Nintendo’s Mario franchise doesn’t just do well because of our little mustached Italian plumber, but because the franchise has a whole array of quirky and loveable characters that pull at ones heartstrings in all the games.
From the villains like Bowser and Bowser Jr to Mario’s sidekicks including Luigi, Donkey Kong, Rosalina, Princess Peach, Wario, Toad and many more. All these NPC’s have adorable graphics, unique personalities and influence the games in amazing ways. Some of these characters also have their own games due to their popularity, our most favorite one being Luigi’s Mansion. If you haven’t played that yet, you definitely need to get your hands on it.
With all this being said, our most lovable and favorite character from the Mario franchise apart from Mario himself is definitely Yoshi. Not only does Yoshi make an appearance in many Mario games, but he also has many games in which he’s the main character like Yoshi’s Story and Yoshi’s Island, both of which were a great source of entertainment growing up.
It’s nice to see the popularity of all the Mario characters increase over the years to the point where we see most of them being a part of the Mario Kart series or the Mario Kart Tour game because these games are an ode to the entire franchise, in fact, an ode to Nintendo itself. Without all of Mario’s allies and friends, these games just wouldn’t sit right.
This is why the latest promised update to the Mario Kart tour mobile game includes an event dedicated to Yoshi. Known for its giant rolling Yoshi egg, the Yoshi Tour will begin on April 5th (today!) and will feature the N64 track ‘Yoshi Valley’. Fans are looking forward to this event as many love the little green dinosaur and love playing as him in the game.
