Talk:Yoshi's Island (series)

The official Yoshi's Island series
The Super Mario Memorial Book actually explicitly mentions the Yoshi's Island series, indicating as part of it only the games that have Yoshi's Island in the name:


 * Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
 * Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island
 * ''Yoshi's Island DS
 * ''Yoshi's New Island

Yoshi's Woolly World is mentioned elsewhere in the same book, so it is not on the list on purpose, not because of when it was released.

Should we follow this official guideline?--Mister Wu (talk) 11:43, 19 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Does it have Yoshi's Story in that book? Then I might be able to answer. But to answer the question without that knowledge, Yoshi's Woolly World should not be included. 11:48, 19 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Yoshi's Story (『ヨッシーストーリー』is indeed mentioned in that book, in Yoshi's bio.--Mister Wu (talk) 12:48, 19 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Re: Mr. Wu - absolutely. - Reboot (talk) 12:31, 19 October 2016 (EDT)

To add some context, here's the description of the series in the book:

「ベビィマリオが登場するスピンオフシリーズ

『ヨッシーアイランド』シリーズ』

ヨッシーが赤ちゃん姿のベビィマリオを守りながら冒険を繰り広げる横スクロールアクション. 敵の攻撃を受けるとベビィマリオが離れてしまい、急いで助けなければならないというドキドキのシステムが面白い. 」

This is Yoshi's bio contained in the same book:

「ヨッシー

『スーパーマリオワールド』で初めて登場. マリオたちの冒険をサポートして、一躍人気キャラクターとなった. 『ヨッシーのたまご』、『ヨッシーストーリー』、『ヨッシーアイランド』など、主役作も非常に多い. 」

And finally, here's a screenshot of the page where Yoshi's Woolly World is mentioned.--Mister Wu (talk) 13:24, 19 October 2016 (EDT)
 * You probably don't know. I don't speak Japanese. Just English. 13:35, 19 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Don't worry, I don't either, and I just use online translators plus a bit more in depth approach (e.g. trying to understand the meaning of single words when needed) to translate them. Still, some users know Japanese, so this text can be useful for them.--Mister Wu (talk) 14:29, 19 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Can you give me the best translation then. I don't have that feature. 14:40, 19 October 2016 (EDT)
 * This is just a preliminary translation, far from being correct:


 * Spin-off series that introduced Baby Mario
 * "Yoshi's Island" series
 * Yoshi's adventure in protecting Baby Mario unfolds in side scrolling action. When hit by enemies Baby Mario will go away, with an interesting system that makes you hurry to help him.


 * Yoshi
 * He first appeared in Super Mario World. He supported Mario in his adventure, and suddenly became a popular character. He's the protagonist in many games, such as Yoshi's Egg, Yoshi's Story, Yoshi's Island, etc.


 * If you want to use the description of the series as a source to guide the creation of this page, I highly recommend to ask a user who actually know Japanese for a proper translation. I might also add a photo of that box if you want to look at it and have it translated fully, but due to copyright concerns, it's better if you are first sure if you really need it, as there is little more added to the text I reported and the list I made.--Mister Wu (talk) 18:07, 19 October 2016 (EDT)
