The best 2D platformer ever made. Genuinely think this game is pretty much perfect. Some levels kind of suck (looking at you 6-5 and 6-7), and checkpoint placement could be better, but ultimately this is Nintendo level design at its peak.

Still irritates me that the Yoshi series got shafted so hard and has wallowed in mediocrity, barring Woolly World which I actually think is pretty damn great and the closest any Yoshi game got to this.
