'''''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy''''' ('''''Yoshi's Universal Gravitation''''' in non-American languages) is a title for the [[Game Boy Advance]] developed by [[Artoon]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. The game is one of the few games in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]] to take place in the present relative to the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], as [[Bowser]] appears instead of [[Baby Bowser]]. It was released on December 9th, 2004 in Japan, and localized for other markets four to six months later. This was one of only a few Nintendo games released for Game Boy systems to feature gyroscopic controls built into cartridges, with some others being ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' and ''[[WiKirby:Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble|Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble]]''.
'''''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy''''' (JP: '''''Yoshi no Banyuu Inryoku'''''; EU: '''''Yoshi’s Universal Gravitation''''') is a title for the [[Game Boy Advance]] that was developed by Artoon and published by [[Nintendo]]. It takes place in the present, unlike many other games in the [[Yoshi]] series. This was one of only two GBA games to feature gyroscopic controls, the other being ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', which is usually regarded as being a better example of how such technology can be applied to games.
==Story==
[[Bowser]] and his armies were attacking [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi Island]], causing chaos and disorder to the inhabitants. In response to this, a spirit named [[Hongo]] attempts to seal Bowser and his minions in his book named [[Forbidden Pop-Up Book]] to stop Bowser's destruction, but Hongo fails and accidentally seals the entire island in the book. [[Yoshi]] starts panicking, but a spirit named [[Spirit Who Loves Surprises]] explains to Yoshi that he must talk with Hongo and convince him to bring Yoshi Island back to normal, because spirits do not have enough power to defeat Bowser, who was hiding in a cave at the final chapter of the book, [[The Tale of Bowser's Cave]]. He also says that he was fired because he didn't know how to keep secrets. Yoshi gets mad, and as proof of his apology, the Spirit Who Loves Surprises gives to Yoshi the power to tilt the entire world and explains how to use it, but Yoshi accidentally hits the spirit with a boulder. Yoshi manages to convince Hongo to restore Yoshi Island under the conditions that Yoshi must defeat Bowser, because if he restores Yoshi Island with Bowser, he will attack Yoshi Island again. Now Yoshi must satisfy each one of the [[tiny spirits]]. By doing this, he will receive [[Happiness Medal]]s and the spirits will allow him to battle with Bowser.


Yoshi finds the [[Spirit of Cuteness]], which explains to Yoshi that Bowser attacked [[Eggland]] and transformed every [[Eggling]] into [[Apple|apple]]s. When Yoshi swallows an apple, it is revealed that the apple is really a Eggling. After completing four chapters and satisfying some spirits, Yoshi must complete a level where Bowser tries to attack him; it turns out that the Bowser is actually a fake one being controlled by the Spirit Who Loves Surprises. Yoshi gets mad, but the Spirit Who Love Surprises apologizes and says that he was just testing him to see if he is ready to battle with the real Bowser.  After completing this level, Yoshi must complete two more chapters. When Yoshi has satisfied every spirit of Yoshi Island, he can battle with Bowser.
==Game Play==


After completing the spirits' missions, rescuing the Egglings, and defeating Bowser, the spirits celebrate Yoshi's victory, and Hongo is very grateful for Yoshi's heroism. He makes a meal for Yoshi, but Yoshi still isn't happy. He then uses his magic to bring Yoshi's Island back to normal and Yoshi back to its original state. Yoshi eats the meal with the Egglings, who will never forget Yoshi's deeds. In the end, the Spirit Who Loves Surprises returns to work with Hongo.

''Topsy-Turvy'' proved very different from Yoshi’s other adventures. Although it retained a similar art style and the basic moves from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island]]'', there were three changes made to the formula that set it apart.


==Gameplay==
The biggest addition was the fact that by moving the GBA left or right, the world would tilt accordingly. However, there were only three levels of tilt total: normal, extreme left, and extreme right. Fine tuning of the level of tilt was not present. In a tilted world, walls became slopes, balls rolled, and enemies were affected.
[[File:YTT ss1.png|thumb|left|[[Yoshi]] using his new gravitational powers to move a [[Shy Guy Ship]].]]
[[File:YTT ss2.png|thumb|An in-game screenshot where tilting is used.]]
This is the first ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' and ''Yoshi'' game in which [[gravity]] plays an important role. By tilting the Game Boy Advance left or right, the game world tilts accordingly. There are only three levels of tilt: normal, left, and right. Fine-tuning of the level of tilt was not present. When the world is tilted, Yoshi can walk on walls, and many objects such as [[Ball (Yoshi Topsy-Turvy)|ball]]s and enemies like [[Igashira-kun]]s roll downhill. The player can also make some objects go upside-down by continually changing the tilt direction.


To go to the next area, Yoshi must touch a ring made of stars. If Yoshi touches one, he cannot go back to the previous area because there is no ring to take him there. At the end of the level, Yoshi must touch a large star to win a Happiness Medal and go to the next level. Some areas require Yoshi to transform into a different form to collect items and reach the end of the level.
Also, navigation through a level was also changed. Players now move throughout levels by touching large stars that transport Yoshi. This can lead to potentially frustrating challenges in that if Yoshi touches one, he cannot go back to the previous area because there is no star to take him there.


Depending on what level of the game players are at, the spirit who give the mission and the requirements for finishing the level change. Every level has a task given by one or two spirits, to increase the difficulty.
Finally, depending on what part of the game players were at, the requirements for finishing a level would change. One set of levels has players collecting [[coins]] while another has players defeating a certain number of enemies. One of the strangest of these challenges was where players have a limited number of monsters that they are allowed to defeat before they lose. This was all in an effort to collect Happiness Medals. By collecting a certain amount, players could face off against [[Bowser]] in the final fight.


The game features a Bonus Games mode, in which Shuffle Mode, Shuffle Mode EX, and other [[minigame]]s can be played, as well as an Eggling Book. At the end of every level, there is a [[Bonus Chance!]], which is a chance to play a [[Bonus Mission!]]. If Yoshi completes a Bonus Mission!, he wins 50 [[Coin]]s.
==Critical Reception==
[[Image:YTT_ss2.jpg|thumb|right|240px|A major complaint about the game was that it lacked fine tune tilting, particularily important with the cannons.]]
Unfortunately, while striving to innovate, Nintendo and Artoon ended up producing what is largely regarded as a mediocre title. As of August 8, 2006, the game’s overall review score was 6.2/10 based on Gamerankings.com collection of reviews.


Throughout the game, Yoshi will find various enemies which drain his [[Health Meter|health meter]] if he touches them. Yoshi can swallow [[Heart (item)|heart]]s to restore one point of his health meter; a larger heart completely restores Yoshi's health meter. These enemies play important roles in the game; missions given by the [[Spirit of Power]] involve defeating a certain number of enemies, and missions given by the [[Spirit of Kindness]] involve ''not'' defeating enemies. Unlike in other ''Yoshi'' games, Yoshi produces a small puff of air after eating an enemy instead of making [[Yoshi Egg|eggs]].
IGN.com’s Craig Harris noted that the use of the star portals to change scenes made the game seem rigid as some scenes only lasted for seconds. They also caused the reviewer frustration when used in ways that made it seem like the developers were making sure players learned to pay attention. (5.0/10)


If Yoshi completes the task given by the spirit, he wins a Happiness Medal. If Yoshi completes the level with a much better score than that required, he wins a [[Gold Medal (Yoshi Topsy-Turvy)|Gold Medal]].
Gamespot.com’s Justin Calvert stated that the adventure was fun and clever when it began, but after a while, the graphics, sound, and game play mechanics became repetitive. He also commented that the game was too short. He had little reason to keep playing after meeting the bare requirements for beating the game. (6.6/10)


==Controls==
1up.com’s Jeremy Parish stated that the game felt like it had been designed around the motion sensor, unlike ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' where it felt like the sensor was designed to fit the game. He feels that the game is just a sub-par game with choppy tilt-sensing technology thrown in. (4/10)

==Modes==
After collecting enough of the spirits’ Happiness Medals, Yoshi defeated Bowser and returned his home to its original state.
===Story Mode===
During Story Mode, Yoshi must travel through eight chapters. This includes fifty courses, a mid-boss and [[Bowser]] at the final chapter. In each chapter, a [[tiny spirits|spirit]] will set Yoshi a task. Such tasks can include collecting [[coin]]s, defeating enemies or rescuing trapped [[Eggling]]s from [[Apple]]s. Within the courses, Yoshi must avoid twelve different enemies which will drain Yoshi's health meter upon contact. An empty health meter will cause Yoshi to lose a life. He can swallow hearts to restore his health meter. Yoshi will be rewarded with a [[Happiness Medal]] at the end of a course if he successfully completes the tasks given by the spirits. Gold Happiness Medals are given if Yoshi completes the task to a very high standard.


===Challenge Mode===
==Major Characters==
After completing the game, this mode is unlocked. In this mode, five extra modes can be played when they are unlocked, each through their own specific conditions. The minigames that can be played are:

==Yoshi's transformations==
==Locations==
Throughout the game, Yoshi may transform into a unique object. These transformations are obligatory to complete certain areas and to collect certain items.
[[Yoshi’s Island]] (storybook form)

!Description
|-style="background:#AFFFAA"
|align="center"|[[File:YTT-Yoshi Sprite.png]]
|align="center"|[[Yoshi]]
|Yoshi in his normal form. He can lick up enemies or [[Apple|apple]]s, [[Flutter Jump]], and use [[Gravity|gravity]] to tilt objects around him. He has an eight-point [[Health Meter|health meter]]. If Yoshi runs out of HP, he will lose a life, and if Yoshi runs out of lives, he will get a [[Game Over]].
|-style="background:#ECFFEC"
|align="center"|[[File:YTT-Balloon Yoshi Sprite.png]]
|align="center"|[[Balloon Yoshi]]
|The first transformation encountered. Yoshi will becomes a hot-air balloon and slowly float downward. By tilting the console left or right, he can drift to that corresponding direction. [[Coin]]s, spikes and other obstacles are usually found on the way down.
|-style="background:#AFFFAA"
|align="center"|[[File:YTT-Ship Yoshi Sprite.png]]
|align="center"|[[Ship Yoshi]]
|Yoshi can float above the water and will continually move forward. The water level can be changed by tilting the console left or right. If Yoshi touches the ground and there's no water where he is, he won't be able to move, but if the water touches him he can move again. Getting held back by an object may cause Yoshi to go off-screen and he will lose a life.
|-style="background:#ECFFEC"
|align="center"|[[File:YTT-Ball Yoshi Sprite.png]]
|align="center"|[[Ball Yoshi]]
|Yoshi becomes an invincible bouncy ball. By tilting the console, Ball Yoshi will bounce and move in that direction. If Yoshi comes into contact with a concrete block, it will crack and ultimately break. Touching an enemy in this form will defeat it.
|-style="background:#AFFFAA"
|align="center"|[[File:YTT-Boat Yoshi Sprite.png]]
|align="center"|[[Boat Yoshi]]
|Similar and a little faster than the Ship form, Yoshi turns into a boat. This form has two paddlewheels which turn and allow Yoshi to move. Yoshi can jump using {{button|gba|A}} and the player can change the water level by tilting the console to the left and to the right. Obstacles such as [[Igashira-kun]]s and walls are found along the route Yoshi takes. If he is held back by an obstacle, he will lose a life if he goes off the screen. This transformation is only encountered twice at [[Tale of the Spirit of Fright|Chapter Six]].

==Reception==
''Yoshi's Topsy-Turvy'' received mixed reviews. As of August 8, 2006, the game’s overall review score was 6.2/10 based on {{wp|GameRankings}} collection of reviews.
{{wp|IGN}}'s Craig Harris noted that the use of the star rings to travel through areas made the game seem rigid as some areas only lasted for seconds. He said that the characters were irritating, the storyline was stupid and the gameplay barely resembled other ''Yoshi'' games. They also caused the reviewer frustration when used in ways that made it seem like the developers were making sure players learned to pay attention. He also said that this game is the worst game that Nintendo published to the Game Boy Advance, the tilting concept makes everything feel forcefully clumsy, and that the level design is "all over the quality spectrum, from somewhat challenging to ridiculously stupid". He gave the game a 5/10, or "Mediocre".
 
{{wp|GameSpot}}'s Justin Calvert stated that the adventure was fun and clever when it began, but after a while, the graphics, sounds and gameplay mechanics became repetitive. He said that the game is very short, and that he had little reason to keep playing after meeting the bare requirements for beating the game. He also commented that the areas which require transformations to complete are the most enjoyable in the game. He gave the game a 6.6/10.
 
{{wp|1UP.com}}’s Jeremy Parish stated that the game felt like it had been designed around the motion sensor, unlike ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' where it felt like the sensor was designed to fit the game. He felt that the game was sub-par, with choppy tilt-sensing technology thrown in. He gave the game a 4/10.

|5/10
|align="left"|"''Though Nintendo's the one publisher people can depend on for A+++ titles on the Game Boy Advance, even it isn't immune to producing the occasional clunker. Yoshi Topsy Turvy isn't among the "terrible" batch of GBA titles, but it's certainly the worst game Nintendo's published for the system. The tilt concept most likely looked great in a design document, but in practice the idea makes everything feel forcefully clunky. The level designs are all over the quality spectrum, from somewhat challenging to ridiculously stupid, and as a whole this portable game is not a worthy follow-up to previous Yoshi-headlined platformers.''"

|6.6/10
|align="left"|"''The visuals and audio in Yoshi's Topsy-Turvy are every bit as charming as those in previous Yoshi games, and if it weren't for the fact that they're just as repetitive as the gameplay, they'd be very difficult to fault. Yoshi's Topsy-Turvy, then, is fun to begin with, but it manages to become repetitive long before you finish it--which might take you only five or six hours. For what it's worth, the game's difficulty curve is nigh perfect, and after breezing through the early chapters, you'll almost certainly struggle to beat some of the later courses on your first couple of attempts. It's not a bad game by any means; it's just a repetitive and disappointingly short one.''"

|2/5
|align="left"|"''It's a shame that Topsy-Turvy feels so bland, because there are some solid ideas underneath the dull stages and poorly implemented technology. Maybe if there's a sequel, we'll see some improvements, but for right now, it looks like motion sensors are better suited for micro-games than platformers.''"
