It continues the story told from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' prior to ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' in which the [[stork]] attempts to find [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]'s real parents after he learns they were delivered to the wrong couple. Mid-flight, the stork is attacked by [[Kamek]], who captures him and Baby Luigi while Baby Mario is dropped on [[Egg Island]], a location similar to [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]. There, a group of [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] discover the baby and set out to carry him back to the stork. | '''''Yoshi's New Island''''' is a 2.5D platform game developed by [[Arzest]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and the third game in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]].

The game retains many key elements from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', such as Yoshi's [[Flutter Jump]], eating and [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]-throwing abilities, and the time-based health mechanic. Many familiar objects, enemies and sceneries make a return. The highlighted features of ''Yoshi's New Island'' are two new types of eggs called [[Mega Eggdozer]]s and [[Metal Eggdozer]]s, which allow Yoshi to destroy rows of enemies, pipes and rocks in his path. Additionally, ''Yoshi's New Island'' introduces the [[Flutter Wings]] and [[Golden Flutter Wings]], which help struggling players beat levels they find too difficult, functioning similarly to the [[Invincibility Leaf]] from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. This game is the only ''Yoshi's Island'' game to have characters and objects live-rendered with 3D models, and the game takes advantage of the Nintendo 3DS effects with gyroscopic control and stereoscopic 3D.
