Yoshi's Story

This game just can't seem to catch a BREAK in the United States! Despite being a gigantic hit in Japan, and doing modest success in America, plans to re-release the game on a portable system in the States, have fallen through THREE times! But at the very least, it's still an enjoyable game to play on the N64, Wii Virtual Console, or the Wii U Virtual Console. A sequel to "Yoshi's Island," this story (told like a children's storybook) follows six young Yoshi's (two unlockable Yoshi's can be picked up along the way) who have to save the Tree of Happyness from Baby Bowser, who has selfishly stolen it for himself so that the Yoshi's can't have it. The majority of this game isn't particularly hard, but finding all the secrets are! The toughest goals in this game, are to find the three hearts hidden in EVERY stage, and to TRY to eat ONLY melons in this game! Not as easy as it sounds, as the hearts can be WELL hidden at times, and sometimes, if a player FAILS to get a melon the FIRST time, it WON'T be available for eating later! Thankfully, this game has a lot of re-play value. Instead of having to beat ALL 24 stages in a row, players are given a CHOICE as to WHICH stages they want to play on any play-through of "Yoshi's Story." Players have to beat one stage on all the six levels of this game, before finally facing off against Baby Bowser. And by collecting the hearts and melons in each level stage, it makes all the other stages in each level available in a players stage selection! So any play-through (as well as the story) can change quite significantly every time this game is played!
