'''''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''''' ( | '''''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''''' (frequently referred to simply as '''''Yoshi's Island''''') is a 2D [[Genre#Platform|platform]] game for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], developed by [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development|Nintendo EAD]]. The game is the prequel to ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and it stars [[Yoshi]] and the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi clan]] who, while carrying [[baby Mario]], travel across [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] to rescue [[baby Luigi]] from [[baby Bowser]] and his [[Magikoopa]] minion/caretaker, [[Kamek]]. Instead of relying on jumping and a power-up system for combat as in the traditional ''Super Mario'' platformers, Yoshis use their tongue and eggs to overcome obstacles, as well as the introduction of many other different mechanics. The game is notable for introducing a time-based health system rather than hit points, an anomaly to what many platform games typically did in this game's time period. Rather than relying on powerful pre-rendered graphics just like its contemporary ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' employs a very distinct, stylized arts and crafts style to stand on its own. The game makes use of the Super FX2 graphics chip (one of only four commercially-released SNES games to do so), which allows for larger, more detailed sprites and more advanced effects that emulate 3D space. | ||
Although ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' was not as financially successful as its predecessor, the game's highly positive reception and unique style has spawned [[Yoshi's Island (series)|a new series]] of platform games from the ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' franchise, although it is the fourth entry overall. The game has received various adaptations into manga, such as receiving volumes dedicated to it in the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' and [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Kodansha's ''Super Mario'' manga series]] and extensive [[List of merchandise|merchandising]]. This is the only ''Yoshi's Island'' game to be released on a home console. The game has received a [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]] on the [[Game Boy Advance]], ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', which was released on [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] (with owners applicable for the [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program|Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program]] being able to download the game for free) and [[Wii U]]. The original SNES version of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' is included on the [[Classics#Super NES Classic Edition|SNES Classic Edition]], and although it was never announced for release on Virtual Console on any other system, it is one of the 20 launch titles for [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]] on the [[Nintendo Switch]]. A sequel, ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', was released in 2006 for the [[Nintendo DS]]. In 2014, the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' continues the story told from the first game. | |||

The setting of the game takes place on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], which is the first world setting of ''Super Mario World''. The island portrayed in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', however, is much larger in scale and comes with a larger variety of biomes and characters endemic to the island as players progress through the game. The game contains six worlds with eight regular levels each, retaining the eight level per world structure first normalized by ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', having a consistent amount of levels per world, and every fourth and eighth level of the world features a boss fight against an enemy enlarged by Kamek. All worlds have particular themed biomes, such as [[World 1 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 1]] having a grasslands while [[World 6 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 6]] has a stronger theme around caverns and lava as the player closer approaches [[King Bowser's Castle]]; this theming of levels has been carried in further entries of the ''Yoshi's Island'' series. Unlike ''Super Mario World'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' does not employ use of a world map and relies on a level select screen, which is represented by color-coded folders containing icons that preview the levels, and these levels are named after their features than rather than using generic numbered identifies, such as the third level of World 3 being called [[Nep-Enut's Domain]] rather simply being called World 3-3. One notable aspect of the level icons is that all Yoshis in their previews are Green Yoshis, despite Green Yoshis being used only in the first levels of each world, the Extra levels and King Bowser's Castle. While most levels have players moving on their own accord, a few levels are autoscrollers, with the first one being encountered in [[Hop! Hop! Donut Lifts]] in World 1. | The setting of the game takes place on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], which is the first world setting of ''Super Mario World''.
