Yoshi Is Back

Yoshis Island DS is the sequal to the original Yoshis Island. It is basically the same game but with some added stuff. You still have the same abilities like swallowing enemies, shooting eggs, ground pounding, jumping and fluttering, and if you touch an enemy the baby falls off and you have seconds to get it back.

In the first Yoshis Island baby mario was always with yoshi but now there are more including peach, DK, Wario, and Bowser. Each of the babies gives yoshi different abilities.

MARIO: Sprint
PEACH: Hover Longer
DK: Climbing vines, swinging, and a dash attack
Wario: Attracts coins
Bowser: Shoot Fire

I have only got to DK so far and the babies keep getting better as you go along.

If You liked the first Yoshis Island you will like this one even more. If you havent then you should definitley pick this one up.

Is the sequel as good as the wonderful SNES game, Yoshi's Island, and its GBA remake? Here is my answer: no, but it's a great game. For one thing, a few of the levels seem almost identical to one another. I would have liked for something new to crop up on every single level, like the original. However, something very interesting does crop up: the babies Yoshi is carrying on his back. Collecting flowers, red coins, and star points has returned from the original. Also back are the ground pounding, stomping, jumping, and making and throwing eggs. If you get 100 coins, you get a 1-up (as always). Yoshi can also do a hover jump, as usual. You can slurp enemies up with your tongue, as well. It seems a lot has returned from the previous game. The adventure starts out with Baby Mario and Yoshi, but then Babies Peach, DK, Wario, and Bowser join Yoshi's team, each of them having different abilities. Peach can hover, Mario can dash and hit "M" blocks that are only visible to him, DK can swing across vines, Wario can attract metal with his magnet, and Bowser can breathe fire. The only problem is that some of the levels feel like you have to do the same thing over and over. I would still highly recommend this game. It is a very great game.

Why must all the good games be killed

Nintendo really needs to put more effort into its games. It is unacceptable for the name of great games such as yoshi's island to be put to shame by crappy sequels. Furthermore, I have not found a single ds game to be satisfactory. Please stop making horrid games Nintendo.

Pretty good game

* The graphics for this game are adorable.
* It's an adventure with little action (Is that good or bad?).
* Control of characters is challenging.
* Very clever.
* Good for 4 yr olds.

stop the mario!

Just like the Wii console, the DS is being plagued with endless Mario/Wario wtc games. Good god, I like Mario games as much as the next person but enough's enough.

This game looks cool

IN OCTOBER LAST YEAR I WENT TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE AND HE HAD THIS GAME. SO I
STARTED PLAYING AND THE GAME WAS COOL. I LIKE THAT YOU CAN PLAY AS BABY MARIO,BABY WARIO, BABY PEACH,AND BABY DONKEY KONG. ALL WE NEED IS TO BE
ABLE TO PLAY AS BABY YOSHI BUT THAT WOULD BE WEIRD.

Daugher loves this game

I purchased this for my 8 yr old and she loves it..She plays it all the time. She likes it better than Super Mario. I would recommend this product.

After a decade since the last Yoshi game, Ninendo finally gives us original fans what we've been waiting for! I loved the original SNES game so much and still play it, and wasn't disappointed with this DS version. It's not a continuation of the original but a new adventure, with several different babies to choose from with different special abilities. Very fun, and very challenging! I'm sure I'll be playing it for a while.

I was sad that it's a somewhat shorter game than the original, and I also was sad that while they kept some of the original music, there's not a whole lot of it (I really loved the SNES Yoshi's Island soundtrack). But the beautiful graphics are wonderful, really bring you into the game, and the action of the game is faster and smoother on the DS platform.

Thanks Nintendo! I hope you bring us more Yoshi soon!

This game is fun to play. I am just learning how to play the games that are not clickable and this one is just perfect for that and it does make you laugh. For a couple of hours of non clickable fun it is great!!!

Mario games never seize to disappoint me BUT

The Super Nintendo version of Yoshi's Island was a favorite and I was super thrilled when this came out. It wasn't what I was expecting it to be... Not as much action in it.
