Your opinion on Yoshi's Island (aka Super Mario World 2)

I think Yoshi's Island (also known as Super Mario World 2) is one of the best platformers ever made and gets too little praise imo. I think it suffers from the same problem than Bros. 2 on the NES did, namely it doesn't play like a typical Mario game and is therefore underappreciated.

I think the level design in this game is brilliant and the game is still beautiful to look at (thanks to a great, cartoony art style).

The game also has amazing boss fights and is just massive.

The mini games are also good.

Some people may complain about the non-typical gameplay (we play with Yoshi 95% of the time after all) and the "kiddy" graphics and music but those able to look past this may find an amazing platformer.

Write your opinion on the game if you played it (or still intend to do so).

A quality platformer with cool power ups and excellent level design.

It's a great platformer that had a good number of fun gimmicks and plenty of level exploration. The only real problems I have with it are that it's too easy, even when compared to other Mario games, and that it doesn't have enough powerup types (I still miss the days of SMB3 in this regard).

Overall I like it, but it's never captivated me enough to want to 100% it again.

Excellent game; possibly my favorite platformer on the SNES, and that's saying a lot since the SNES had a lot of quality platformers. The level and art designs were great, and the boss fights were fun.

I was so excited when Yoshi's Story was announced, but the end result didn't match the quality of YI.

yeah this mario game with like the fruits and the hearts was really wierd but i did enjoy the game

basically my favorite SNES game. i love it. i think i might just go play that soon:P

One of my all time favorite games. Did you see they are making it for the 3DS VC, but it going to be using "New Features"? WHHHHHHOOOOOO

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES) is without a doubt one of the best games ever made. I think the first thing that struck me was the graphics-I love the look and feel of it. Super Mario World is an excellent game and this is definitely a worthy sequel in every possible way.

This was my favorite SNES platform by far! The visual style was unique and was one of the best looking 16 bit games at that time.

The level designs were amazing, and the gmae offered a lot of content.

I don't think there is anything else to say about this that hasn't already been said, but I agree, very underrated game

oops i seemed to have droped this link here

Totally a great game. At the time I thought it was "good", but looking back at it, it really pushed SNES to the limits, technically and in game play.

Great artstyle, good level design, overrated, awesome bosses and good music

I'm going against the crowd on this one. I didn't like it much. The graphics were way too cartoony and kiddie looking for me. And I hated having to babysit Baby Mario. I didn't care for the egg-shooting controls either, felt really awkward to me. I was also hoping for a true sequel to the in-freaking-credible Super Mario World game, and was quite disappointed we never got one.

Since I brought it up: What's stopping Nintendo from making a true Super Mario World sequel? They could release it for Nintendo DS/3DS and/or WiiWare. I'd be all over that as would millions of Nintendo/Mario/Platforming fans.

Well the way I see it New SMB. Wii is a sequel of sorts. And although SMW is subtitled SMB.4 in the Japanese edition, I personally never felt it was.

I also find it funny how you write off Yoshi's Island just because of the "kiddy" graphics but to each their own.

The graphics were only one of the reasons I mentioned for not enjoying it.

The graphics in SMW2:YI were definitely different, but I embraced them completely-over time. At first I was like "whoa" and then eventually I had an appreciation for what I was seeing. The graphics arenot for everyone and I think more than the graphics the gameplay mechanics were a bit different too. I can honestly say that listening to Baby Mario cry could be quite annoying not to mention that I would have to get him back in a certain amount of time frustrated things a bit further. All in all an EXCELLENT game.
