Yoshi's Cookie is a block puzzle game released simultaneously for the NES and Game Boy in 1992, and the SNES in 1993. The game was developed by Bullet Proof Software (BPS), who also published the SNES game.

Development[edit]

BPS unveiled a game at the 1992 Consumer Electronics Show called Hermetica. Nintendo acquired the rights for NES and Game Boy versions and converted the game into Yoshi's Cookie. Bullet Proof Software retained the SNES rights, but also updated the game to tie it together with the earlier titles. Bullet Proof Software published the title on SNES themselves.

Gameplay[edit]

The scenario involves Mario is baking cookies while Yoshi is waiting to be fed. The player moves a cursor around, dragging rows or columns, in order to match up same types of cookies. More cookies come in from the top and right of the play area, acting as a timer. When a complete row or column is made, it will disappear off the screen, and any new cookies will be pushed back. The stage is cleared when all of the cookies have been eaten by Yoshi.

In puzzle mode, new cookies do not appear, but all of the cookies on-screen have to be cleared within a limited amount of moves.

Legacy[edit]

Ports/Remakes[edit]

  • In Japan, an alternate version called Yoshi no Cookie : Kuruppon Oven de Cookie was released for the Super Famicom in 1994 as a limited promotional item to promote the new Kuruppon Oven. Developed by National Human Electronics, this version contains the original game as well as a new mode in which Yoshi navigates a map and teaches tutorials which display how to bake different types of cookies like the ones featured in the game in real life.
  • In 2008, the NES version of Yoshi's Cookie was released for download over the Wii's Virtual Console. However, it was removed from the service in 2013 in all regions except for South Korea.
