Yoshi first appeared in Super Mario World in 1990 for the Super Nintendo, introduced as Mario's rideable companion from Dinosaur Land. The character quickly became a Nintendo staple, starring in his own platformers and appearing in Mario Kart, Mario Party and Super Smash Bros. His simple vocabulary, mostly saying his own name in a squeaky voice, made his sounds instantly recognisable. Clips of Yoshi repeating his name have circulated for years in gaming videos, remixes and soundboards, where fans use them as a cheerful reaction.
