It's a simple review - if you loved the original, or you are looking for a fun, mario related escape for the 3DS. Pick this up! The only downfall is it is kind of a short game, but the replay value is high because of the graphics and fun imagery you might miss the first go round!
The main gameplay is just like the original game, more or less. Yoshi carries Baby Mario on his back through levels to reach the goal, going through 8 levels each of 6 worlds. While it's pretty easy to just rush through the levels, that's not what Yoshi's Island is about. In each level, there are 20 Red Coins and 5 Flowers hidden throughout, along with stars that contribute to a sort of "health" timer that ticks down if Yoshi takes damage and Baby Mario is knocked off of Yoshi's back. If this timer reaches zero, you lose a life. To perfect a level, you must finish with 30 stars, 20 Red Coins, and 5 Flowers. Unlike previous games, you don't have to get all three items in one run. If you got, for example, all the flowers on a previous run, you only have to worry about Red Coins and Stars. Another change to this formula is that if you lose a life and respawn at a checkpoint, you no longer keep stars that were had up to that checkpoint; it resets to 10. This can make finishing certain levels with all the stars, especially boss levels, very challenging. All this ties into the spirit of the Yoshi's Island series: exploration. That is, embracing the challenge of completing every level perfectly by finding all its secrets. Perfect all levels in a world, and you will unlock a very challenging special level. But, being said about exploration, there's one thing about this game that just doesn't execute this spirit of the franchise like previous games did. Previous games had wide-open levels with several alternate paths that greatly encouraged this exploration. Yoshi's New Island, on the other hand, has mostly tight and linear levels with max one alternate path for the most part. The sense of exploration is still there, but nowhere near how it was before. Levels gradually open up somewhat as you get to the later levels, but never reach the point of openness they were previously. As a die-hard Yoshi's Island fan, this was highly disappointing for me. Transformations also return, but in a different way. Through special doors, you enter also-linear areas where you use the transformation vehicle to navigate a path. These are gyro-controlled, and some control better than others. I would have liked these to be traditionally controlled, as some are frustrating, and for their areas to be more open.
The music is definitely this game's weakest point. The vast majority of areas just use a remix of the game's main theme. Though I do like the main theme, some of the mixes are just awful. I do enjoy a few of them, but most of them are outright painful to listen to. The only times you won't be listening to a remix of the main theme is if you're in a castle. This makes the game's music repetitive throughout, and is quite simply a lazy way to go. The fact that the original game had such great music makes this all the more disappointing. Seeing as this game is kind of the Yoshi's Island take on what was done with The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, I don't see why they couldn't have gone the route of what was done with the aforementioned game's soundtrack; that is, using mostly remixes/remastered versions of the original game's music. I would have been perfectly happy with that. Instead, they left this game with a soundtrack that is mediocre at best.
The game's boss battles are mostly pretty good, though they take a while to show that, and none are as great as the original. First off, each world's mid-boss at the 4th level is Kamek. Though this may sound off-putting at first, each battle is pretty unique, as Kamek manipulates the environment in different ways, and you attack him in different ways. Even if they're mostly easy, they're still pretty fun. The main world bosses get gradually better as you progress. The first one is pretty boring, but the ones thereafter aren't bad. I won't spoil specific details of what they are, but they're fairly enjoyable, and one in particular can take a while to beat, so it's fairly challenging. The game's final boss, on the other hand... I won't spoil it, but while it's not awful, it's not great, and could have been done a lot better. Overall, the bosses are good, but not universally great.
Overall, Yoshi's New Island provides a decent take on the Yoshi's Island formula. Comparatively it's the worst of the three games in the series, but I still don't see it as such a bad game. Fair level design and a mediocre soundtrack, it still implements the formula of the Yoshi's Island games alright, and still is a decent game overall, though disappointing in ways.
I played the original Yoshi's Island for SNES when I was a kid. This new one is a really good follow-up to that. It stays consistent in the design, but it also introduces a lot of newer, interesting gameplay dynamics to keep you entertained. Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I'm not really a huge fan of the tilt-the-DS-to-play parts that make use of the 3DS gyroscope... that just kind of annoys me when I'm playing the game laying down because I have to sit up to use that.
In the original Yoshi's Island game, you had to get the 30 stars, 20 red coins, and 5 flowers all in one run to get a perfect score on the level. If you were the kind of perfectionist going for that, it was kind of frustrating and time-consuming. With this new game, it keeps track of which you've already achieved so you can just replay a level and get each thing separately if you want (30 stars in one run, 20 red coins in a second).
The game may be a bit too forgiving though. If you are struggling with a level (have died maybe 3 times in a row), it'll give you a pair of wings that let you float as you wish and make you immune to enemies. It felt like playing with a Game Genie or something.
