Yoshi's Story
Yoshi's Story is the sequel to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island released for the Nintendo 64. The game was not popular because of its childish content and cheerful and cute pictures and design.
Baby Bowser has turned Yoshi's Island into a picture book and has stolen the Super Happy Tree, and six baby Yoshis must venture through 6 "pages" of the island before they can confront him. All the levels are made of some kind of material (clay, denim, cardboard, newspaper, ect.) and have their own distinct style. The enemies range from Shy Guys to bizarre creatures a kid would think up. The puzzles are fairly simple, and the obstacles can be fun if not difficult. Most of the levels songs are versions of the main theme, just remixed to fit the atmosphere.
Although the game is not popular, a stage based on it was used in the Super Smash Bros. series. It has been used in both Smash Bros. games, however it is unknown if that stage will return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Beta Version
Like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Paper Mario, many beta version screenshots were released for Yoshi's Story. Many changes were done before the final version. Stage 4-2: Jungle Puddle was eerie, with many giant bubbles and even a Bone Dragon. The Bone Dragons themselves weren't bony, but purple with scales. Also, a working name for Yoshi's Story was Yoshi's Island 64, as many game titles on this system ended in the number sixty-four. These are just some of the many differences.
Official Artwork & Screenshots
Strangely enough, at the time of popularity there were many screenshots of the beta version and tons of official artwork of almost every enemy in the game. Yet, upon loss of popularity, the artwork and screenshots have all but vanished. As such, it is very rare to come across the artwork for Yoshi's Story. Sadly, the remaining artwork is of poor quality, unlike during popularity. An incomplete list of the vanished enemy artwork includes:
- Air Bag
- Black Shy Guy
- Bob-omb
- Flying Shy Guy (Sprite Found)
- Message Block
- Nipper Plant
- Nipper Spore
- Pogo Guy
