'''''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''''' (frequently referred to simply as '''''Yoshi's Island''''') is a 2D [[Genre#Platform games|platform game]] for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], developed by [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development|Nintendo EAD]]. The game is the prequel to ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and it stars [[Yoshi]] and the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi clan]] who, while carrying [[baby Mario]], travel across [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] to rescue [[baby Luigi]] from [[baby Bowser]] and his [[Magikoopa]] minion/caretaker, [[Kamek]]. Instead of relying on [[jump]]ing and a power-up system for combat as in the traditional ''Super Mario'' platformers, Yoshis use their tongue and eggs to overcome obstacles, as well as the introduction of many other different mechanics. The game is notable for introducing a time-based health system rather than hit points, an anomaly to what many platform games typically did in this game's time period. Rather than relying on powerful pre-rendered graphics just like its contemporary ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' employs a very distinct, stylized arts and crafts style to stand on its own. The game makes use of the Super FX2 graphics chip (one of only four commercially released SNES games to do so), which allows for larger, more detailed sprites and more advanced effects that emulate 3D space.
'''''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''''' is an action [[Genre#Puzzle|puzzle]] game for the [[Nintendo DS]]. It is the fourth game in the ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' series and a follow-up to ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'' Notably, it is also the final ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game released for the console, being released in North America on November 14, 2010, Japan and Taiwan on December 2, 2010, Australia on February 3, 2011, and Europe on February 4, 2011. The base gameplay and objectives of this game are mostly the same as in the previous titles, being centered on bringing all the [[Mini]] toys safely to the goal in each level. However, the gameplay is now focused on tracing paths and bridges for the Minis to use, more so than simply toggling blocks and buttons to determine their path as in the previous games. [[Mini Pauline]] toys make their debut with this game, joining the cast of Minis as the highlight of Mario's new theme park despite appearing late in the game as playable characters.
