Nintendo has showcased some early sprites from Super Mario World on their website. The designs show a Yoshi that looks slightly different to that which we are accustomed to as you can see from the image below, spotted by Reddit user TheCrystalCave.
Nintendo Reveals Original Super Mario World Sprites Showing An Early Version Of Yoshi

I can see why the made the change, this guy’s like Waluyoshi or somethin
That is some Resident Evil level of terrifying right there. Inbred Yoshi is gonna eat your soul.
That Yoshi look like he on some crack.
Glad they went with the yoshi that’s only on weed.

XD
I thought that as well xD
Don’t know what you guys are going on about. If you compare it to the baby yoshi sprites from the same game, it makes a lot more sense than the Yoshi they ended up with. Looks much more like an actual dinosaur.
That’s not to say I dislike current Yoshi. I just don’t understand the other criticism here.
Agreed. We’re just so used to the Yoshi we have today.
||Why did you delete the Xbot article?…||
It came to light that the reviewer involved was a freelancer who according to a writer at IGN had only reviewed one or two products. Was a messy post so I deleted it.
||I see, so not even IGN wants anything to do with his nonsense…||
It was too stupid. The fact was there and he denied then, and for what purpose?
||Just look at the evidence, who corrupted gaming with multimedia nonsense? Who tried to sabotage our plans at Best Buy bases? And a few other direct attacks…||
||Xbots, it’s always them…||
Wasnt there a Yoshi’s Cookies for the Nes, and yoshi looked the way it does on Super Mario World? 🤔
Original Yoshi looked a bit like a child molester.
Looks like some kind of doofus
Oh my god! The horror! D: So glad they didn’t’ stop at this design!
This could be the sprite of Yoshi after all the animal abuse from Mario.
lol
Looks like a duck.
