Item Description
Long before Game Freak was catching monsters, it was hatching dinosaurs. Yoshi was the studio's first game published by Nintendo, and it reached players barely a year after Super Mario World introduced the green dinosaur, making it the first game to put his name in the title. Despite the cover star, this is not a platformer. It is a quick-thinking puzzle game in the tradition of Tetris, and one of the more original spins on the falling-piece formula from that era.
Goombas, Boos, Bloopers and Piranha Plants drop down four columns while Mario stands at the bottom of the playfield, swapping the trays beneath them so that matching enemies land on top of each other and disappear. The clever part is the eggshell. When the top half of a shell falls onto a stack that holds a bottom half, everything caught between the two is sealed inside and a Yoshi hatches out, and the more enemies you trap, the more the hatch is worth. Deciding whether to clear a column now or gamble on building a towering stack for a big hatch, while every column creeps toward the top, is where the game gets its delicious tension.
There is an endless mode for chasing high scores and a round-based mode that asks you to clear the board, plus a head-to-head mode for two players that turns a calm puzzle into a frantic race. It is the sort of game that fits perfectly into ten spare minutes and then quietly eats an hour.
Yoshi also appeared on Game Boy, and it was followed by Yoshi's Cookie, as the dinosaur became a go-to Nintendo puzzle mascot. Today the NES cartridge is a fun piece of history twice over: an early Yoshi starring role, and a glimpse of the small studio that would go on to create Pokémon.
