Super Mario RPG shows us what Yoshi without shoes looks like

The return of Super Mario RPG reintroduces some of the most imaginative characters of the franchise to a new audience. Alongside wooden warrior Geno and puffy prince Mallow is Boshi, a Yoshi that bravely disregards the design trends of its species by walking barefoot and sporting shades.

It’s interesting that Mario fans think that Yoshi not wearing shoes is weird considering he’s an animal, but it makes more sense when you look into the character’s design. In an interview with Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Yoshi’s concept artist Takashi Tezuka about Super Mario World, it was revealed that Yoshi was conceptualized around the idea of Mario riding a horse.
