'''''Yoshi's Island DS''''' is the direct sequel to ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', an indirect follow-up to ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', and chronologically the second video game in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. Compared to its predecessor, this game has fewer levels, remastered graphics (although still in "pen and pencil" style), new babies (in addition to [[Baby Mario]]), and a whole new adventure. [[Baby Donkey Kong]] and [[Baby Wario]] debut in this game. [[Yoshi's New Island|An upcoming sequel for Nintendo 3DS]] is planned for 2014.

==Story==
[[File:YIDS-Intro Background.png|thumb|left|250px|The beginning of the game's intro, which shows the events that previously occurred in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.]]
[[File:Stolen Babies - Yoshi's Island DS.png|thumb|[[Kamek]] and some [[Toady|Toadies]] stealing the babies.]]
[[Kamek]] and his army of [[Toady|Toadies]] steal all of the babies in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], as well as in other nearby areas. The Toadies take the babies to [[Bowser's Castle]], but the [[Stork]] comes in and attacks two Toadies, making them drop the babies they are carrying. The two babies land on [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]] and are revealed to be [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Peach]].

The Yoshis find the babies and decide to help them. They figure out that Baby Mario, once again, wants to save [[Baby Luigi]] and the other babies from Kamek and his Toadies. The Yoshis take the babies with them and go to rescue the kidnapped babies. Later on in the adventure, sometime after the defeat of [[Gilbert the Gooey]], a group of [[Grinder]]s kidnaps Baby Peach. 
[[File:YIDS-Finding Baby DK Screenshot.png|thumb|left|230px|Finding [[Baby Donkey Kong]].]]
The Yoshis and Baby Mario find another baby, [[Baby Donkey Kong]], who was left behind when the Toadies were kidnapping all the other babies. With the help of Baby Donkey Kong, Yoshi is able to rescue Baby Peach from the Grinders. Baby Donkey Kong joins the team when the Grinders are defeated.

Promptly after defeating [[Bessie Bass]] on a battleship, the Yoshis and the babies are swept away by a tidal wave in a storm. They eventually find [[Baby Wario]], who is also left behind. Baby Wario then decides to join the party.

When [[Priscilla the Peckish]] is defeated, Baby Wario decides to join a team of [[Bandit]]s in hope of getting money. Meanwhile, after the Yoshis defeat [[Six-Face Sal]], it is revealed that future [[Bowser]] and future Kamek are the ones kidnapping the babies and that they are looking for the seven [[Star Children]]. The Star Children are young children that have magical stars in them. If one collects all the stars, then the owner will rule the [[Mushroom Planet|world]]. Kamek kidnaps [[Baby Bowser]] (while Kamek of the past tries to stop him), and Baby Bowser and Bowser get into a fight, ending with Bowser causing his infant self to fall out of a window of the castle. Baby Bowser lands on Yoshi's back and joins their team, although they are worried that he might attack them.
[[File:YIDS-Past and Present Kamek.png|thumb|230px|Kamek of the present stealing [[Baby Bowser]] from Kamek of the past.]]
Baby Bowser does not stay for the rest of the adventure. When [[Big Guy the Stilted]] is defeated, he leaves with Kamek, who then returns to [[Bowser's Castle]] and uses a [[Crystal Ball]] to check every baby they have kidnapped (with the exception of Baby Luigi, who hides from it) to determine if they are Star Children, which they are not. Bowser becomes furious, and he sends the Toadies to keep looking for more babies.
[[File:YIDS-Wario Baby Bowser Argument.png|thumb|230px|left|[[Baby Wario]] and [[Baby Bowser]] arguing over some treasure.]]
The team finally arrives at [[At Last, Bowser's Castle!|Bowser's Castle]] where Baby Wario and Baby Bowser are arguing over who gets to keep some treasure. They then notice the Yoshis and help them travel through the castle. When they finally get to the top of the castle, however, Baby Bowser tells the Yoshis to leave. When they do not leave, Baby Bowser thinks [[Yoshi]] is there to steal his treasure. Baby Bowser fights Yoshi, but Yoshi defeats him.

Bowser then comes in the room and is angry at what Yoshi did to his younger self. He then fights Yoshi, but gets defeated just like his younger self. Kamek then uses magic to help Bowser become giant. The four babies with four Yoshis fight against the Giant Bowser using [[Giant Yoshi Egg|Giant Egg]]s and are eventually able to defeat him. Kamek escapes when Bowser is defeated, with four Toadies carrying Bowser right behind him. Baby Bowser decides to escape with Bowser and Kamek, and holds on to his broomstick.

The Yoshis save all the kidnapped babies, and the storks take all the babies back to their home, except for Baby Wario, who is homeless. Supposedly, the Stork adopts Baby Wario and takes him to a raft where Baby Bowser's treasure ends up. A flying rock hits Kamek's broomstick, and Baby Bowser lets go and falls down right in his treasure. Baby Wario and Baby Bowser start arguing about who gets to keep the treasure again.

It is then revealed that the seven Star Children are Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong, Baby Wario, Baby Bowser, and a newborn Baby Yoshi, who hatches from its [[Yoshi Egg]] at the end of the game.

==Modes==
[[File:YIDSmenu.png|thumb|The title screen is similar to that of the original game ''Yoshi's Island''.]]
===Adventure===
Gameplay mainly revolves around adventure mode, similarly played out as the original. Throughout the five unique worlds, a different colored Yoshi takes on one out of eight levels, with a mini-boss in Level 4 and a boss in Level 8 of each world. Enemies, items, and coins litter the levels, as well as collectibles. When a Yoshi is hit by an enemy, the baby is knocked loose from his back crying, and the star power - the source of the protective bubble that keeps the Toadies from taking the baby - goes down by one star per second. If that number goes down to zero, Toadies take away the baby and a life is lost. Yoshi, however, still has a small amount of time to recover the baby even after the Toadies have grabbed. The star power starts at ten in each level. If a baby is recovered with less than ten stars, the star power slowly reverts to ten. The star power maxes out at 30. Groups of five stars can be found in [[Winged Cloud]]s and [[crate]]s. The mode also features the [[Island Museum]], which is accessible at any time. In this museum, all the enemies [[Yoshi (species)|the Yoshis]] have defeated with [[Yoshi Egg]]s appear as exhibits.

===Minigames===
There are several [[Minigames]] to be unlocked in Adventure Mode: 

*[[Tulip Shooter]] - Yoshi must grab and spit enemies into a tulip.
*[[Flutter Challenge]] - Yoshi must try to flutter-jump as far as possible. 
*[[Bouncy Maze]] - Yoshi must maneuver his way through a simple maze of [[Bouncy|Bouncies]]. 
*[[Speed-Eater]] - Yoshi must try to swallow as many enemies as possible.
*[[Egg Toss]] - Yoshi must hit targets with [[egg]]s.

All minigames have a set time limit. Achieving a high score in any minigame awards Yoshi with an Extra Life. Harder versions of all the minigames can be unlocked by collecting all the [[Character Coin]]s in a world.

===Time Trial===
Time Trial is unlocked once Adventure Mode has been beaten. It is similar to Adventure Mode, but, the [[player]] is timed. Yoshi has one hundred minutes to finish each level - even when the player presses the Start Button, the time continues. If the player collects [[Red Coins]], [[Flowers]], and [[Stars]], time is added to the time taken to finish the level.

==Controls==
[[File:Yoshiisland2-9.png|200px|thumb|The controls menu in which the player can choose from Hasty to Patient.]]
From the Options menu, players can change the controls of the game. The player can choose from two sets of controls: {{Button|ds|A}}{{Button|ds|B}}{{Button|ds|X}}{{Button|ds|Y}} and {{Button|ds|A}}{{Button|ds|B}}{{Button|ds|L}}{{Button|ds|R}}, and two modes: Hasty and Patient, Below are the controls of the game:
===Shared controls===
*{{Button|ds|Pad}}: Used to move the Yoshis. Pressing it down makes yoshi crouch or make eggs.
*{{Button|gba|start}}: Pauses the game and opens the "Options" menu.
*{{Button|ds|R}}: Used to make Yoshi throw a Yoshi Egg. In Hasty mode: Holding the button, makes Yoshi aim at his target. Letting go of the button makes Yoshi throw the egg, in Patient mode the player has to press the button again to make Yoshi throw the egg.
*{{Button|ds|L}}: While Yoshi is aiming up and down, pressing the {{Button|ds|L}} button makes Yoshi lock on a specific location.
===First set: {{Button|ds|A}}{{Button|ds|B}}{{Button|ds|X}}{{Button|ds|Y}}===
*{{Button|ds|B}}: Used to jump, pressing it again will make Yoshi [[Flutter Jump]].
*{{Button|ds|Y}}: Used to Eat or spit an enemy. With [[Baby Mario]], the player can dash by holding the button.
In this set: the {{button|ds|A}} and {{button|ds|X}} can be used instead of the {{button|ds|R}} and {{button|ds|L}} respectively.
===Second set: {{Button|ds|A}}{{Button|ds|B}}{{Button|ds|L}}{{Button|ds|R}}===
*{{Button|ds|A}}: Used to jump, pressing it again will make Yoshi Flutter Jump.
*{{Button|ds|B}}: Used to Eat or spit an enemy. With Baby Mario, the player can dash by holding the button.

==Yoshi's Moves==
Yoshi and his friends have many different moves on their adventure. 

===[[Jump]]ing and [[Flutter Jump|Fluttering]]===
The player can press {{button|ds|B}} (or {{button|ds|A}} according to the player's options) to jump. By pressing {{button|ds|B}} again and holding it, the player can make a Yoshi Flutter Jump. This helps a Yoshi get to higher place.

===[[Swallow]]ing and Making Eggs=== 
To make eggs, a Yoshi has to swallow an enemy or hit an [[Egg Block]]. Not all enemies can be made into eggs as some may just be eaten or are inedible.

===[[Ground Pound]]===
[[File:YIDS GroundPound.png|150px|thumb|right|Yoshi [[Ground Pound|ground pounding.]]]]
To make this move, a Yoshi must jump, and the player should quickly press down on the control pad. The Yoshi pounds the ground and is useful for defeating enemies and bosses. It also lets Yoshis pound pillars and soft stones disappear.

===[[Egg Throw|Throwing Eggs]]===
A Yoshi can obtain eggs by eating some enemies. By pressing {{button|ds|R}}, the player can make Yoshi can aim the egg at various objects. If the player pressed {{button|ds|R}} by accident, he can cancel Yoshi from throwing an egg by pressing down on the {{button|ds|Pad}} (or pressing {{button|ds|B}}).

===Babies===
[[File:YIDS_Babies.jpg|thumb|Promotional artwork, showing the babies riding on Yoshis.]]
New to the sequel at certain spots are [[Stork Stop]]s, which let Yoshis change babies, providing different unique abilities. All four hidden babies in order can be unlocked by completing boss levels of the Adventure Mode.

| align="center" | {{color-link|Baby Mario|red}}
|[[M Block]]s become tangible, providing stepping stones. A Yoshi can also dash at a faster speed, allowing the Yoshi to escape from certain enemies. Yoshi can flutter jump normally. The eggs bounce off walls.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Baby Peach Yoshi's Island DS.png]]
| align="center" |{{color-link|Baby Peach|deeppink}}
|With Baby Peach's parasol, Yoshi is able to flutter further and a bit higher. Baby Peach's parasol can also be used to catch wind currents. The eggs do not bounce off walls.
|-

| align="center" |{{color-link|Baby Donkey Kong|Brown}}
|He can climb vines and chains, carrying Yoshi with him. He can also do a [[DK Dash Attack]], defeating most enemies. The eggs do not bounce, but they go faster and create a miniature explosion that can grab more coins, defeat enemies, or activate winged clouds.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:YIDS-Baby Wario Sprite.PNG]]
| align="center" |{{color-link|Baby Wario|gold}}
|He is accompanied by a magnet that attracts coins facing it (even through solid walls) and can move [[Magnet Block]]s and [[Magnet Platform]]s. The eggs bounce off of walls.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Baby Bowser YIDS Sprite.png]]
| align="center" |{{color-link|Baby Bowser|orange}}
|He can breathe fire, but Yoshi cannot swallow any enemies, meaning he cannot make eggs (although Yoshi can collect eggs). A fire blast often is the equivalent of an egg, being able to break winged clouds and destroy dirt walls as well as melting ice, but the blasts do not bounce off walls.
|}

===Forms===
A Yoshi can morph into several different types of vehicle with the help of a [[Morph Bubble]]. Morph Bubbles appear many times in the game. There are three forms:
{| cellspacing=0 border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse;" 
!Image 
!Name
!Abilities
|-
| align="center" |[[File:HelicopterDS.png]]
| align="center" |[[Yoshi Helicopter|Helicopter]]
|The Helicopter allows a Yoshi to fly for a short time.
|-

| align="center" |[[Yoshi Submarine|Submarine]]
|The Submarine allows a Yoshi to swim underwater.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Mole TankDS.png]]
| align="center" |[[Yoshi Mole Tank|Mole Tank]]
|The Mole Tank allows a Yoshi to dig through small openings and dirt.
|}
To turn back into a Yoshi, the Yoshi must either touch a [[Yoshi Block]] or wait until a little while and time runs out, as the forms last only for a certain period of time. When the Yoshi is turned back into a dinosaur, however, he also returns to the Morph Bubble if he fails to reach the Yoshi block in time.

===Transportation===
There are five types of transportation that Yoshis can use to progress through various levels.

|-

|-
| align="center" |[[File:YIDSStilts.png]]

|The stilts allow a Yoshi to walk the same way a [[Stilt Guy]] does. The stilts allows Yoshi to safely traverse hazardous terrain.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:YIDSCart.png]]
| align="center" |[[Cart]]
|The cart moves on a track on its own. Players cannot change the direction or the speed. Yoshi can jump out of the cart, but cannot Flutter Jump; he always lands back in the cart or on a higher track.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:YIDSSki.png]]
| align="center" |[[Ski]]s
|The ski is found in some ice-and-snow levels. Yoshis cannot change the direction of skis, but they can still jump. 
|-
| align="center" |[[File:YIDSRocket.png]]
| align="center" |[[Rocket]]
|Some huts lead to ''space launch pads'', allowing Yoshi to hop into a rocket. Pressing left and right turns the rocket and {{button|ds|Y}} and {{button|ds|B}} gives extra thrust. If the rocket makes contact with anything, the Yoshi loses a life.
|}

==Items and Objects==
As the Yoshis progress through their adventure, there are many items and objects they can collect.

*[[Yoshi Egg]]s are Yoshi's main weapon. 
*[[Coins]] are scattered throughout the game. Every hundred coins collected gives Yoshi an extra life. There are also Red Coins which look the same as normal coins until touched.
*[[Winged Cloud]]s give items, such as keys and stars.
*[[Key]]s unlock certain doors.
*[[Hint Block]]s give hints when hit to help the player past a certain point.
*[[Character Coin]]s are hidden with one in each level. Collecting them all unlocks harder version of the mini-games.
*[[Super Star]]s are rare - only four appear in the game, on 1-7, 4-8, 5-7 and Secret 5. Grabbing one gives [[Baby Mario]] a [[Superstar Mario|cape]] and invincibility.
*[[Stork Stop]]s allow Yoshi to switch between babies.

==Bonus Challenges==
Any [[Flower]]s the player collects in a level appears in the [[GOAL! Ring]] at the end of a level. After a Yoshi passes through the ring, the spinning slows. If it stops on a flower, the Yoshi is able to play a mini-game and can possibly earn 1-Ups. There are five different flowers in each level.

These are the Mini-games that may pop up if a Yoshi is able to get a flower in the Goal Roulette. They can also be played via the World Map screen if the player obtains a total of at least 700 points in a world.

*[[Flip Cards]]
*[[Scratch and Match (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|Scratch and Match]]
*[[Match Cards]]
*[[Roulette]]
*[[Slot Machine (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|Slot Machine]]

==References to Other Games==
*''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'': [[Donkey Kong]]'s treehouse appears as it does in that game.
*''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'': The game is the sequel to this game, and also takes place on the same titular island.
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'': [[M Block]]s appear again. [[Baby Peach]] originates from this game, too.

==References in Later Games==
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'': The game's "above ground" theme has been remastered and included in this game, and has been given the title "Wildlands". The [[Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Yoshi's Island]] stage is based on ''Yoshi's Island DS'''s graphics.

==Beta Elements==
{{main|List of Yoshi's Island DS beta elements}}

*''Yoshi's Island DS'', initially titled ''Yoshi's Island 2'', was originally going to be compatible with Nintendo Wi-Fi. This was scrapped from the game for unknown reasons.
*Early screenshots showcasing a battle with [[Big Guy the Stilted]] seemed to suggest that Big Guy was once going to be organic, as he had no patches on him in that picture (although one patch is visible near his right foot, which may mean his graphics were slightly incomplete).

==Trivia==
*All of the game's music features different variations of the main theme in different styles and tempos.
*The box art shows [[Baby Bowser]] riding [[Yellow Yoshi]], and [[Baby Wario]] riding [[Light Blue Yoshi]]; however, they do not ride these Yoshis in the game (excluding when Baby Wario is in the final boss fight). This is because the babies are only playable in the last four levels on the world map, as opposed to the Yoshis they ride, which are in the first four.
