Story (7/10)
This time, Mario is not the main character. You control Yoshi, or rather, a lot of different Yoshis. The goal is to take baby Mario to his brother, baby Luigi.
Gameplay (10/10)
Innovation meets fun. Although controlling Yoshi is awkward at first, it is easy to get the hang of. Yoshi's enemy swallowing comes into play often, as many times eggs are needed to be shot at different objects (including enemies) on the screen.
There are many different mini-games and bosses to fight through the game that keep it from being repetitive. Each boss needs a different strategy to beat it.
