Sûpâ Mario: Yosshî Airando

Yoshi's Island is not as good as the previous game (Super Mario World). This mainly because instead of playing as Mario you play as Yoshi. Graphics are pretty standard and game play is okay. The various levels are not that difficult, so the game shouldn't take long to beat. The game is worth playing, but I prefer Super Mario World.

This game pits you as Yoshi, who made his debut in the previous Mario game, Super Mario World, which was one of the SNES's first games. This time, you must guide Baby Mario to his brother, who has been kidnapped by the evil Kamek.

The action takes place over six worlds, each comprising eight stages, plus two mystery stages that can only be accessed when all eight of the main stages have been completed with a perfect score of 100 (see below).

Loads of baddies exist. There are some familiar ones, such as Koopa turtles, Boo Diddlies, Lakitu and Goomba, as well as new ones such as Milde, Goonies and a different kind of Piranha Plant. As well as jumping on the smaller ones as per the previous games (and using shells exactly as before), you can also swallow baddies to make eggs to throw at other baddies and power-ups etc..

You collect coins as normal, with every 100 giving you an extra life, but as well as that, twenty red coins exist (most are disguised as yellow coins). You can also collect five flowers in each stage (if you can find them), which will give you an extra life if you get them all.

If Yoshi gets hit, Mario gets knocked off his back, and he has a limited amount of time to get him back on his back before Kamek's Toadies kidnap him, costing you a life. This timer normally starts at ten, but can be increased via power-ups and collecting stars.

When you reach the Goal at the end of each stage, your score for that stage is based on the number of stars you have (i.e., the level of the aforementioned timer, which has a maximum of 30), how many red coins you found, and how many flowers you picked up (each flower gives you ten points). If you have all 30 stars, all 20 red coins and all five flowers, you get a perfect score of 100 for that stage.

This game is brilliant, from the sumptuous graphics (with the obligatory Mode 7, particularly on the bosses) to the wonderful sound, and the gameplay is so slick and varied that even if you have Super Mario World, this is different enough to warrant a purchase. It's also quite challenging at times, particularly the bonus stages I mentioned earlier.

I love the Super Mario games, especially 3, Mario Land 2, and this one, the prequel to all the Mario games. The music is pretty cool and I love the cave levels and the way they look. Not too hard, but there are some difficult areas. The ending is especially satisfying cause it's Mario's biggest challenge. ***** out of *****. Here's my reviews of he the other Mario games(That i've played.)Super Mario Bros. ****, Super Mario Bros. 2 ****1/2, Super Mario Bros. 3 *****, Super Mario Land ***1/2, Super Mario Land 2 *****, Warioland: Super Mario Land 3 ****, Donkey Kong ****, Super Mario Kart ****, Mario Kart 64 ****1/2, Super Mario 64 ****1/2, Super Mario World ****1/2, and Mario's Time machine ***1/2.

Yoshi's Island is one of those games that tricks you. You look at the pastel crayon visuals, the cutesy music, the baby protagonist, and you think, "Ah, this will be a gentle, relaxing ride." Then the gameplay slaps you with flying monkeys, lava monsters, and that horrifying crying sound that echoes through your soul every time Baby Mario floats away in a bubble.

The core concept is bizarre but brilliant. You play as a line of heroic Yoshis passing around a helpless infant like a scaly green relay team. Baby Mario doesn't do much except wail like a car alarm, but Yoshi does everything else: ground-pounding, flutter-jumping, and turning enemies into eggs like some kind of adorable bio-weapon specialist.

The game shines with its creativity. Each level feels like it was dreamed up by an over-caffeinated artist with access to crayons and nightmares. There's a boss fight inside a giant frog's stomach. There's a level where everything is spinning. There are transformations. There's that awful monkey water level. It's chaos, but the kind that makes you smile through clenched teeth.

The art style is still gorgeous today. That hand-drawn aesthetic hasn't aged a day. It's like a children's book that someone threw into a blender with a Super Nintendo and a handful of sugar.

Sure, it's not as tight or polished as the original Super Mario World, and yes, Baby Mario's scream still haunts many childhood memories. But this game takes risks and has fun doing it.

8/10. Beautiful, bonkers, and occasionally stressful in a very specific diaper-wearing way.
