Well, for starters, he can jump just as well as Mario can, and his flutter jump lets him stay in the air for longer periods of time. He can attack from the side by gulping up enemies, and for long-range, he can throw eggs that either bounce around or explode on impact. The game Yoshi's Island is also credited for inventing the Ground Pound, or, as I like to call it, the Hip Drop. And in most games, he's also seemingly invincible - he can take wave after wave of attack and yet he doesn't ever die. Not to mention, he's freaking adorable.
