Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island was the second game in the Super Mario World series, and the first game to star Yoshi. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island was later re-released for the Game Boy Advance under the title Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island. A heavily-criticized sequel, Yoshi 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.

Yoshi and several of the monsters of Yoshi's Island. Counter Clockwise from top:Toady, Grinder, Lakitu, Gusty, Needlenose bouncing on a cactus, Piranha Plant, Crazee Dayzee, Goomba, Shy Guy, Huffin Puffin, Little Skull Mouser, Burt, Raven, Paratroopa, Boo, Goonie, and an everyday Flower (which, unlike Dizzy Dandy, is not an enemy)

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.
