Introduction:

Everybody loves Yoshi! And he is here in this fun game, Yoshi's Island.

Story:

Loveable Yoshi is having trouble on his island. Baby Mario fell onto his back, Baby Luigi is missing, and Kamek has sent out plenty of the troops to get Baby Mario. It is up to the Yoshi's to save Baby Luigi and the stork that was carrying both of them.

Gameplay:

The game is easy to play because the controls are very easy to learn. The Yoshi's can jump very high, and they can hover for a while if the jump button is held. They jump even higher if the jump button is held after jumping on an enemy. Their tongues can reach things that is far away and can help when there is a shyguy or something else coming at you. But take heed: some enemies are not as edible as others. His tongue doesn't work on everything. There are also things that don't make much sense to me, but are very helpful. There are bubbles that, when Yoshi jumps into them, turn him into a Yoshi copter that helps yoshi to fly, a Yoshi submarine so he can swim underwater, and a mole like tank thing that digs into the ground. Odd, but helpful.

I give the gameplay: 9/10

Graphics:

The graphics are actually very good for Super Nintendo. For one thing, it at least looks like Yoshi is actually eating whatever it is that is in his mouth. Most games just have people shoving food into their face and it gets smaller until it disappears. Another part of Yoshi's island that proves the graphics are pretty good is the fact that while walking down stairs, Yoshi's feet actually touch each stair while he is walking down. Even Halo for xbox doesn't do that.

I give the graphics: 10/10

Sound:

The sound is pretty good. It's not too exciting, which makes it easier for people to actually play the game rather than feel a rush to go fast because of loud, fast music. I'm also able to enjoy the music. I go onto sites that have downloadable video game music that has Yoshi's Island in it.

I may be a little obsessed with the game, but I think you'll agree!

I give the sound: 9/10

Replayability:

There is a score that you get at the end of the level. It is from 1-100. So when you beat the game, you can go back to the levels and try for the 100 points on each level. After you get all levels to 100 points, there are two extra things you can get in that world. The first one is a bonus game, and the second is a bonus level. So you can just keep replaying the levels!

I give the replayability: 10/10

Challenge:

The game is pretty challenging. There are a lot of enemies that will try to kill you, and some are faster than Yoshi. so you need a quick button finger (or in Yoshi's case, a quick tongue) to beat them and eat them.

I give the challenge: 8/10

Value:

This game is worth every penny. I love this game and, if you buy it, I'm absolutely sure that you will too.

I give the value: 10/10

Overall:

What else can I say but the game is fun and addicting? Oh, yes. It is also awesome.

I give Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island: 10/10

Conclusion:

Yoshi's island is a cool game that is both challenging and fun. Remember: If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em!
