Tezuka explains that the popular dinosaur came about because Miyamoto seemed to want Mario to ride a horse.

“When we were making [Super Mario Bros. 3], he drew a picture of Mario riding a horse and had put it up on wall next to where he sits. When I saw that, I thought, ‘I guess he wants Mario to ride something.’ So, when we were making Super Mario World, we had this ‘dinosaur land’ concept, and I had Hino draw reptile type art,” Tezuka said.

Hino originally produced a much more reptilian design that didn't really fit in the Mario world, so Tezuka and Hino worked together to create a cuter character which became Yoshi.

Unfortunately, this new more adorable design didn't save Yoshi from being punched in the head.
