| Yoshi's Island DS |
|---|
Developer: Artoon This game has unused areas. |
Yoshi's Island DS is the direct sequel to Yoshi's Island. While the first game just had Baby Mario, this one features four other baby characters Yoshi can bring with him to enhance his abilities. Despite the cutesy appearance and mishmash of old and new artstyles, the game is still as unforgiving in difficulty as its big brother.
- 2Unused Levels
- 6Revisional Differences
Level Select
If the game tries to load a nonexistant .mpdz file, it will instead load an unused title screen, which also functions as a level select. ...Unfortunately, you aren't able to see your button inputs, so you'll have to count. The order goes 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc. until 1-E, at which point it goes to 2-1. Repeat until 5-E, at which point the last 'level' on the list is the enemy museum.
Controls:
- A/B/Start: Enter the level specified.
- Right/Left: Cycle through the level to go to.
- Up/Down: Press down to instead cycle (with Right/Left) through the subareas of the level you have selected; press up to go back to choosing a level.
- Select: Cycle through the music that will be playing in the level.
- R/L: Cycle through the baby you will have in the level.
- X/Y: Unused...?
You can use the following action replay code to replace the prologue level with the level select:
| USA | Europe | Japan | Korea |
|---|---|---|---|
| USA Rev. 1 | Europe Rev. 1 | ||
Unused Levels
Levels are crsb/cscn files, which call upon the map data files (mpdz) and define things such as entrances/exits, the amount of areas in the level, and starting positions.
13w1009.mpdz and 14k5146.mpdz
These are the only two mpdz files in the game's data that are never called upon in any crsb file. Fittingly, they crash the game when attempting to be loaded. In the case of 14k5146.mpdz, it's revealed when opening the file up in a hex editor that it's barebones and contains no level data defined.
Interestingly enough, both of these levels exist in the USA Kiosk Demo, and can actually be loaded, revealing what they were.
- 13w1009 was a work-in-progress version of an Enemy Museum room.
- 14k5146 was a work-in-progress version of Gilbert the Gooey.
Unused Graphics
An early Press Start graphic, meant to be used for the unused title screen shown above.
Graphics for character coins of Baby Wario and Baby Bowser. In the final game, only character coins for the first three babies appear in regular gameplay.
These two egg-looking objects are present in the graphics for the first adult Bowser fight. For whatever reason, they lack a palette; the one used here is from another file.
Bowser was perhaps once meant to retreat inside of his shell; present in the graphics for the first adult Bowser fight. (As a side-note, did you know that the sprites for adult Bowser are actually rotoscoped from Yoshi Topsy-Turvy, which Artoon also developed?)
An unused tileset meant for test rooms. Several test rooms present in the USA Kiosk Demo use it.
| Used (objtitle3_J.arz) |
|---|
An early graphic for the Adventure Mode button on the main menu. Yoshi was touched up, as was Baby Mario.
| Used (objtitle3_J.arz) |
|---|
An early graphic for the Time Trial Mode button on the main menu. Unlike the Adventure Mode graphic, this one is entirely different; it seems that the Time Trial mode was once planned to be something else. It reads 'Mario Clear Mode'.
Flashing Eggs
While the flashing eggs from the previous game make a cameo appearance in Secret 5, they can not be obtained or thrown.
However, by hacking them into Yoshi's inventory, one finds that they're fully functional and still retain their original use: they will create a red coin when thrown at an enemy.
Gather six eggs, and use the following action replay code to change all of them into flashing eggs.
| USA | Europe | Japan | Korea |
|---|---|---|---|
| USA Rev. 1 | Europe Rev. 1 | ||
Build Date
Present in stamp.rc are build dates, in YYMMDD format.

Revisional Differences
| To do: Higher quality rips of music. Where is extra fanfare used in jp/kr? USA Rev 1 and Europe Rev 1.) |

Levels with rain were modified, possibly to make it more visible for the player.

Level 2-4 had a gauntlet room altered - some vases and chairs were removed. In spite of it making the area easier, this might have been done to avoid lag issues. Also noticable in the comparison are differences between the vase's palette - the chairs also have a small difference in their palette.
| Japan, Korea |
|---|
Level 3-4 received a significant update. At one point, Yoshi must push a vase off a ledge to receive a key. In the Japanese and Korean versions, it was placed on a small pillar; because of this, the coins were moved.
| Japan, Korea |
|---|
A healthy amount of graphical glitches were fixed between the versions.
Music
| 2007 |
|---|
The final boss music in the first-released USA/EUR is incredibly short, and seems to be missing a second half. The later-released Japanese and Korean versions fixed this, adding the rest of the song, along with modifying the french horns to be higher pitched.
Yoshi's Island World 3-6
The Japanese and Korean versions have an extra fanfare in the .sdat folder titled 'J22'. All other versions only go up to 'J21'.
Other
- The Japanese and Korean version display small descriptions of what option is highlighted in the main menu.
- The Japanese and Korean versions had the order the minigames are presented in the menu altered.
- Some transition effects were altered between versions.

Hint: Defeating Big Bowser:
When you defeat the mini-Bowser, it will turn big. Target the big egg at its head, then press A. Do this eight times quickly and he will be defeated.
Hint: Defeating Naval Piranha Plant:
When you arrive in the Boss room where that small plant is located, step on the first block on the platform, then shoot a egg at him. However, do not go further than the first block on the platform or Kamek will appear and turn that small plant to a huge monster.
Hint: Kill shooting flowers:
Stand besides a shooting flower until its smiling face pops out. When it does, quickly eat a yellow ball and spit it out again. Do this repeatedly until all of the balls are gone. When this is done, every time its head pops out, it should be empty and harmless.
Hint: World 1-7: Easy lives:
Pick up a Rollie-Pollie Guy with your tounge. Do not turn him into an egg or spit him out for anyone until you get to the pipe that spits out Shy-Guys. Once there, spit the Rollie-Pollie Guy out into a 1 (square) hole on the right of the pipe. Once placed, jump onto the platform above and to the right of it. Let the Shy-Guys jump out of the pipe and onto the Rollie-Pollie Guy. Points will accumulate and will eventually give you 1-Ups continually. After a few hours, you will have 999 lives.
Hint: World 1-7: Coins:
At the beginning of the level when you see the two flashing brown eggs, get them. Shoot the brown eggs at the two brown spike opponent next to the silver spike opponent and to get two red coins.
Hint: World 1-9: Easy lives:
Grab a Melon Bug (the bug that curls when you approach) and take him to the Shy-Guy Pipe (where the Shy Guys appear from). Look up and shoot the bug. If done correctly, the bug should fall in the tiny space on the right side of the pipe, between it and landscape. Stand on the elevated surface and make sure you have no eggs. The Shy Guys will pop out towards you, but hit the bug. You will keep getting extra lives until you have 100. Then, get a perfect completion on World 5 and you will get the roulette game. If you get the X3; you will get 300 lives.
Hint: World 2-3: Use Star through rest of level:
In World 2-3, What's Gusty Taste Like?, collect the Star and run as far as you can, killing the enemies. Go back and wait for the Star to come towards you. Once it bounces back in another area, collect it and run through the rest of the level, and more Stars will be created. At the end of the level, you can collect Coins and Stars from the brick below the last Star. If you do not want to stop, run back to the left and back to the right again. The Star will appear again.
Hint: World 3-1: Hidden area
There is a location in the water in World 3-1 where you can go beneath a land mass to access a hidden area, by jumping off of a giant spring arrow. If you curve to the side and go above the normal hidden entrance, you should enter an area where you will be falling towards nothing. Keep going right (stay in the air as long as possible) until you reach the edge. You will be teleported to World 1-1 (and gain credit toward World 3-1) where you can gain more red coins and hearts than the maximum. It will only go to the top, but it will be 10 times easier to perfect the level.
Hint: World 3-1: Warp to World 5:
On World 3-1, select any character and fall down the waterfall. There is a door at the bottom. Go inside and find the potion. Throw it near the vase and go inside. Enter the vase, which will warp you to World 5.
Hint: World 4-1: Easy lives:
Go up the first steep hill until you get to three pipes and a Koopa walking around. Two will have Piranha plants and one will be a Shy-Guy generator. Throw away an egg so Shy-Guys will start jumping out. Kill the two Piranha plants, eat the Koopa and stand on the pipe. Spit the Koopa shell towards the Shy-Guys. The shell will bounce between the two pipes, knocking out the Shy-Guys. As soon as ten Shy-Guys are knocked out, you will start getting a 1-Up for each consecutive Shy-Guy. The shell will keep bouncing around, killing the Shy-Guys that pop out. You can get up to 999 lives this way.
Hint: World 4-8: Defeating the monstrous Koopa:
When you see the Koopa turn into a giant Koopa, wait for him to pull himself up or quickly throw an egg on its head. Then, throw eggs on its head three times. This will send him to the ground. While he is on the ground, Ground Pound him before he recovers. Repeat this process three times to defeat it. Note: To obtain more eggs, jump onto his shell or on its head. Eggs will be spit out.
Hint: World 5-4: Free mini-games:
Go to a door on your left. Use a POW block or '?' and go to the door and get the secret code. This code will give you free mini-games when you go to the level selection screen.
Hint: World 6-3: Hidden area:
In the second area of World 6-3, jump and touch the left side of the first spinning log, then float to the right and move up against the wall.
Hint: Naval Piranha's Lair: Full stars:
After you go underground in the pipes with water in them, you will reach a place where you hit the arrows with eggs, and you can get the stuff above the water. One of the info blocks always gives you two stars whenever you hit it with an egg. Since there is an egg block near by, you can do this until you have 30 Stars.
Hint: Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy: Unlimited lives:
Grab a Melon Bug (the creature that rolls up into a ball) and go to the pipe with Shy Guys jumping out of it. Spit the Melon Bug close to the pipe on the left-hand side. When Shy Guys jump out, after a while you will get a '1-Up' for each time a Shy Guy hits the Melon Bug when it is in its melon form.
Hint: Welcome To Cloud World: Followed by eggs:
In this level or any other that has a large fat creature with many following behind it, Ground Pound the large one and the baby ones will follow you as eggs. When you throw one, it will loop and come back to you.
Glitch: Yoshi does flips:
When you find an enemy that you cannot defeat by jumping on them, repeatedly Ground Pound them. It will look as if Yoshi is doing flips on the enemy. Note:You must do this very fast.
In World 1-11, 'Poochy Ain't Stupid', you can have Poochy free roaming without the scrolling course. At the start of the level, keep jumping on Bats without hitting the 'scrolling course barrier' until you get on top of the wall to the wall that is to the left of you at the start of the level. Once on top, jump and keep doing Yoshi's 'flutter' or 'floating' move until you reach what appears to be an island. Land on it. Then, jump off to the right, fluttering until you reach an island surrounded by lava. Poochy should see you and run over. You now can go through the entire course without the scrolling course freely. The only drawback is if you go under the 'island' (second wall), you will hit the 'scrolling course barrier', then must ride Poochy to the end of the course.
