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
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
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
Remakes
- Early in the Gameboy Advance's life was released, 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.
- In 2007 it was released for download over the Virtual Console.
Sequels
The next platformer in the series is Yoshi's Island DS. However, some may consider the spin-off Yoshi's Topsy-Turvy the next in the series. Of the next Yoshi games, Yoshi's Topsy-Turvy seemed to be based on Yoshi's Story the most; Yoshi's Island DS and Yoshi Touch and Go were both based more on the original Yoshi's Island.
