'''''Yoshi's Island'''''<ref name="SMPYIseries"/> is a video game series in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]]. It is a series of 2D side-scrolling platformers starring [[Yoshi]], who has the unique ability to throw eggs to defeat enemies. The games generally feature a colorful, storybook-like art style. The games function as prequels to the present era of the [[Super Mario (franchise)| ''Super Mario'' franchise]], as they are set in the infancy of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], where the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] must work to save [[Baby Mario]] and others, including [[Baby Luigi]], from the machinations of [[Kamek]] and [[Baby Bowser]]. Indeed, the defining trait of the series is that the controlled Yoshi carries a baby character, who ends in a bubble when the former is hurt. When this happens, Yoshi has a set number of seconds to rescue Baby Mario, which can be increased in various ways.<ref name="SMPYIseries">{{file link|SMP Yoshi's Island opt.png|Description of the Yoshi's Island series on the ''Super Mario Pia''}}.

This heart-pounding system where you must quickly rescue [Baby Mario] is fun!''</ref> The series is primarily developed by [[Nintendo EAD]], with some games being developed by [[Artoon]] or other companies. The series began with a home console title, but switched to a focus on handheld entries with ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''.
