Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Recommended Posts

You know, it's weird that this game doesn't get as much praise as some of the other Mario games out there. Similarly to my Mario Kart 64 topic, I wanted to start a topic for Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. 

Reason why, is because I feel this game is overlooked by many. In fact, I didn't even know about it until my teen years. I was only aware of Super Mario World and not the sequel. I actually just got the game like 5 or so years ago and played it for the first time around then. It's so much different from the first SMW game, that I think that's a big reason why. Playing as Yoshi and baby mario is fun, but I feel like fans didn't enjoy it as much, though I could be wrong. 

Anyway, what do you guys think of this classic? I wish it was a bit more popular these days, because from what I have played of it, it's a fantastic game.

While admittedly the whole baby crying thing gets on my nerves sooner rather than later, nonetheless I like Yoshi's Island better than the original Super Mario World for a lot of reasons ranging from its more creative, comic book-like art style to its more solid, less slippery controls and the range of transformations and crazy boss fights and everything! It's more fun.

Trivia: The game wasn't actually intended as a sequel to Super Mario World, but as the start of a separate, Yoshi-oriented franchise whose first sequel was Yoshi's Story for the Nintendo 64. But Nintendo of America slapped a "Super Mario World 2" header on the top on the theory that doing so, portraying it as a sequel, would yield higher sales.

Yeah baby Mario was a tad bit annoying. And I didn't know that about the sequel bit. Makes sense, because it's a lot different from Super Mario World. Especially the graphics and playstyle. It's so different. But, I think it was a good idea for them to do it, because I imagine it would have been even more overlooked if it didn't. But, i could be wrong.
