Yoshi

Yoshi is a character and the only starter character in Super Mario 64 DS. He has average speed and low power, but high jump height (tied with Luigi). He is able to flutter kick after a jump and he is also the tallest character. He is also unable to punch or kick (without a mushroom), dive or grab objects and enemies, and his ground-pound cannot break Bricks or defeat Boos. However, his moves are very unique compared to the other characters. He can stick out his tongue to swallow enemies with A. After swallowing them, he can either spit them out with A, or turn it into an egg which he can throw. His Power Flower ability is Fire Power, which lets him breathe streams of fire for a limited amount of time.
