History[edit]
Mario Kart series[edit]
Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]
The Turbo Yoshi is a kart inMario Kart: Double Dash!!. It is the signature kart of Yoshi. The Turbo Yoshi is a middleweight vehicle with low speed and good acceleration, weight (slightly heavier than other middleweight karts with three stars), and handling. Its overall stats are nearly identical asHeart Coach, except being slightly heavier and having slightly slower off-road. Also, both the Heart Coach and Turbo Yoshi accelerate the slowest of all the four star acceleration karts, but they also have the highest top speeds of all the two star speed karts. The Turbo Yoshi has the same engine sound asTurbo Birdo,Toad Kart, andToadette Kart.
The front end of the kart more closely resembles Yoshi'sNintendo 64-era design, despite Yoshi himself using his his design first seen inMario Party 4.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
The Turbo Yoshi returns inMario Kart Tour, being classified as a Super kart. Unlike before, the kart no longer has another handlebar, the handlebar joints have been moved to the back to make room for the driver's emblem, and the rear of the kart curls upward slightly to resemble Yoshi's tail, replacing the platform. The front end now uses Yoshi's modern design. The now unusable platform is still behind the seat, which has been made bigger. It uses a black version of its original tires. The Turbo Yoshi provides longerJump Boost speed boosts while increasing the number of points earned for performing Jump Boosts.
The game also introduces colored variants (in parentheses is the rarity tier, based on the Yoshi drivers' tiers):
- Red Turbo Yoshi (Super)
- Blue Turbo Yoshi (Super)
- White Turbo Yoshi (High-End)
- Black Turbo Yoshi (High-End)
- Orange Turbo Yoshi (Super)
- Pink Turbo Yoshi (Super)
- Light-blue Turbo Yoshi (Super)
- Yellow Turbo Yoshi (Super)
As well as being normally available in the Shop's pipes and Daily Selects, the Turbo Yoshi was part of the Eggshell Glider Pack in the2020 Yoshi Tour alongside theEggshell Glider.
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit[edit]
The Turbo Yoshi, referred to in this game as theSuper Yoshi was added in the version 1.1.0 update ofMario Kart Live: Home Circuit. It keeps most of its design fromMario Kart Tour, but with an added camera near the sole handlebar and a Yoshi egg where theemblem would otherwise be. Unlike most karts in this game, it does not change its color scheme when used byLuigi. It is unlocked by finishing theMario Cup in the top three.
