Nintendo's friendly dinosaur: from Yoshi's Island to worlds made of wool and craft, Yoshi carries a gentle, inventive platformer. RomWize re-ranks the best entries by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"Yoshi's Island + Mario Brothers on GBA, Japanese version of Super Mario Advance 3. Yoshi's enchanting island in its original version, Mario Bros. included as bonus. Just as wonderful as the Western version."
"Super Mario Advance 3 Yoshi's Island on GBA, port of Nintendo's enchanting island. Unique watercolor universe, perfect egg mechanic, overflowing creativity. An absolute GBA masterpiece."
"First Shining Force III scenario, the only one released in the West. Introduces game mechanics and political context. Excellent standalone but incomplete without the other scenarios. Magnificent first act of an exceptional SRPG trilogy."
"A platformer crafted entirely from paper and cardboard, with adorable art direction. Flipping the scenery to reveal its reverse side is a lovely touch. Very easy and aimed at younger players, but irresistibly charming."
"Beautifully crafted wool Yoshi platformer by Good-Feel. Breathtaking fabric visuals, gentle and inventive gameplay, well-designed levels. May seem too accessible but holds real depth for perfectionists. Enchanting."
"Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World on 3DS, portable version of the Wii U yarn Yoshi with playable Poochy and extra mini-games. Adorable yarn visuals and accessible platformer gameplay. Charming for all ages."
"Yoshi's cookie puzzle game on Famicom. Line up rows or columns of matching cookies to eliminate them. Simple and addictive Nintendo concept. For accessible puzzle fans."
"A Nintendo falling puzzler where Mario stacks shells to trap Yoshis. Original trapping mechanic, speed climbing with score. Charming and accessible, perfect for Game Boy. Less addictive than Tetris or Dr. Mario but pleasant. A little-known Nintendo curio worth discovering."
