It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.25em;font-weight:700;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:0.5em;\"\u003eItem Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery stage in Yoshi's Story looks handmade. Hills are quilted from fabric, trees are cut from cardboard, water ripples like stitched felt, and the whole world sits inside the pages of a pop-up picture book. Nintendo's first Yoshi adventure on the Nintendo 64 chose charm over scale at a time when most of the console's platformers were racing into open 3D worlds, and its storybook look is still the first thing anyone remembers about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story is simple and sweet. Baby Bowser has stolen the Super Happy Tree and trapped Yoshi's Island inside a picture book, and the only Yoshis left to set things right are six hatchlings still safe in their shells. Instead of racing to a goal, each level ends once your Yoshi has eaten thirty pieces of fruit, which turns every stage into a little treasure hunt. Melons are the prize catch, each Yoshi has a favorite fruit, and Yoshi can flutter jump, ground pound, throw eggs and sniff out goodies hidden in the scenery. Health is a smiling flower whose petals come back as you eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe structure rewards replay. The book has six pages of four courses each, and the special hearts you find in a stage decide how many courses you can choose from on the next page, so a single run only shows a slice of the game. Trial mode lets you return to any course you have opened and chase a perfect, melon-heavy score, and there are hidden Yoshis to discover beyond the starting six. It is an easy game to finish and a much harder one to master, and the whole design is built around that gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKazumi Totaka's score is the other half of its personality. Built around a cheerful central theme that returns in arrangement after arrangement, the music is warm and bouncy, with Yoshi voices chiming in, and Totaka even tucked his signature hidden melody, known to fans as Totaka's Song, into the game. Yoshi's Story carries the spirit of Yoshi's Island on the Super NES into a new generation, and its stitched-together look feels like an early sketch of the textile worlds the series would later explore in Yoshi's Woolly World and Yoshi's Crafted World.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coolection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56047107375270,"sku":"PCQ-3975-LG","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/7404\/4838\/files\/PCQ-3975-LG-1.webp?v=1790993632","url":"https:\/\/coolection.com\/products\/yoshis-story-1","provider":"Coolection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
