Many of you are familiar with the first ever Mario game on Nintendo and Super Mario World on Super Nintendo. For those of you who have never played Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, you definitely should. Nintendo changed this game a lot form the previous version, but didn't ruin the amount of fun it provides.

In Yoshi's Island you are Yoshi and you go through the levels with Baby Mario sitting on your back. If you get hit by an enemy then you lose Baby Mario and he starts to cry, but you have 10 seconds to get him back. If the timer runs down to zero, he is kidnapped and you lose a life. As Yoshi you can "eat" the enemies and they become eggs which you can shoot at other enemies and at bonus clouds that hold coins, stars or flowers. Every red coin that you get that is hidden throughout each stage it worth one point to your score. Each star you collect adds one second to your timer. And each flower gives you 10 points. If you collect all 5 flowers in a stage you get an extra life, similar to collecting the Yoshi coins in the first Super Mario World. You can earn up to 100 points for each level (50 for all the flowers, 30 for all the red coins, and 20 for all the stars). If you get 100 points for each level in the game, you can unlock secret levels that are really awesome!

There are many stages in this game. In all, there are 48 levels in the whole game, only half as many as the original Super Mario World game. After you beat each stage you jump into a hoop and a light starts going around the hoop. If it lands on a flower you get to play a bonus game, if not you just advance to the next stage. It takes a while to get used to this game if you are a veteran Super Mario World player because this game is so much different than it. If you own a Super Nintendo and don't own this game yet, go to your nearest used video game store and buy it, you won't regret it.

This game is so fun and addicting!

Graphics: 10/10: Pure eye candy. Beautiful sprites and backgrounds. Very colorful. Really good for a 1995 game!

Sound effects: 9/10: Great sounds, "[Slurp]" "[Wah]!" "Oh(...)oh(...)" Although Mario's crying gets annoying sometimes...

Music: Catchy, especially boss the final boss music. 10/10


Gameplay: 10/10 kinda like SMW...only you play as Yoshi with baby Mario on his back. You can shoot eggs, eat baddies, shoot seeds, fight bosses, and don't lose Mario. Also, find items in levels to unlock secrets and bonuses. It's very addicting.

Diffulcity: Medium. This game can get tough at times *coughcoughVERYLO(...)NG(...)CAVEcoughcough*

Replay value: 10/10 I've owned this game for many, many years, and I still pop this game in from time to time.

Buy/rent? - Well, you can't rent SNES games anymore, so buy it if possible. If you don't have an SNES or you can't find it, you can now buy Super Mario Advance 3 for GBA. It contains YI.

Conclusion-This is a great game. A little underrated.

PS. Why is Amazon editing my review? Stop editing it! Anything in ( ) means Amazon edited it.

This game has nice egg throwing action with baby mario,yoshi actuallys goes in castles! WAY BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE!!!

O.K. This game is rare. Who cares? It's way better than any common SNES game! Imagine riding a yoshi through 48 levels of action-packed levels. Some of them were next to impossible, while others were as easy as pie. Some levels had big puzzles while others were timing. The only level I hated was Tap-Tap's Fort. The lava chasm was like 1,000,000 miles long! The rest of it was fun. Fighting Baby Bowser was the best part! He looked like the normal bowser, but smaller. The extra chip they put in it sure made a difference! Just cover your ears when Baby Mario starts to cry! No game had more challenge, or replay vaule than this. I mean, once you beat them all once, you can get 100 on all the levels to unlock secret levels! The only games equal to this game were Super Mario RPG and Super Mario All-stars.
Hint: Buy it used, because the orininal owner may have already beaten some of the levels...
MARIO GAMES RULE!! But where's Luigi? He's at... oops, can't tell ya that!

I practically play this every day and i still havent gotten tired yet! nothing can beat this game... this is the best game ive reviewed!

Yoshis Island ruled! When this game first came out I went and baught it! God it braught back some awesome memory...You play as yoshi and have baby mario on your back..I won't tell you the rest of it since you can just read other reviewers.

This game is friken awesome and fun as hell. The game is not a tad bit boring and the game is quiet long, well I can't remember since I played the game about what 8 years ago and I'm trying to find a SNES system for like NOW since my SNES broke down er' just Broke awhile ago but I happend to borrow a friends SNES and this game friken rocks the house man!

The game play is extreamly fun and the characters are great...ESPECCIALLY BABY MARIO! HE RULES!

Over all I would give this SNES Masterpiece 10/10...Or 5/5 in amazons review...

GO OUT AND BUY THIS INCREDIBLE GAME!...Besides Super Metroid.....If you can find it...

Later..

This is very original when compared to previous Mario titles. The gameplay is much different than Super Mario World or any of the NES Mario's. Don't expect anything groundbreaking here, just expect an enjoyable time with Nintendo's boss Dinosaur, Yoshi. No B.S., just a straight up good game. For the young ones and even the old timers. Peace

didn't even know this game existed until recently. it's just as good as the mario world 1, maybe even better. if you like the mario games, check it out.

It arrived quickly and has never missed a beat since we started palying it again. My 5 yr old loves it!

MANY HAVE SAID THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES ON THE SNES. THIS IS VERY TRUE, BUT I MUST SAY THAT "YOSHI'S ISLAND" IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES IN HISTORY. EVEN THOUGH I WILL ADMIT I DIDN'T LIKE THE GAME WHEN I FIRST SAW IT. MY COUSIN USED TO PLAY IT AND BABY MARIO'S CRY REALLY GOT ON MY NERVES. SINCE THEN I PLAYED THE GAME FOR MYSELF, AND IT WAS ALL GOOD. AFTER MASTERING THE CONTROLS (WHICH DOESN'T TAKE LONG) I REALIZED THAT YOU DON'T HEAR BABY MARIO CRYING AS MUCH. SIMPLY BECAUSE IF YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY YOU WON'T LOSE HIM, LOSING HIM MAKES HIM CRY. YOU HAVE UP TO 30 SEC. TO GET HIM BACK OR YOUR GAME IS OVER. NOW I MUST SAY THE GRAPHICS ARE SWEET. I LOVE WHEN YOSHI EATS THE WHITE PUFF BALL THINGS AND THE GRAPHICS START LOOKING ALL TRIPPY. AT ANY RATE THIS GAME IS ONE OF THOSE KEEPERS THAT ALL TRUE GAMERS CHERISH.I GOTTA GO, I'M ABOUT TO FIGHT THAT GIANT TURTLE!
