Item Description

Five babies, one very busy dinosaur. Yoshi's Island DS opens with Kamek and his Toadies snatching babies from all over the world in search of the seven Star Children, and the Yoshi clan once again sets out to carry the little ones to safety. Developed by Artoon under Nintendo's guidance, it follows directly from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island on the Super NES and carries forward its hand-drawn, crayon-and-watercolor look. Playing it feels like flipping through a storybook that happens to contain some of the most inventive level design in the DS library.

The core mechanic is as satisfying as ever. Yoshi gulps down enemies, turns them into eggs, and hurls them across the screen to hit distant targets, trigger switches and grab items tucked just out of reach, while the flutter jump buys you that extra moment of hang time over a tricky gap. Each stage scores you out of 100 for the stars, red coins and flowers you collect, and chasing a perfect run on every level is where the real challenge lives.

What the DS sequel adds is a roster of babies riding on Yoshi's back, each changing how a level plays. Baby Mario lets Yoshi dash, Baby Peach opens her parasol to glide on air currents, Baby Donkey Kong climbs vines and ropes, and Baby Wario's magnet pulls metal objects toward him. Baby Bowser eventually joins the team with a fiery twist of his own. Stork Stops let you swap passengers mid-level, and many of the best secrets are only reachable by the right baby.

The dual screens stretch every stage into a tall playfield, so eggs fly up into the top display and enemies drop in from above, giving the levels room to sprawl vertically in a way the original never could. Boss fights keep the series' wonderful sense of absurdity. For players who wore out the Super NES original, this is the sequel that finally answered it, with the same storybook charm and a new set of tricks to master on a handheld.

About the game

Yoshi's Island DS is a 2D platformer for the Nintendo DS in the Yoshi's Island series. It is the sequel to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, where Kamek and the Toadies have kidnapped all the babies in the world in search for the star children, a group of seven babies who possess powerful stars in their hearts. While the game is heavily derivative from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, including general gameplay, themes, and graphics, the game primarily differentiates itself from its predecessor by taking advantage of the Nintendo DS's dual screen to display levels while introducing multiple babies to carry on Yoshi's back, who all have special abilities that are required to complete levels.
