Yoshis island. Yoshi's island is one of the best snes games ever made. The graphics look like it was drawn with a crayon which looks pretty. This would introduce many of yoshi's skills like the flutter jump and egg shoot. Gameplay is platformer and it's challenging if you want to collect everything.

A number of changes were made to the international version, mostly graphical in nature.

Title Screen

JapanUSAEurope

In Japan, the title is simply Super Mario: Yoshi Island. The international versions were instead marketed as a sequel to Super Mario World. The European version removed the ®.

Map Icons

Japan
International

The Japanese icons for extra stages have a red and orange background, while the international versions added a star. In addition, the 'Extra' stages are called スペシャル, 'Special' stages in the Japanese version.

Japan
International

The international versions have generic icons for the bonus stages. The Japanese version has enough room to fit the bonus game names in the icons.

JapanUSEurope

The US and European versions have a completely different SCORE icon. Note that the US version changed the color of the buttons to purple. Since the controls menu in the US version wasn't changed, this was a bit pointless.

The squished balloon was redrawn a bit here. Yoshi's hands also seem to have been rounded out.

Japan
International

A slight alteration to the fins of the Cheep-Cheep in the stage icon for World 4-6.

Control Options

Japan
International

The letters on the buttons were bolded in the international versions. Oddly enough, the US version didn't update the colors of the buttons despite the updated control icon.

Score Screens

Japan
International

The font on the pause and total score screens was made thicker in the international versions.

Tutorial Graphics

Japan
International

The sound effect 'pon' is removed from the tutorial graphics of Yoshi making eggs. This is about equivalent to the sound effect 'poof' in English. It's also the sound Yoshi makes when laying eggs in later games.

Japan
International

More sound graphics removal. 'Bun' is a swishing sound.

Mini-Game Graphics

Yet another sound effect graphic removed. In the Balloon Popping mini-game, this graphic appears when the incorrect balloon is popped. This is 'suka', a sound effect used to represent a miss, like the sound of a bat whiffing.

Japan
International

The Japanese version has 当, the Kanji for Win/Hit, surrounded by a circle of stars when the correct balloon is popped. This was changed to a giant star for the international release.

World 6-Extra

Japan
International

An alternate romanization for Yoshi's Japanese name is 'Yossy', as shown here. In the international versions of the game, this section of World 6-Extra was changed to reflect the common spelling. The layout changes make this section of the level more difficult. This difference also exists in Super Mario Advance 3.

Revisional Differences

Score Screens

Japan 1.0
Japan 1.1

The nouns were pluralized, the string of dots were altered with the one by 'Coins' changing from 5 to 6, and the one by 'Points' changing from 6 to 5.
