==List of changes==

===General changes===

Much of the artwork from the original game is retouched to use shading effects to make it look more elaborate. Some images (such as those of [[Hookbill the Koopa]], Baby Bowser, and Kamek) appeared in strategy guides for the original with wrong colors; however, no such mistakes are present in the retouched versions.

*A redesigned version of the original's pause screen which allows the use of items, and displays the player's current score for the level.

**The GBA version allows the player to carry up to 27 items at a time, rather than 25 as in the SNES version.

*Additionally, the Mini Battle huts are not sealed after a battle in the GBA version, so the hut can be re-entered and the battle fought as many times as the player wishes.

===Level design changes===

[[File:Map SMA3 YI.png|thumb|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|Shy-Guy]]-spawning pipe.

*A [[flipper]] has been added in level 2-1 ([[Visit Koopa And Para-Koopa]]) after going through the [[Cascading Stone|falling stone block]]s.

*The original version had 21 [[Red Coin|red coin]]s in More Monkey Madness (Extra 3) instead of the usual 20. The extra red coin was under a [[Tap-Tap]] on a [[post]], which was removed in the remake.

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

*An extra Middle Ring has been added to 5-7 ([[Shifting Platforms Ahead]]), near the warp pipe leading to the room with the level's first [[Smiley Flower|flower]].

*In the first area of 6-8 ([[King Bowser's Castle (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|King Bowser's Castle]]), where Yoshi must cross the large gap as a [[Helicopter Yoshi|Helicopter]], every few seconds, Kamek will speed across the screen, trying to knock Yoshi out of the sky.  In the original game, this keeps up until the player enters the door at the far end. In the GBA remake, once the player reaches the Middle Ring near the door, Kamek will fly in, look at Yoshi grimly, then fly off, leaving the player alone thereafter.

===Graphical changes===

*Button prompts were changed to be in line with the GBA ones.

*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.

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

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

*Upon defeating the final boss, the respective file on the file-select screen will now display the word ''CLEAR'' with an image of Baby Bowser. Previously, a file with 6-8 completed would retain the ''WORLD 6'' text with the image of Kamek.

*When [[Tap-Tap the Red Nose]] is defeated, the mid-boss theme continues playing until he sinks to the bottom of the lava pit, rather than stopping as soon as he falls in.

*In World 5-1: [[BLIZZARD!!!]] the sky bonus area continues playing the main level theme rather than the song heard during [[Bonus Challenge]]s.

*The squeaking sound made when Yoshi walks on icy surfaces has been removed.

*The water gurgling sound effect in the background of sewer areas has been removed.

===Textual changes===

*As this is a remake, the credits list "Original YI Staff" under "Special Thanks", though very few of the SNES version's staff members actually contributed to the remake.

*As [[Hiroshi Yamauchi]] resigned from the presidency of Nintendo a few months prior to the GBA version's release, the remake's executive producer is his successor, [[Satoru Iwata]].

==Reception==

|Release

|align="left"|"''Simply put, Yoshi's Island would make an excellent addition to anyone's collection of Game Boy Advance games. Its beautiful, inspired visuals and consistently fun and inventive gameplay make a landmark achievement in one of gaming's most beloved genres, and even though its star isn't Nintendo's famous plumber, the game itself is every bit as good if not better than any other Mario title to date. Besides being a superb game on its own merits and even by today's high standards, Yoshi's Island is also a great little game to have on the go. So even if you've played it before, and especially if you haven't, you should seriously consider picking it up.''"
