Profile[edit]

Player's Guide description: Enemies in the cool pine woods of World 2 would love to throw Yoshi for a loop. The Baseball Boys heave the horsehide high and hard, while lurking Lakitus toss bombs on his trail. A chill wind blows no good, so chow down on the wind-riding Gusties and hop down the nearest cave. When the going gets tough, though, the baby gets going. At opportune moments, Mario will morph into Super Mario and perform deeds of derring-do with Yoshi on his back.[1]
