Yoshi is back at it again

This game is great. I really enjoyed it! The object of the game is to get Mario back to his parents before Kamek's forces take him away. You have to control Yoshi and you can never lose him (not like Mario world) instead you lose baby Mario if you get him by an enemy. You have to catch hime before the timer reaches 0. You have to travel through six worlds before you complete the game. It's kinda like Yoshi's story. It's a great game. You should buy it.

This is great

I've played this game on the SNES and it is a great game! you play as Yoshi and you can eat enemies and throw eggs. the graphics are very good and the gameplay is too. also, there is a link mode for up to 4 players with one copy of the game, with the clasic arcade mode. buy it now!

I played this game for just 10 minutes and I fell in love with it! the graphics look so good on the GBA, and it was a real treat to hear the classic SNES yoshi sounds mixed in with the "yoshi's story" sounds (you hear them when you retreive baby Mario after he's knocked off your back.) and I was right: the music did not suffer. the game's music is just as catchy and moody(the castle theme) as it ever was. BUY THIS GAME!

One of the best games ever!

I remember, back about seven years ago when this game originally came out on SNES, my friend bought it. Every day we would go over to his house after scool and take turns playing levels until we eventually beat the game. The game storyline is basically that baby koopa has taken Luigi hostage, and Yoshi carries Mario around while making his way to Koopa's castle to save Luigi. The game takes a while to beat, so this wont be one of those games where you buy it and then wish you hadn't blown all that money for two days. This has been my favorite of all the Mario games ever made and i give it a 5 star rating for the complete fun you get out of it!

Classic Games are comin' back!!!

I played this game when SNES was in it's prime, and all I can say is that young ones who never even SAW the SNES are gonna be in for a real treat. Dozens of hidden and unlockable levels, smooth and responsive controls, clean, crisp graphics that are easily viewable, and a really catchy sountrack. This is one game that you can't, I repeat, CANNOT miss!

This proves that people will buy anything twice

I've played Yoshi's Island before on the SNES and it's a great game. Play as Yoshi and do toung-slinging action, power-jumping, egg-making levels of InSaNe fun!! defeat giant bosses and adventure to new worlds in search of baby mario's brother, Luigi and save them from the evil baby bowser! this game is worth it so buy it before it runs out.

The most gorgeous game I've ever played!

All about this game is fenomenal. Classic Super Mario action, the music is awesome and the Yoshi voice brings the game to a whole new level. the architecture is fenomenal. This is the best Super Mario game I've ever played, and without a doubt one of the best games ever!!
I recommend it to all ages. you will NOT regret!

Bought this game for my 6 & 8 year old because of the "4 player per pack" link abillity. I was disapointed to find out it was the "classic" game found on both Mario Worlds. Individually though the kids love playing this game. I just couldn't give it a 5 because I was disapointed in that one piece.

Widely hailed as the pinnacle of 2-D platforming.

Many reviews claim this; I wholeheartedly concur. Yoshi's Island is a brilliant offering of two dimensional level design and pure platforming goodness. From the start, you can expect hectic thrills (good, long ones too; this game is quite lengthy) while playing as the beloved Yoshi saddled with a wailing baby Mario. From here, gaming bliss takes over.

Yoshi's Island made the transition from Super Nintendo to Gameboy Advance surprising smoothly, suffering only from minor sound compression and scrolling issues (which are a minute annoyance at worst, negligible at best). The old-time, tried (and still true), beloved gameplay has remained perfectly intact. It's an immense joy to re-experience this, yet the greatness of this gameplay still eagerly welcomes newcomers.

Everybody who has an interest in platform games would do themselves a favor by picking up this marquis gem (a crystalline supplement to those all-too-common diamonds in the rough).

Love Yoshi and Mario

I am a mother of 5 grown children and I bought this game for myself, yes I love playing gameboy advance! I have played this game on SNES when my children were still at home. I like the graphics and the sound. some of it is a bit tough for me and I have to have one of my older kids beat the boss for me. I havent finished it yet but I will.
