Yoshi's Story is the Nintendo 64 sequel to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. During the development, it was known as Yoshi's Island 64. This was the first game where Yoshi was given a real voice; he was voiced by Kazumi Totaka.
Story[edit]
Baby Bowser has stolen the Super Happy Tree that spreads happiness over Yoshi's Island. Not only that, the island has also been transformed into a storybook. Six unhatched eggs hatch after all of this and aren't affected. The six Yoshi decide to go after Baby Bowser and save the island.
Gameplay[edit]
The game is divided into six pages with four stages each. The player only needs to beat one stage on each page. To complete a stage, the player must collect 30 pieces of fruit. The player can also collect Big Hearts, which will unlock more stages, and Honeydew melons.
In place of a health bar, the player is given a smile meter. Enemies and traps will decrease the smile meter while eating fruit, butterflies, and tulips will increase it. Each color Yoshi has a preferred fruit; eating their preferred fruit will increase their health more than usual.
Legacy[edit]
Ports/Remakes[edit]
- Early in the Game Boy Advance's life, a remake of Yoshi's Story was announced along with remakes of classic Mario games for the NES and Super NES. However, the Yoshi's Story remake was ultimately cancelled.
