I was so excited about this game and by coincidence I stayed over at Tonys house the night I got it so I envisioned a fun evening of the two of us playing it together; he spent the entire time play A Link to the Past while I slowly went mad.. Yoshi is great fun to play as with his egg making and throwing and trying to get 100 points on each level is a very good incentive to fully explore each one. Yoshi can't die from normal damage as long as he can catch Baby Mario within 10-30 seconds which is a refreshing change from the norm even if that baby's cry could split stones and sent our mother running in to find out why there was a baby in the house the first time she heard it. I love the graphics in this game, all hand-drawn crayons and patchwork quilt, they're so charming. Also gotta give credit to whoever decided Yoshi should transform into a helicopter, a train, a submarine, a mole tank and even a car for one level only.
