Yoshi is only intended to walk on the flat part of the castle roof. However, under some circumstances it is possible for Yoshi to accidentally walk onto the slanted part of the castle, which messes up his movement and causes him to walk off the edge of the castle. | Yoshi is only intended to walk on the flat part of the castle roof. However, under some circumstances it is possible for Yoshi to accidentally walk onto the slanted part of the castle, which messes up his movement and causes him to walk off the edge of the castle. The programmers seemed to anticipate this, so they made Yoshi despawn the moment he falls off the roof and create a special "Yoshi Respawner" to respawn him if you go back to where he normally is. If you talk to Yoshi while he is starting to fall, then he will fall off the castle without unloading and try to walk to a specific location to jump and finish his cutscene. But he can never reach this location since he has fallen off, resulting in a softlock as Yoshi walks endlessly<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UDDdbXaGx0</ref>. | ||
The first known mention of Yoshi falling off the castle was in a 2003 SM64 FAQ written by king kid, and the first video of the softlock was a 2007 video by Myles Bukrim. | The first known mention of Yoshi falling off the castle was in a 2003 SM64 FAQ written by king kid, and the first video of the softlock was a 2007 video by Myles Bukrim. | ||
