n most of his appearances, he is shown to be lazy, idiotic, violent, selfish, immature, demanding, greedy, whiny, racist, sexist, cruel, relentless and nonsensical beyond belief, in addition to being a racist stereotype for African Americans. He is so deluded and unintelligent that he often makes nonsensical statements, and even when people correct him or when he faces the consequences of his actions, he still follows with what he believes, no matter how untrue they may be. He also has a tendency to lie and steal a lot and has no qualms committing crimes and doing other horrible things that either rebel against society or affect others. He is a psychopath beyond belief, and he even goes as far as to stab Mario in the back. He never seems to learn his lesson after something bad happened to him. He has no capacity for empathy, and when someone refuses to buy him something, he will commit any stupid and heinous act beyond belief, such as scamming people for fake payments or faking a disease for sympathy and money, which usually results in serious consequences for other people. He is known for constantly demanding people money (usually Mario), and even when said no, he will keep begging relentlessly. He even tries to sell certain stuff for ridiculously high prices. Black Yoshi is also a total hypocrite because whenever someone brings up the past, he goes on to say: "Why your white people always bringing up the past", later after he says this, he makes up stories about his so-called "ancestors" and the underground "choo choo" train.
