===Action Mode===
Action Mode or 1P is a game consisting of 10 rounds, with each round containing 10 stages. 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 at any time contains more than seven cookies, the [[Game Over|game is over]].

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:

VS Mode is a simple 2 player game, with the player also able to challenge the computer in the SNES and Game Boy versions. 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. The goal of the game is to accumulate 25 points (with each match worth one point) before the opponent to win, although a handicap adjustment exists to start with more points. 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.


The first player to win three rounds takes the match.

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]].

*The [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of ''Yoshi's Cookie'' featured a slightly-updated version of Yoshi's appearance, in which he has a bigger head, longer and more human-like arms and shorter neck. This appearance would be later used in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and later games. This game also marks the first time in-game that Yoshi's speech comprises of his name, a trait later used in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' and popularized by ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''
