Mario Fans Are Scared Elephant Mario Is Crushing Yoshi
In the new Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct, we got a glimpse at a whole bunch of elephant-ified characters. Daisy, Peach, Luigi, and even Toad are putting on their trunks and crushing everything in their path. Then there's Yoshi.
Poor, poor Yoshi. We didn't see an elephant version of our favourite green friend, but we did see Elephant Mario jump on their back and proceed to crush it under his weight like Bane cracking Batman's spine over his knee.

"If Mario's Final Smash in the next Smash Bros. game isn't turning into an elephant and shattering his opponent's spine like Yoshi#s here, then Sakurai has completely failed as a game director," @IntroSpecktive tweeted.
"The Yoshi's should unionise," @PlaystationBrah said. "Bossy bottoms and sub tops... The eternal struggle as depicted here in Super Mario Bros. Wonder," @ShinobiPhoenix said.

It's not the first time a 2D Mario game has tortured Yoshi for the Italian plumber's gain. World had several jumps over deep, bottomless chasms where you could drop Yoshi to reach higher heights, sending your green friend to death just to complete a level.

Granted, this time, Yoshi isn't being hurled into an abyss (as far as we know) just to make jumps easier, but he is suffering under the weight of a literal elephant three times his size. It ain't easy being Yoshi.
