Do you find yourself locked in a heated argument over whether Yoshi is a power-up? Are you the type of person that actually gets bent out of shape when somebody tries to suggest that Yoshi is anything less than a popular game character? Will you fight to the death the make your point? Then might I suggest you shut down your twitter account, log off the internet and build a log cabin in the woods, because you have too much time on your hands.

Is Yoshi a video game character? Absolutely. But here's the kicker. He's also a power-up. That's right, Yoshi swings both ways. Yoshi has a personality, a name and even island. But at the same time, he works as a power-up, allowing Mario to fly, toss fireballs and more. He's useful, and acts as a living, breathing power-up.

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody who has been watching these 29 Questionable Power-Up episodes. It wasn't that long ago when we were talking about mushrooms that moved around on their own. Hell, these days the mushroom even has eyes. It's definitely rare to have a living power-up, but not unheard of. So next time you decide to get into an internet fight over Yoshi, just remember that nobody cares and you have better things to do.
