This is where it all started for the Mario Brothers, lol in this prequel(in the Mario story) & sequel(in the game series) to Super Mario World.The game was launched in 1995 in the 32-bit era but those 32 bits had no match for this amazing charm & the game sold in 4 million copies.It's about Yoshi's Home,his island,World 1 from Super Mario World 1 where he bumps into a human baby & a letter.He embarks on the quest to return baby Mario home by finding the stork that carried him.That stork was also carrying Luigi & the evil magi-koopa called Kamek kidnapped Luigi & the stork but Mario fell down,he finds out at his castle that baby Mario is missing & he dispatches his Koopa minnions.Now the 8 coloured dinosaurs begin their quest.They travel through 6 creyon-coloured,charm-coloured,amazing-coloured areas.From each level,baby Mario is tossed to the next Yoshi like dinosaur.(yoshi is the green one,the others don't have names,they are no-names).The graphics like i said,are fantastic,very-very coloured & creyon style & with computer animation,it looks like it's from 2009 from DS not from 1995.The music is kindergarden style.The gameplay is unique-Yoshi & his friends make eggs & you throw with eggs through-out the game,you can drag an 7 egged train after you.You saw this for the first time at the end credits of SMW1.Lol,in SMW1 Mario returns the favour to Yoshi & rescues the dinosaur eggs.
Here,if baby falls from the dinosaur,he flyes into a bubble & if you don't save him after the seconds expire he will be kidnapped by the koopas,this replaces the time meter from the other Mario games.
This game owns Super Mario 64 & Super Mario Galaxy-this is where ground-pounding began,Mario learned it from Yoshi & i don't know why he didn't used this technique in SMW1:) Maybe he was still afraid i don't know...At the Area 5 Boss,you fight him on the Moon by rotating around the planet,epic moment,the thing that owns Super Mario Galaxy.& it also owns New Super Mario Bros-at the final level,before Bowser is transformed,he is a baby,he is Bowser JR,the one from New SMB.& voila,there you have it-it owns all the Mario platformers that came out since.
The game is quite hard,there are some puzzles & the levels are quite long,the bonus games are not missing.At some levels the dinosaurs can transform into a Mole or tank or helicopter or even a train,very original.Yoshi & his friends can fly,but they fly like a chicken,imagine how a chicken flies-in the exact same way.& they can attack with the long red tongue vertically,not only horizontaly.I don't know,this game cannot be described in words,it's one of the most charming games ever created.it has 48 levels & each Area of the Island has 1 castle & 1 fortres,the tradition is not broken.The final battle with Bowser JR beeing big & coming at you is epic.You must throw eggs towards him.After you defeat him,you will save the stork & baby Luigi & then hand over baby Mario & then the stork will continue & finish it's journey(thanks to the Dinosaurs)& the legend begins & & &...they their parents will make them plumbers & play in over 200 video-games.
I simply cannot rate this game with 10 because...i've rated enough or i will rate enough SNES games with 10 & it's not fair for the other consoles,i had to sacrifice this one & Donkey Kong Country...sorry SNES,will you forgive me?laughing out loud!
You should not miss this game whoever you are & whatever you like or not-this game is a must play.
ps:Baby Mario,shut up!You give me headaches!
