Yoshi's Story (JP) (formerly known as Yoshi's Story 64 in beta) is a video game for the Nintendo 64 home console. It was released in 1997 in Japan and 1998 elsewhere, and is the first Yoshi platformer not featuring Mario. While the exact time the game takes place is unknown, it is expected that it takes place after the events of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Island DS, and Yoshi's New Island.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay will seem familiar to fans of Yoshi's Island on the SNES. Your main forms of attacking is eating the enemy, jumping on them, or throwing your helpful Yoshi Eggs at your opponents. The flutter-jump also makes a return, which allows the dinosaur to jump pretty high. To produce eggs, Yoshi must eat an enemy or use a special box.
To beat a level, Yoshi must eat a certain amount of fruit. Each colored Yoshi has his own special fruit that will both raise his health more than other fruits, and give him more points. All the Yoshis love the melon fruit.
Yoshis' favorite foods[]
- Blue & Light Blue Yoshi - These two colored Yoshis love the taste of fresh purple grapes.
- Red & Pink Yoshi - Red and Pink Yoshis love apples.
- Green Yoshi - The Green Yoshi's favorite is a watermelon.
- Yellow Yoshi - Yellow Yoshis desire yellow bananas.
- Black & White Yoshi - These two secret Yoshis love every type of fruit that they can get their hands on.
The object of the game is not solely to make it through every level, but to finish each level with a high "happiness score". The player should concentrate on searching not just for fruit, but for the correct fruit. For example, if using Yellow Yoshi, one should search for bananas and melons along with the lucky fruit. This will result in a high score at the end of each level.
