Yoshi is a puzzle game starring the titular green dinosaur, made by the people who later brought us Pokémon. The music even sounds like Pokémon.

Unused Graphics

The baby Yoshi on the Japanese title screen has unused graphics for its bottom half. Presumably, they intended to show both half- and fully-hatched versions.

Early Final

An earlier, less shiny set of Yoshi sprites can be found near the end of CHR ROM. A single tile for one of Star Yoshi's sprites was overwritten, but the early sprites are otherwise fully intact.

A small piece of a big Yoshi.

Part of a sprite for a scrapped fifth type of Yoshi, which seemingly would have been bigger than any of the types that are used. These tiles are all that's left of it.

A zero, seemingly a remnant of an early font. This is similar to the point graphics from Super Mario Bros. 3, and may have served a similar purpose.

A set of tiles that would have been used to add shadows to the menus. Below is a mockup of what this might have looked like;

Regional Differences

Japan US Europe
Come along, eggs! There he is. Where's Mario?

Every region has a different title. In Japan, it's Yoshi no Tamago (Yoshi's Egg), in the US it's Yoshi, and in Europe it's Mario & Yoshi. The Japanese title screen has an extra Yoshi egg and the baby Yoshi's head is at a slightly different angle.
