Over time, Yoshi’s Island has only become more praised by gamers everywhere. Little did I know that it was actually a sequel to the acclaimed Super Mario World, which likely added to the popularity of the game. I had for the longest time assumed that Yoshi’s Island was its own standalone game that spawned a series. Even though I was young, I still knew a fantastic game when I played it (though trust me, I’ve got some nostalgia-goggles for some terrible games).
I do remember hours of fun with my older brother, as seems to be the case with me and most SNES and N64 games, and luckily I got to relive them. I don’t think we owned it since I actually had to purchase it about 4-5 years ago (subjective use of the phrase “had to”). I do remember going to my dad’s office and getting to play in the meeting room with the projector they had there. I don’t actually remember how I played Yoshi’s Island as a kid.
As always, a friendly reminder that this post may contain spoilers.
