Yoshi takes baby Mario on an adventure. You have to make eggs hit clouds to restore your health if Mario falls off from hitting a bad guy. Your objective is to collect 5/5 flowers, 30/30 stars, and 20/20 red coins in each board to receive a 100% score.
I cannot tell you how many worlds there are total but I know there are 10 levels per world and I believe there has to be over 6-8 worlds total so a total of 60-80 boards/levels to play and perfect. Each board is replayable so you can play it over and over until you receive all the coins, flowers, and stars.
Like most Mario games, these games are challenging whether its the first time you play it or the 300th time you played it. That is what I love about these games. It doesn't matter how long you have it, it's still challenging to play no matter when you go back to it.
Gameplay takes a long time. I would say the first level, first board took me 3-4 minutes to complete and that was the easiest one. I played for about 45 minutes and only got to level 1-5. I'm not the best gamer in the world, but this wasn't my first rodeo either so that tells you how long it takes to complete the game.
I would recommend this game for children over 8. My seven year old could play it but didn't have the patience to read all the little tip boxes to find out what to do. Then again, he plays COD and Minecraft no problem. This just wasn't of any interest to him. My 12-year-old played it with no issue.
This was all about nostalgia to me. I bought it because I owned the Super Nintendo version and this did not disappoint! If you're a Mario lover because you love the challenge no matter how many times you play it, check this game out too! It's slightly different gameplay will give you something new and exciting.
No, here you just lose your baby for a few seconds, and if you don't capture him/her soon enough, it's curtains!
Nintendo has added lots of creativity to this new effort, including new monsters, new bosses, and new skill sets to get from one level to the next. I see lots of reviews saying its more of the same. I guess so. But isn't that the story with most sequels? Even movies! So, why not bring back the most fun and exciting parts of the game that we all remember was so much fun. And don't we have a totally new "audience" of gamers. Gamers start young, my son is only 5. While he did play the original (when he was around 3) on the GBA SP (well original if you were born 10+ years after the life of the SNES), there are probably literally 1000's of new fresh gamers this game will appeal to.
As Yoshi's Island is my absolute favorite game of all time, I was a "no-brainer" as a potential customer of this one. Well, it was a "no-brainer." I happen to have some brains, as I love this game!
I would recommend any DS owner, or gift giver to pick this one up. I can't quite give it 5 stars (some of the gameplay and control are just a tad too frustrating) but the fun factor is way up there at 5 stars.
Great Game! Let's see more of this!
MC White said: Great Game!
The game's third party developer (Artoon) tries to recapture Nintendo's magic touch but largely fails. The levels are huge but unfocused. The level of difficulty is unfairly high towards the end of the game not due to ingenious design but rather because of unfair item and platform placement. The music is a real disappointment, consisting of multiple variations on the same bland theme. The "innovation" of having multiple playable babies is more of a chore than anything.
This is certainly not a terrible platformer - but its also obviously not a true Nintendo product. I suggest that anyone in search of a real Nintendo platform check out New Super Mario Brothers or even the original Yoshi's Island, which plays great on the DS. Let's also hope that one day Nintendo internally develops a true sequel to Yoshi's Island.
It apperas the same but it isn't. The level layout is different and the difficulty is hard when you try to obtain a 100 score.
Also I find the art different, not bad but different. One complain is that the openin cinema was very simple compared to the original, sometime that is strange due to the capabilities of the DS (Final Fantasy III and Lunar Knigths, for a few examples)
I can recomend this to anyone looking for a good plataform game. It's easy to learn but tough wen you want to ve a completist

Musste es zurückschicken.
Da gibt es leider nicht viel mehr zu sagen. Ergerlich das man dann die Rücksendung noch bezahlen muss!
Nonostante questo gioco abbia molte innovazioni rispetto al precedente, prima tra tutte il fatto di poter cambiare il bambino portato (con relativo cambio di abilità), non mi ha preso come il titolo storico ma è comunque un MUST
