Editing Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Like the early titles of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' is a two-dimensional, side-scrolling platform game. In addition to the typical run and [[jump]] controls, the Yoshis can also catch enemies and manipulate objects using their tongue. After catching an enemy, the Yoshi can either spit out or swallow them, although if Yoshi keeps an enemy in his mouth long enough, he eventually swallows it (with the exception of enemies he can only hold and spit out and not swallow). Swallowing most enemies allows the Yoshi to lay a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]], which it can carry up to six of; eating another enemy results in the egg at the front of the line to be discarded. While Yoshi has some eggs, the player can aim with a constantly moving target reticle and throw them to damage enemies, activate objects, ricochet them off solid surfaces, and skim them across water. This reticle can be locked into one position while aiming, and while Yoshis are aiming their eggs, they can still move around and jump. While most eggs come in green, some are yellow and red, and they release coins and stars when shattered respectively. While a Yoshi throws an egg, the egg changes color depending on how much it has bounced off walls. Green eggs can bounce up to three times, yellow eggs bounce only twice, and red eggs bounce only once. Power-ups also exist in the form of [[morph bubble|metamorphosis bubble]]s, which allow Yoshi to transform into various forms, and the [[Super Star]], which lets baby Mario turn into [[Superstar Mario|Powerful Mario]]. In addition to these moves, Yoshis can use [[Flutter Jump|Hovering Jump]]s multiple times in the air to increase the distance they travel. The first Hovering Jumps can increase the height of the jump, but subsequent Hovering Jumps mostly serve to prolong the duration of the fall. Yoshis can [[Ground Pound|Pound The Ground]] to smash stakes and defeat certain types of enemies. Camera controls include looking up to see upper areas of the level and ducking to force the camera down.
