He actually gets hurt by them, just like falling off the screen, whereas getting hit by anything else merely knocks the baby from his back?
When Yoshi gets hit by an enemy while carrying Mario in Super Mario World, the plumber merely falls off his back. Maybe it's a Continuity Nod.
What exactly do these "stars" do in Yoshi's Island DS? I mean as in the star children; the reason Bowser goes back in time. What do they do? Does it give them some kind of power or something. It was rather ambiguous.
It... gives them top billing in the series, including spinoffs? Maybe it's more than that, but I wouldn't know. Still, I'm fond of the theory that the seventh star child, a green Yoshi, was granted the ability to speak properly. Thus he's the fluent Yoshi seen in a number of earlier games, most notably Super Mario RPG, where he serves as a translator.
(Original Poster) I believe that the green Yoshi who is the seventh star child is THE Yoshi, and it makes sense (they wouldn't just make it a random Yoshi). But is it officially him?
Well, Bowser stated that the power the stars would give him would enable him to take over the universe, so I guess that's the answer...
