Baby Fat, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Baby Fat[1][2] is a pudgy Baby Yoshi in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars who appears as an inhabitant of Yo'ster Isle that hatches after Mario defeats Bundt in Marrymore. Being a baby, his voice is higher than the older Yoshis. If Mario has Yoshi Cookies, he can feed Baby Fat with them. After Mario feeds him 30 Yoshi Cookies in total, he will become fat and exit the nest which is hinted at by another Yoshi. His voice becomes deeper, but not as deep as Boshi's voice. By continuing to feed him more cookies at the same time, he may give Mario various items by hatching them out from eggs. Baby Fat's appearance is similar to that of the Fat Chocobo from Square's own Final Fantasy franchise.

History

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Yo'ster Isle

Baby Fat first appears as a Yoshi Egg in a nest in-between two Yoshi Houses. After defeating Bundt, he hatches as a small Baby Yoshi. If the player interacts with Baby Fat, Yoshi will ask Mario if he wants to give some cookies to him. If Mario chooses Yes, he will be asked how many cookies he wishes to give him. A Yoshi on the island hints that if Mario feeds the Baby Yoshi enough cookies, he'll become too fat and have to leave the nest. This will happen after Mario has given him 30 Yoshi Cookies. After leaving the nest, Mario can continue to feed him cookies for a chance at an item. If fed an insufficient quantity of cookies, Baby Fat will complain that Mario hasn't fed them very many. If fed 10-20 cookies, Baby Fat will lay an egg containing an item inside. The items that can hatch from the eggs laid by the Baby Yoshi are Bracers, Energizers, Yoshi-Ades, Yoshi Candies, Frog Coins, and Red Essences. Baby Fat will also give out Frog Coins as a reward any time the number of cookies Mario has fed him reaches a multiple of 50. Any quantity of cookies fed to him above 20 will not give a better chance at an item or guarantee drops of items other than those listed previously except if Mario feeds Baby Fat 50 cookies at once, in which case, Baby Fat will lay an egg that will hatch as a Frog Coin.

Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)

Baby Fat reappears in the Switch remake of Super Mario RPG, retaining the role they had in the original.
