| | '''''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]''''', or ''Yoshi's Universal Gravitation'' in Europe and Australia, features a similar story to ''Yoshi's Story'' in where the island is transformed into a picture book. The [[Yoshi Island Spirits|Spirits]] transformed the entire island into a book (called the [[Forbidden Pop-Up Book]]) and Yoshi has to go through several challenges to earn the right to transform the island back. Once Yoshi has collected the required amount of [[Happiness Medal]]s, Yoshi can defeat [[Bowser]] and save his home. This was one of only two gyro-sensitive games to be released on the Game Boy Advance; the other was ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''.

| |'''''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''''' is a platform game for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. The game is a direct sequel ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', making it an interquel to ''Yoshi's Island DS'', and uses a similar art style for the game. This installment sets out a new revival of the ''Yoshi's Island'' games, succeeding eight years of hiatus in the ''Yoshi'' video game series. It is shown that the Stork has delivered the Baby Mario twins to the wrong house and tries to get them to their real parents. Kamek steals Baby Luigi once again and Baby Mario falls on a place called [[Egg Island]], where the Yoshi residents find him and decide to take him to Bowser's Castle.
| |
| Most gameplay elements are borrowed from the first game. Among new elements are the [[Mega Eggdozer]]s, [[Metal Eggdozer]]s and the multiplayer [[minigame]] mode.

| |The '''[[Argonaut Yoshi platformer|Argonaut ''Yoshi'' platformer]]''' was a planned game for the [[Nintendo 64]]. Following their successful collaboration with [[Nintendo]] on ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'', British game developer [[wikipedia:Argonaut Games|Argonaut Games]] pitched a 3D platformer starring [[Yoshi]] and made a prototype for it. However, Nintendo didn't follow on the offer, with one Argonaut employee speculating this was because the company didn't want to let third-parties use its characters. Following this setback, Argonaut decided to retool the prototype as an original IP, ''[[wikipedia:Croc: Legend of the Gobbos|Croc: Legend of the Gobbos]]''.
