New スーパーマリオブラザーズ Wii
While the game's overall sound effects were designed by Hajime Wakai, the palette of vocal expressions for Yoshi were recorded by Kazumi Totaka, making "Yoshi's Story" the first game to feature a voice for the character. The recorded samples have since been constituting the official voice for Yoshi, making a second appearance in the 1999 game "Super Smash Bros.", to further be recycled in succeeding games that Yoshi appeared in. This trend was eventually interrupted in 2009 with the release of "New Super Mario Bros. Wii", which used the original Yoshi cry from "Super Mario World" in homage to that game.
