Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario 3 puts you in control of Yoshi for his wildest new adventure! You can even connect with three friends in a multi-player game of Mario Bros.
Oh no! It looks like your granddad was right--things really were better in the old days. At least they were if you liked 2-D platform games, and Yoshi?s Island is indisputably one of the best ever made. Yoshi?s Island goes back in time to recount the touching story of the various Yoshis' attempts to unite Baby Mario with his parents. You don?t actually control the Italian plumber-to-be but instead his dinosaur pal, who has the curious ability to eat his enemies and then immediately turn them into eggs, which he can then fling at more enemies. Since Yoshi isn?t particularly fast and can float in midair for a few seconds after making a jump, the whole dynamics of the normal Mario gameplay have changed, but the same incredible attention to detail and endless imagination that mark all of Nintendo?s best efforts are still here in full effect. In fact they?re joined this time, after the rather plain-looking prequel, by some wonderful pastel-shaded graphics that were jaw-dropping when the game was originally released in 1995 and still manage to impress now. As with the other Super Mario Advance titles, this game also contains a four-player version of the original Mario Bros. arcade game, making it even more of a bargain than it already was. --David Jenkins, Amazon.co.uk

Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 Reviews
I could find no real faults for this game, as it can be picked up by anyone and played. Here's a breakdown below:. Sound Effects: 10/10. game is a welcome addition to those that have played this before, and might attract new gamers as well. Even though I like the more "modern" Nintendo games (for the DS in particular), Yoshi's Island stands out in the crowd as one game that you can play and enjoy. It's reasonably priced, and could round out your DS library nicely.
It has all the pastel colors that lured me to it in the first place, and very responsive controls as well. Music: 10/10. The bonus Mario Bros.
Graphics: 10/10. General Score: 10/10. Control: 10/10.
Enjoy an old classic today. I had the opportunity to pick this game up again, and I am now glad that I did. The colorful graphics and catchy music will have you playing "just one more" game before powering down for the evening.
So it's a masterpiece, a must-buy. D-Pad down: makes yoshi duck, making the camera move slightly down, and occasionally avoiding enemies. This game was the sequel to the most popular Super Mario World in the 1990's for the SNES, and is a platformer as is its predecessor, and not only that, it explains how Mario came to be. One of the best things about this game is the replay value. Yoshi and enemies have bright, colors, and many more things will also look very beautiful.
Some levels will have the calm tune, where many will have his jazzy one which I will never forget. 2. D-Pad Left/Right: Using left will make you run to the left, and right will make you move to the right. All in all for the graphics, Yoshi's island is defiantly on of the best-looking GBA and SNES games around. A must buy for any Nintendo fan. Unfortunately, unlike super Mario world, there will be boxes and a pointer to enter levels, instead of a map that you can walk all over.
D-pad controls: D-Pad Up: Makes yoshi look up, and makes the screen camera move slightly up to see what's above you. The game sold well, and got the right to be remade for the GBA, with several advancements. As you can see, this targeting system takes good timing, but it's actually quite easy to get used to. The background is almost full 3D, and the land that yoshi can walk on is beautiful and full of colors; some of these look like giant, 3D, clouds that were painted all sorts of pretty colors and placed flowers upon, others look like hundreds and hundreds of black and blue shiny gems, these floors and platforms are in underground caves.
Not to mention it comes with the arcade Mario Bros., upgraded to sprites from the original super Mario advance, or super Mario bros. If you have an enemy in your mouth, you can swallow it with this button. Every single level in the game is repayable, and I find myself constantly playing these levels, over again, just for the fun and thrill of it. These clouds may also contain other surprises like making a staircase in a level.
Many enemies in this game include shy guys, which are basically red boxes with, white, circular masks with black, circular holes for the eyes and mouth. The cave and castle music are just so awesome unforgettable. B: Makes yoshi stick his long, stick-like tongue out. You play as yoshi, with baby Mario riding on your back. Baby Mario hardly serves any purpose at all; in fact, it would probably make more sense on Yoshi's part to leave baby Mario behind with the Yoshi's that stayed behind.
Others include small, blue, bats with orange wings that swoop down on yoshi, or bandits that try to grab Mario and steal him away. There are also several minigames to be played in which prizes will be obtained throughout levels, a good example is giving you the maximum eggs that can follow you. His tongue can put certain enemies in his mouth, and you can press B again to spit them out. R: Most enemies will turn into eggs and follow yoshi wherever he goes when yoshi swallows an enemy. By pressing R, yoshi will pick up the egg, and a red X will be going up and down. This game has some of the best music you'll ever find for its era.
Now that you know a little bit about the gameplay, it's time to move onto the graphics, which I was truly impressed by. The music in the game is.simply amazing. All in all, this game deserves my 10 for such a game that.that.Well it's just such a masterpiece. Across levels, there will be glittering rings that yoshi can continue from if this happens or if he falls down a pit. Useful for defeating certain enemies you may land on and jumping over hills and obstacles.
Also, when yoshi is looking up, if you stick his tongue out, it will go up instead of right/left. Also, stones in castles look very nice and realistic. She managed to snatch one baby, but the other, fell straight down onto Yoshis Island, and fell on one Yoshi's back, along with a map that the stork was using of Yoshi's island. It was decided that several yoshis of different colors were to see where the map led, maybe to find Luigi, Mario's brother, and stop Bowser's plan. You may use the D-Pad to select a word and press A to go into it, in which two castles which inhabit bosses at the end, and several other levels will appear.
Applying a gentle push will make Yoshi walk, and pushing on them harder will make him almost immediately run. Mario will be enveloped by a small bubble, and a meter of 10 seconds will appear. When the kind stork was carrying two baby orphans, Mario and Luigi, to their parents, flying across Yoshi's island, home to all Yoshis, it was assaulted by Kamek, the Koopa/Witch who worked for a little dragon named Bowser. Now that you know the game's history and the plot, we should probably move on to the gameplay of Yoshi's island. Now then, Yoshi's moves consist of: A: Jumping. It 100% captures the feel and setting for each level in such a good way, that it seems indescribable. Now, one thing I forgot to mention was the world map. There are many floors beside that, I just named a few.
Many small clouds with wings will also be floating around levels, and if hit by an egg, may give you stars, which increase your seconds until Mario is taken away (the glittery rings I mentioned before will also do this), circular coins, and if 100 are obtained, an extra life will be gotten until game over, game over really doesn't do anything except reset those glittery rings, because whenever you defeat a level anew or replayed, the game saves automatically. A map will appear whenever you start your file (there are 3 in all and can be erased or copied) that shows yoshi, awesome graphics and landscapes, and 6 numbers for six worlds. Also, if you press A in the air, yoshi will elevate slightly higher. When on the box select screen, you can easily switch to other boxes from the other world without going back to the map screen.
To make him immediately run, you must hold down B. So came super Mario world 2: Yoshi's island for the SNES. You can access these items by pressing select. Also, while in the air, by pressing down, Yoshi will do a flip and point his butt at the ground, then very quickly slamming the ground; this attack is more powerful then jumping.
You can choose the way you want yoshi to throw the egg; the first way is just by pressing R and than pressing it again to throw the egg; the second way is to hold down R, and once it is released, yoshi will throw the egg in the direction of the red X. Now there are many enemies in Yoshi's island, of many shapes and sizes, that, if touched, will make Yoshi flinch back, and cause baby Mario to go off of Yoshi's back. If yoshi does not touch the bubble in 10 seconds, Kamek's minions will fly down and take baby Mario away.
And so if you get both you might play it more too. (-: So try not to get super mario bros.3 okay. Since this game is FUNNER than super mario bros.3 as you see in my title I played it more times too.
Cant go wrong with this game. An adult may actually enjoy this game. Yoshi is one of our favorite Nintendo characters and the game has alot of action.
He gave it the 5-star rating. He has continued to enjoy it very often. I asked him to tell me what he enjoys about it since I have never played the game myself. I can tell you that it IS NOT a game he played for 10 minutes and got bored with. I figured the opinion of the 10-year-old player would be more useful. He says "It is cool that you can morph into different things and it has lots of different levels to play on." He also likes the "storyline" or "plot" of the adventure since Yoshi is one of his favorite characters. We purchased this game for my son(who is 10) and he really likes it.
