Existence of different Super Mario World versions
Posted On: January 26, 2023

Years ago, I had an argument with a friend about the colors of the Yoshis in Super Mario World. I claimed them to be green, red, yellow, and blue; my friend argued that the colors were green, red, yellow, and purple. (His argument, which is admittedly challenging to refute, is, "Look at it.") We've had this argument continually for over a decade.


Like everyone else with a pulse, I've been playing around with ChatGPT. I decided to see how it would do in settling this dispute. Here was its response:.


My immediate response, based on my experience, was that nearly none of this is true. But, I hesitated because of the claim that there are different versions. After some searching, I still have no evidence that this is true, but I have seen some strange things that still leave me with a bit of doubt, such as this Quora post in which someone again asserts there to be six Yoshis (albeit a different six than what ChatGPT told me).


My question is: Is there any truth to either the claim of six Yoshis or of some alternate versions? Certainly, there are localized versions in different languages, but I'm asking if there's a more profound version difference of some sort that I have missed.


I imagine this answer comes from a conflation of SMW with some entirely different game (SMW2: Yoshi's Island, perhaps? Or Yoshi's Story?) but I can't seem to find a perfect match to support that assertion. I think this is an important example about the inherent limitations of AI language models, but I'd like to be just a bit more confident that I have the facts right before using that example.


Question from user Aaron Montgomery at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

According to Fandom:.


There [are] eleven known colors. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Light Blue, Blue, Pink, Purple, White, Black and Brown.


The Yoshi Clan, with every colour except Brown Yoshi.


Green, Red, Yellow, and Blue Yoshi appear in Super Mario World (making you the winner of your argument :).


Light Blue, Pink, Purple, and Brown Yoshi appear in Super Mario World 2.


Black and White Yoshi first appeared in Yoshi's Story.


Orange Yoshi's first appearance is in Game & Watch Gallery 3.


There is a more extensive overview on MarioWiki.com.


This page adds a Magenta and a Gold variation, but their viability/existence depends slightly on your interpretation.
