When I first played the game, the music and special effects really caught my attention. You will remember these guys - I sure did. Besides being huge and detailed, the bosses have a lot charm - they are squishy, frightening, and lovable. Best of all are the mini-boss and boss encounters. The levels are stunning, our hero Yoshi never looked or animated better, and all those nifty special effects work really great. The best thing about Yoshi's Island's look is that it all works. Yoshi was really alive in Yoshi's Island whenever he ate something, he would appropriately clean his face whenever he would shoot an egg, he would lean back or forward to aim whenever he would want to stomp, he'd do a mid-air flip followed by the appropriate stomp. Yoshi, the game's hero, also sported some revolutionary morphing effects whenever he transformed into a different form. Nintendo also threw in a whole lot of special effects, with some interesting-looking polygonal enemies and even 3D platforms. Even though Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island had been completed, Nintendo scrapped the game and redid it to add in it's quirky, but effective, pastel look. According to Nintendo, the graphics of DKC were too stunning for them to release a platformer without a fully inspired look. The motive for the pastel look was closely related to Rare. Mixing pastel and gameplay (along with memorable locales and bosses), Yoshi's Island is one of my all-time favorite Nintendo developed games. Dripping in variety and substance, this masterpiece is a one of a kind game. So, what's the best one out of all of them? Well, that's your opinion - but if you're a hardcore SNES fan, your answer may be Yoshi's Island. In the n64 age, we got the genre defining Super Mario 64 (and if you count Rare, Banjo-Kazooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day). On the Game Boy/Color/Advance we were treated to the highly underrated Mario Land series and the Wario Land series. On the SNES we got Super Mario World (and if you count Rare, the DKC series too). On the NES Nintendo crafted classics such as Mario Bros. When it comes to Nintendo and platformer/adventures, there is a lot to be told about. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES) review
