Yoshi’s official, real name has been revealed, it’s, “T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas”, according to the Nintendo character guide that was released way back in 1993. The official description also refers to Mario as homo nintendonus and a plumber, who rescued the anthropomorphic dinosaur and quickly became friends with him. The duo regularly sets out to rescue Yoshi’s pals from the clutches of the main villain, Bowser. Its shocking that a well known and well loved Nintendo character has such a crazy name that basically nobody knew about for so long lol.
