Yes, I know it's an older game, but hopefully new gamers who have gotten kicks out of Yoshi's Story and have never experienced the original, pay attention. This book is your key to find everything this game has to offer. Instead of general overviews and large, undetailed maps, you'll find hundreds of screen shots depicting the most important parts of each level, along with helpful, witty captions that explain exactly what you need to do and how to do it. You'll have no difficulty finding every red coin, flower, and bonus room, not to mention the most effective and quickest methods of tackling each boss. Also included is a barrel-full of hilarious remarks--just check out some of the enemy character descriptions! All in all, this book will tell you everything you need to know about this game--even its origin and how it fits in with the rest of the Mario series. 'Nuff said.

First of all, this guide tries to be funny too much.
Second of all, you won't get any maps.

That's were the bad stuff ends. This gives a good walk through and points out all areas of interest along with coins and etc to get a score of %100. Though, I'd personally love a map or two, this is worth it if you can get it at a good price.
