Editorial Reviews:

Yoshi's Island is an all-new platformer starring Yoshi and his friends! A mysterious floating island has suddenly appeared over Yoshi's peaceful home. Soon after its arrival, a gaggle of kids vanishes from the island school. Thankfully, Baby Mario, Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong and Baby Wario manage to avoid being kidnapped. Now, Yoshi and the four young superstars must set out on a wild and colorful quest to rescue the kids and investigate the ominous island hovering overhead. Thanks to the power of Nintendo DS, all of the lush vistas and perilous paths of Yoshi's Island span two screens.


User Comments about the Yoshi's Island DS

Amazon most graciously refunded me, so even though very disappointed, it wasn't a complete disaster. Unfortunately the package sent by Amazon never made it out of the USPS package processing mill. Even though the tracking number provided indicated it was just a few miles away, it never made the complete journey. My one star rating really isn't appropriate but you have to enter something.



Yoshis Island DS is the sequal to the original Yoshis Island. If You liked the first Yoshis Island you will like this one even more. Each of the babies gives yoshi different abilities.MARIO: SprintPEACH: Hover LongerDK: Climbing vines, swinging, and a dash attackWario: Attracts coinsBowser: Shoot FireI have only got to DK so far and the babies keep getting better as you go along. It is basically the same game but with some added stuff. You still have the same abilities like swallowing enemies, shooting eggs, ground pounding, jumping and fluttering, and if you touch an enemy the baby falls off and you have seconds to get it back.In the first Yoshis Island baby mario was always with yoshi but now there are more including peach, DK, Wario, and Bowser. If you havent then you should definitley pick this one up.



I would have liked for something new to crop up on every single level, like the original. It is a very great game. Collecting flowers, red coins, and star points has returned from the original. The adventure starts out with Baby Mario and Yoshi, but then Babies Peach, DK, Wario, and Bowser join Yoshi's team, each of them having different abilities. Yoshi can also do a hover jump, as usual. Is the sequel as good as the wonderful SNES game, Yoshi's Island, and its GBA remake.


For one thing, a few of the levels seem almost identical to one another. Peach can hover, Mario can dash and hit "M" blocks that are only visible to him, DK can swing across vines, Wario can attract metal with his magnet, and Bowser can breathe fire.


Here is my answer: no, but it's a great game. It seems a lot has returned from the previous game.


The only problem is that some of the levels feel like you have to do the same thing over and over. You can slurp enemies up with your tongue, as well.


Also back are the ground pounding, stomping, jumping, and making and throwing eggs. However, something very interesting does crop up: the babies Yoshi is carrying on his back.


If you get 100 coins, you get a 1-up (as always). I would still highly recommend this game.



Furthermore, I have not found a single ds game to be satisfactory. Nintendo really needs to put more effort into its games. It is unacceptable for the name of great games such as yoshi's island to be put to shame by crappy sequels. Please stop making horrid games Nintendo.



* The graphics for this game are adorable.* It's an adventure with little action (Is that good or bad).* Control of characters is challenging.* Very clever.* Good for 4 yr olds.
