Premise
Following Bowser's defeat at the hands of Mario and Luigi in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Yoshi, a green dinosaur from Dinosaur Land who hatched in the sewers of Brooklyn, embarks on a journey of self-discovery alongside Bonnie, an orphaned human baby he bonds with and vows to protect, whereas Luigi teams up with Princess Daisy of Sarasaland in protecting Yoshi from hostile, greedy figures seeking to capture him and his kind, such as Professor Veruca, Spike, and Kamek.

Main

 * Andrew Garfield as Yoshi, a curious but good-hearted green dinosaur from Dinosaur Land whose egg hatched in the sewers of Brooklyn following Bowser's defeat at the hands of Mario and Luigi. Raised by a couple of demolition workers until their deaths, he is now on a journey of self-discovery with the couple's daughter Bonnie, whom he vows to protect. Angel voices Yoshi's inner thoughts while archive audio of Kazumi Totaka's lines are used for Yoshi's vocal effects.
 * Selena Gomez as Princess Daisy, the tomboyish, adventurous ruler of Sarasaland who learns of Yoshi's existence, and teams up with Luigi to protect him and his kind from hostile figures hunting them.
 * Charlie Day as Luigi, the younger brother of Mario and a Italian-American plumber from Brooklyn, New York, who has a crush on Daisy and helps her in her goal to protect Yoshi.
 * Jessica DiCicco as:
 * Bonnie, a 2-year-old human toddler from Brooklyn who was orphaned by a horrific accident in Spike's Wrecking Crew demolition company. She becomes Yoshi's best friend and adopted sister.
 * The Toads, the peaceful residents of the Mushroom Kingdom.
 * Pauline, the Mayor of Brooklyn.
 * Imelda Staunton as Professor Veruca, a billionaire, but ambitious scientist who obsesses over proving that dinosaurs still exist in the world, and is hunting Yoshi, whom she plans to use as evidence.
 * Melissa Rauch as Wendy O. Koopa, a female Koopa who is assigned by Kamek to hunt and capture Yoshi, and plans to capture Bonnie as well to raise her as the Koopas' princess, and a future rival for Daisy and Princess Peach.
 * Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike, the selfish and overbearing chief of the Wrecking Crew demolition company. In the film, he is facing financial problems due to allegations thrown against him for the horrific accidents which led to most of his workers getting gravely injured or killed (like Bonnie's parents), and several of his crew members having quit after they reportedly accused Spike of not taking responsibility for the incidents. In order to regain his falling reputation, Spike seeks to exterminate Yoshi, whom he believes to be one of Bowser's minions who invaded Brooklyn.
 * Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek, a Koopa sorcerer who seeks to capture Yoshi and his kind, and force them to help rebuild Bowser's kingdom.
 * Billy Dee Williams as Master Gao, Daisy's mentor and caretaker in Sarasaland, and the leader of the Gaos, fire-breathing lions strongly bearing resemblance to the sphinx.

Supporting/Minor/Cameo

 * TBD

Logo variants

 * Universal Pictures: The globe is shaped after an egg.
 * Illumination: Three Minions hit three ? Blocks, and each earns a different power-up and turns the box into a syllable of the Illumination logo. The first Minion gets a Lucky Bell (becoming a Cat Minion), the second Minion gets a Fire Flower, and the third Minion gets a Tanooki Suit. After all syllables are formed, the Minions shout "Illumination", but the Fire Minion accidentally shoots fire balls and nearly hits the other two by accident, startling them. Angered, the Tanooki Minion and the Cat Minion chase the Fire Minion.
 * Nintendo: Similar to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but with the visuals and soundtrack of Super Mario World, and with Mario and Luigi riding two Yoshies.
