Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is the prequel to every game in the Mario series. It stars Yoshi and Baby Mario as the main protagonists. The main antagonist is Kamek, the evil Magikoopa while the primary antagonist is actually Baby Bowser.
Long time ago, a stork was carrying twins to their parents. Suddenly a creature appeared and attacked the stork. The creature managed to kidnap the babies. The creature only kidnapped one of the babies. The other baby fell into an island.
Meanwhile in Yoshi's Island, a Yoshi is walking when something lands on his back, a baby named Mario. A map also falls with Mario. Yoshi cannot read the map. He carries the baby to the other Yoshis so they can chat about the baby.
Kamek the Magikoopa finds out that he has only kidnapped one of the twins. He then sends Toadies to find the other baby quickly.
Yoshi, unaware of Kamek's powers, continues walking past the Toadies while carrying Mario and the map.
Later, all the Yoshis decide to help Mario find the stork and Luigi and Yoshi decides to take the baby first as they pass along each other.
Gameplay[]
Yoshi before attacking an enemy with an egg.
Each level has a different Yoshi (Level 1: Green, Level 2: Pink, Level 3: Light Blue, Level 4: Yellow, Level 5: Purple, Level 6: Tan, Level 7: Red, Level 8: Dark Blue). The only exception to this is when the player plays World 6-8, instead of riding a Dark Blue Yoshi, the player rides the regular Yoshi (a green one). The players must use eggs to defeat enemies or swallow them to make eggs. If the player is hurt, Baby Mario will be trapped in a bubble. When Mario is trapped in the bubble, Yoshi must catch the bubble before time runs out. If the player does not catch the bubble in time, the player will lose a life. The timer starts at 10 and can increased by reaching the middle ring or collecting starman. One starman is one point for the level. The player can collect 30 points for having the maximum number of starman which is 30. The second set of points is by earning red coins. Red coins are combined with regular coins. There are 20 red coins in each level. One red coin is worth 1 point for the level. The other set of points is by flowers. Flowers are mostly hidden everywhere. There are 5 flowers in each level. Each flower is worth 10 points. Also at the Ending Ring, how many flowers you get is how many flowers will appear at the ring. If the player hits a flower, then a player gets to play a minigame (with the exception of level 4 and level 8). If the player earns 100 points, the player earns a 1-Up. If the player gets 800 Points total on a world, the player unlocks the world's extra level. In the GBA version, if the player gets 400 Points total on a world, the player unlocks the world's secret level.
