The SNES version received a Japan-only [[Super Famicom]] re-release, titled ''[[Yoshi no Cookie: Kuruppon Oven de Cookie]]'' with an added mode. Additionally, a Japan-only remake for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] was included in ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]'', where it was bundled alongside ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Tetris Attack#Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]''. The remake added a story mode the previous three versions lacked. ''Yoshi's Cookie'' was later ported to the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii|Virtual Console]] in 2008, but it was delisted from the service on October 2013 in all regions except South Korea.

The objective of the game is to clear the stage of cookies, which appear from the top and the right of the screen. To clear cookies, the player needs an entire row of the same cookies either horizontally or vertically. To move the cookies, the player has to press {{button|nes|A}}/{{button|gb|A}}/{{button|snes|A}} on a cookie and press a direction on the directional pad. Depending on the direction the player presses, the row the cookie is on is then moved either vertically or horizontally. There are six types of cookies: heart cookies, sunflower cookies, green cookies, checkered cookies, ring shaped cookies, and [[Yoshi Cookie]]s (shaped like [[Yoshi]]'s head). The game consists of two modes: Action and VS. The third mode, Puzzle, is exclusive to the SNES version. | The objective of the game is to clear the stage of cookies, which appear from the top and the right of the screen.

Depending on the direction the player presses, the row the cookie is on is then moved either vertically or horizontally. There are six types of cookies: heart cookies, sunflower cookies, green cookies, checkered cookies, ring shaped cookies, and [[Yoshi Cookie]]s (shaped like [[Yoshi]]'s head). The Yoshi Cookie can be used as a substitute for other cookies, allowing the player to eliminate rows of cookies without the proper piece(s). The game consists of two modes: Action and VS. The third mode, Puzzle, is exclusive to the SNES version. | ||

Before the game starts, the player can set the round which who wants to play in, the falling speed of the blocks and the music. The player must clear all of the blocks to clear a stage. As time passes, more cookies appear from the top and the right, which speeds up the longer the player is in a stage. If a row or column of cookies at any time contains more than seven cookies, the [[Game Over|game is over]]. | ||
After the player beats a round, who can view a short, humorous cutscene with [[Mario]]. | |||
Clearing 15 cookies of one type in the same stage causes a Yoshi Cookie to generate, and that cookie's counter resets to zero. | |||
Rounds 11-99 are also unlockable; within these rounds, the cookies are replaced by Mario enemies (except for the Yoshi Cookie), resembling the graphics from the original ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'' game. These rounds also add Koopa Troopa shells; the Koopa tiles do not materialize from the corners of the screen, and as such, can only be eliminated via the Yoshi-shaped cookies. To access the later rounds in the NES and Game Boy versions (as revealed in the game's ending), the player must do the following: | |||
*Set the music type to "Off". | |||
*Set the speed to "Hi". | |||
*Set the round to "10"; then hold Up + Select to advance to round 11. | |||

The player starts off by picking one of four characters (except in the NES version): Mario, [[Princess Peach|Princess]], Yoshi, or [[Bowser]]. The GameCube version can be played with up to four players. | ||
*Mario is a balanced character. | |||
*Yoshi has stronger defenses against attacks, with the length of effects received from other players halved. The event shown appears for a longer time as Yoshi. | |||
*The Princess has weaker defenses, meaning that events received from other players will have a longer duration on the Princess. The event shown appears for a shorter time as the Princess. | |||
*Bowser has more powerful attacks, but the timer drains faster. | |||
The goal of the game is to accumulate 25 points (with each match worth one point) before the opponent to win. The player must make a match within the time limit, as allowing the time bar to fill up (or the fuse to run out) will result in a loss for the player. | Each player has a 5×5 board.

Beating all four computer opponents in single-player mode in the SNES version of the game unlocks four more opponents, who appear as simple palette-swaps of the original four. They also have different attributes than the original four opponents. They are a green Mario similar to [[Fire Mario|Fire Luigi]], a red [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], a light-blue Princess Peach, and a blue Bowser similar to [[Bowser's Brother]]. | |||
