Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Grand Adventure Game

"Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island" (often called Yoshi’s Grand Adventure by fans) isn’t just another SNES classic—it’s a whimsical, pastel-colored masterpiece that flipped the Mario formula on its head. Instead of controlling the mustachioed plumber, you guide Yoshi on a mission to reunite Baby Mario with his brother, Luigi, across a vibrant world bursting with creativity. The game’s crayon-drawn art style, egg-throwing mechanics, and transforming levels (ever turned into a helicopter or a mole?) make every stage feel like a playful surprise.

What sets Yoshi’s Island apart is its sheer charm—from the mischievous enemy designs to the panic-inducing timer when Baby Mario gets knocked off Yoshi’s back (that crying still haunts us). It’s a platformer that balances challenge with pure joy, and decades later, its inventive gameplay and nostalgic soundtrack still hold up. If you missed this gem in the ‘90s, it’s time to correct that—because no Mario spin-off has ever been this delightfully weird."
