Fun Fact: Miyamoto once said that Yoshi isn’t a dragon or dinosaur. He’s a Yoshi.
yeah this is big brain time

Jovidoobie ok
MARIO IS NOT A HUMAN HE IS A MARIO
Is it possible that nearly every invention from Nintendo started as a weird idea by Miyamoto? Then he gets disappointed because his weird idea doesn't go up as planned just to be realized in the end and be really good?
he's such a genius. it's quite insane how games as we know it would not be the same without him..
No. Some were the brainchild of Gunpei Yokoi, another Nintendo legend.
Poop
RedGaming Studio thats not even funny
Carrie Taylor no no no that was iwata who died not miyamoto
I feel like toad is much weirder than yoshi, not to say yoshi isn't weird
Or that bricks are people
We never questioned it either, the children that played these games. It just was. We just went with it and appreciated that it existed at all.
Or how Princess Toadstool is really Princess Toadshit. We never really question these things until you actually stop to think about it lol

A game where absolutely everything has eyes and you have to figure out which eyed things are enemies and which are normal tiles or blocks
he was just trying to keep an eye on the project.....
ba dum tsss....
i love how there is only like one clip of footage from inside nintendos walls and its used in every video.
Nintendo wouldnt even leak when employees used the bathroom
Dude it’s great you used original footage of the team. Great documenting brotha

And now Miyamoto had his dream of Mario riding a horse realized at Mario&Sonic in the Olympic Games
Yes
I hate that they ride horses in those games instead of Yoshies.

Everyone: Oh it just looks like he's hitting yoshi, but he's just pointing.
Hino: naw man you were right before lol.
I mean how do you control a horse? You gotta be kinda physical with it
Read the news. I saw a TH-cam video where, news flash: Nintendo said that Mario WAS punching poor Yoshi. WAS, now he isn’t
With the newer games he is pointing
I mean they changed what the animation was supposed to be when they made official artwork for it so even then it was changed to pointing.
He never _actually_ punched Yoshi. The animation in the final game is and always was Mario simply pointing. Punching Yoshi was _considered_ but they changed it long before they actually got to work on it.
Yoshi's Cookie came out for original NES back in 1992.
BUT Yoshi's Cookie (NES) came out in 1992 while Super Mario World for the SNES came out in 1990!
There is also a puzzle game just called "yoshi" on nes around the same time.
@@tigmil8116 "Yoshi" came out in 1991
@@tigmil8116 I actually have a copy of it :>
I somehow (probably incorrectly thought) that yoshi came out of the egg hurling final bosses on a lot of the super Mario 2 levels even though SMB2 was basically a revamp of a Japanese game (toki toki panic)
I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole video,I just love Yoshi so much!!
Son
who doesnt love yoshi?
i love him so much dude hes the best i would die for him
5:25 That's probably why the bricks in SMW have eyes! I always wondered that.
Because bin the first mario game guide said the blocks were people
@@smansmickgaming6789 Yes, that is indeed the story of the first game. However, I was strictly talking about the graphic design origins of the SMW blocks. Not how it fits into the overall "lore" of the Mario games.
As Thomas stated, Tezuka liked putting eyes on everything whether it made sense or not. So if you take a look at the Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3 blocks, they don't have eyes. But when you look at the Super Mario World blocks, they do have eyes. Which shows that the reason why they have eyes on them in that game is because Tezuka came up with the idea roughly between the end of Super Mario Bros. 3's development and Super Mario World's development.
Oh sorry

Ever since I played Super Mario World as a little kid Yoshi has been to this day my all time favourite video game character.
No one:
Miyamoto: “I WANT MARIO TO RIDE A HORSE”
Trentthekid64 2 people said stuff, so the “no one” part doesn’t count.
Squiddles wooooshes jokes
It means nobody asked for it
Trentthekid64 2 but people still said stuff all over the world.
Squiddles wooooshes jokes You obviously don’t understand the joke 🤦🏽♂️.
Ej 2TaP are you illiterate, because you literally said my name
8:19 So basically Yoshi's cousin is a Koopa Troopa
Now i see
Why they look kinda alike xD
I just love them 💚
This is awesome I just recently named my crested gecko Yoshi so this was perfectly timed!
Tried to ride it?
Gekcos are way too small for riding. Also is he green.
@@Seven71987 I think it was a joke.
God bless you and your Yoshi!
You know what I love about your show? the quality and the research is fantastic BUT what I love more is this childlike feel, not in a negative way, but in a VERY positive way (as if a kid is describing the game he/she wants for christmass and why said kid LOVES that game!). I can feel as if we were trasnported back to our childhood again! The way and the love for the games that come through the way you talk, I see the kid inside of you speaking out to us about your most cherished game. Makes me wanna cry with a feeling of nostalgia! Hot summer afternoons sitting in front of the TV playing my games without one single worry in my head(I personally can almost feel as if i was THERE!!!!). keep up the good work! you are the best!
True!
Yoshi: it devours it's preys and turns them in to it's offspring. It throws most of the eggs as an projectile weapon.
That's pretty messed up when you think about it...
So lets not
Naturally, because a van would be too much logic to handle for this former plumber.
There was a game for the NES I remember from when I was a kid, "Adventure Island II", where the player character can find 4 different dinosaurs -- in eggs, no less -- that he can ride on and give him different abilities. The argument that Yoshi couldn't be implemented on the NES always falls flat, IMO, because of that game. Either way, he was the most memorable thing about Super Mario World, and I'm glad Yoshi has become a mainstay in the Mario universe ever since.
2:20 he wants mario to ride something. Peach?
I love history, I love video games. This Channel is the best.
Indeed it is! After Beta64 went downhill, this guy has been my source for video game history.
Yes, same here! Thumbs up for you, awesome person! 👍
Brigham Davis Beta64 has gotten better. His latest video is great
So you love the BYZANTINT EMPIRE?
6:15 well, the actual Yoshi prototype sprites were leaked yesterday so...yeah.
Since you actually mentioned Tamagon, I'm surprised you didn't mention that when he spawns on Devil World, he's "born" from some kind of egg thing, and it makes the exact sound Yoshi's egg makes when it hatches in Super Mario World, but in 8-bit.
Also, that Yoshi sketch looks like a weird Chocobo thing (the lower head at least).
Tamagon does look like Yoshi's early baby sprite.
The thing from Devil World looks a bit like the Bubble Bobble Dragons.
So the roots of Yoshi’s design could come from there if he is indeed based on the Devil World creature.
That would be interesting, but Bubble Bobble was released in 1986, whereas Devil World came out in 1984, so it was probably the reverse.
Man, you have a gift for telling stories and summarising facts in a compelling way. I think I already knew 80% of this story, yet it felt like the first time I heard it when watching your video. Great work!
the first yoshi in the thumbnail is yoshi after years of inbreeding
*GIVE ME THE F*CKING BABY!*
*Coin sounds*
@Graham Morcom Oh hey you watch Dorkly to?
9:17
Idk man, those stubby legs look adorable asf
5:27 if mytamoto didn't put a stop for that then super mario bros 3 would be a weird game
Edit: Wow! 60 likes? That's the most I have ever got in a comment. Thanks for the likes! :D
Oh God...
*EYES IN EYES*
So you're saying it isn't?
nowonmetube i think its a great game
Mama mia
3:08 Thats the best version of the world map from that game i've ever seen for some reason 😂😅
*No please don't show me Beta Yoshi ever again*
*Beta
But I agree. It looked so weird.
he meant again
Yes his nose is really small
2:38 would’ve been funny if the video just ended on this fade out
6:18 Anyone else think they kinda look like baby Yoshis?
Samuel Cho you lied to me it was advertiser the whole time lol
You can see traces of that thumbnail Yoshi in baby Yoshi on the SNES version, or when Yoshi first pops out of his shell on the SNES.
Devil World is definitely not a PacMan clone, similar premise maybe, but definitely not a PacMan clone.
Yoshi is made in the form of a frog ( or a turtle, depends how you see it ) who has modeled after a dinosaur ( or a dragon ). I was always thinking this but i can say Yoshi is a invented creature who can be seen in more ways. Mario riding him as a horse can give us many aspects to learn and appropiate details to show everyone the imagination of creators to combine dinosaurs, dragons, turtles and make them as horses ( or pets )
Edit: This is what i'm thinking and i appreciate the video games.
How was yoshi created?
Well, you see...
When a daddy yoshi and a mommy yoshi....
He just appeared
@@Portalcrafter shut up don't ruin this
@Frizzurd yeppppp
Thomas I am so proud of how far you have come! You have the perfect formula for Nintendo trivia videos. I honestly wish I could meet you one day and lose at smash 😂
I was looking forward to your upload and you didn't let me down :D!
very cool facts, after playing games for 20+ years I never knew this. Thanks for the upload dude, much apreciated.
The sketch you showed was planned for the first game before the platforming concept was a thing
This is the real origin!
0:55 “All hard at work”
*shows people sitting down doing nothing*
SHOOT I DIDNT REALIZE THE SNES CONTROLLER DONT SUE ME
Your content is great Thomas, keep going!
thank you, thomas. your videos are amazing, and you always tell stories i didnt know.
You can really tell how much effort and research he puts into his videos. Awesome video!
Thomas has learned how to not hold the camera two feet above him. love this character development :)
Interesting video of the history of Yoshi's design.
I did find it funny that Yoshi started off looking allot like a strange turtle dinosaur hybrid but after a few years the design of Yoshi improved to the love-able character that he became.
Yoshi from Super Mario 64 original looks completely different to the Super Mario 64 DS version where he is playable.
You are an amazing researcher! Well done ! Just subscribed
He was meant to be a crocodile but Nintendo stole his likeness
You're saying they couldn't program Yoshi on the NES but what makes him different from the shoe Goomba from Mario 3?
Yoshi uses way more sprites and animations to work.
Goomba shoes are just 2 8x16 sprites and only 1 frame.
Yoshi spliting his tongle in SMW is 2 16x16 sprites (not suported on NES) for the body, 5 or 6 8x8 sprites for the tongle and dynamic animation.
Not impossible on NES, but very heavy with enemies on screen.
@@MaxwelThuThu i just mean that the
I mean why couldn't thwy replace the shoe gomba sprite with youshi sprite even if he has no toung
A weird looking mount is perfect for what was at the time a very unconventional main character in a weird world
Hey Thomas, Im really impressed by the maturity and breadth of your videos. Great content that keeps me coming back.
Awe the ending was so wholesome :)
0:08
Birdo: *sweats profusely*
I remember Nintendo saying they wanted a Yoshi in the first game but couldn't get it to work but Little Nemo the Dream Master had rideable characters like a gorilla and a lizard.
I watched the whole ad for you! It was an amazing video!
hoo boy after these leaks this video is due for a remake
Yup
What happened?
Personally, I always wondered if Yoshi's design was influenced by Bub and Bob from Bubble Bobble. I doubt it, but the game was released on the NES.
Yoshi is and has always been my favorite character alongside Mario and Luigi
me too
I can’t get the image of ‘Miyamoto sighing wistfully at his pinned up drawing of horseback Mario while his coworkers look on in concern’ out of my head
Mario punching Yoshi shouldn't be too surprising considering how abusive he was to his pet gorilla Donkey Kong...
Mario's always been an animal abuser. He must be stopped!
@Tape Boy Have you even watched the video?
ooooOOOga booga good guy bad??????
Shut up, MatPat.
Sega tried to.
Look at the sprite art of small mario making Yoshi eat things: he's clearly pointing.
Very interesting look forward to your Yoshi Island video
Yoshi’s always looked like a spiny frog with a really long neck to me (and the koopas as “turtle yoshis” lol)
Yoshi, literally only says one thing - its name and people still say it wrong.
The rest of it was great.
"The technology of the NES just wasn't up to the task" and yet Adventure Island 2 on the NES managed it in 1991.
And Adventure Island 3 and 4!
To be fair, that was after super Mario world came out. But in that you can't get off of the dinosaurs either, you are on them till you get hit.
@@dudeman5303 Producing a game takes time, and Nintendo has a vetting process. Super Mario World came out in Japan in November of 1990, Adventure Island II came out in North America in February of 1991, Super Mario World came out in North America in August of 1991.
Accounting for the time and logistics involved, they were effectively simultaneous, Nintendo of America was seeing it done while the home office was saying it couldn't be done.
7:02 These children are scary...
Another Excellent Video 👌
Keep up the great work! 😎
Wow wasn’t expecting to tear up at that music near the end :’( Thomas SAD docs HAHAHAH
It all started when one small green dino wanted to break the law and commit tax fraud...
Dan-The-Squid No, no I don't think I will
Haha yoshi tax fraud funny and original joke
Yes
Yoshi is the best fictional character ever hands down
Thomas, you're doing awesome work.

8:30 *What if he's also a turtle than does that mean Yoshi is on top of the chain in the Circle of Koopas?*
Wouldn’t that go to bowser though?
I just realized I literally binge watched almost all of your videos
I just wanted to let you know that you genuinely make me happier than any other TH-camr on the planet. I love you, you sweet little bean
Yoshi is my favorite character!
Dude you need a time machine so you can go back to nintendo's offices at the time and get some more background footage! Anyway, good video! Didn't know he was originally gonna be a horse!
I really love your channel! Keep going.
Another great video Thomas!
2:31 they knew their onions when it came to game development?
I love yoshi Island (snes Version) so much❤️
Last time I checked your channel only 3 months ago you had 2,000 subscribers. You’re gonna be big and famous very soon.
You're telling me
that all these years
that saddle on Yoshi's back
isn't a saddle
but a friggin turtle shell
_I've been lied to_
TH-cam, you've recommended this to me for the past day... time to learn my dino history!
Make a video about gba mp3 player
That’d be nice
Akfamilyhome did
Is that really a thing wow
Got a Sega genesis mini ad before a video about yoshi origin on SNES
These videos are way more entertaining than they should be
Am I the only one who notices the similarity between Tamagon and the Bubble Bobble dragons???
Trust me mostly watching 1 about splatoon, I was mostly daydreaming about making a book named The omie squad. I’m weird ok for a 6th grader that’s creative!
My week consists of:
Thomas Game Docs
Scott the Woz
Caddicarus
I recommend the gaming historian
Lucas Porter I love his channel. I wish he uploaded more. But I understand why he does not
Ya he doesn’t upload to much only good if you haven’t exhausted his videos
Thomas: Yoshi is kinda weird.
Me: what about Birdo?
Yoshi is just....lovely. ❤️🥰
Actually, Yoshi was created on October 17, 1969, after the jury found Al Capone guilty of several counts of tax evasion. The criminal energy that was taken out of circulation had to go somewhere, and thus manifested itself in the mind of Miyamoto at Nintendo Headquarters just a few years later.
surely this meme isn't tired and irritating right
Is your humor as dead as this meme?
Just stop with this shitty meme already...
Nice
Meme still relevant
What’s with the lullaby music? Anyway! Good video, very informative and well edited as always. You’re my favorite youtuber.
It's from Yoshi's Island for the SNES. I think it's the ending theme if I recall correctly. It's one of my personal favorite themes from the game. It has a ton of great music, I definitely recommend checking it out if you ever have a bit of time to pass!
Edited to fix a typo. Silly autocorrect.
Shigeru Miyamoto in 1985: "What should our next game be?"
Employee: "How about a game with a mushroom-eating plumber in red clothing defeating walking brown mushrooms to defeat a giant turtle who has captured a princess?"
Another Employee: "And in five years, we can create a sequel where this plumber rides a green dinosaur-bird-frog-horse-turtle hybrid!"
Miyamoto: *It's perfect*
