See the Mother Brain used to be the overlord of all the Yoshi and kept the hive-mind structure going for the society. However, when Samus destroyed Mother Brain in Super Metroid this hive-mind Link was destroyed.
Thus Boshi came to be and was the first and only Yoshi to strive to be unique.
No, no, no. Space-Pirate female Link was around at this time. Shoe was worshiped by the previous Space Pirates, the ones who followed Mother Brain until Samus, and eventually, she died from poisoning from her Master Sword's nuclear reactor. However, the sword managed to make a back-up of her consciousness, and the Space Pirates realized this. The sought for several years to learn a way to bring Link back, for she was the best pilot and most daring marauder they had ever known. Eventually, they found the Super Mario World, and, consequentially, Yoshi's Island. They met an ancient, dying tree, the Deku-fruit tree, that told them what they longed to hear: That Space-Pirate Female Link could upload her consciousness into the seed of this very tree. The Space Pirates immediately injected the sword into the seed, and at that very moment, the Happy Tree was born. The tree, which contains characteristics of the Deku-fruit tree and Space-Pirate Female Link, was able to assert its telekinetic powers to fundamentally alter the genetic code of all Space-Pirates. All but one became Yoshi, forever stuck in a mutual, but parasitic link with the tree. The one Space Pirate that resisted became Baby Bowser, a retarded freak of nature that reproduces asexually, but believes he needs a human female to mate, as his restructuring glitched, and Space-Pirate Female Link forever imprinted herself onto his soul. Princess Peach is Link's next incarnation, which does not aide this infatuation.
Thus, Bowser forever stalks the Happy Tree, as well as Princess Peach, and by association the Mushroom Kingdom. I hope that clears things up about Yoshi, Metroid, and Bowser. It all seems to click so well, so you know it has to be true.
