Template:Infobox Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is the first game to star Yoshi, and the first game chronologically in the entire Mario series. Created for the Super Nintendo, the game features Yoshi and Baby Mario, in his debut, traveling across Yoshi's Island in search for the kidnapped Baby Luigi.

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 as well, and a Nintendo DS sequel named Yoshi's Island DS was also released.

Plot

Yoshi and several of the monsters of Yoshi's Island.

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.

Enemies

Enemies marked with * are exclusive to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and the Game Boy Advance remake. 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 Mario are shrunk; he then eats them and the battle is located in his stomach.

Release

Trivia

  • In the Super Mario-Kun adaptation of this game, Mario and Luigi go to the past with 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.[2]
  • 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 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.
  • The athletic and overworld music of this game returns as a music remix for the Yoshi's Island stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
    • Additionally, one part of the athletic remix is the music played before giant Baby Bowser is battled, right after he transforms.
