IT’S YOSHI TIME! Super Nintendo World is ready to celebrate the iconic character who has largely been missing since the land opened in 2023 and at Universal Fan Fest Nights 2025 we had the chance to check out Super Nintendo World: Let’s Go, Yoshi and get a proper introduction to the dino-mite icon.
With hosted tickets, we were given access to the park to uncover all the fun for ourselves. Here’s a look at everything you need to know about Super Nintendo World: Let’s Go, Yoshi for Universal Fan Fest Nights 2025 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Meet Yoshi
Located in Super Nintendo World on the Lower Lot, fan-favorite Yoshi makes his Universal Studios Hollywood debut as a brand new meet and greet character along with some colorful friends.
What To Know
If you’re facing Princess Peach’s Castle from inside the land, Yoshi will meet and greet to the left of the castle in the space where you can typically find Toad. Typical appearance times are 7 PM, 7:30 PM, 8 PM, 8:30 PM, 9 PM, 10 PM, 10:30 PM, 11 PM, 11:30 PM but always check the app on the day of your visit as later appearance times may not be on the schedule. If you want to meet you Yoshi, you should plan to arrive approximately 15 minutes before the start of each scheduled appearance.
IMPORTANT: Super Nintendo World closes at 12am and Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge closes at 10:15pm.
Yoshi Egg Hunt
Yoshi isn’t the only dino creature that’s made into Super Nintendo World but his colorful friends are a little trickier to find. A pink Yoshi and a blue Yoshi are also on the loose but in order to be granted audience, you’ll have to complete the Yoshi Egg Hunt.
What To Know
If you’re facing Princess Peach’s Castle from inside the land, head to the right of the castle to find Team Members handing out Yoshi paper crowns. The crown features space for 5 different Yoshi egg stickers. Each spot on the crown gives a hint for where you can find each differently-colored Yoshi egg. Once you find an egg, look for a nearby Team Member who will add the appropriately colored sticker to your crown.
Collect all five stickers and head up to the Frosted Glacier level of the land where you’ll be able to get your golden Yoshi sticker to complete the crown and gain access to meet one of the colored Yoshis. While there’s no posted appearance times for the colored Yoshis, it’s safe to assume the colored Yoshis stick to a similar schedule as the green Yoshi. IMPORTANT: This meet and greet is quite popular and waits on opening weekend stretched up to over an hour.

Expand / Collapse Hints and Answers
It’s not very difficult to find the eggs. You’ll find Team Members holding stickers in close proximity to where each of the eggs are located. Below are the hints and answers on where to find each of the five total Yoshi egg that hidden in Super Nintendo World.
- High above Peach’s reach (Pink egg) – Look near the Piranha Plant over Peach’s Gazebo
- Hidden from light’s sight (Yellow egg) – Head into the cave near Peach’s Castle
- Placed high and dry (Red egg) – Look up at the desert section above the 1-UP Factory store
- Where two bros pose (Green egg) – Head behind the dedicated area for the Mario and Luigi meet and greet
- Upstairs in the cold air (Blue egg) – Grab this sticker last because it’s also in the location where you will be able to get in line for the colored Yoshi
Dining
Chef Toad has been hard at work to craft new fare for the Toadstool Cafe celebrating the iconic Yoshi character. Highlights include creamy pesto alfredo fettuccini with grilled chicken, broccoli and mushrooms, and a fruity apple-melon smoothie topped with whipped cream, melon syrup, and a mint sprig.
