'''''Yoshi's Island DS''''' is a 2D [[Genre#Platform|platformer]] for the [[Nintendo DS]] in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series. It is the sequel to ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where [[Kamek]] and the [[Toady|Toadies]] have kidnapped all the babies in the world in search for the [[star children]], a group of seven babies who possess powerful stars in their hearts. While the game is heavily derivative from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', including general gameplay, themes, and graphics, the game primarily differentiates itself from its predecessor by taking advantage of the Nintendo DS's dual screen to display levels while introducing multiple babies to carry on [[Yoshi]]'s back, who all have special abilities that are required to complete levels. Aside from carrying [[Baby Mario]], Yoshis can additionally carry [[Baby Peach]], [[Baby Donkey Kong|Baby DK]], [[Baby Wario]], and [[Baby Bowser]]; Baby DK and Baby Wario make their overall debut in this game. Unlike ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', ''Yoshi's Island DS'' was developed by a third party studio, [[Artoon]], rather than in-house from [[Nintendo EAD]].
'''''Yoshi's Island DS''''' is a 2D [[Genre#Platform|platformer]] developed by [[Artoon]] for the [[Nintendo DS]]. The second original installment in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series, the game was released in North America on November 13, 2006, in Australia on November 23, 2006, in Europe on December 1, 2006, in Japan and Taiwan on March 8, 2007, and in South Korea on November 8, 2007. It is the sequel to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] game ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and tells the story of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s rescuing all the babies in the world that [[Kamek]] and the [[Toady|Toadies]] have kidnapped in search for the [[star children]], a group of seven babies who possess powerful stars in their hearts. This is the first ''Yoshi's Island'' game to be developed by a third party studio, rather than in-house from [[Nintendo EAD]], unlike previous games such as ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and its [[Reissue#Enhanced ports|enhanced]] [[Game Boy Advance]] port, ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''.

A third original game, ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', was released in 2014 for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and continues the story told before ''Yoshi's Island DS''. The game was rereleased for the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in North America on April 1, 2015, in Japan on April 8, 2015, in Europe on May 7, 2015, and in Australia on May 8, 2015.


''Yoshi's Island DS'' was rereleased for the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in Japan and North America in April 2015 and in Europe and Australia in May 2015.

It is then revealed that the seven star children are Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby DK, Baby Wario, Baby Bowser, and a newborn Baby Yoshi, who hatches from a [[Yoshi's Egg]] at the end of the game.


==Modes==
==Gameplay==
[[File:YIDSmenu.png|thumb|The title screen is similar to that of the original game ''Yoshi's Island''.]]
Gameplay typically consists of platforming throughout the game's levels, where a Yoshi needs to navigate through the various obstacles in order to reach the [[Goal Ring|Goal roulette]]. Yoshis have various means of dealing with the obstacles, with basic actions being running, [[jump]]ing either to dodge obstacles or defeat enemies, and [[Ground Pound]]ing harder to defeat enemies or [[stump|post]]s. Yoshis can [[Flutter Jump]] repeatedly in the air to increase distance and slow down descent speed. Unique to Yoshis and their primary method of dealing with enemies and obstacles are their extendable, sticky tongues, which allows them to swallow most enemies and turn them into essential, versatile projectiles: [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Eggs]]. Eggs have a wide variety of purposes, whether they activate [[Winged Cloud]]s, defeat enemies that cannot be eaten or stomped on, open up traps and obstacles, retrieve coins, reveal hidden Winged Clouds, and more. Eggs by default come in green, changes color when bouncing off walls and the color indicates how many times eggs bounce off walls before they are destroyed. Green eggs can bounce off walls three times, [[Yellow Egg]]s two, and [[Red Egg]]s instantly get destroyed when they touch a wall. If a Yellow or Red Egg hits an enemy, it spawns [[coin]]s or a [[Star (Yoshi's Island series)|star]] respectively. Yoshis can retrieve bounced eggs by using their tongue at them before they get destroyed, though some items such as colored [[Egg Block]]s can give Yoshis different colored eggs. Yoshis can carry up to six eggs, and eggs get discarded if a Yoshi creates more eggs. In addition, Yoshis can obtain eggs by hitting Egg Blocks or retrieving them from [[Egg Plant]]s.
===Adventure===
Gameplay mainly revolves around adventure mode, similarly played out as the original. Throughout the five unique worlds, a different colored Yoshi takes on one out of eight levels, with a mini-boss in Level 4 and a boss in Level 8 of each world. Enemies, items, coins, and other collectibles litter the levels. Some items count toward a score of 100, which is then displayed in the level select screen. If every level in a world has 100, one level, the extra course, is unlocked.


When a Yoshi is hit by an enemy, the baby is knocked loose from his back crying, and the [[star (Yoshi's Island series)|star]] power - the source of the protective bubble that keeps the Toadies from taking the baby - goes down by one star per second. If that number goes down to zero, Toadies take away the baby and a life is lost. Yoshi, however, still has a small amount of time to recover the baby even after the Toadies have grabbed. Yoshi can rescue the baby by touching the bubble with its body or its tongue. If Yoshi hits the bubble with an egg, the bubble gets knocked down, making the baby easier to reach. The star power starts at ten in each level. If a baby is recovered with less than ten stars, the star power slowly reverts to ten. Additionally, groups of five stars can be found in [[Winged Cloud]]s and [[crate]]s, and [[Goal Ring|goal roulette]]s give twenty additional star power, allowing the star power to max at thirty. Remaining star power also counts toward the score at the completion of the level.
''Yoshi's Island DS'' retains the health system in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. When a Yoshi is hit by an enemy or an obstacle, the baby is knocked loose from his back, crying, and the [[star (Yoshi's Island series)|star]] power–the source of the protective bubble that keeps the Toadies from taking the baby–goes down by one star per second. If that number goes down to zero, Toadies take away the baby and a life is lost. The Yoshi, however, still has a small amount of time to recover the baby even after the Toadies have grabbed. The Yoshi can rescue the baby by touching the bubble with its body or its tongue. If the Yoshi hits the bubble with an egg, the bubble gets knocked down, making the baby easier to reach. The star power starts at ten in each level. If a baby is recovered with less than ten stars, the star power slowly increases to ten. Additionally, groups of five stars can be found in [[Winged Cloud]]s and [[crate]]s, and [[Goal Ring|goal roulette]]s give twenty additional star power, allowing the star power to max at thirty. Remaining star power also counts toward the score at the completion of the level. Although Yoshis cannot be defeated in normal circumstances, they instantly lose a life if they touch [[Spike (obstacle)|spike]]s, [[lava]], fall into bottomless [[pit]]s, get crushed, or eaten by [[Lunge Fish]] or [[Cheep Chomp|Boss Basses]].
 
Although Yoshi cannot be defeated in normal circumstances, he instantly loses a life if he touches [[Spike (obstacle)|spike]]s, [[lava]], falls into bottomless [[pit]]s, or gets crushed. The mode also features the [[Island Museum]], which is accessible at any time. In this museum, all the enemies [[Yoshi (species)|the Yoshis]] have defeated with [[Yoshi's Egg]]s appear as exhibits.
 
===Minigames===
[[Minigames]] are unlocked in Adventure Mode:
*[[Tulip Shooter]] - Yoshi must grab and spit enemies into a tulip.
*[[Flutter Challenge]] - Yoshi must try to flutter-jump as far as possible.
*[[Bouncy Maze]] - Yoshi must maneuver his way through a simple maze of [[Bouncy|Bouncie]]s.
*[[Speed-Eater]] - Yoshi must try to swallow as many enemies as possible.
*[[Egg Toss]] - Yoshi must hit targets with [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s.
All minigames have a set time limit. Achieving a high score in any minigame awards Yoshi with lives. Harder versions of all the minigames can be unlocked by collecting all the [[character coin]]s in a world.


===Time Trial===
New to ''Yoshi's Island DS'' is the addition of extra babies and [[Stork Stop]]s, who affect the gameplay in various ways. By default, Yoshis carry Baby Mario, who retains gameplay most similar to the original entry and allows Yoshis to hit [[M Block]]s. At Stork Stops, Yoshis can swap out babies once they have been unlocked. Carrying [[Baby Peach]], for example, allows Yoshis to flutter jump further and ride winds thanks to the use of her parasol while [[Baby DK]] allows Yoshis to climb vines, explode eggs, and use the [[DK Dash Attack]] to charge through rocks and enemies; however, Baby Peach causes a Yoshi to lose the ability to bounce eggs while Baby DK is heavier to carry and thus reduces flutter jump distance.
Time Trial is unlocked once Adventure Mode has been beaten. It is similar to Adventure Mode, but the player is timed. Yoshi has one hundred minutes to finish each level - even when the player presses the Start Button, the time continues. [[Red Coin|Red coin]]s, [[Smiley Flower|flower]]s and [[star (Yoshi's Island series)|star]]s, when collected, each subtract a set amount of time taken to finish the level: -1 second per star, -2 seconds per red coin, and -10 seconds per flower.

===Forms===
===Minigames===
A Yoshi can morph into several different types of vehicle with the help of a [[morph bubble]]. To revert to normal, the Yoshi must either touch a [[Yoshi Block]] or wait until the time runs out, as the forms last only for a certain period of time. The Yoshi, however, must touch the Yoshi Block to progress the level; otherwise, he is directed back to the morph bubble. While Baby Mario stays protected in a bubble, Yoshi is also invincible while in these forms, but if he is hit, he is stunned and knocked into a certain direction, making him lose time. Yoshi also cannot attack in these form.
[[Minigames]] are unlocked in Adventure Mode:
*[[Tulip Shooter]] - Yoshi must grab and spit enemies into a tulip.
*[[Flutter Challenge]] - Yoshi must try to flutter-jump as far as possible.
*[[Bouncy Maze]] - Yoshi must maneuver his way through a simple maze of [[Bouncy|Bouncie]]s.  
*[[Speed-Eater]] - Yoshi must try to swallow as many enemies as possible.
*[[Egg Toss]] - Yoshi must hit targets with [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s.
All minigames have a set time limit. Achieving a high score in any minigame awards Yoshi with lives. Harder versions of all the minigames can be unlocked by collecting all the [[character coin]]s in a world.

Time Trial is unlocked once Adventure Mode has been beaten. It is similar to Adventure Mode, but the player is timed.

[[Red Coin|Red coin]]s, [[Smiley Flower|flower]]s and [[star (Yoshi's Island series)|star]]s, when collected, each subtract a set amount of time taken to finish the level: -1 second per star, -2 seconds per red coin, and -10 seconds per flower.
 
===Island Musuem===
Accessible in Adventure mode, the [[Island Museum]] is a live bestiary of the enemies in the game. Any enemies hit by [[Yoshi's Egg]]s appear in exhibits and are organized by the class they are in (eg, many water-based enemies appear in the aquatic-based exhibit).


There are three forms:
==Worlds and levels==
{|cellspacing=0 width=100% border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse;"
The level selection of the game is heavily inspired from the original, where throughout the five worlds, a different colored Yoshi takes on one out of eight levels, with a mid-boss in the fourth level and the world boss in the eighth level. Levels contain multiple features; various items such as [[Smiley Flower|flowers]], [[Red Coin]]s, and [[Star (Yoshi's Island series)|stars]] are required towards 100% completion, unlocking extra levels and are found throughout all levels in the game while other items and features are found in specific levels such as [[key]]s and [[Egg Plant]]s. If all normal levels are cleared, the secret course is unlocked. If every level in a world has 100% adding to a total of 800, the extra course is unlocked.

==Yoshi's abilities==
===Morph Yoshi===
A Yoshi can morph into several different types of vehicle with the help of a [[morph bubble]]. To revert to normal, the Yoshi must either touch a [[Yoshi Block]] or wait until the time runs out, as the forms last only for a certain period of time. The Yoshi, however, must touch the Yoshi Block to progress the level; otherwise, he is directed back to the morph bubble. While Baby Mario stays protected in a bubble, Yoshi is also invincible while in these forms, but if he is hit, he is stunned and knocked into a certain direction, making him lose time. Yoshi also cannot attack in these form.

==Bonus Challenges==
Any [[Smiley Flower|flower]]s the player collects in a level appears in the [[Goal Ring|goal roulette]] at the end of a level. After a Yoshi passes through the ring, the spinning slows. If it stops on a flower, the Yoshi is able to play a mini-game and can possibly earn 1-Ups. There are five different flowers in each level.

These are the Mini-games that may pop up if a Yoshi is able to get a flower in the goal roulette. They can also be played via the World Map screen if the player obtains a total of at least 700 points in a world.

The Shy Guy stays on Yoshi's back until he grabs Baby Mario back from the Bandit.
*In both [[Watch Out For Lakitu]] and [[Spear Guys' Village Found!]], an [[Itsunomanika Heihō]] can be encountered in a bush just before the [[Goal Ring|goal roulette]].

*There is a giant golden [[Tap-Tap]] in a possible path in [[Bowser's Castle]].
*Multiple similarities exist with the final normal levels of each game:
*The first part of each final battle is against [[Baby Bowser]], who creates shockwaves as an attack, and the last is against a giant version of [[Bowser]], age unconsidered, who uses falling boulders and fireballs as attacks. Also, both final final battles require the use of [[Giant Egg]]s carried into the field by [[Item Balloon]]s, and Bowser's castle is destroyed during the transition to the final phase of both battles.
**The final level is set in [[Bowser's Castle]], and is explored by Green Yoshi instead of Blue Yoshi.

**Both levels start outside the castle walls and require Yoshi to clear through a flock of [[Skeleton Goonie]]s and use an aircraft-themed power to get inside.
**Both levels require Yoshi to choose one of several different pathways, each with their own gimmick.
**One path requires Yoshi to flee from a giant golden [[Tap-Tap]] in a volcanic cavern.

*Early screenshots showcasing a battle with [[Big Guy the Stilted]] seemed to suggest that Big Guy was once going to be organic, as he had no patches on him in that picture (although one patch is visible near his right foot, which may mean his graphics were slightly incomplete).

*The box art shows [[Baby Bowser]] riding Yellow Yoshi, and [[Baby Wario]] riding Light Blue Yoshi; they do not ride these Yoshis in the game other than when Baby Wario is in the final boss fight, however. This is because the babies are only playable in the last four levels on the world map, as opposed to the Yoshis they ride, which are in the first four.

*The instruction booklet erroneously states [[Baby Donkey Kong]] is the only baby with more than one special ability, as [[Baby Mario]] has three abilities.
