'''''Yoshi's New Island''''' is a title for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], released on March 14, 2014, in North America and Europe, and  released in Australia on March 15, 2014. It is also scheduled for a summer 2014 release in Japan. It is the third game in the [[Yoshi (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]].

==Story==
After the events of ''Yoshi's Island'', the couple to whom the [[Stork]] gave [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] allege that the brothers are not their babies. It goes on searching for the real parents, when it finds [[Kamek]] wanting to steal the babies once more. Again, he proceeds to take only Baby Luigi away, and Baby Mario falls on the nearby [[Egg Island]]. He is found by a group of [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] who decide to take him to his brother and defeat [[Baby Bowser]], since he is planning to turn Egg Island into his vacation home.

After defeating both Baby Bowser and his [[Bowser|older self]], Egg Island is saved, and Baby Luigi is rescued. The Stork proceeds to take the brothers to fulfill his job of sending them to the correct parents. After the Stork gets there, this [[Mama Mario|cou]][[Papa|ple]] confirms that Mario and Luigi are indeed their children. After this, [[Mr. Pipe]] is seen; it [[Mario|reveals its true identity]] and vanishes.

==Gameplay==
''Yoshi's New Island'' is a [[Genre#Platformer|platform game]] which plays the same in style as its predecessors, ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Much of the scenery and moves from the game are similar, as well.

The main addition to gameplay is the ability to swallow extremely large enemies and turn them into colossal eggs called [[Mega Eggdozer]]s, which are bigger than Giant Eggs. When thrown, they function similarly to [[Mega Mushroom]]s, wrecking everything in their path, the accumulating damage filling a meter that can provide Yoshi with up to three extra lives. Poochy is also present and is able to walk on hazardous obstacles as before.

==Transformations==
Upon entering a [[Whirly Gate]], the Yoshi is led to a course and transforms into different things. Once he is transformed, he must go through a small course that uses the new ability, while watching out for the [[Time Limit|timer]] and collecting clocks to replenish it. At the end of the section, there is one or more rings that, if touched, Yoshi turns back to normal and leaves the place. The following are the forms Yoshi can take in the game (Transformations marked with an asterisk return from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's New Island''):
