Template:Articleabout Template:Infobox Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, titled Super Mario: Yossy Island (スーパーマリオ　ヨッシーアイランド Sūpā Mario: Yosshī Airando) in Japan, is a video game developed by the Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development division for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995. It is the first video game to take place in the Mario series chronology. Although its English title suggests that it was intended to be a sequel to the 1991 video game Super Mario World, it is a prequel and its Japanese title may indicate that it belongs to a separate lineage. It stars Yoshi and his Yoshi friends who, while carrying Baby Mario, travel across Yoshi's Island to reclaim the kidnapped Baby Luigi from Baby Bowser and his Magikoopa minion, Kamek.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is the first platforming video game in the Yoshi series, and the fourth entry overall. It was followed by a loose sequel, Yoshi's Story, in 1998 for the Nintendo 64. In 2002, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island was remade as part of the Super Mario Advance series for the Game Boy Advance as Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. A sequel for the Nintendo DS, Yoshi's Island DS, was released in 2006. Tetris Attack and Yoshi Touch & Go borrowed the characters and settings from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island was one of three completed games to utilize the Super FX 2 chip, which handled sprite scaling and rotation (advertised as "Morphmation" technology in a television commercial and a promotional VHS), basic polygonal rendering, and advanced parallax scrolling.

The music was composed by Koji Kondo and was released in Japan on November 25, 1995 in Compact Disc format as Super Mario: Yoshi Island Original Sound Version.

Kamek
"Kamek, the evil Magikoopa, and kidnapper of the baby".

From the first cinematic of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island:

A long, long time ago . . . This is a story about baby Mario and Yoshi.

A stork hurries across the dusky, pre-dawn sky. In his bill, he supports a pair of twins. Suddenly, a shadow appears in a gap between the clouds and races towards the stork with blinding speed.

"SCRREEEECH!!!"

"THE BABIES ARE MINE!"

WOW!!! Snatching only one baby, the creature vanishes into the darkness from whence it came.

The second baby falls undetected towards the open sea. . . OH NO. . .

Meanwhile, here is Yoshi's Island, home to all Yoshies. It's a lovely day, and Yoshi is taking a walk. HUH?!? Suddenly, a baby drops in onto his back. The baby seems to be fine. This is very fortunate! Wha-? Something else fell with the baby . . . Let's take a peek . . .

It looks like a map. Maybe the stork was using it? But Yoshi can't figure it out. Yoshi decides to talk to his friends.

AAAAAAAAAAKK!!! Kamek, the evil Magikoopa, and kidnapper of the baby, quickly dispatches his toadies, when he discovers that he missed the other baby!

Yoshi heads leisurely back to the other Yoshies, unaware of the danger at hand. Kamek's forces are actively searching the island.

Will these two children ever reach their parents safely?

From the second cinematic of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island:

This paradise is Yoshi's Island, where all the Yoshies live. They are all in an uproar over the baby that fell from the sky.

Wait! The baby seems to know where he wants to go . . . The bond between the twins informs each of them where the other one is. The Yoshies decide to carry the baby to his destination via a relay system. Now begins a new adventures for the Yoshies and baby Mario.

Remakes and Ports

Yoshi's Island is slated for a re-release on the Nintendo 3DS.[1]

Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3

Template:Infobox Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 a remake of Yoshi's Island for the Game Boy Advance as part of the Super Mario Advance‎ series. It was released in 2002 and has a number of differences from the original surrounding gameplay, content and graphics, as listed below.

New Features

Some new new features for this game are the bonus levels and the sound effects. If the player gets all 100 points on each level the will go to a secret level. Also when Yoshi jumps, flutter jumps, crouches or throws an egg, Yoshi will say something when he does those things. Since there are Bonus levels and the game is on the Game Boy Advance the map looks sightly different.

List of Changes

File:YIGBAMAP.PNG
The World Map of Yoshi's Island when beginning the game.
  • The Pause Menu has changed. Instead of one menu handling all functions, there are now two. One allows the player to put his/her Game Boy Advance into sleep mode, or return to the overworld map. The other, which is a redesigned version of the original's pause screen, allows the use of items, and displays the player's current score for the level.
  • The Yoshi's Island Mini Battle code was changed (because the Game Boy Advance didn't have X Button and Y Button buttons) to L Button, L Button, B Button, A Button, R Button (while holding the Select button).
Level Changes
  • A new room has been added to the level 1-8 (Salvo the Slime's Castle). It is between what were the second and third rooms in the original game. It has one Shy Guy-spawning pipe.
  • The original version had 21 red coins in More Monkey Madness (Extra 3), but the remake has the usual 20. There was a red coin under a Tap-Tap on a ground pound stake. This has been removed from the remake.
  • An extra Middle Ring has been added to 4-4 (Marching Milde's Fort.)
  • The final room before the boss in 4-8 (Hookbill the Koopa's Castle) has been redesigned.
  • All of the extra levels in the original game were modified for this version, most noticeably Kamek's Revenge.
  • The biggest change was the addition of six entirely new levels in the remake, called Secret levels. These are to the left of the Extra Levels on the map screen, and are unlocked by defeating Baby Bowser on level 6-8. Consequently, it is no longer necessary to have a perfect score in a particular World, to unlock that World's extra level.
  • The final level of the game had its name changed from "Castles - Masterpiece Set" to "Ultimate Castle Challenge".
Graphical Changes
  • As always, the palette is lightened to combat the original Game Boy Advance's lack of a backlight.
  • In the original, the Yoshi who completed the x-2 levels was a very dark shade of pink. However, they appeared red on the map. Similarly, the Yoshi who completed the x-7 levels was red, but appeared hot pink on the map. In the remake, the x-2 Yoshi is always light pink, and the x-7 Yoshi is always red.
  • All Yoshis had red shoes in the original. In the remake, they have different colored shoes, as in Yoshi's Story.
  • When Yoshi touches a Fuzzy in the original game, the background smears erratically and fades between random colors. The ground also ripples. In the remake, the background doesn't smear or tint. However, it does fade between white and its normal colors. The ground ripple is also less fluid in the remake. This probably happens because the Game Boy Advance is not able to handle the Super FX chip-powered graphic effects as well as the original.
    • Probably related to the above, Red Coins were given away in the original; while yellow coins followed the rippling of the ground, Red Coins did not. In the remake, all coins ripple with the ground.
  • In underground levels with "sparkling" ground, mushrooms and other foreground decorations sometimes have their palettes changed. This is done to fix a glitch where some black objects would also sparkle.
  • Sealed doors have different graphics. The boards that cover them aren't visibly bisected, as in the original.
  • Kamek's magic has a different visual effect. The colored cloud is absent, while the cycling sparkles remain.
  • The overworld map was redesigned. The path the Yoshis follow to their goal is now in a straight line, and spots have been added to the map for each world's two hidden levels. Additionally, a "world select" screen was added.
Sound Changes
  • The game's soundtrack was downgraded to match the Game Boy Advance's sound capabilities.
  • Several sounds in the original were replaced by sound clips similar to the ones heard in Yoshi's Story - most notably the Shy Guys' and Yoshis' voices.

References to Other Games

  • Super Mario Bros.: This game's "end of level" fanfare is remixed at the end of the credits. Also, Kamek states in Yoshi's Island that the Mario brothers will eventually foil the Koopa Tribe's plans, referring to how they'd indeed do it in Super Mario Bros. and actually the whole series.
  • Super Mario Bros. 2: Part of this game's "character select" theme is part of Yoshi's Island's "Athletic" theme.
  • Super Mario Bros. 3: World 6 looks a lot like Dark Land, and even has giant mushrooms near Bowser's Castle.
  • Super Mario World: Baby Mario rides Yoshi, similarly to how Mario could ride him in Super Mario World. Additionally, the American and European versions of the game are sold as Super Mario World's second installment (although the game actually happens first in the Mario series' timeline).

References in Later Games

Trivia

  • In the Super Mario-Kun adaptation of this game, Mario and Luigi go to the past with Bowser by mistake. They stop Kamek from kidnapping Baby Mario and help Yoshi reunite the Baby Bros. But, in the Donkey Kong Country adaptation of Super Mario-Kun, it is revealed Yoshi does not remember anything about any adults here and nothing about the Baby Mario tantrums.
  • The game was placed 18th in the 100th issue of Nintendo Power's "100 best Nintendo games of all time" in 1997.[2]
  • While the English version is called "Super Mario World 2", the original Japanese title is "Super Mario: Yoshi's Island". This was to draw a connection to Nintendo's earlier SNES success, Super Mario World. However, this also generated a lot of confusion as to whether to call it a sequel or not, even if it is clearly a prequel to the entire series. Similarly, Super Mario World was also known as Super Mario Bros. 4 in Japan.
  • The music for World 6 map is a stripped down version of the music that plays when the maps of the other 5 worlds are complete. Also, the music that plays in most areas of World 6 is the underground music.
  • The game places 185th in the 200th Issue of GameInformer's "Top 200 Games of All Times", the lowest ranked Mario series game.
