[edit] Main Antagonists
[edit] Baby Bowser
Baby Bowser is the young version of Bowser, and the final boss of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. In this game, Baby Bowser wants to ride Yoshi, calling him a "gween donkey" ("Hey what kind of gween donkey is dat?"). Baby Bowser attacks by ground-pounding the floor in his nursery, creating a ripple that causes Baby Mario to fall off of Yoshi's back. He also attempts to jump on Yoshi's back, knocking Baby Mario off. To defeat him, Yoshi must ground pound and create ripples, which damage Baby Bowser. After being hit by three ripples, Kamek will turn Baby Bowser into a Giant Baby Bowser. Though Baby Bowser is one of the main rivals of Yoshi, he didn't appear in Tetris Attack. Instead, full-grown Bowser took his place as the final of the last four bosses.
Baby Bowser also appears as the final boss in Yoshi Touch and Go and Yoshi Topsy Turvy. Baby Bowser also appears as an antagonist in the non-Yoshi game Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time.
Baby Bowser is surprisingly playable in Yoshi's Island DS. Here he aids Yoshi by using his fireballs to melt ice and defeat enemies. In the end of the game Baby Bowser betrays Yoshi though and once again becomes super-sized by Kamek and must be defeated.
[edit] Bowser
Thought Bowser usually appears as the main enemy in the mainstream Mario series he has appeared as the main atagonist in atleast two Yoshi series games.
In Tetris Attack Bowser and Kamek, trying to get revenge on Yoshi place a curse on Yoshi's Island. Bowser only appears at the end of the game to battle Yoshi.
In Yoshi's Island DS it is revealed that Bowser was the one who orchestrated the kidnapping of dozens of babies. In this game Bowser travels back in time in search of seven legendary stars that can apparently give him the power to rule the universe. Bowser appears as the games final boss, right after his child self.
[edit] Kamek
Kamek is the main enemy of the Yoshi clan and usually appears as the main atagonist in the Yoshi series games.
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Kamek, foreseeing that in the future two heroes (who would be born that night) would cause choas for the Koopa Kingdom tried to intercept the babies delivery by a stork. Attacking the stork Kamek only succeeded in kidnapping one baby, the other, Baby Mario, fell to Yoshi's Island. Here he landed on Yoshi's back.
Kamek appears before every boss battle to enlarge a monster (or give them some kind of advantage) to fight Yoshi. After Baby Bowser is defeated Kamek swoops down and grabs the young Koopa prince, he vows revenge against Yoshi before zooming off.
Kamek also appears as the third boss in Tetris Attack. He also appears in Yoshi Touch and Go and Yoshi Topsy Turvy.
Kamek also appears, along with Baby Bowser and the adult Bowser as a main antagonists in Yoshi's Island DS. Once again he appears to enlarge/improve bosses.
Kamek has also appeared in a few non-Yoshi games such as Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time.
[edit] Bosses featured in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
The bosses Hookbill the Koopa, Naval Piranha and Raphael the Raven also appear in the game Tetris Attack. Tap-Tap the Golden also appears in Yoshi's Island DS.
[edit] Burt the Bashful
Burt is the first mini-boss of world one encountered in Yoshi's Island, Burt is supersized by Kamek. Burt's only method of attack is jumping around the room. In order to defeat Burt the Bashful, Yoshi must hit him with eggs. Every time Burt is hit with an egg, his pants shrink in size. After being hit six times, his pants disappear, causing him to blush and deflate.
[edit] Salvo the Slime
Salvo is just an enlarged version of the Lemon Drop enemy and the final boss of world one. Salvo is actually the easiest boss in the game, even easier than Burt. Salvo isn't even able to damage Yoshi. Yoshi must hurl eggs at Salvo, getting hit will make him smaller and also dispatch lemon drops which can hurt Yoshi. Salvo also appears in the later boss levels, where he will be guarding a key and try to knock Yoshi onto spikes, he ends up met with the same results.
Salvo reappears in Mario Party Advance on the second floor of the Duel Tower. This game reveals that Salvo is capable of speech.
[edit] Bigger Boo
Bigger Boo is an enlarged version of Big Boo, and the mini-boss of world two in Yoshi's Island. Like ordinary Boos, Bigger Boo hides when looked at directly by Yoshi, and attacks when Yoshi's back is turned. Bigger Boo increases in size whenever hit by eggs, which must be bounced off of walls to hit and defeat him. In order to replenish his stock of eggs, Yoshi must eat the passing Fangs that fly by. Eventually, Bigger Boo will grow so large that he explodes, thus being defeated.
[edit] Roger the Potted Ghost
Roger is not enlarged like most other bosses, instead Kamek brings him to life from a flower pot. Roger is the final boss of world two. Roger combats Yoshi by spitting blue flames at him and striking at him with his entire body. Yoshi is actually unable to damage the potted ghost directly, instead he must push him off the edge. Yoshi may also lob eggs at Roger, briefly stunning him. Although Roger has two Shy Guy’s who try to push him back, they still aren’t as powerful and are pushed off along with Roger. Roger-esque ghosts appear in Naval Piranha's castle to block off pipes and passages, but lack the flame ability, and instead shoot Shy Guy's at Yoshi.
Several members of Roger's species also appear in Yoshi's Island DS in Bessie Bass's ship.
[edit] Prince Froggy
Prince Froggy is the mini-boss of World 3. Unlike all of the other bosses, who are enlarged by Kamek's magic, there is a twist in this boss battle: instead of the enemy being made bigger, Yoshi is instead made smaller and Prince Froggy mistakes Yoshi for his lunch, and swallows him. While in the frog’s stomach, digestive acids and Shy Guys that Froggy eats fall down, which can be turned into eggs. Yoshi can then throw the eggs at Froggy's uvula, causing indigestion thus expelling Yoshi and Mario from his body. Prince Froggy is also different from other bosses due to the fact that after his defeated, he does not explode or disappear. He merely regurgitates Yoshi, who is none the worse for wear.
[edit] Naval Piranha
Naval Piranha is the final boss of world three, he starts out as an ordinary piranha plant, who was trapped inside the castle, he had heard from his friends that Yoshis tasted delicous and from there on had always wanted to eat one, Kamek learns of Naval and plots. He strikes a deal with Naval, he'll get rid of Yoshi and Kamek gets the Baby on his back, Naval agrees knowing well that this his chance to eat a Yoshi, he has Kamek supersize her and plans on eating Yoshi for lunch. Naval piranha is giant headed and thorny version of the piranha plant species and looks like a piranha plant with a bandage on the stalk, a gigantic stalk and buds attached to his stalk. The name "naval" is a pun on the word naval, indicating that she lives in water, and "navel", referring to her one weak spot: her bellybutton. Naval has three attacks, the first of which is a ramming attack. For the second attack, Naval shoots nipper spores out of his mouth which become nippers if they touch the ground. For Naval's last attack, he sends his vines to attack Yoshi. Although his attacks look devestating, they were only meant to knock Baby Mario off Yoshi's back, then Kamek's Toadies could steal Baby Mario while he ate poor Yoshi for lunch.
Alternately, if Yoshi wishes, Yoshi can defeat Naval before the battle even begins if Yoshi stands of the very first white circle of the platform above the water which prevents the battle sequence from beginning. With a properly aimed egg and the right distance, Yoshi can destroy the Piranha Plant before Kamek arrives to transform it. Naval is also the second species of Piranha plant that does not just try to eat Yoshi (Ptooie Piranha being the other). She also appears in Tetris Attack as the second of the last four bosses, she intended on eating Yoshi for supper in that game (she wanted to eat the one who removed the spell, that being Yoshi whom she has tried to make a meal of before and failed). Tetris Attack also confirmed Naval Piranha's gender as female. Naval Piranha also made a small appearance in Mario Party Advanced as a boss. In the games closing credits it says she now lives and thrives in the desert
Naval Piranha is not to be confused with the Lava Piranha boss from Paper Mario, despite the two looking almost identical, the difference is that Naval lives in water while Lava Piranha lives in Lava.
[edit] Marching Milde
Marching Milde is an enlarged version of the identical smaller version of herself, and is the mini-boss of world four. Kamek says she will "pound you to bits" while you actually have to do that yourself. Marching Milde only walks, but is invincible to eggs while giant and must keep being split in two by Yoshi’s ground pounds; when she is small, Yoshi can start eating and egging her. Marching Milde hurts Yoshi by walking into him. Marching Milde's fort is considered the hardest castle in the game due to the fact that Yoshi must collect four keys in four separate rooms to advance to the final battle. However, Milde is easy compared to her castle.
[edit] Hookbill the Koopa
Hookbill is an enlarged version of a red Koopa Troopa, and the final boss of world four . To defeat Hookbill, Yoshi must pelt him with eggs until he falls over, and then pound his belly. This must be done three times to win the battle. Hookbill has several different attacks. First, he will crawl to you on all four legs, causing Yoshi to drop Baby Mario if he touches him. When Yoshi pound his stomach, he will withdraw into his shell and start bouncing around before proceeding to his next attack. After being wounded once, he gets up on two legs and starts running, again causing Yoshi to lose control of Baby Mario if he comes in contact with him. For his final attack, he will jump and attempt to body slam Yoshi. Once Hookbill is defeated, he falls off of the edge. Interestingly, at the beginning of the fight, he will we walking on all four legs like the Koopa Troopas in the games that came before Super Mario Bros..
Hookbill also appears in Tetris Attack as the first of the games four bosses.
The character in Kent C. Koopa from the game Paper Mario has a near perfect resemblance to Hookbill, the only real difference is that Kent C. wears glasses.
[edit] Sluggy the Unshaven
Sluggy is a giant slug that was blown up to massive proportions by Kamek and th mini-boss of world five. Despite his rather intimidating appearance, Sluggy actually cannot harm Yoshi in any way; Yoshi will merely bounce if he hits Sluggy. However, Sluggy will slowly grow in size until he fills the screen and pushes Yoshi off the edge of the platform. Sluggy's one weak spot is his heart, and Yoshi must hit Sluggy's body with a barrage of eggs and then hit the heart itself.
[edit] Raphael the Raven
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Raphael was the final boss of World 5. When you finally arrive in the boss room, he appears as a regular Raven, but with Kamek's magic, he was transformed into Raphael the Raven. He, Baby Mario and Yoshi went to the moon to fight, which is very small. Like the regular Ravens, Raphael the Raven ran around this sphere, and Yoshi had to both avoid him and confront him in order to defeat him. All Raphael the Raven had to do to harm Yoshi is to bump into him, while Yoshi must ground pound a stake down into the moon as Raphael the Raven is directly under it. Doing this causes him to go into a rage, and rush after Yoshi. He could also create sparks that orbited the moon several times by stomping the ground. Three hits takes him down, and he was knocked into the stars. He appears in the port of this game, titled Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3.
[edit] Tap Tap the Red Nose
Tap Tap the Red Nose is the mini boss of world six; he is an enlarged version of the smaller Tap Tap enemy. Tap Tap can not be damaged by Yoshi’s attacks, but can be pushed back by eggs; by destroying the breakable floor, Yoshi can knock Tap Tap into the lava underneath it. Tap Tap later appears in the final boss battle level after being exposed to the lava as turned gold and is invincible, even after being knocked off cliffs and into lava.
