Prior to the launch of Mario Tennis Open, Nintendo is running a Yoshi hunt in the UK. This event, named The Yoshi Chase, is all about tracking down various Yoshis by finding QR codes that will be released “over the coming weeks through various channels.”
It starts off with a black Yoshi that will be distributed at 30 Asda stores the 25th and 26th from 9:30am to 5:30pm. White, Blue, and Red Yoshis will be released afterwards but Nintendo UK is unclear as to how.
This is a cool idea but it also sounds like a lot of work for something that amounts to just different colored playable Yoshis.
Check out the full press release for details on the game and specific locations where you can get the black Yoshi. Mario Tennis Open releases on the 25th in the UK and the 20th in the US
Gotta catch ‘em all, Yoshimon?!

Track down the playable Yoshis by finding the Mario Tennis Open QR codes
18th May - In an exciting Nintendo 3DS exclusive, a massive Yoshi hunt will soon become available ahead of the upcoming Mario Tennis Open launch on 25th May. The hunt, entitled The Yoshi Chase, will involve tracking down a series of different-coloured Yoshis, playable in Mario Tennis Open, through corresponding QR codes released over the coming weeks through various channels. The Black Yoshi will be the first to be released but there are many more in the pipeline so keep your eyes peeled.
Each Yoshi QR code will be released in a variety of different ways and at different times, so you will have to stay alert to find them – the Black Yoshi will be distributed first exclusively through 30 Asda stores on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th May, between the hours of 9.30AM and 5.30PM. White, Blue and Red Yoshi will follow at a later date. These characters can only be activated with the QR code held by in-store sampling teams, so be sure to come down with your Nintendo 3DS so you don’t miss out.
Mario Tennis Open is packed full of Mario-themed arcade tennis action. Choose from singles or doubles matches, single player and multiplayer modes and a variety of special games such as Super Mario Tennis, Ring Shot and Galaxy Rally. With easy to pick up and play gameplay and a range of modes to suite your mood, you will be serving up a storm before you know it.
As well as the ability to customize your character with new rackets, clothing and trainers, there is also a choice of 11 different court surfaces which affect the angle, speed and bounce of the ball, with each one set in a familiar location from the Mario series. In addition, you can easily select from a range of classic tennis shots such as Topspin, Slice or Drop Shot to take down your opponent via the Touch Screen on your Nintendo 3DS.
Mario Tennis Open also makes full use of the online capabilities of Nintendo 3DS by allowing you to play against random opponents and friends on the Nintendo Network as well as playing over local wireless connections. Depending on your performance in Open Matches played over the Nintendo Network, you could get added to the leaderboard and see yourself rise to the top. Online matches will see you paired against opponents with similar strengths and weaknesses to you; defeat them to rise up the rankings!
Black Yoshi will be available at the following Asda stores: Minworth Supercentre, Tamworth Supercentre, Patchway Supercentre, Cardiff Supercentre, Queensferry Supercentre, Ellesmere Port Supercentre, Coventry Supercentre, Derby Supercentre, Hessle Great Bridge Supercentre, Govan
Livingston Supercentre (SOL), Huyton Supercentre, Pudsey Supercentre, Eastlands Supercentre, Trafford Park Supercentre, Gravesend, Milton Keynes Supercentre, Gateshead, West Bridgford, Havant Supercentre (SOL), Dagenham, Cortonwood Living, Haydon Supercentre (SOL), Eastleigh Supercentre, Eastgate Supercentre, Lower Earley, Watford Supercentre, Wigan Supercentre, Leicester Fosse Park.

Thumbs up
2003 yamaha r6,19k miles,silver/black,yoshi pipe,runs great,minor scratches,how much can i get for it if its in good condition.i want to try to get atleast $4500
Is it true you can get a purple yoshi I’ve got all the normal colours plus the black and white yoshi but I’ve heard you can get more colours like purple! And at the end of the game ( once you have beat the really easy bowser jr) the story appears and it goes on about how the yoshi’s lived happily ever after ect then it has a picture of the Yoshi’s standing together BUT there is a gap!!!! It looks like u can fit in another 2! So are there more colours and if so how do I get them?? Thanks
So far I’ve found the Scorpion silencer looks best as it blends with the black colour.
Most people have recommended Yoshi R55; Not a lot of cans on the market to fit my K8 bike.
Any advice?
Thanks.
How long is nintendo wifi supposed to take to fully load? My little brother is trying to log on to the Pokemon Battle Tower wifi and it has taken a long time and it still has not fully connected. We have already set up the Wifi System (typing in all of our information to the DS) and the system says it is in range of our wireless internet.
If it helps, my brother has Pokemon Diamond and hes playing on a Nintendo DS.
I got Black Yoshi and as soon as i got White Yoshi on the Saturday i had to rush off to a holiday with my family. We stayed in a cottage with no WiFi and i couldn’t find any WiFi hotspots anywhere on the holiday. I came back last Sunday. I have no knowing about the Yoshi chase and i have browsed the internet about it and so far i think i am up to date. Am i with only Black and White Yoshi?
Don’t tell me to wait until it all gets put on the internet because that takes the fun out of it.

I have an R4 game card and i want to connect my Nintendo 3ds via the usb cable so that i can transfer the games from my comp to the 3ds. How do you do it? Thanks!
Im being OCD but i just bought a 3ds and put my finger under the plastic of the star, home select button thinking it was covered but a plastic packaging sheet.
Was i scratching and something i shouldnt have or should it come off?
Just curious because I was planning on getting a 3DS. Also, can you trade Pokemon from Black to White using a regular DS and a 3DS?
Since i like creating the models in autodesk 3ds max, i would like to know how can i export the model onto autodesk maya because i also like that software when creating enviornments and more.
Hi, Im new to the world of the r4 cards and I search the web and i saw thusends of cards! I want to know what are the best r4 cards(with good price, no need to save in the middle of the game) and will it work with most recent 3ds update.
Thanx for your help!
According to Nintendo the new 3DS update featuring the long-awaited browser and eshop was released today. I, however, am having trouble updating. Whenever I try to update it says my 3DS is already up to date, and the settings just closes. I was wondering if any of you have had any success?
Thanks Deepmike! It’s working now. I checked online and it said 10pm where I lived and it just turned 10. Lol I thought it would’ve worked anytime after noon since on the notifications they only said “June 6 evening”. Thanks anyways!

I need to create a texture map for a model i created in 3ds max8.
I want to get a ds for x-mas and i wasn’t sure if the 3DS has the same features as the 3DS .. or if the 3ds has 3d at the cost of losing some features ?
