In the Super Mario RPG remake, Mario and his friends can interact with Yoshi after traveling to Yo’ster Isle. The location is home to various Yoshis, all of whom are participating in and spectating a home derby. One such Yoshi that stands out from all the rest is Baby Yoshi, who can grow into the evolved version known as Fat Yoshi.
However, it’s not exactly simple seeing Baby Yoshi develop into Fat Yoshi (also known as Big Yoshi and Big Fat Yoshi). But with a bit of work, Mario and Co. can potentially get their hands on various items by unlocking Fat Yoshi. To do this, players should look into tasks that will allow Fat Yoshi to produce quality objects.
How to Hatch Baby Yoshi
First things first. Super Mario RPG players must hatch Baby Yoshi’s egg before Big Yoshi can come into play. The egg and the other Yoshis reside on Yo’ster Isle, which is also the home of the Mushroom Derby that Boshi, a blue Yoshi, champions. The egg’s nest sits just a little north of the derby. Players must defeat Boshi in a race while riding on top of classic Yoshi to make trigger the hatching. As a result, players will earn Yoshi Cookies.
After the race, traverse through the Marrymore section of the game, defeat Bundt and Raspberry, and then return to Yo’ster Isle. The egg hatches and Baby Yoshi becomes a hungry little dinosaur.
Moreover, with Boshi being bested, the Yoshis can now participate in the Mushroom Derby. By racing in subsequent contests, players can earn more Yoshi Cookies as they compete against three other Yoshis. Evidently, these races are entirely optional.
Expert Tip
If Mario and his friends are out of Yoshi Cookies, they can speak with the red Yoshi at the end of the derby line in Yo’ster Isle. They will give the player three Yoshi Cookies to use in a race against Boshi.
Mario and his friends can now utilize Yoshi in battle with the cookies in hand. Summoning Yoshi into combat will let the dinosaur ally consume enemies and turn them into items. This has limitations, but consider using the cookies in battle to serve enemies a curveball.
How to Unlock Fat Yoshi
Baby Yoshi harbors an incredible hunger for Yoshi Cookies, and as it turns out, they’re the items that help him grow. Players only need to feed the hungry infant 30 Yoshi Cookies to enlarge his physique. Feed him the cookies, exit the area, re-enter, and return to the nest. Players should now see a bulgy Yoshi. Baby Yoshi is now Fat Yoshi.
Due to Fat Yoshi’s evolution, he can produce eggs containing various unique items. Such items include Bracers, Energizers, Frog Coins, Red Essence, Yoshi-Ades, and Yoshi Candies, which are obtainable by feeding Fat Yoshi additional cookies. As such, provide Fat Yoshi cookies in 10s and 20s to acquire the objects.
From there, players can return to Fat Yoshi at any time they choose to acquire additional items. Moreover, Yoshi Cookies can be wagered in the race if players want to grab more cookies for the road.
