    It may be named Super Mario World 2, but it's not actually a sequel, more of a prequel. In fact it's really the first Yoshi game. Our green dino friend adventures on his island protecting baby Mario from enemies galore. Now how does Yoshi defend this child from koopas? By sniping them of course! I never thought I'd be playing a Mario game where the primary mechanic was aiming. Throwing eggs and collecting the massive amount of collectibles in this game is still fun to this day. And let's not forget about that classic Yoshi's Island theme!

      ShadwSonic I guess that’s why Nintendo gave Baby Wario less than a few appearances.
      Plus Baby Bowser was much less annoying in Partners in Time (even though there, he did bear a strong resemblance to Bowser Jr.) than in Yoshi’s Island DS (which if I could give it credit where credit is due, not only does it have Baby Donkey Kong, its visuals are 2D and capture the style of the original Yoshi’s Island more than Yoshi’s Island DS because of its CGd, uncreative visuals).

      The soundtrack in SMW2 is incredibly underrated, yet ExoParadigmGamer unfortunately said that it sounded too much like a Saturday Morning carton for its own good, but it does so in a way that makes the game a highlight along with its graphics, Yoshis and levels!

      @dontstealmydiamondsv3156 Před 3 lety +4

      Unfortunately, there's only around 10 of them, and you'll be hearing about half that for most of the game. Just reusing the same small handful of level themes means they'll inevitably start to feel repetitive, regardless of quality.
      I wish they could have managed just a few more songs to use, but to be fair I don't know the circumstances around the game's development. Still, it just doesn't seem right to start up 6-1 with its foreboding theme shift only to hear that the song is just the cave theme.

    It was such a coincidence that you put out this episode while I was in the middle of completing this game myself. I found the GBA version and I was so happy and excited since I hadn't played it in so long, I was craving this excellent game again. I just now recently completed it myself and checked out the episode (Okay, I did take a huge break. I get busy, ya know? It just makes me appreciate the absurd job that Jirard has more though, since it took so much for me to complete this game).
    Those last couple of levels were legit hard, which is why I enjoy trying to complete this game, as it feels a bit too easy otherwise. It's got a bunch of content, but completing adds more as well. I do enjoy that completing it adds more challenge, as this game drowns you in far too many lives. You even unlock the ability to replay the bonus levels, which can give you however many lives and items you want. That seems a bit much.
    Also, I'm pretty sure completing this game does more than just give you a new title screen though? I just completed it myself, and it gave me a cutscene for perfecting every world and it told me what number Yoshi I was (basically how many lives I needed to do it). It even keeps that Yoshi number on my file. Who knows? Maybe it'll update it if you complete it again with fewer lives needed.

    This game is my childhood. I played it all the time on my advanced. Even when I got the DS I still played it religiously. I can’t even count the number of times I played it all the way through. It never felt stale or boring - I loved it every time I played it. Even the DS sequel was pretty good!! But it didn’t compare to the first Yoshi’s Island. I even loved Yoshi’s Wooly World and that game was the sole reason I got the WiiU. Yoshi’s Island will always have a special place in my heart. 🤍🥰 I got so excited when I saw this video because I got flashbacks to the good part of my childhood. It was the first video game I was given to, as I wasn’t allowed to play video games - but my grandma still bought it for me - which let my guardians (my great aunt and uncle) see that video games are something that aren’t that bad and that Singtel game opened up my experiences to the video gaming world. Without it, my parents wouldn’t have bought me my DS, my GameCube, my PS3, etc. Thank you Yoshi’s Island for bringing me joy in a rough childhood of bullying and living in a small town hick town.

    I think my favorite part of it, is NO time limit in each level!

They knew exactly how to maximize the Ones with the Super FX 2 chip...a masterpiece follow by Yoshi's games that cannot compete with this....Amazing Video sir...keep it up

I love everything about this game, other than Samus, Link, or Mario, Yoshi is my favorite Nintendo character thanks to this game. I love the cartoon aspect to this game; the gameplay, the bosses, and especially the music i love it all. I teared up when seeing the beginning music that brings precious memories to me i hold dear to my heart. It's a great game i always play again and again time after time.

    As someone who 100%ed the main levels (not extra or secret) I felt that the main levels weren't too difficult to do so. The game's art style (especially the music) are a charm to look at and listen to every time I turn on the game. I would personally rate it a "Finnaplete it" to complete the main levels, but not the extras.

    Oh my god! Jirard actually reviewed my favorite Nintendo game of all time! :D Thank you so much for this!
    I have such vivid memories of my dad and sisters playing this when I was like 2 or 3 years old, and I became instantly hooked when I was old enough to play, and honestly, this game is probably the reason I have such a love for video games even to this day; over 20 years later. Sadly, our SNES died back in 2007, just before I could beat the last few levels, and then 11 years later, my boyfriend gifted me with the mini SNES for Christmas, which included Yoshi's Island! I was in tears when the original title card played on my screen.
    Thank you so much, Jirard, absolutely with all my heart, thank you. This means so much to me :))) Keep up the awesome work!

    Yoshi games seems to always have had that "easy to just play through, but challenging if you go for everything" (like Super Mario) style. They are also in the category of "effective against crap days".

Incidentally, before Star Fox 2 was released in the SNES Classic, Yoshi's Island was a common donor cart for Star Fox 2 reproduction carts, because no other game has the Super FX2 chip besides Doom.
