'''''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''''' (titled '''''Super Mario: Yossy Island''''' スーパーマリオ　ヨッシーアイランド ''Sūpā Mario: Yosshī Airando'' in Japan, and sometimes referred to as '''''Yoshi's Island''''') is a video game developed by the [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development]] division for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in 1995. Although its English title suggests that it was intended to be a sequel to the 1990 video game ''[[Super Mario World]]'', it is a prequel and its Japanese title may indicate that it belongs to a separate lineage. It stars [[Yoshi]] and his [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi clan]] who, while carrying [[Baby Mario]], travel across [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]] to reclaim the kidnapped [[Baby Luigi]] from [[Baby Bowser]] and his [[Magikoopa]] minion, [[Kamek]].

A long, long time ago . . . This is a story about [[Baby Mario]] and [[Yoshi]].<br><br>A [[stork]] hurries across the dusky, pre-dawn sky. In his bill, he supports a pair of twins. Suddenly, a shadow appears in a gap between the clouds and races towards the stork with blinding speed.<br><br>'''"SCRREEEECH!!!"'''<br><br>'''"THE BABIES ARE MINE!"'''<br><br>'''WOW!!!''' Snatching only one baby, the creature vanishes into the darkness from whence it came.<br><br>The second baby falls undetected towards the open sea. . . '''OH NO. . .'''<br><br>Meanwhile, here is [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]], home to all [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshies]]. It's a lovely day, and Yoshi is taking a walk. '''HUH?!?''' Suddenly, a baby drops in onto his back. The baby seems to be fine. This is very fortunate! Wha-? Something else fell with the baby . . . Let's take a peek . . .<br><br>It looks like a map. Maybe the stork was using it? But Yoshi can't figure it out. Yoshi decides to talk to his friends.<br><br>'''AAAKK!!!''' [[Kamek]], the evil [[Magikoopa]], and kidnapper of the baby, quickly dispatches his [[Toady|toadies]], when he discovers that he missed the other baby!<br><br>Yoshi heads leisurely back to the other Yoshies, unaware of the danger at hand. Kamek's forces are actively searching the island.<br><br>Will these two children ever reach their parents safely?

This paradise is Yoshi's Island, where all the Yoshies live. They are all in an uproar over the baby that fell from the sky.<br><br>Wait! The baby seems to know where he wants to go . . . The bond between the twins informs each of them where the other one is. The Yoshis decide to carry the baby to his destination via a relay system. Now begins a new adventures for the Yoshies and baby Mario.

Like previous entries in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]], ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' is a two-dimensional, side-scrolling platform game. Unlike its predecessors however, the game involves a radically different moveset and approach to mortality.

In addition to the typical run and [[jump]] controls, the Yoshis can also ingest enemies and manipulate objects using their tongue. After ingesting an enemy, the Yoshi can either eject or swallow them. Swallowing them allows the Yoshi to lay a [[Yoshi Egg]], which he can carry up to six of. The Yoshi can then aim and throw the eggs. These projectiles damage enemies, ricochet off solid surfaces, and skim across water. If the Yoshi comes into contact with a [[Super Star]], Baby Mario will transform into [[Superstar Mario]], granting him temporary invincibility.

''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' introduces the concept of time-based health. When the Yoshi comes into contact with an enemy, Baby Mario will become encased in a bubble and float in the air. While Baby Mario is in this state, a [[Countdown Timer]] will appear, counting down in seconds until it reaches zero. When starting a level, the timer is begins at ten. If it falls below ten, it will slowly regenerate until reaching ten after Yoshi recovers Baby Mario. If the timer reaches zero, [[Toadies]] will kidnap Baby Mario, resulting in the deduction of one [[life]]. The timer can be increased to a maximum of thirty by collecting [[starmen]], using [[10-Point Star]]s and [[20-Point Star]]s, and entering [[Middle Rings]]. Entering a Middle Ring will also mark the point where the Yoshi can continue from if it loses a life.

The objective of each [[level]] is to reach the [[GOAL! Ring]]. [[Player]]s are given the option of collecting five [[flower]]s, twenty [[Red Coin|red coin]]s, and thirty starmen. The GOAL! Ring is also a roulette. There are ten spots on the roulette. Five of the spots can be made winning spots by collecting the five [[flower]]s dispersed in each level. At the end of each level, the player's score is tallied, with flowers worth ten points each, red coins one points each, and starmen one point each. Attaining a perfect hundred points in all eight level in a [[world]] will unlock a [[Bonus Challenge]] and an extra level on the level selection map.

'''''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''''' is a remake of ''Yoshi's Island'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]] as part of the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance‎]]'' series. It was released in 2002 and has a number of differences from the original surrounding gameplay, content and graphics, as listed below.

====New Features====

Some new features for this game are the bonus levels and the sound effects. If the player gets all 100 points on each level they will go to a secret level. Also when Yoshi [[Jump|jumps]], [[Flutter Jump|flutter jumps]], [[Crouch|crouches]] or throws an egg, Yoshi will make sounds when he does those things. Since there are Bonus levels and the game is on the [[Game Boy Advance]] the map looks slightly different.

====List of Changes====

*The Pause Menu has changed. Instead of one menu handling all functions, there are now two. One allows the player to put their Game Boy Advance into sleep mode, or return to the overworld map. The other, which is a redesigned version of the original's pause screen, allows the use of items, and displays the player's current score for the level.

*The Yoshi's Island [[Mini Battle]] code was changed (because the Game Boy Advance didn't have {{button|snes|X}} and {{button|snes|Y}} buttons) to {{button|gba|L}}, {{button|gba|L}}, {{button|gba|B}}, {{button|gba|A}}, {{button|gba|R}} (while holding the {{button|gba|select}} button).

;Level Changes

[[File:YIGBAMAP.PNG|thumb|left|The World Map of Yoshi's Island when beginning the game.]]

*A new room has been added to the level 1-8 ([[Salvo the Slime's Castle]]). It is between what were the second and third rooms in the original game. It has one [[Shy Guy]]-spawning pipe.

*The original version had 21 red coins in More Monkey Madness (Extra 3), but the remake has the usual 20. There was a red coin under a [[Tap-Tap]] on a ground pound stake. This has been removed from the remake.

*An extra [[Middle Ring]] has been added to 4-4 ([[Marching Milde's Fort]]).

*The final room before the boss in 4-8 ([[Hookbill the Koopa's Castle]]) has been redesigned.

*All of the extra levels in the original game were modified for this version, most noticeably [[Kamek's Revenge]].

*The biggest change was the addition of six entirely new levels in the remake, called Secret levels. These are to the left of the Extra Levels on the map screen, and are unlocked by defeating [[Baby Bowser]] on level 6-8. Consequently, it is no longer necessary to have a perfect score in a particular World, to unlock that World's extra level.

*The final level of the game had its name changed from "Castles - Masterpiece Set" to "Ultimate Castle Challenge".

;Graphical Changes

*Much of the wording has changed throughout the game's dialog.  Notable examples include: in the opening cinematic, the story in the SNES version starts "A long, long time ago... This is a story about baby Mario and Yoshi..." The GBA version starts out "This is a story about Baby Mario and Yoshi...  A story that took place a long, long time ago." At the world 3-8 boss, when Kamek appears, he says in the SNES version, "Give it up, Yoshi, you cutie without a navel!  Ooopp- forget it..." whereas in the GBA version, he says "Give up, Yoshi, you egg-throwing maniac!  Ooops... Forget that!" Finally, when entering Bowser's room, Kamek says "YOU!  are n-n-not welcome HERE!!! Yoshi, please hand OVER THE BABY!"(SNES), or "Welcome!!! Yoshi, if you would be so kind, please HAND OVER THE BABY!"(GBA) 

*As always, the palette is lightened to combat the original Game Boy Advance's lack of a backlight.

*In the original, the Yoshi who completed the x-2 levels was a very dark shade of pink. However, they appeared red on the map. Similarly, the Yoshi who completed the x-7 levels was red, but appeared hot pink on the map. In the remake, the x-2 Yoshi is always light pink, and the x-7 Yoshi is always red.

*All Yoshis had red shoes in the original. In the remake, they have different colored shoes, as in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''.

*When Yoshi touches a Fuzzy in the original game, the background smears erratically and fades between random colors. The ground also ripples. In the remake, the background doesn't smear or tint. However, it does fade between white and its normal colors. The ground ripple is also less fluid in the remake. This probably happens because the Game Boy Advance is not able to handle the Super FX chip-powered graphic effects as well as the original.

**Probably related to the above, Red Coins were given away in the original; while yellow coins followed the rippling of the ground, Red Coins did not. In the remake, all coins ripple with the ground.

*In underground levels with "sparkling" ground, mushrooms and other foreground decorations sometimes have their palettes changed. This is done to fix a glitch where some black objects would also sparkle.

*Sealed doors have different graphics. The boards that cover them aren't visibly bisected, as in the original.

*Kamek's magic has a different visual effect. The colored cloud is absent, while the cycling sparkles remain.

*The overworld map was redesigned. The path the Yoshis follow to their goal is now in a straight line (due the GBA screen limitation), and spots have been added to the map for each world's two hidden levels. Additionally, a "world select" screen was added, and if the player has not yet completed world 6-8, baby Luigi is shown on world 6's spot on the world select map.  He is seen in a bubble, crying, much like Mario when he is knocked off Yoshi's back.

*The GBA version's credits are shorter than the original, with some different staff members.  As a remake, the credits list "Original YI Staff" under "Special Thanks."  The producer of the SNES version was Shigeru Miyamoto, and Hiroshi Yamauchi served as executive producer. The GBA version's producer and executive producer were Takashi Tezuka and Satoru Iwata, respectively.
