Yoshi's Island Art Style
Yoshi's Island's style was more suited to it (Baby Mario). Hyper realism seems weird for a game like it. The child's view of a world style it has was well-suited but would've been terrible for most games. Imagine Yoshi's Island style for Metroid or Final Fantasy or Castlevania LOL.

Jan 15, 2018 A talented Nintendo fan has recreated several scenes from Super Mario World with the art style of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. You can see some screenshots of these fanmade recreations in the gallery below.
Taking place between the original Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and DS, it turns out that the parents to which Mario and Luigi were delivered at the end of the former were not their actual parents. Surprised by the mistake, the Stork takes off to find the brothers' real parents, but gets attacked by Kamek once again, resulting in Luigi getting captured and Mario getting dropped, again. This time, Mario lands in the Yoshi's other home, Egg Island and the heroic Yoshis go off to reunite the to brothers and defeat Baby Bowser, who wants to turn Egg Island into his own personal resort.
New Island largely does away with the changes to gameplay introduced by Island DS, instead presenting itself as a more direct successor to the original Yoshi's Island. The art style itself is a mix of the original game's main art style with the claymation-style pre-rendered sprites from its intro.

This video-game provides examples of:
- Canon Character All Along: Mr. Pipe. It's-a Mario!
- Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Defied just like in DS, as there are two control schemes corresponding for the SNES and GBA versions.
- Eating the Enemy: Just like in previous games, Yoshi can eat enemies to turn them into weaponized eggs.
- Face Palm: The stork in the Yoshi's New Island intro upon realizing he brought Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to the wrong house.
- Fake Difficulty: The invisible clouds, which half of the game's red coins and smiley flowers are hidden in, which only appear (very transparently) for a split second at a time.
- Generation Xerox: While they've always looked more similar than different, Yoshi's New Island uses a design for Baby Bowser that is perfectly identical to Bowser Jr. in every physical detail, minus the bandana, retconning what few tiny physical differences there used to be and adding even more to frequent confusion between them. It also doesn't help that the voice they use are stock clips of Bowser Jr.'s voice that are raised in pitch.
- Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: Bowser appears this way. Unlike in DS, which had a story-based reason for his appearance, Bowser just shows up out of nowhere to be the True Final Boss.
- Happy Ending Override: It turns out that the Mario Bros. were delivered to the wrong house, leading to the events of Yoshi's New Island.
- Here We Go Again!: The opening cutscene for reveals the stork dropped Mario and Luigi off at the wrong house at the end of Yoshi's Island, and when he rushes to deliver the babies to their proper parents Kamek intercepts him and makes off with Luigi again.
- Identity Concealment Disposal: The epilogue in Yoshi's New Island reveals that Mr. Pipe, a warp pipe character that helps Yoshi if he loses too many lives in a incomplete level, is actually a time-traveling Adult Mario in disguise.
- Immediate Sequel: Yoshi's New Island begins right where the original game ends, making it an Interquel between it and DS.
- Interquel: Yoshi's New Island directly follows the original game, and thus is set before Yoshi's Island DS.
- Mercy Mode: If you fail a level three times, a character called Mr. Pipe gives you Flutter Wings that allow you to hover at a constant altitude. If you still fail a level even then, you receive the Golden Flutter Wings that make you invincible and allow you free flight.
- Nostalgia Level: The apparent final level, 'Baby Bowser's Castle Break-In'. Complete with Kamek ambushing, him suffering Bait-and-Switch Boss with Baby Bowser, Kamek then doing to the old Make My Monster Grow to him, them fleeing after his defeat, and the reunion of Yoshi, the babies, and the stork. And then adult Bowser ruins the whole thing.
- Sequel Difficulty Drop: The game is much easier than the original and especially DS. Indeed, some of the carryovers from the classic game have been simplified. Take the final boss fight, where the arena is much more forgiving, for starters, as you aren't threatened by bottomless pits.
- Sequel Reset: Yoshi's New Island actually starts with the original Yoshi's Island ending, revealing that the stork actually made a mistake and delivered the Mario Bros. to the wrong couple. So the stork is off to get the babies to the right parents when Kamek returns to capture them again.
- Theme-and-Variations Soundtrack: Yoshi's New Island features many (though not all) songs which are variations on the first level theme.
- True Final Boss: If you beat all levels without using the Flutter Wings, you will get to fight the adult Bowser.
- The Un-Reveal: The Mario Brothers' true parents finally appear in the epilogue of Yoshi's New Island. Like the couple in the prologue, though, they are silhouetted and their faces aren't shown, leaving their identities up to our imagination.

The Yoshi's Island series[1] is a video-game sub-series of the Yoshi franchise. It is a series of 2D side-scrolling platformers starring Yoshi, who has the unique ability to throw eggs to defeat enemies. The games generally feature a colorful, storybook-like art style. The games function as prequels to the present era of the Mario franchise, as they are set in the infancy of Mario and Luigi, where the Yoshis must work to save Baby Mario and others, including Baby Luigi, from the machinations of Kamek and Baby Bowser. Indeed, the defining trait of the series is that the controlled Yoshi carries a baby character, who ends in a bubble when the former is hurt. When this happens, Yoshi has a set number of seconds to rescue Mario, which can be increased in various ways.[1] The series is primarily developed by Nintendo EAD, with some games being developed by Artoon or other companies. The series began with a console title, but switched to a focus on handheld entries with Yoshi's Island DS.

Tech Demos[edit]
Gameplay[edit]The basic gameplay of the Yoshi's Island series is that of a 2D side-scrolling platformer. In addition to the basic run and jump actions, the Yoshi being played as is able to use their tongue to manipulate objects and to eat enemies in most of the games. Once an enemy is eaten, it can be ejected or swallowed. If swallowed, the Yoshi will be able to lay an egg which can be thrown at objects or at enemies. The Yoshi can obtain various power-ups to help complete the level, many of which involve transforming into various vehicles. The baby that the Yoshi carries on his back (usually Baby Mario) can also give the Yoshi various abilities to aid it. The defning feature of the series is the fact that, when the Yoshi is hit by an obstacle that does not make him lose immediately a life, the baby he is carrying ends in a bubble and a timer starts to decrease. If the Yoshi does not manage to pop the bubble before the timer reaches 0, some enemies, typically Toadies, kidnap the baby and the Yoshi loses a life. The spin-offs in the series feature somewhat different gameplay. In Yoshi Touch & Go, the player must draw lines of clouds with the Nintendo DS Touch Screen, guiding Yoshi and Baby Mario away from enemies as they float down. Enemies can be defeated by drawing bubbles around them or by throwing eggs obtained from eating fruit at them.
