While not a superior experience on all fronts, Yoshi’s Island DS does equal or improve upon the original in many ways. Thankfully, however, Nintendo worked closely with Artoon this time around, and if the Artoon logo didn’t pop up when starting the game, you likely wouldn’t have questioned the game being developed by Nintendo itself. After disappointing “sequels" such as Yoshi’s Story and Yoshi Topsy-Turvy, fans were excited to hear about “Yoshi’s Island 2" and then disappointed to hear that one of its flagship games wasn’t developed by Nintendo.

It's a happy upbeat tune, with the light bongo drums, maracas and cowbell in the background. The music and the stage itself gets wonky after you touch a fuzzy, and your controls get all messed up, as if Yoshi was drunk.īut the song itself is pretty catchy.
If you know Yoshi's Island, you'll know that this is the stage where, well, Yoshi essentially gets high.
