Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

platforms: SNES, GBA
U.S. release: October 4, 1995

...then something magical happened. For the first time, Yoshi's Island gave players the impression that Yoshi is a capable and independent adventurer with a style and set of moves all his own. This game features not one, but many Yoshis troubling themselves to care for Baby Mario and Luigi in a fantastic platforming adventure largely considered to be the best of any Yoshi spinoff. Who knew Yoshi came in so many flavors?
