In terms of direct impact, I'd say Birdo yes and Shy Guy no. Birdo was pretty obviously made recurring to suplement Yoshi, but if SMW2YI didn't exist, they probably would've done another character solo role that would've reintroduced Shy Guy (Luigi, Peach, Bowser, a Koopaling, e.t.c.). Magikoopas would probably be phased out if not for YI, they barely appear aside from Kamek as is.

However, from a butterfly-effect perspective, I'm quite unsure if the Mario franchise would be still be as active as a whole, as opposed to becoming a nostalgia brand like say, Pac-Man is, if not for Yoshi.

They're everywhere NOW, fogbadge, but between mario 2 and yoshi's Island I don't think they appeared in much.
