Is it weird that I consider this to be the best 2D platformer in the extended Mario series?
While it lacks the momentum and straightforwardness of the classic mario formula, at the time it was able to implement such unique mechanics and gameplay formulas, that it is able to stand out among the greatest nintendo games even to this day.
Yoshi is one of the most unique 2D platforming heroes: the ability to flutter, swallow enemies, turning enemies into its personal projectiles, and the unique lack of an health bar in favor of "DA BABY" have been able to give the dinosaur an identity so strong that to this day he is treated as its own bubble in the nintendo universe, instead of being relegated to "Mario's dog".
Not to mention the incredible artstyle, the personality steaming from the levels and world you explore, and the incredibly thrilling challenges the game offers makes for a timeless classic, that every fan of videogames MUST check out at least once in their lives.
We stan Yosho in this house. Yosho is epic.
