Video Game Reviews of Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Customer Review: STILL a classic game by today's standards!
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though I like the more "modern" Nintendo games (for the DS in particular), Yoshi's Island stands out in the crowd as one game that you can play and enjoy. The colorful graphics and catchy music will have you playing "just one more" game before powering down for the evening. I had the opportunity to pick this game up again, and I am now glad that I did. It has all the pastel colors that lured me to it in the first place, and very responsive controls as well. Here's a breakdown below:
Graphics: 10/10
Control: 10/10
Music: 10/10
Sound Effects: 10/10
General Score: 10/10
I could find no real faults for this game, as it can be picked up by anyone and played. The bonus Mario Bros. game is a welcome addition to those that have played this before, and might attract new gamers as well. It's reasonably priced, and could round out your DS library nicely. Enjoy an old classic today.
Description of Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario 3 puts you in control of Yoshi for his wildest new adventure! You can even connect with three friends in a multi-player game of Mario Bros.Oh no! It looks like your granddad was right--things really were better in the old days. At least they were if you liked 2-D platform games, and Yoshi's Island is indisputably one of the best ever made.
Yoshi's Island goes back in time to recount the touching story of the various Yoshis' attempts to unite Baby Mario with his parents. You don't actually control the Italian plumber-to-be but instead his dinosaur pal, who has the curious ability to eat his enemies and then immediately turn them into eggs, which he can then fling at more enemies.
Since Yoshi isn't particularly fast and can float in midair for a few seconds after making a jump, the whole dynamics of the normal Mario gameplay have changed, but the same incredible attention to detail and endless imagination that mark all of Nintendo's best efforts are still here in full effect. In fact they're joined this time, after the rather plain-looking prequel, by some wonderful pastel-shaded graphics that were jaw-dropping when the game was originally released in 1995 and still manage to impress now.
As with the other Super Mario Advance titles, this game also contains a four-player version of the original Mario Bros. arcade game, making it even more of a bargain than it already was. --David Jenkins, Amazon.co.uk
