Gameplay
- Main article: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island § Gameplay
Controls
The player moves Yoshi by using the Game Boy Advance's 
. Holding the up arrow on the makes Yoshi look into the air, causing the screen to move up slightly. Holding the down arrow makes Yoshi crouch and if the screen has been moved up it will bring it down again. Using 
makes Yoshi jump and holding it makes him Flutter Jump. 
causes Yoshi to use his tongue to eat enemies, when an enemy is in Yoshi's mouth pressing again makes him spit the enemy out and pressing down on makes him swallow the enemy and create an egg. When Yoshi has an egg pressing 
causes a target crosshair to come up, pressing again makes Yoshi throw the egg, whilst pressing 
makes the crosshair lock in place and pressing cancels the crosshair. Pressing 
brings up the pause menu and pressing

Allies/Friends
Enemies
Italic enemies are invincible, and Bold enemies are almost invincible (can be defeated under certain conditions).
Bosses
Each world features a midway fort and an end-world castle, both with their own boss. Every boss is just an enlarged version of a basic enemy that Kamek super-sizes with his magic. The only exception is Prince Froggy, who remains at his normal size while Yoshi and Baby Mario are shrunk; he then eats them and the battle is located in his stomach.
- World 1
- World 2
- Bigger Boo (Fort)
- Roger the Potted Ghost (Castle)
- World 3
- Prince Froggy (Fort)
- Naval Piranha (Castle)
- World 4
- Marching Milde (Fort)
- Hookbill the Koopa (Castle)
- World 5
- Sluggy the Unshaven (Fort)
- Raphael the Raven (Castle)
- World 6
- Tap-Tap the Red Nose (Fort)
- Tap-Tap the Golden (Castle, Door 3)
- Baby Bowser (Castle)
- He is then transformed into a giant Baby Bowser by Kamek for the true final boss battle.
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
and 
buttons) to , , , , (while holding the button). The 2-Player option was also removed due to a link cable battle being only featured in the Mario Bros. remake. - The Countdown Timer ticks down each second now, instead of nearly twice per second as in the original game.
Level design changes
- 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.
- Six entirely new levels were added to 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.
- The final level of the game had its name changed from "Castles - Masterpiece Set" to "Ultimate Castle Challenge".
Graphical changes
- 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.
Sound changes
- The game's soundtrack was downgraded to match the Game Boy Advance's sound capabilities.
- The full length opening of the World x-8 boss music plays for all big bosses, rather than for just the Naval Piranha and Raphael the Raven.
- In World 6-8, when being chased by Tap-Tap the Golden, the "path to the boss" music is played, rather than the World x-8 boss music.
- Several sounds in the original were replaced by sound clips similar to the ones heard in Yoshi's Story - most notably the Shy Guys' and Yoshis' voices.
- When Yoshi jumps, flutter jumps, crouches, or throws an egg, he will make sounds instead of staying silent.
Textual 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!" in the original, and "Welcome!!! Yoshi, if you would be so kind, please HAND OVER THE BABY!" in the remake.
- The GBA version's credits are shorter than the original, and list different staff members. As this is a remake, the credits list "Original YI Staff" under "Special Thanks"; it should be noted, however, that very few of the SNES version's staff members actually contributed to the remake. Notably, 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. Not even Shigeru Miyamoto is credited in the remake; Takashi Tezuka, one of the original game's directors, assumed producer duties in his stead.
Reception
The game received generally positive reviews. It sold 1.6 million copies in the US and was re-released in 2006 as a player's choice title.
