Yoshi is Nintendo's friendly dinosaur companion from the Super Mario series, appearing in Mario Kart World as a wandering NPC in its open free roam mode. Players encountering these characters during exploration recorded their short hurt reactions when bumped, and this owowowow clip was lifted from gameplay footage and shared as a standalone soundboard sound. Its appeal comes from its brevity and recognisable Yoshi voice, making it easy to reuse outside racing games as a general cartoon pain reaction for streams, edits and meme compilations online.
