Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
He actually gets hurt by them, just like falling off the screen, whereas getting hit by anything else merely knocks the baby from his back?
When Yoshi gets hit by an enemy while carrying Mario in Super Mario World, the plumber merely falls off his back. Maybe it's a Continuity Nod.
What exactly do these "stars" do in Yoshi's Island DS? I mean as in the star children; the reason Bowser goes back in time. What do they do? Does it give them some kind of power or something. It was rather ambiguous.
It... gives them top billing in the series, including spinoffs? Maybe it's more than that, but I wouldn't know. Still, I'm fond of the theory that the seventh star child, a green Yoshi, was granted the ability to speak properly. Thus he's the fluent Yoshi seen in a number of earlier games, most notably Super Mario RPG, where he serves as a translator.
(Original Poster) I believe that the green Yoshi who is the seventh star child is THE Yoshi, and it makes sense (they wouldn't just make it a random Yoshi). But is it officially him?
Well, Bowser stated that the power the stars would give him would enable him to take over the universe, so I guess that's the answer...
