Anyone who has cracked all the levels in Mario All-Stars is going to breeze through this in no time at all. I'm not the world's greatest gamesplayer by any means, but I completed the game less than three hours after first plugging it in, and by the end of the first day I'd opened up 16 of the 24 levels. By the end of my second day's play, I only had two levels left to see! Even if you've never played a Nintendo platform game before, you're not likely to find Yoshi's Story all that taxing to beat.
Most of the time, Yoshi dies not from running into enemies or being hit by objects but from falling into holes if you misjudge a jump, and once you know where they are they cease to be much of a menace. You don't have to be Einstein or De Bono to figure out the puzzles, such as they are, and the bosses - one gang after the third chapter, and Bowser at the end - are absurdly simple to defeat. Even Mischief Makers is both bigger and more challenging! It's not necessarily a better game to play than Yoshi's Story, as Treasure's title isn't nearly as polished as Nintendo's, but it's got more variation in the gameplay and will take longer to complete.
It sounds almost sacrilegious to say it, but Yoshi's Story would have benefited from being a bit more like Mischief Makers. The letter's linear structure is, ironically, very similar to that of the original Yoshi's Island, and Yoshi's Story would have been much better if players had had to go through all 24 levels in a set order instead of meandering through them on successive plays.
As it stands, you only have to complete six levels to finish the game, and though there's still the extra challenge of trying to open up the other levels, it's not quite so much fun going through a story if you already know the ending! While I'm complaining, I might as well mention a couple of nitpicking faults - once you've completed the game you have to physically reset the N64 to play again rather than just being able to press Start, and when you finish a level there's no way to skip through the time-consuming scoring screens and, infuriatingly, the 30 seconds of scrolling Japanese exposition and wincingly irksome Yoshi song.
These are only minor annoyances, but Nintendo games don't normally have these kinds of irritations at all! Yoshi's Story is rather a flawed gem. Although it's made with Nintendo's usual flawless production values and looks absolutely gorgeous, the fact remains that it's shamelessly recycling past glories instead of offering anything new or innovative, and it is just far too easy to be good value.
It pains me to do it, but the limited lifespan of Yoshi's Story means that for the first time ever in 64 Magazine, a first-party Nintendo game can't be given an automatic recommendation.
Let's just hope this is a one-off. The sequel to one of the most underrated Super NES games of all time is almost finished, and will be available in Japan by the time you're reading this.
In Yoshi's Story, the main goal is to collect fruits hidden throughout each stage in the game's six worlds. There are six different Yoshis you can choose from in each stage differing only in color , and no sign of that irritating baby Mario anywhere thank goodness! The game controls much like the first Yoshi, but with some nice enhancements. For one, everything is controlled with the analog Control Stick. So now Yoshi can lash his tongue out in any direction possible, and aiming eggs is much easier than it used to be just press the button to throw, and move the target anywhere on the screen with the Control Stick.
And in addition to a variety of cool moves both old and new , Yoshi now has the ability to swim. We don't need to tell you how incredible the graphics are-these screen shots speak for themselves.
But if you think this is nice, just wait until you see the game in motion. Be sure to check back next month when we blow the doors open on Nintendo's latest masterpiece in our in-depth preview of Yoshi's Story. Formerly Yoshi's Island 64, Yoshi's Story also tentatively titled is the next big platform game to hit the Nintendo What's different about Yoshi's Story compared to other N64 platformers is that it's a good old-fashioned two-dimensional side-scroller.
The simple story line involves our favorite to get out of a magically transformed "picture book" world and into the real world well, real to Yoshi's anyway. Besides our familiar green Yoshi, you can play as one of five other different-colored Yoshis. Expect to see the same awesome, traditional gameplay that put Nintendo on the map of success.
With the amazing 3-D powers of the N64, it would seem that standard 2-D platform games were going to be left behind. Luckily for fans of the classic side-scroller, Nintendo is going to be bringing Yoshi's Island 64 to its powerhouse system. This means that the game is 2-D, but the 3-D graphics add an extra dimension to the game.
The hand-drawn graphics have been replaced with rendered sprites, but they maintain the cartoon-like quality of the original. Despite all the pictures we have seen so far, Nintendo assures us that baby Mario is indeed in this game, so we can look forward to his frantic crying once again. Surprisingly, a Nintendo game that lacks some ingenuity and longevity.
But it's amazing to play and beautiful to look at. Cutesy 2-D platformer which looks fantastic but plays very, very simply. You might like hunting for all the little secrets. We don't. What can I say about this game that hasn't already been said?
Regular readers will know that Andy did a ten page review of the original import version of Yoshi's Story, and being the efficient editor-type that he is, he more or less covered everything of note in the game. Rumour had it that the UK version of Yoshi's Story was going to be made more difficult through the inclusion of 'letter blocks' hidden in devious locations which would, once collected, provide a top new ending. Sadly, these haven't materialised. A few things have been changed in the game, although the changes are primarily aesthetic - graphical tweaks and the like.
We'll deal with those in more detail a little later. Before that though, let's run over the game for those aliens among you who've only just arrived on Planet Earth and are thus unaware of Yoshi's Story and the cute little dinosaur who gives the game its name. Now, after much waiting, lots of hype, and two cameo roles in Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 , Yoshi finally gets his own game on the N64, Yoshi's Story.
Basically, the story is simple Apparently the Yoshis for there is more than one were all living quite happily on Yoshi's Island, when someone came along and stole their Super Happy Tree, which weakened them and made them all somewhat upset The thieving thief turned out to be none other than Baby Bowser, avidly following in the footsteps of his felonious father. By a strange coincidence, the only creatures on Yoshi's Island not adversely affected by the theft of the Super Happy Tree were six little Baby Yoshis, who set out to defeat the evil Baby Bowser by means of eating a lot of fruit.
Not exactly the usual method for defeating evil dictators, but who can argue with something as cute as a Baby Yoshi? Oh, and did I mention that the whole island has been mysteriously transformed into a picture book? Well, it has, and the Baby Yoshis have to make their way across the six pages of the book, filled with all manner of cutesy enemies, before they can confront Baby Bowser and set everything to rights on Yoshi's Island Yoshi's Story comprises a total of twenty-four levels, contained within the six pages of the picture book.
At the start of the game, players can choose one of four starting levels, each with its own unique challenges and dangers. Later pages in the book start with only one level accessible, and the other three levels there are four on each page can only be accessed by obtaining three 'Special Hearts'.
Find one Special Heart page one and you'll have access to two levels on page two, find two and you to full while other fruits only boost him by one 'petal'. In addition, every Yoshi has a favourite fruit, which gives him more energy when he eats it than the ordinary fruit. The favourite fruit teds to correspond to the colour of the Baby Yoshi,so that Red Yoshi likes red apples. In addition to the standard fruit there are melons. These are often hidden, and Baby Yoshi may need to hunt carefully to find them.
It's worth it though, since every Yoshi likes melons, and they're worth more energy than the other fruit. Eat six of the same fruit in a row, and Baby Yoshi will get the chance to eat a 'Heart Fruit'.
The Heart Fruit oosts Yoshi's energy to full and also makes him super happy for a short time. This grants him extra special powers, one of which is temporary invulnerability.
Throughout the game, Baby Yoshi will encounter a variety of enemies, but the most common foe he'll meet will be the Shy Guy. This little chap wears a cloak, has huge eyes, and crops up in a variety of guises, doing a range of activities from carrying fruit to throwing snowballs.
The Shy Guys come in different colours, and can be defeated either with an egg which Yoshi obtains by head-butting coloured egg-blocks, or by capturing them with Yoshi's versatile tongue.
The eggs are also useful for destroying blocks which bar passageways, and for bursting floating bubbles which appear holding fruit or various bonuses. As well as the eggs and his tongue, Baby Yoshi has another weapon in his arsenal - his bottom. Most enemies can be bounced upon once to send them back to Baby Bowser's castle no-one dies - this is a Nintendo game after all but other enemies require the implementation of the more powerful 'ground pound' move.
As mentioned previously, all Baby Yoshis like melons, which, whilst available along with the other fruit on the stage, is more often than not cunningly concealed. This is where Yoshi's nose comes in. The gameplay in Yoshi's Island is different from those in other platform adventures in that each level doesn't have a specific end goal. Instead, Baby Yoshi exits the level by collecting thirty pieces of fruit.
The levels vary considerably in terms of their environment. Some are straight linear platformers while some are more maze-like. Others require you to run on rotating logs, or ride platforms with helicopter blades, or even to swim. At various points on each stage, Baby Yoshi may come across a sub-game. This game is usually in the form of a race - sometimes a straightforward running one, sometimes one where you must negotiate several obstacles whilst balancing a pile of blocks.
These sub-games will give you up to seven melons, and they are essential if you're trying to finish the level by collecting only melons. Essentially, the problem with Yoshi's Story is the way that the levels are strung together. Because each page holds four levels, of which you need to complete only one, the game can be completed extremely quickly, and this does tend to reduce the game's long-term playability.
To finish the whole game, which involves going through it at least four times to access all the levels, would take a little longer, but is still not incredibly difficult. For younger children though, the difficulty level is perfect. Yoshi's Story should keep them occupied for ages, and even if they manage to finish the game, the variety in the different stages and the various secrets hidden around them will give them something to go back to.
For the older players, the UK version has had an extra ending added, one that can only be viewed if you complete all six pages by collecting only melons. Since it gets progressively more difficult, particularly on later levels to even find all the melons, much less collect them, this addition should extend the life of the game considerably.
Bloody good job too! As mentioned already, there are other small changes to the UK version, besides the obvious English text translations. There's the addition of chillis, for example, a nasty-tasting fruit are chillis fruit?
Then there's the colour of the egg-blocks, which previously were all green but now correspond to the colour of whatever Yoshi is playing. On the subject of the text, Andy was worried when he first played the Japanese version that the blocks of text which appear every so often would be instructions on how to complete each test, thereby making the game even easier.
It's not quite so bad, for although the text does help you to complete various tasks, the information usually comes in the form of riddles. Although graphically the game looks better, the Yoshis in the N64 game aren't half as versatile as the ones on the SNES, and the variety of puzzles isn't as good. This probably won't matter so much for N64 owners new to the Nintendo who haven't played Yoshi's Island, but it's come as a disappointment to many ex-SNES owners who were waiting patiently for Yoshi's return.
The graphics, however, are where the game's universal appeal ends; Yoshi's Story is clearly geared toward young gamers. You explore giant cleverly designed levels filled with coins, secrets, enemies, and bosses. Story's play mechanics are also familiar: Yoshi can grab items with his tongue, turn them into throwable eggs, and pound things into the ground. Yoshi's Story will please younger gamers; for others it's an endurance test.
The music is right out of Romper Room, and the various yelps are so overly cute that older gamers will scramble for the mute button. Additionally, the game is simple to finish in one sitting, and the bosses are easy to defeat. Everyone, though, will find the controls frustrating; the analog stick is so sensitive you'll easily send Yoshi to his unintentional demise. Overall, Yoshi's cute qualities and exploration will keep kids playing happily for hours. Older gamers, however, will want to think twice before cracking the binding on this Story.
