Yoshi Story (Japan)

Yoshi Story platform overview

Released in 1997 and developed by Nintendo, Yoshi Story for the Nintendo 64 is a charming storybook platformer where you guide a crew of Yoshis through worlds made of paper and cardboard. It's the direct follow-up to the SNES classic Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, but switches from Baby Mario rescue duties to gathering fruit in vibrant chapters. Yoshi Story includes region marker: Japan, which helps separate this page from nearby ports, regional releases, and similarly named entries.

• Yoshi Story version details
  Yoshi Story includes region marker: Japan, which helps separate this page from nearby ports, regional releases, and similarly named entries. The strongest visible context is the N64 platform and its general play style. Emulator core: n64.
• Papercraft Platforming Worlds
  Navigating the six worlds feels like running through a pop-up book--from construction paper suns to cardboard castles--creating a cohesive storybook feel rather than disconnected levels.
• Eat, Poop, Throw
  This core loop drives the game: use your tongue to suck up Shy Guys, press Z to turn them into eggs, and aim your cursor to lob them. Mastering bomb eggs to crack certain blocks still requires solid timing.
• Melon Hunts and True Endings
  I spent hours learning you need a melon in the finish block to keep your full health for the next stage--eating only apple-level fruit locks you into the 'sad ending' on the first playthrough, a surprising twist for many first-time players.
