Yoshi is Nintendo's green dinosaur companion to Mario, first introduced in Super Mario World in 1990 and later starring in his own Yoshi's Island series. His habit of announcing his name in a high, cheerful voice became a recognisable part of his character across later Mario games, cartoons and merchandise. On soundboards and in short-form edits, the short name call is reused as a quick audio signature for Yoshi himself, because listeners recognise the character from the voice alone even without seeing him. That instant recognition keeps the clip useful for Mario fans and meme creators alike.
