"I first caught wind of what is slowly becoming colloquially known as the "Classon Ave Yoshi" on December 4 after a TikTok video from user @jeremypinson321 came across my For You Page . The earliest mention I can find of this poor, battered baby dinosaur was on November 14, when New Yorkers first found him lying in the middle of the tracks at the Classon Avenue G train station, which is on the west side of Bedford-Stuyvesant, a neighborhood in Brooklyn."
"I didn't anticipate it being as large as it was, but make no mistake, this is a giant plush. I wasn't about to walk on the train tracks and get either arrested or killed by an incoming train or the electrified tracks to find out his actual size, but this Yoshi is probably at least two feet tall, and seems to have an official Super Mario -branded tag on its hand."
A large Yoshi plush has been lying on the Classon Avenue G train tracks in Bedford-Stuyvesant since at least November 14. A TikTok video surfaced on December 4 that brought wider attention to the battered toy. Someone later moved the plush from the center of the tracks and propped it against a pillar. Observers describe the toy as roughly two feet tall with a Super Mario-branded tag. The presence of the plush has prompted speculation about how it got there, with theories ranging from an accidental loss to a deliberate prank.
