Yoshis island poochy
So we all know what happened! Over the millions of years since the release of Super Mario Bros., Goombas have adapted to their new environments and evolved into distinct subspecies. came out, and we all know what happened! Orders for Goombas were through the roof! Nintendo had no choice but to start mass-producing them, leading to quite some environmental and ethical issues as is typical for cramped, large-scale farming, but we don’t need to get into that right now. They waddle and get jumped upon, and have a perfect design for it! They have feet for waddling, and look squishy enough to stomp easily. Goombas have been a hit from the beginning. I wanted to do something special for Mario Day, but since it was a Tuesday, I’m doing it now instead, on Marii day! And what better way than to write about the most iconic Marii enemy of all… Goomba (Yoshi’s Island)! Yes, I know the labeling here is confusing.

#YOSHIS ISLAND POOCHY SERIES#
…but this is! Poochy’s only appearance in the mainline Mario series so far, he appears in many hint murals in Super Mario Odyssey, and can even be found swimming beneath the surface of a lake of pure poison.
Poochy replaces wolves in the Super Mario Mashup pack in Minecraft on Nintendo consoles! Watch out, this Poochy is actually a mere mortal… and can be hostile! This is not the Poochy I know! …but there’s still more to say about Poochy! I will not rest until I have gone over all of his appearances! Poochy-Pups! Are they Poochy’s children? Just puppies of his species? Whatever they are, I love them! Smaller, weirder, and even less dog-like than Poochy himself, they appear in the games easy mode and help Yoshi find stuff, just like Poochy did in Yoshi’s Story.Īnd finally, Poochy and his pups will soon reappear in Yoshi’s Crafted World, and I think it’s safe to assume that his role will only get bigger and bigger! Maybe they’ll even rerelease his amiibo! I hope… …AND THERE’S EVEN MORE! Poochy got his own plush amiibo! Which is sadly incredibly expensive now, but I’m so glad this exists! Hot dog! But hey, what are those little Poochys on the cover art up there…? Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World! That’s right, the 3DS port has Poochy’s name BEFORE Yoshi’s, even! As the first word! Wowee! In this game, there are even levels where you can play as Poochy, for the first and so far only time ever! Wow!
It took waaay until Yoshi’s New Island for Poochy to reappear, but it was worth it for this low-poly model.Īnd then, Yoshi’s Woolly World! Poochy’s big break! Poochy once again appears with his classic “invincible friend” role, but this time, he can be taken into any level, if you so desire! And that’s not all… As you can tell from the distinctive art style, Poochy next appears in Yoshi’s Story! Here, when freed from a post he’s chained to, Poochy will sniff out goodies for the Yoshis. But I don’t like this! I can’t handle an antagonistic Poochy! Next game! Next game!Īh, that’s better. Poochy’s next appearance is in Tetris Attack, where… OH NO! Yoshi has to fight him! In only his second ever appearance, Poochy has been brainwashed, and if I’m being honest, an invincible dog is a very smart choice for a villain to brainwash. All just like a real dog! However, he’s also invincible, as we all wish real dogs were, and so Yoshi can ride on his back across what would otherwise be instant death! He’s a WEIRD dog! Honestly kind of looks more like some kind of spotted amphibian with a tail, but nonetheless, this design still communicates “Dog” just fine! And if it doesn’t the name does a pretty good job, too. It’s already lovable enough that he’s a dog, but that’s not all. It’s Poochy! Who doesn’t love Poochy? Satan, probably! I know I love him. Debut: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island
