Donald Gloverand hisThe Super Mario Galaxy Moviecostars are answering an important question: doesYoshihave two eyes or one eye?
Glover, who voices Yoshi in the new movie, and his costarsChris PrattandCharlie Dayappeared on the video game-themed podcastGet Playedon Wednesday, April 1, where they discussed the sequel to 2023’sThe Super Mario Bros. Movieand dove into the green dinosaur's biology at comedian and co-host Heather Anne Campbell's behest. "This is one of the great character design questions of all time," Glover, 42, responded. "Are these eyeballs touching or are they one big [eyeball]? I think they're touching. I think it's like a butt, you know?"
"It's kind of gross, but I think it just works that way. I don't know," he added.
"It has to be two eyes," Pratt, who voices the movie's lead character Mario, said. "It has to be. I think just evolutionarily, anything with just one eye would be eaten. You have to have two eyes."
Campbell, 47, responded to Pratt, 46, and Glover's answers with another query. "Do you think the shell on his back is his saddle or is it part of his body?" she asked. "Is the shell the dinosaur part, or is that what somebody rides on?"
"Does he poop, and if it does, does it come in an egg, or..." Glover additionally wondered, while Pratt asked aloud whether "the shell is just something that's put on Yoshi?"

"'Cause he's a dinosaur, right? They don't have turtle shells typically, but maybe — " Glover said, though Day (who voices Luigi) noted, "We don't know for a fact that [dinosaurs] didn't have shells."
"They dropped feathers on us way late in the game," Day, 50, added. "Too many featherless movies to all of a sudden say the T-rex is covered in feathers."
"I love how everybody was like 'Nah, we sticking with these featherless ones,' " Glover joked.
