Item Description

Return to the colorful wilds of Yoshi’s Island in a new platforming adventure for Nintendo DS.A mysterious floating island has suddenly appeared over peaceful Yoshi’s Island. Soon after its arrival, a gaggle of kids vanishes from the island school. Thankfully, Baby Mario, Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong and Baby Wario manage to avoid being kidnapped. Now, Yoshi and the four young superstars must set out on a wild and colorful quest to rescue the kids and investigate the ominous island hovering overhead. Thanks to the power of Nintendo DS, all of the lush vistas and perilous paths of Yoshi's Island span two screens.The Yoshis populating this wild and mysterious island take turns transporting the babies. Each baby gives Yoshi access to unique powers while they cling to his back: Baby Mario gives Yoshi speed; Baby DK gives him strength and the ability to climb vines; with her umbrella, Baby Peach gives him the ability to float high, and Baby Wario gives him magnetism (perfect for grabbing grown-up Wario's favorite things: coins!).

It\'s 2 times the size of the original one.
And i Meant that literally. Why? We play on two screens this time around. Unlike some other DS games which uses only 1 screen for the game and the other for menu or whatever. this game use BOTH screen for the adventure mode. Think of shooting an egg up the top of the touch screen and seeing it show up on the top screen. Fun? You bet.

And well the size might be 2 times bigger, but the character is 5 times bigger, that\'s for sure. Ever think of using Mario AND Wario in an adventure game? No? Then you should change how you think. Cause this game use Mario and Wario in a game plus 2 more.
All of which never happen before:

Mario
Wario
Peach
DK
Bowser

Weird I know.

Nothing much has change in the graphic and gameplay compared to the first game, so I won\'t explain that.

Seriously though, this game is worth buying, and is surely worth completing 100% of (Yeah right)

Yoshi\'s Island DS
Ardent fans of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System would remember Yoshi\'s Island DS, arguably one of the more creative platformers out there. Yoshis, a tribe of vividly-colored dinosaurs inhabiting the island, are tasked with carrying baby versions of Mario and his friends through Yoshi\'s Island, trying to recue baby Luigi from the clutches of evil Koopa wizard Kamek. The game has features found in few other platformers - Yoshi can attack enemies by zapping a foe into its mouth with its tongue, and either spitting the enemy out or swallowing it to create an egg. These eggs can be fired at enemies, or other elements in the stage, to get coins in out-of-reach places or trigger translucent floating clouds. They even come complete with crosshairs for aiming. Short of dying instantly when you get touched by enemy (as in other platformers), the baby would fall off Yoshi\'s back, leaving the dinosaur to retrieve it before the timer runs out. This timer can be extended, by collecting stars placed throughout the various levels.

New to the DS version are Mario\'s friends - baby Peach, Donkey Kong, Wario and Bowser. Each baby gives Yoshi different abilities. For instance, baby Mario lets Yoshi run while baby Bowser does a mean fire-spitting. There is plenty of replayability in store for those who must colllect everything to complete a game. While you can simply carry the babies from start to end, you will have to use different young ones to collect all the items in a level. Some items may only be accessible by floating around with baby Peach, for example.

Yoshi\'s Island DS brings back memories of Yoshi and his baby charges. While most of the game\'s stages have little to distinguish themselves, this solid sequel will please fans of the Mario series and its spin-offs. Recommended for fans of the adorable dinosaur.
