Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Review

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.

Yoshi Review

This is a pretty good game, much like Tetris. There is an original concept though, because little monsters drop down like blocks. They drop down, you do not turn them, instead Yoshi is at the bottom of the screen holding up four plates (to collect the monsters), and you move him around, and pivot these plates to collect the monsters. Its not that simple though, the only way to kill these monsters is to capture them into egg halves that drop down. First get a lower half of an egg, drop a few monsters onto the half egg, then drop the top half of the egg. Then the eggs, squeeze together killing the enemies! Like a verticle Tetris!

Yoshi's Cookie Review

I enjoy puzzle games a lot (Tetris, Dr. Mario, Bejeweled, etc) and due to the nature of this game, I cannot help but like it. If you prefer sidescrolling/platform games, this game might not be for you, but if you find puzzles enjoyable, than this is for you. The rules and control of the cookies/tiles are deceptively simple, but the game is more complex and enjoyable than it looks.

Enjoy!

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Review

(...) Instead of Mario and Luigi being the stars this time around, a group of Yoshis are the main characters.Baby Luigi has been kidnapped by the all-mighty Bowser, so it's up to Baby Mario and Yoshi to try and rescue Baby Luigi.That's right, Mario and Luigi are babies in Yoshi's Island.And there's not a princess to rescue for once.
Yoshi's Island includes 6 huge worlds that are loaded with many unique and interesting levels.There are 10 levels in each world.Each world has a mini-boss and a major boss that you must track down and defeat. (...)All you really have to do is get to the end of each of level and defeat all the bosses in order to beat the game.
On top of all of the fun gameplay, you can also add great graphics, sound, control, and replay value to Yoshi's Island's list.Just about every environment in Yoshi's Island is a treasure to look at.All the characters are well designed, and the backgrounds can range from crystal caves that flash, 3D-looking mountains, to eye-popping waterfalls made of water or lava.As for sound, most of the sound effects are cartoonish, but well done.Many of the music tunes are catchy, and none of them are bad.Control wise, Yoshi's Island is very easy to control.The controls aren't sluggish or overly responsive; it's easy to do anything in this game.
Finally, the replay value and fun factor are top notch for Yoshi's Island.The six years I've owned Yoshi's Island, I've started from the beginning, went all the way through the six worlds' levels, and beat the game several times, and I still haven't got tired of playing it.And I don't think I ever will!This game is THAT fun.
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is, in my opinion, one of the best video games that have ever been made.Even though it's so much different from all the other Mario games that have ever been made, it is still a GREAT game.To make it short, this game is a classic!If you have a Super Nintendo and you like action/adventure games or Super Mario World, you've got to add Yoshi's Island to your collection!
