It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is the first game to star Yoshi, and the first game chronologically in the entire Mario series. The game was later re-released for the Game Boy Advance under the title Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island. A heavily-criticized sequel, Yoshi's Story, was released for the Nintendo 64, and a Nintendo DS sequel named Yoshi's Island DS was also released. Yoshi's Island is the first game to feature Mario as a baby.
Plot
One night, The Stork was carrying two babies across the sky. These two babies were Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, the future heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom. Suddenly, a strange figure, Kamek the Magikoopa, flew by on his broomstick and hit the stork. He snatched Baby Luigi, but the other baby fell down towards the ocean. When Kamek discovered his mistake, he sent his Toadies to find and capture the missing baby.
Meanwhile, the other baby, Baby Mario, had fallen on Yoshi's Island on top of a Yoshi. Along with the baby fell a map, but the Yoshi could not make sense of it. He consulted his other Yoshi friends and told him what had happened. After some talking, the green Yoshi found out what the baby really wanted – he wanted to save his brother from Kamek. So the Yoshis decided to help the baby and they set out on an adventure to rescue Baby Luigi from Kamek and his Toadies.

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 Mario are shrunk; he then eats them and the battle is located in his stomach.

Trivia
- In the Super Mario-Kun adaptation of this game, Adult Mario and Adult Luigi go to the past with Adult Bowser by mistake. They stop Kamek from kidnapping Baby Mario and help Yoshi reunite the Baby Bros. But, in the Donkey Kong Country adaptation of Super Mario-kun, it is revealed Yoshi does not remember anything about any Adults here and nothing about the Baby Mario tantrums.
- The game was placed 18th in the 100th issue of Nintendo Power's "100 best Nintendo games of all time" in 1997.[1]
- While the English version is called "Super Mario World 2," the original Japanese title is "Super Mario: Yoshi's Island." This was to draw a connection to Nintendo's earlier SNES success, Super Mario World. However, this also generated a lot of confusion as to whether to call it a sequel or not, even if it is clearly a prequel to the entire series. Similarly, Super Mario World was also known as Super Mario Bros. 4 in Japan.
- The Music when the player gets a starman has more of a tropical theme.
- The music for World 6 map is a stripped down version of the music that plays when the maps of the other 5 worlds are complete. Also, the music that plays in most areas of World 6 is the underground music.
- The game places 185th in the 200th Issue of GameInformer's "Top 200 Games of All Times", the lowest ranked Mario Series game.
