This is definitely not for people who struggled to beat NSMB or even Super Princess Peach.
Whereas NSMB struggled at times in terms of variety throughout, YI DS is jam-packed with substance – so much so that newcomers to the platform scene may be overcome with awe. in disguise or a poor man’s Yoshi’s Island, think again. Be it the grunting of Yoshi, the cries of the babies when the green dinosaur is hit and loses hold of them, or the various other noises, like eggs being fired, beanstalks growing and the difference between gold and red coins being collected, everything is perfectly fitting for the adventure.Īnd what an adventure it is! For those thinking that this would merely be New Super Mario Bros.
Other than the peaceful, mellow music, with a few more upbeat tracks mixed in, Yoshi's Island DS does a fantastic job in the sound effects department. There are a couple of tracks that seem out of place, such as one country-and-western style, but even these are pleasing enough to not ruin the atmosphere. But the game still succeeds in dazzling gamers in many places something most Third Party games fail to do.Īrtoon has also done a splendid job recreating the soundtrack's feel as well, re-using snippets of tunes from the 16-bit game, but re-mastering the entire score to give this DS outing its own sense of identity. Everything also has a far more 'clean' appearance, thus detracting from the original's character to some degree. In fact, because you can tell this is not really pushing the DS, the visual appeal is somewhat negated. The SNES had to rely on its Super FX2 chip to help squeeze out the gorgeous graphics it had, with its tasty hand-drawn style, but the DS being far more powerful deals with large sprites, multiple on-screen enemies and hordes of flying eggs with the greatest of ease. With the multi-coloured Yoshi family on-hand to offer transportation, the four set about their rescue mission in this new, colourful adventure.Īnd when I say 'colourful' it is no lie, as Yoshi's Island DS is bursting with over-exuberant flair, bright shades and wonderful charisma. Thankfully, Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong and even baby Wario manage to escape his wicked clutches. In fact, it is not only baby Luigi that is lifted away to the mysterious floating castle in the sky, but lots of other young tots as well. This time round, poor Luigi has been baby-napped by the pesky magician Kamek.
