'''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''' a plaforming game for the [[Super NES]]. Though billed as a sequel to ''[[Super Mario World]]'', this game instead features [[Yoshi]] with a different gameplay style and set before the other ''Mario'' games. It is notable as being the first adventure game where Yoshi was the main character and also marked the first appearance of [[Poochy]]. The game features a crayon-based art style that was requested  by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].

=Story=

As a [[stork]] carries [[Mario|Baby Mario]] and [[Luigi|Baby Luigi]] to their parents, [[Kamek]] attempts to kidnap them due to seeing a prophecy that they would cause trouble for [[Bowser]]. He only succeeds in capturing Baby Luigi while Baby Mario falls to the island below. This island is [[Yoshi's Island]], and he lands on the back of a green Yoshi. All of the Yoshis work together to protect Baby Mari and save Baby Luigi.

=Gameplay=

In this game, the player controls a Yoshi (a different one in each level, as they pass Baby Mario after each level) who carries Baby Mario through each level. Unlike most platformers, Yoshi does not receive direct harm from enemies, but it will knock Baby Mario off of Yoshi's back. If Baby Mario is knocked off Yoshi for more than 10 seconds, the player loses a life and must start the level over again.

The Yoshis have a variety of moves such as swallowing enemies and throwing the eggs that are produced, as well as unleashing powerful ground pounds. They can also float for short periods of time by pedaling their feet as they jump. 

Yoshis can also temporarily transform into various vehicles throughout the game when finding special items. Among these vehicles are a race car, a submarine, a train, a mole tank, and a helicopter.

There are six worlds in the game, with each world being made up of eight regular levels and one secret level. In the Gameboy Advance remake, a secret level was added to each world.

=Legacy=

This game was prominent in fleshing out Yoshi's abilities, such as his flutter kick and his ability to throw eggs at enemies. It also acts as the first game in Yoshi's own platforming subseries.
