## Episodes

 One year after the death of Mario, Yoshi and Lindsey Walker go to Princess Peach's castle, where they receive an award for saving the Mushroom Kingdom. Later, Yoshi and Lindsay argue over who should get the house and, after a will reading, Yoshi gets the house and Lindsay gets a sofa. Iggy. a relative of Bowser, begins to hatch a plan to kill everyone related to Mario. That night, Iggy sneaks into the house and attacks Yoshi, demanding for the location of Luigi, the last relative of Mario. A new ally named Orange Yoshi rescues Yoshi and reveals that the Koopa tribe is resurfacing to get revenge on the Mushroom Kingdom. At the same time, Dry Bones is revealed to be alive and working with Iggy.

 Yoshi and Orange Yoshi attempt to get the help of Princess Peach, Toad, Koopa Troopa, and Piranha Plant, who all say no, but Lindsay reluctantly agrees to come along. Flying Bowser's airship, Iggy and Dry Bones set course for the Mushroom Kingdom to get to Mario's phone before Yoshi and his friends can get it and track Luigi. That night, Yoshi and his friends dig up Mario's grave and grab his phone, buy Iggy and Dry Bones arrive and steal it. Yoshi and his friends break into the airship to get it back.

 Yoshi, Orange Yoshi, and Lindsay infiltrate the airship. They split up to cover more ground. Yoshi battles and defeats Dry Bones. Lindsay finds and destroys the server room. Orange Yoshi discovers Iggy's plan to send backup after them. Yoshi suffers visions of Mario as Koopa Troopa and Piranha Plant, under the instructions of Iggy, attack him. Yoshi defeats the two, and as punishment, Iggy throws them off the airship, killing them. Yoshi and his friends steal the phone and make their way out of the airship, discovering Luigi to be in Delfino Plaza.

 In Delfino Plaza, Luigi lives carefree away from his troubles. Yoshi, Lindsay, and Orange Yoshi arrive and ask him to return to the Mushroom Kingdom with them, but he declines due to a dark past with Mario.
Years ago, Mario and Luigi were famous for defeating Koopas and got their own video game series created by Nintendo, but Luigi felt that he was left in Mario's shadow. One night, Luigi tells Mario that he got his own video game (*Luigi's Mansion*), but Mario doesn't believe it. Out of anger, Luigi kicks Mario out of the house.
In the present, Luigi agrees to join them in order to fix his past mistakes. They return to Yoshi's house, but Iggy and Dry Bones arrive and capture Luigi and Orange Yoshi, leaving Yoshi and Lindsay alone to fix it.

 Iggy forcefully asks Luigi to join the Koopa tribe, but Luigi declines. Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Yoshi and Lindsay tell Peach about Luigi's capture, and Peach orders Toad to prepare the castle for war. Orange Yoshi and Luigi escape into the playground from the first season, where Yoshi meets the two. Yoshi and Orange Yoshi escape, but Iggy captures Luigi. Yoshi, Lindsay, and Orange Yoshi prepare cures for a hypnotized but revealed to be living Koopa Troopa and Piranha Plant. Right after, the airship arrives to the Mushroom Kingdom.

 Iggy captures Yoshi, Lindsay, Orange Yoshi, Peach, and Toad, taking them to the airship and setting course for World Bowser. Yoshi escapes his prison cell with Orange Yoshi, while Lindsay saves the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom citizens. Orange Yoshi cures Koopa Troopa and Piranha Plant as Yoshi defeats the doubts inside his head (in the form of Nightmare Mario) and sets off to his final fight. Outside, Yoshi battles and defeats Iggy and gets into a fight with Dry Bones. Yoshi prepares to sacrifice himself (the same way Mario did), but Luigi saves him as Dry Bones falls off the airship. Later, Yoshi is now in the care of Luigi. In World Bowser, Mario is revealed to be alive and held captive in a cage. Dry Bones arrives and reveals the plan he had throughout the season: to resurrect Kamek, the leader of the Magikoopas.

## Reception

The season currently holds an 86% rating on the Like vs. Dislike scale. The Analytics read, "While it may be a bit slow at times, *The Yoshi Show*'s sprawling sophmore season improves on the previous in every way, with funny jokes, tons of heart, and a fun storyline to satisfy fans of the games."
