- Name's the Same: The theme for the cave levels is called 'Crystal Caves'. There's also a level in Donkey Kong 64 called 'Crystal Caves'.
- Real Life Writes the Plot: Notice how in this game and successive Yoshi-themed games that if you complete them with top marks, you get a red flower drawn on your results? This is actually a tradition/cliche in Japan dating back to primary schools where if the teacher is especially pleased with your work, you get a flower circle drawn on the paper. Essentially, the Japanese version of getting a gold star in America.
- Recycled Set: The Advance version recycles sounds originally used in Yoshi's Story.
- Market-Based Title: Most likely to play on the success of Super Mario World, the original game was named Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island in North America and Europe, despite the fact that it is a prequel. In Japan, it was simply called Super Mario: Yossy Island. In all countries, the Super Mario World 2 part is dropped completely from the GBA port, in favor of Super Mario Advance 3.
- Moved to the Next Console: Touch & Go started life as a Gamecube title before being moved to the DS to utilize the handheld's features.
- Sequel Gap: Twice. DS was released 11 years after the original. Yoshi's New Island was released eight years after DS.
- Speedrun: Comes in three flavors—glitched, any% glitchless, and 100%.
- Trope Namer: For Ground Pound.
- What Could Have Been:
- There may have been points in the game where you control Baby Mario himself without the star, as there are Dummied Out sprites featuring him crawling and even a Yoshi-less victory pose.
- There are also unused transformations for Yoshi in the game, including a mushroom, a plane, and a walking tree.
- There's an oft-told story that Shigeru Miyamoto's bosses at Nintendo were so impressed with the original Donkey Kong Countrynote that they wanted this game to go in a similar direction, which Shigeru Miyamoto disagreed with, creating the well received crayon-style graphics as an act of rebellion.

Yoshi’s Island: Unused Sprites SNES It’s not all that uncommon that a game takes a slight change in direction. If games didn’t end up different from beta to final release, Unseen 64 would be out of a job! Something gets cut out due to money and/or time constraints: Yoshi’s Island is no different.
