History Characters / SuperMarioBrosAllies

* DeliciousDaydream: They'll sometimes swallow up people whole, by pure accident, as they're always hungry. Luigi got gulped up by Yoshi in ''[[VideoGame/MarioTennis Mario Power Tennis]]", because he thought the trophy his friend was holding was a pineapple.

* AnimatedActors: In ''VideoGame/MariosGameGallery'', the baby Yoshis play the role as checker pieces against Koopa Troopas in Checkers.

* AnIcePerson: The spin-offs occasionally show an affinity for ice. Her home track in ''Mario Kart 7'' is an Ice World, she is a water attribute helper in ''VideoGame/PuzzleAndDragons'' (water encompasses ice in that franchise), and her Hyper Strike in ''VideoGame/MarioStrikers'' has her freeze the ball by kicking it to the vacuum of space.

* ColorCodedCharacters: The racers are distinguished by the color of their shoes, shells, and hats.

!!Gearmos
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gearmo_artwork___super_mario_galaxy_2.png]]

A robotic race who want to keep things tidy.

* ThePollyanna: Similarly to Mario, Yoshi is cheerful and optimistic.

* {{Gasshole}}: Yoshis fart instead of releasing eggs after eating Fuzzies in ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' or any enemy in ''VideoGame/YoshisUniversalGravitation'', with the latter game even having [[https://www.mariowiki.com/images/4/41/YoshiUniversalGravitation.png official artwork]] of it.
** This trait is dialed up to 11 in ''[[Manga/SuperMarioBrosMangaMania Super Mario-kun]]'', where Yoshi can constantly be seen farting, both as a gag and, often-times as a [[{{Fartillery}} weapon]].

* DistressedDude: All of them are male, save for the [[DistressedDamsel Patissiere, Mermaid, Figure Skater]], and possibly the [[AmbiguousGender Cowboy/Cowgirl]] Sparklas, and all of them are [[spoiler:imprisoned in the basement in distorted plays courtesy of Madame Grape]].

* {{Irony}}: These assorted heroes are themselves being saved by the most historic DistressedDamsel in gaming.

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: She's the mother figure and leader to all of the Lumas. She's also one of the most powerful characters in the franchise. Despite not being involved in action as much as the Mario Bros. or Bowser, as a character of her intelligence and power, she's perfectly capable of tearing things up herself, as seen in her playable appearances and [[spoiler:during the finale of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' as mentioned below]].

* RankScalesWithAsskicking: She is clearly a mother figure and leader to the Lumas whom she lives with on her Comet Observatory. Rosalina's a Physical God and one of the most powerful characters in the series.

'''Voiced in English by''': Judy Strangis (''WesternAnimation/SaturdaySupercade''), Emily Bauer (''VideoGame/MarioVsDonkeyKong'' series), '''Creator/KateHiggins''' (''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' onwards)\\

* NighInvulnerability: As a playable character in ''New Super Luigi U'', he takes zero damage from anything that isn't a OneHitKill.

'''Voiced by''': Shohei Komatsu

* CuteButCacophonic: Starting with ''Super Mario Advance'', the generic male Toads' voices got very raspy.

* ArchEnemy: To Kamek. They first encountered simply because the Yoshis were helping Mario reunite with his brother, but Kamek has over time developed a personal hatred of the dinosaurs themselves, which they repay in kind.

* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Seriously, the utter ''shitstorm'' they go through just to get a single baby home...

* IconicSequelCharacter: Introduced nine years after Mario's first game, it's difficult to imagine the series without Yoshi.

* LightningBruiser: When Yoshi appears as a mount for Mario, he can crush resistant enemies aand walk on spikes, and only BottomlessPits and lava pools can actually kill him.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: As a baby or an adult.

* DistressedDude: All of them are male, save for the [[DistressedDamsel Patissiere, Mermaid, and Figure Skater]] Sparklas, and all of them are [[spoiler:imprisoned in the basement in distorted plays courtesy of Madame Grape]].

* AnIcePerson: The spin-offs occasionally show an affinity for ice. Her home track in ''Mario Kart 7'' is an Ice World, she is a water attribute helper in ''VideoGame/PuzzleAndDragons'' (water encompasses ice in that franchise), and her Hyper Strike in ''VideoGame/MarioStrikers'' has her freeze the ball.
