Mario, Mario - where fore art thou, Mario? With the Ultra 64 only a few months away, the era of the Super NES is almost over and we've still only seen one 16-bit Mario game. I tell ya, it really makes my blood boil. That's why it's so cool to see Yoshii's Island: Super Mario World 2 make it out before the Super NES fades away. The game may not actually have Mario in it, but you can feel his touch in every aspect of the gameplay.
The graphics are very reminiscent of Super Mario World - resembling it perhaps too closely. SMW was the first game ever for the Super NES, and 16-bit graphics (especially Nintendo's) have come a long way since then. Fortunately, the gameplay is solid throughout. As Yoshi, Mario's dino-buddy from SMW, it's your job to return a lost baby to its home. The quirky, cutesy puzzle-laden action that earned Mario the big bucks is present in every inch of every stage, with new enemies and play mechanics thrown in to spice up the mix.
Still, Yoshi's Island could've been done better. It doesn't really need rendered graphics, just more time put into a project that Nintendo clearly didn't have faith in (they almost didn't bring it to our shores). Hopefully Nintendo is gonna concentrate on these types of games more in the future. They may not appeal to the 'blood 'n' gore' audience that the company has worked so hard to win over, but there's always a place in gamers' hearts for a fun, well-made game. And Nintendo - please don't skimp on the Ultra 64 Mario. We've been patent for way too long.
World 2 is the second world of the game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. It consists of 10 levels, and like every other world, it has six regular levels, a Fort, a Castle, an extra level, the Scratch and MatchBonus Game, and a secret level (GBA only). Most of the levels in the world are set on forested mountains or in dusky uplands.
List of Levels in World 2[edit]Here are all the levels in World 2: Visit Koopa And Para-Koopa[edit]The first appearance of Koopa Troopa alongside with Para-Koopa. This level is very mountainous and has a lot of falling rocks that can crush Yoshi or simply fall into a pit. Poochy also makes an appearance in this level. In one area, the screen scrolls slowly upwards as Yoshi has to avoid falling rocks that pile-up on each other Tetris-style. Also, this is the first time Baby Mario can morph into Superstar Mario. The Baseball Boys[edit]Both Sluggers and Green Gloves team up here, to create a pitcher and a batter. The player must watch out, since the eggs they throw or deflect back might push the player into a hazard such as Spikes. What's Gusty Taste Like?[edit]This is Gusty's first appearance in the game, and half of the level takes place in a forest, while the other half takes place in a cave. A bonus minigame room is also located here as well. Bigger Boo's Fort[edit]A fort with many Boos and Big Boos. This is also the first appearance of Boo Man Bluff. Many Fangs aid Bigger Boo in the fight, and a lot of ! Switches can be found in this level too. Watch Out For Lakitu[edit]Lakitu, Cactus Jack, and a Pokey make their first appearances throughout the game. This stage has a lot of Shy-Guys in it, and is also the first time that Yoshi is able to transform into a Train. The Cave Of The Mystery Maze[edit]The player starts outside in the beginning of the level. They are soon in an underground room once they hit the Winged Cloud containing a door. The player is then in a smoke filled room, and carefully advances to reach another room that leads outside to a beachside area. Lakitu's Wall[edit]Many Wall Lakitus are seen in this level. The player is also in a mountainous area, filled with falling ledges and coins. Fat Guys make their first appearance here too. The Potted Ghost's Castle[edit]The boss of World 2, along with two green Shy-Guys aiding him. This level contains many areas in which Yoshi is inside a pipe, along with thorns. Yoshi is also able to transform into a train in this level. Hit That Switch!![edit]The second Extra level in the game. The player has to quickly advance while hitting the ! Switches and avoiding Piranha Plants. There is also a pipe in the beginning that contains stars, which is the only time the player is able to get them too. Mystery of the Castle?[edit]This level contains a maze which is very complex. There is also a section in which the player needs to ride Flatbed Ferries in order to advance throughout the level. Bonus-2[edit]Collecting 800 points (700 in the remake) unlocks Scratch and Match to play anytime.
