I find it difficult to stick with, maybe I need to give it another go on the SNES mini....which doesn't get much usage from me.. certainly though it is the kind of game that showed the SNES still had it when it came to a visual showcase, and wouldn't look out of place at the time on the 32 bit consoles..

It's a bit more complicated and slower than Super Mario World. It's been a while but I remember some levels having a lot of exploration, and lots of them having some unique gimmick to them. It sure is different, but imo still a pretty cool platformer.

Hell I'm still at work but have spent all day thinking about replaying this one today. I blame you OP!

Biggest false advertising scam in gaming history. It wasn't Super Mario World 2. They lied!

I understand why they did that in the west. The SNES was dying and a game named after Yoshi would never have been given a second look by most people.

I own the GBA version of this in Japanese. Worth playing?

 

[CrimsonTide]

It's SMW that was amazing. I HATED that damn MARIO BABY BITCH CRYING NONSENSE

Also did not care for the art direction

Just wait until you play the Nam house bombing minigame cut for obvious reasons.

Super Mario World is many leagues better, yeah. Huge disappointment coming from that.

At least nowadays you can hack the rom file to remove baby Mario, makes the game a bit more fun at least.

People need a romhack for this? It's like the romhack that removes the low heart sound from Zelda. Yeah it's annoying, but you don't HAVE to deal with it. There is another solution to keep it away, than a romhack...keep Link healthy. Your role in Yoshi is as a guardian keeping baby Mario safe, and the crying is an alarm you have screwed up in gameplay and need to fix it fast to avoid failure. The instant you touch Mario again to get him back the crying stops. You have a great deal of control over it so I don't see why it's so bad as if all over unskippable cutscenes lol.

Not super sure how I feel about the game these days. I've played it multiple times bhut nothing recently. I should try again.

The more I think about it. If you didn't play this when it was new, and are just checking out ROMs. It would be easy to dismiss it after playing a few levels, assuming you have a solid read on the whole game. When you have 5 SNES carts and nothing else to play, you have no choice but to play long enough for the game to reveal its depth and range of ideas. In that way it's kind of like SotN, a game I eagerly played anyway just because it was part of a franchise, but began to shock me with how much more it was than I expected.

Lovely game, and a showcase of what the SNES was able to do.

Transparencies, rotations, sprites scaling to hell and back and even a little bit of 3D here and there.

Ironically, this is one of the very few Mode 7 examples that doesn't abuse it to make a pseudo 3D perspective effect.
