The Scientifically Proven Best Video Games of All Time #65: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island

Warp Zoned writes:

"I’m just guessing here, but I’d imagine that many Mario fans have no idea a sequel to Super Mario World even exists. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island was released for the Super NES in 1995 and starred the titular dinosaur in his first solo adventure. Most fans refer to the game as just “Yoshi’s Island,” because it’s such a departure from the rest of the franchise to that point, and because the “Super Mario World 2” print on the game’s box is almost invisible.

Serving as a prequel to the entire Super Mario franchise, Yoshi’s Island introduced Baby Mario to the world and tasked Yoshi with protecting the infant from Baby Bowser. While it’s Fall 1995 release was overshadowed by the launch of the Sega Saturn and the Sony PlayStation, a dedicated cult following has built up around the game over the years."

This game is incredible. The only thing I couldn't figure out is why Extra 5 was harder than Extra 6, if you're going for 100% anyways.
I've also always thought that 6 world's wasn't enough.

Yoshi's Island is one of my fave games the baby crying can get annoying but the game is fun. Yoshi's Story for N64 is also another one of my fave Yoshi games.

You're telling me a game you didn't find entertaining continued to not entertain you?

Highly interesting.

After 25 years, maybe it's time you stop trying, and then move on and not find a reason to write a negative article about it for reasons unknown, because if the purpose of this is to incite negativity towards the game, then it doesn't matter after all this time, and if it's not, then no one really cares that much about your gaming interests.

You're not the only one. I too just can't do Yoshi's Island.
