These Yoshis could give you two extra lives if both were found, which could be a huge help to players during harder levels. If fans didn't know where to look, though, then they likely never came across either of these unique creatures. There are actually several chances to get these extra Yoshi's within the game.

8 One at a Time

The first thing to note before taking on the great Yoshi quest is that you can only have one black and white Yoshi at a time. No matter how many playthroughs you do, the game will only allow you to collect one of each color. There is no way to cheat this, so even if you follow all of the steps below multiple times, you will never be able to overrun your screen with black and white dinosaurs.

Knowing this ahead of time can save players a lot of time and effort, as it wasn't common knowledge among the Yoshi fandom for quite some time.

A common issue that happens when trying to hunt down the rare Yoshi is having them mixed up for a White Shy Guy. While White Shy Guys can retrieve a dead Yoshi, they aren't playable. White Shy Guy and special Yoshi don't appear on the same levels but do appear in the same chapter.

Be careful of accidentally selecting level 2-1 or 3-3 as the bonus for this world isn't an egg, but an extra life instead.

Once players find Miss Warp number four, the black egg should be right above them.

Once you go in the red pipe, you will see a ? bubble, pop-it, and the White Yoshi egg will fall out for you to pick up.

2 Spicy Lovers

Now that gamers have acquired these Yoshi's, you are going to have a new ability when playing with them that can be quite handy. Normally, when fans consume a spicy fruit, they will end up taking damage, and the item will end up being a fruit that players will need to avoid altogether.

The Yoshi species as a whole seems to dislike this pepper unless they are Black, White, or Purple, as seen in Super Mario Sunshine. When playing as one of the special Yoshi, you will be able to consume spicy fruit without taking any damage.

1 New Game Plus

Fans don't have to worry about losing their special Yoshi after beating the game. While Yoshi Story doesn't exactly have a new game plus, it does let you carry over your special finds for the next playthrough. As long as your Black and White Yoshi survive the game, they should be selectable in the menu screen before each level on your next playthrough.

As mentioned above, you won't be able to collect unlimited special Yoshi's as only one of each color can be on your team at a time.
