Playable Yoshi and Baby Team

So I completed my goal of having a playable Wario and Waluigi concurrent with Mario and Luigi. Which is a nice little team. Two Mario Bros, two Wario Bros. However, SMBX has this awkward fifth character named link who isn't quite the same as the others. So what is to be done about that? Well, there's only one person who is entirely unique from the brothers, while still closely related.

Thus, I chose Yoshi as the final member of the quintet. However, he's far from alone. Taking elements from his home series, Yoshi takes care of six infants, each of whom grants him a special ability. Link's sword becomes Yoshi's lick move, but other than that, Yoshi is unaffected by each change. Here's a summary of the team:
  • Baby Mario (Heart Container): The red tot is Yoshi's most frequent ally, and doesn't give him any additional ability besides being able to withstand an extra hit.
  • Baby Luigi (Fire Flower): The younger version of green stache rides Yoshi as well, but he changes things up. Yoshi himself doesn't gain the ability to breath fire. Rather, he ducks out of the way while the baby on his back throws the fireball.
  • Baby Wario (Ice Flower): Like his cousin(?!???) in green, Baby Wario has Yoshi duck out of the way so a projectile can be thrown. He throws ice, however, rather than fire.
  • Baby Wauigi (Hammer Suit): The last and most ambiguous male baby is also a projectile wielder, but he throws dangerous blue shells (which, hint, you can jump on for a short boost if you are really quick). Why? Because Google Image search Baby Waluigi and look for inspiration.
  • Baby Peach (Super Leaf): The royal princess carries her magical parasol with Yoshi, allowing them to briefly transform into it while in the air.
  • Baby Daisy (Tanooki Suit): Toadstool's best friend is also along for the ride, and borrows the same magic parasol. Daisy however, through no explanation, can also turn herself and Yoshi into a statue. Go figure.
Here's an image of each form (SMB3 style, since I forgot to mention it), along with the power-up that lets you collect it. Also pictured are the fairy form and hammer projectile.

This is meant to complete the set of SMB3 new playables, so I hope someone finds a good use for it. Also, somewhat felt a desperate need to fulfill my pipe dream of YATQTT lol, at least by proving the characters would've been decent.

And since people get all up in arms about playable Yoshi, here's questions and their answers, to save time:
Spoiler: show
  • Why does Yoshi stab people with his tongue? Because he could do it in the Subspace Emissary, and that's good enough for me.
  • Why does Yoshi have a full mouth after he stabs? Idk, he sucked in a lot of air.
  • Why does Yoshi have a full mouth after Luigi/Waluigi/Wario throws something? Because he's in pain due to the heavy tyke on his back (but also for consistency)
  • What happens to the baby when Yoshi gets hit? It jumps off, idk.
  • Are the hitboxes perfect/LunaLua'ed? No. It's a workaround, if you freak out because something hit you two pixels away, grow up.

Enjoy!

Also, you forgot the sword beam projectile; it's still a sword beam.

The blue shell replaces it. I checked in the folder, it's in there.

That's original and actually needed for Yoshi's island episodes designers))
