'''''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 third 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, and a whole new adventure. In this game, Kamek and the Toadies have kidnapped all the babies in the world, including Baby Luigi. Yoshi, Baby Mario, Baby Peach, and the Stork team up and attempt to save the babies. [[Baby Donkey Kong]] and [[Baby Wario]] debut in this game. This was the first ''Yoshi's Island'' game since the original which was released in 1995. A midquel, ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' for [[Nintendo 3DS]], was released in March 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 (enemy)|Grinder]]s kidnaps Baby Peach. 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 universe. 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.

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.

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 (Yoshi's Island)|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]], [[Smiley Flower|Flowers]], and [[Stars]], time is added to the time taken to finish the level.

==Gameplay==
===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. If the down arrow is pressed in the air, Yoshi will ground pound.
*{{Button|ds|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.

===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.

!Baby
!First level
!Abilities
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Baby Mario Yoshi's Island DS.png]]<br>{{color-link|Baby Mario|red}}
|[[Ba-dum BUM!]]
|[[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, such as Chomp Sharks and slowly collapsing ceilings. Yoshi can flutter jump normally. The eggs bounce off walls.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Baby Peach Yoshi's Island DS.png]]<br>{{color-link|Baby Peach|deeppink}}
|[[Ba-dum BUM!]]
|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" |[[File:Baby DK YIDS Sprite.png]]<br>{{color-link|Baby Donkey Kong|Brown}}
|[[Baby DK, the Jungle King!]]
|Baby Donkey Kong 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]]<br>{{color-link|Baby Wario|gold}}
|[[Heeeeeeere's Wario!]]
|Baby Wario 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 walls.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Baby Bowser YIDS Sprite.png]]<br>{{color-link|Baby Bowser|orange}}
|[[Friend or Foe?]]
|Baby Bowser 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]]. To revert to normal, the Yoshi must either touch a [[Yoshi Block]] or wait until the time runs out, as the forms last only for a certain period of time. The Yoshi, however, must touch the Yoshi Block to progress the level; otherwise, he is directed back to the Morph Bubble. While Baby Mario stays protected in a bubble, Yoshi is also invincible while in these forms, but if he is hit, he is stunned and knocked into a certain direction, making him lose time. Yoshi also cannot attack in these form.

There are three forms:

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.

==Similarities to ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''==
*The first piece of the first level of World 1 is same as the one from its prequel.
*In one level, there is a bush near the [[Goal Ring]] containing a [[Shy Guy]]. If [[Yoshi]] passes through the bush, without defeating the Shy Guy first, a [[Bandit]] will swap it out for [[Baby Mario]], whom he tries to run off with. The Shy Guy will stay on Yoshi's back until he grabs Baby Mario back from the Bandit.
*The first mid-boss battle contains a [[Burt]].
*The first world boss is a blob-like creature.
*Parts of both first world bosses can be eaten by Yoshi.
*The second mid-boss is a ghost whose size changes throughout the battle.
*The third mid-boss is an aquatic enemy capable of eating Yoshi.
*The jungle world boss is a [[Piranha Plant]], and [[Nipper Plant]]s are present during the battle.
*At least one world boss is a completely unique species, not based off of any particular enemy in the game.
*The fourth World Boss is a giant variation of an enemy that appeared in earlier levels.
*In the fifth world, there's a boss that is a bird enemy.
*There is a giant golden [[Tap-Tap]] in a possible path in [[Bowser's Castle]].
*The first part of each final battle is against [[Baby Bowser]], who creates shockwaves as an attack, and the last is against a giant version of [[Bowser]], age unconsidered, who uses falling boulders and fireballs as attacks. Also, both final final battles require the use of [[Giant Yoshi Egg]]s carried into the field by [[Baron von Zeppelin]]s, and Bowser's castle is destroyed during the transition to the final phase of both battles.
*The final normal level is [[Bowser's Castle]], and is explored by the [[Green Yoshi]] instead of the [[Blue Yoshi]].

==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.
*''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'': [[Baby Donkey Kong]] returns.

==Staff==
{{main|List of Yoshi's Island DS staff}}
''Yoshi's Island DS'' was developed by the company [[Artoon]], instead of [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development|Nintendo EAD]] like other ''Yoshi'' games were. The game was directed by Hidetoshi Takeshita and the lead programmer was Yuki Hatakeyama. [[Takashi Tezuka]], served as one of the senior producers of the game, with Naoto Ohshima being the other one.

==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==
*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.

-'''''Yoshi's Island DS''''' is a 2D [[Genre#Platform|platformer]] for the [[Nintendo DS]]. The second original installment in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series, the game was released in North America on November 13, 2006, in Australia on November 23, 2006, in Europe on December 1, 2006, in Japan and Taiwan on March 8, 2007, and in South Korea on November 8, 2007. It is the sequel to ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and tells the story of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s rescuing all the babies in the world that [[Kamek]] and the [[Toady|Toadies]] have kidnapped in search for the [[star children]], a group of seven babies who possess powerful stars in their hearts. This is the first ''Yoshi's Island'' game to be developed by a third party studio, [[Artoon]], instead of by [[Nintendo EAD]].
+'''''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 third 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, and a whole new adventure. In this game, Kamek and the Toadies have kidnapped all the babies in the world, including Baby Luigi. Yoshi, Baby Mario, Baby Peach, and the Stork team up and attempt to save the babies. [[Baby Donkey Kong]] and [[Baby Wario]] debut in this game. This was the first ''Yoshi's Island'' game since the original which was released in 1995. A midquel, ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' for [[Nintendo 3DS]], was released in March 2014.
-While the game is heavily derivative from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', including general gameplay, themes, and graphics, the game primarily differentiates itself from its predecessor by taking advantage of the Nintendo DS's dual screen to display levels while introducing multiple babies to carry on a Yoshi's back, all of whom special abilities that are required to make it through levels. Besides [[Baby Mario]], there are a few other [[#Babies|babies]] whom the Yoshis can carry during their adventure, and of them, [[Baby DK]] and [[Baby Wario]] make their first appearance in ''Yoshi's Island DS'' overall.
-A third original game, ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', was released in 2014 for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and continues the story told before ''Yoshi's Island DS''. The game was rereleased for the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in North America on April 1, 2015, in Japan on April 8, 2015, in Europe on May 7, 2015, and in Australia on May 8, 2015.

-Baby Luigi has been kidnapped!
-<br>Our adventure begins one sunny day on Yoshi's Island. Yoshi is out enjoying the day with a leisurely stroll when, all of a sudden, two babies drop out of the sky.

Yoshi wonders if the castle holds other babies.

The star children are young children that have magical stars in them. If one collects all the stars, then they become the ruler of the universe. 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 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.

 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 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.

+==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 (Yoshi's Island)|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.
-It is then revealed that the seven star children are Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby DK, Baby Wario, Baby Bowser, and a newborn Baby Yoshi, who hatches from a [[Yoshi's Egg]] at the end of the game.
+===Minigames===
+There are several [[Minigames]] to be unlocked in Adventure Mode:
-==Gameplay==
+*[[Tulip Shooter]] - Yoshi must grab and spit enemies into a tulip.
-Gameplay typically consists of platforming throughout the game's levels, where a Yoshi needs to navigate through the various obstacles in order to reach the [[Goal Ring|Goal roulette]]. Yoshis have various means of dealing with the obstacles, with basic actions being running, [[jump]]ing either to dodge obstacles or defeat enemies, and [[Ground Pound]]ing harder to defeat enemies or [[stump|post]]s. Yoshis can [[Flutter Jump]] repeatedly in the air to increase distance and slow down descent speed. Unique to Yoshis and their primary method of dealing with enemies and obstacles are their extendable, sticky tongues, which allows them to swallow most enemies and turn them into essential, versatile projectiles: [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Eggs]]. Eggs have a wide variety of purposes, whether they activate [[Winged Cloud]]s, defeat enemies that cannot be eaten or stomped on, open up traps and obstacles, retrieve coins, reveal hidden Winged Clouds, and more. Eggs by default come in green, changes color when bouncing off walls and the color indicates how many times eggs bounce off walls before they are destroyed. Green eggs can bounce off walls three times, [[Yellow Egg]]s two, and [[Red Egg]]s instantly get destroyed when they touch a wall. If a Yellow or Red Egg hits an enemy, it spawns [[coin]]s or a [[Star (Yoshi's Island series)|star]] respectively. Yoshis can retrieve bounced eggs by using their tongue at them before they get destroyed, though some items such as colored [[Egg Block]]s can give Yoshis different colored eggs. Yoshis can carry up to six eggs, and eggs get discarded if a Yoshi creates more eggs. In addition, Yoshis can obtain eggs by hitting Egg Blocks or retrieving them from [[Egg Plant]]s. Like in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', collecting every [[Red Coin]], [[Star (Yoshi's Island series)|Star]], and [[Smiley Flower]] is required for 100% [[completion]].
+*[[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.
-''Yoshi's Island DS'' retains the health system in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. When a Yoshi is hit by an enemy or an obstacle, the baby is knocked loose from his back, crying, and the [[star (Yoshi's Island series)|star]] power&ndash;the source of the protective bubble that keeps the Toadies from taking the baby&ndash;goes down by one star per second. If that number goes down to zero, Toadies take away the baby and a life is lost. The Yoshi, however, still has a small amount of time to recover the baby even after the Toadies have grabbed. The Yoshi can rescue the baby by touching the bubble with its body or its tongue. If the Yoshi hits the bubble with an egg, the bubble gets knocked down, making the baby easier to reach. The star power starts at ten in each level. If a baby is recovered with less than ten stars, the star power slowly increases to ten. Additionally, groups of five stars can be found in [[Winged Cloud]]s and [[crate]]s, and [[Goal Ring|goal roulette]]s give twenty additional star power, allowing the star power to max at thirty. Remaining star power also counts toward the score at the completion of the level. Although Yoshis cannot be defeated in normal circumstances, they instantly lose a life if they touch [[Spike (obstacle)|spike]]s, [[lava]], fall into bottomless [[pit]]s, get crushed, or eaten by [[Lunge Fish]] or [[Cheep Chomp|Boss Basses]].
+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.
-A Yoshi can morph into several certain types of vehicles using a [[Morph Bubble]]. Yoshi can return to his regular self by either touching a [[Yoshi Block]] or waiting for time to expire. Touching the Yoshi Block is required to progress, as Yoshi is directed back to the Morph Bubble otherwise. Yoshi cannot attack while in a Morph Bubble form, and if he is hit, Yoshi is stunned and knocked a certain direction.
+===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]], [[Smiley Flower|Flowers]], and [[Stars]], time is added to the time taken to finish the level.
-New to ''Yoshi's Island DS'' is the addition of extra babies and [[Stork Stop]]s, who affect the gameplay in various ways. By default, Yoshis carry Baby Mario, who retains gameplay most similar to the original entry and allows Yoshis to hit [[M Block]]s. At Stork Stops, Yoshis can swap out babies once they have been unlocked. Carrying [[Baby Peach]], for example, allows Yoshis to flutter jump further and ride winds thanks to the use of her parasol while [[Baby DK]] allows Yoshis to climb vines, explode eggs, and use the [[DK Dash Attack]] to charge through rocks and enemies; however, Baby Peach causes a Yoshi to lose the ability to bounce eggs while Baby DK is heavier to carry and thus reduces flutter jump distance. Regular enemies can appear in the [[Island Museum]] after being hit by an egg.
+==Gameplay==
 ===Controls===

-===Island Museum===
+{|width=80% cellspacing=0 border=1 cellpadding=4 style="border-collapse:collapse;"
-Accessible in Adventure mode, the [[Island Museum]] is a live bestiary of the enemies in the game. Any enemies hit by [[Yoshi's Egg]]s appear in exhibits and are organized by the class they are in (eg, many water-based enemies appear in the aquatic-based exhibit).
+!Baby
+!First level
-==Worlds and levels==
+!Abilities

+===Forms===
-{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
+A Yoshi can morph into several different types of vehicle with the help of a [[Morph Bubble]]. To revert to normal, the Yoshi must either touch a [[Yoshi Block]] or wait until the time runs out, as the forms last only for a certain period of time. The Yoshi, however, must touch the Yoshi Block to progress the level; otherwise, he is directed back to the Morph Bubble. While Baby Mario stays protected in a bubble, Yoshi is also invincible while in these forms, but if he is hit, he is stunned and knocked into a certain direction, making him lose time. Yoshi also cannot attack in these form.

 ''Yoshi's Island DS'' was developed by the company [[Artoon]], instead of [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development|Nintendo EAD]] like other ''Yoshi'' games were. The game was directed by Hidetoshi Takeshita and the lead programmer was Yuki Hatakeyama. [[Takashi Tezuka]], served as one of the senior producers of the game, with Naoto Ohshima being the other one.
-==Reception==
-''Yoshi's Island DS'' received mainly positive reviews from critics. It was praised for having similar gameplay to its predecessor, as well as the artwork, although the gameplay's being too similar to its predecessor is frequently cited. Some critics also considered it the best portable ''Yoshi'' game released.
-The game has been praised for its design.<ref>{{cite|author=Harris, Craig|date=November 14, 2006|language=en|url=ign.com/articles/2006/11/14/yoshis-island-ds-review|title= ''Yoshi's Island DS'' Review|publisher=IGN|accessdate=October 30, 2024}}</ref> He has described the game more of a nostalgic reminder of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' rather than an advancement of the series. As a result, he suggested that the designs stuck too close to original formula, ruining surprises for veteran players of ''Yoshi's Island''. He praised the different babies, although he felt that Baby Wario "was a last-minute edition and not tested properly". Although he noted that the dual screen gave the players a bigger view, but criticized the blind spot between the dual screens.
-Tom Bramwell of Eurogamer was reluctant to praise ''Yoshi's Island DS'' in the same way as ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', as he considered the game to be a "distended version of Yoshi". He acknowledges Artoon's effort in the game and the variety of babies and levels. He also criticizes the developers' abuse of the blind spot between the two screens and that the developers failed to establish trust for the player to explore. He finally stated that "Artoon is cribbing from the same notes. It's a shame, because there are times when you catch glimpses of the sort of thing the Japanese team is really capable of[...]."
-''Yoshi's Island DS'' was placed 46 on Gamesradar's Top 50 DS games. The small feature called it a fresh and new experience, a beautiful 2D world, and that they'd never tire of playing the game.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20120519140521/http://www.gamesradar.com/best-ds-games|author=GamesRadar Staff|date=September 15, 2012|title=Best DS Games|language=en|publisher=GamesRadar|accessdate=October 30, 2024}}</ref>

-|"''It's hard to top a masterpiece, but that's just what Nintendo and Artoon have done with Yoshi's Island DS. By incorporating one major new feature and leaving everything else alone, they've produced a sequel that seems fresh and new while remaining every bit as awesome as the original. If you enjoy side-scrolling platformers, you have to play this one.''"

-|"''Don't let the negative tone throw you -- Yoshi's Island DS is a great game. It's just a egg throw's distance away from having the same impact the original Yoshi's Island did more than a decade ago. It sets out to emulate everything that made the first game so great, and does a really good job doing that. But it runs into the problem of not doing enough to make it its own game. No huge surprises, and no significant additions to the genre...it's just a solid recreation of the Yoshi's Island elements in a two-screen-high format. It's fun and challenging with a couple of unpolished quirks.''"

-|"''As a stand-alone game, Yoshi's Island DS is an enjoyable platformer. But to compare it to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] classic would be akin to comparing Sean Lennon to his father: expecting him to live up to the walrus would be entirely unrealistic.''"

 *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==
-*The box art shows [[Baby Bowser]] riding Yellow Yoshi, and [[Baby Wario]] riding Light Blue Yoshi; they do not ride these Yoshis in the game other than when Baby Wario is in the final boss fight, however. 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.
