Item Description

Long before Pokémon, one of Game Freak's first games for Nintendo was this quick, clever puzzle game starring Yoshi and Mario. The credits read like a preview of what was coming: Game Freak founder Satoshi Tajiri, future Pokémon composer Junichi Masuda and producer Shigeru Miyamoto all had a hand in it, while the studio was already dreaming about a much bigger RPG.

The idea is simple and instantly addictive. Goombas, Boos, Bloopers and Piranha Plants tumble into four columns, and Mario, standing at the bottom of the screen, swaps adjacent stacks so that matching enemies land on each other and vanish. Yoshi eggshells fall too, and the real fun is in setting them up: join a top half to a bottom half and a Yoshi hatches, and if you have trapped a pile of enemies between the two shells, a bigger Yoshi pops out and the points climb. Building a tall sandwich of monsters while the columns creep toward the top is where the tension comes from.

Two modes give it structure. A-Type is an endless chase for a high score, while B-Type hands you a series of rounds to clear, each starting with a fuller board than the last. With a link cable and a second cartridge, two players can go head-to-head on rival fields.

Yoshi has the pick-up-and-play rhythm that made the Game Boy such a perfect puzzle machine, and Masuda's bouncy soundtrack suits it well. European players know it as Mario & Yoshi. Few cartridges offer a better look at Game Freak before Pikachu, and it is a smart little puzzle game in its own right.
