Yoshi actually has a personality in Mario RPG. He like cookies, hates Boshi, and has fun racing.

Sorry to be pedantic or whatever but those are thirds, no halves. Then again I’m not actually familiar with that character so maybe having 3 halves is a thing.

Either way fuck you Yoshi is more than just a ride. Motherfucker has their own whip in kart, even has a personal island.
