Jun 13, 2013  The very first screen sports an unlocked door, so it embarrasses me to say that I had to be told it was there. I’m apparently not alone, since I’ve spoken to a lot of gamers who were surprised to learn there’s a single SMB3-style Chain Chomp in Yoshi’s Island. Yes, tucked away in a lonely room of the fort is a small Chain Chomp.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES)

While each world so far has had a consistent theme, the fifth world takes things up a notch. For one, it actually transitions from the previous world’s castle. The final stretch and the Hookbill battle was high in the air, with mountains looming nearby. Now it’s time to scale them.

Even as a kid, Blizzard immediately drew comparisons to the first snowy mountain world of DKC, which also blurs the player’s visibility with a massive snowfall. While we don’t get the brilliantly timed, harrowing music from DKC, there are some neat tricks to help immerse us. But we can’t worry about that yet, because Thunder Lakitu’s out for blood!

This guy shoots projectiles at you that erupt into pillars of flame when they hit the ground. Not only is it a lot more threatening than this game’s average Lakitu, it’s also an interesting callback on a couple levels. The “projectile that spreads flames” comes directly from Super Mario World’s Sumo Bros. It’s also a reference to Raijin, the Japanese god of thunder, who is often depicting as sitting among clouds and playing drums to create thunder. Thunder Lakitu carries a drum set with him (though I mistook them for hair curlers as a kid). In any event, Thunder Lakitu will keep you on your toes for the stage’s opening screens.

Then we meet another new enemy, Spike. I’m kind of baffled by this guy. Spike first appeared in SMB3, little guys with the seemingly unhealthy habit of hacking up spike balls and throwing them at you. They’ve made a modest amount of appearances since then: Yoshi’s Story, the Paper Mario series, the New SMB games. But here he seems to blow up the spike ball like a balloon before he throws it, which is admittedly pretty funny and a nice use of the game’s scaling abilities. But there are only a couple of them, they’re not in dangerous territory or mixed with other threats, and his one slow attack is very easy to avoid. The game has many enemies that only show up a couple times, but Spike is extremely low-key about it.

Anyway, we start climbing the mountain, and in a twist, Chomp Rocks are used against us! They come falling and rolling at us at different speeds as we jump over gaps. It’s nothing too alarming, but it’s interesting to see something that’s been strictly a tool/weapon become a hindrance.

Meet Bumpty, the star of World Five. Like the monkeys, Bumpties don’t seem especially determined to kill you, and they’re rather tough to defeat themselves. They’re blue penguins that are seemingly made of rubber, since running into them doesn’t do damage, but sends you bouncing away. This also applies to attempts to jump on them, and they cannot be swallowed. Like the monkeys, these guys inject a huge dose of personality into the game. They actually seem rather playful, diving on their bellies or spinning across ice at Yoshi just because they’re full of energy and that’s what they do. Heck, they can even fly (though not very fast). In this first meeting with them, all they can really do is slow down our progress, and players are free to gush over how cute they are…for now!

The next segment is in a cave, and it’s appropriately icy, with frozen Shy Guys visible through the ice. As a brief aside, while the GBA’s sound isn’t quite as good as the original’s, it deserves some props here. In the original, walking on ice makes this really annoying squeaking sound (the same that Mousers make, but constant), while the GBA thankfully opts for silence.

This cave lets us go nuts with ice melons, giving us a steady supply. The Bumpties also show a little more deadly potential, since there are long stretches with icy floors, bottomless pits, and icicles forcing us to stay low. With Bumpties cruising around, it can be easy to get bumped into a pit or reflexively jump into an icicle.

Again, the game shows that it breaks the “nice and neat rows and lines” of typical Mario games. The icicles dangle at several different lengths. Some of them will break off on their own, and the others can be knocked down with eggs.

When we emerge from the cave, we find a couple feet of snow on the ground. I love this transition. Going from grassy terrain to a snow-covered landscape onscreen is probably a bit much to ask for this kind of game, so the cave detour allows our imagination time to fill in exactly how long it took from “Yoshi’s perspective.”

Anyway, the snowy mountainside changes things up a lot. Obviously, the aesthetics are different (including the background mountains, which we’ve seen before, but are now coated with white snow rather than colorful flowers). We trudge through the fallen snow, and trees will shed snow when we touch them or fling eggs at them. The snow-laden branches also conceal weaponry, and trees can contain watermelons and egg blocks. It may make little sense, but it’s a clever play on our curiosity and the game’s visuals (“hey, the snow falls down and makes a funny noise when I hit trees. Hey, there’s something in this tree. Huh, maybe there’s more stuff hidden from sight.”).

This final stretch is similar to the final stretch of 2-5. You have a few high walls in your path, a handful of Fly Guys, Lakitu harassing you, things in the air for you to ride their clouds up to, and a generally chaotic atmosphere. This is quite a bit more palatable, though. The Fly Guys give you more generous opportunities, there isn’t a spiteful ambush in the final screen, and the scenery is much cooler.

The final red coins are especially interesting; they’re placed in narrow pits, with Bumpties flying among them. There are block outlines in the pits, so you know a ! switch is near. You can use a Lakitu cloud to reach one, although getting the high ground to unseat one can be tough.

What a stage! We get a smooth transition from the previous world, then the stage itself is dynamic as we climb the mountain/spend more time in a blizzard. Thunder Lakitu is a very memorable foe, and more threatening than the vanilla variety. Bumpties are extremely creative foes, and we’ve only seen the start of them. Chomp Rocks betray us, the cave section stands out from all previous caves with the addition of icy floors and uneven icicles above (which combine nicely with Bumpties, and the final section thoroughly rewards us for examining the scenery and screen boundaries.

Ride the Ski Lifts picks up right where Blizzard left off, in snowy mountains with the occasional pine. This time, we immediately come across a large (conveniently Chomp Rock-sized) snowball. Shoving it across the snowy landscape will cause it to grow, allowing us to reach coins near the top of the screen and scale a wall to advance. I don’t think I need to tell you how nifty this is. It’s another clear example of interacting with your environment in a clear, sensible way, while simultaneously showing off a bit. The snowball has a very real-looking texture and attains full size convincingly. Unfortunately, it does max out at a certain size. With the previews for Yoshi’s New Island displaying absurdly giant eggs, it seems like a great opportunity to bring this mechanic back and go completely over the top with it.

A couple asides: If you follow the game’s internal logic to its conclusion, you’ll backtrack with the snowball, which is given a little reward. I only found this recently, and it’s always encouraging to be rewarded for experimenting. Also, while YI’s snowball is fairly unique in detail and execution, it was definitely part of a trend. Ristar experimented with snowball throwing later that year over on Genesis (although each one was a uniform size), and Mario 64 saw you guiding a growing snowball down a mountain. Banjo-Tooie and the Galaxy games both made use of their growing/shrinking properties and had you navigate them through hot/lava areas, while Kirby 64’s was uniform size and echoed the “steamroller” effect of YI’s (with the great touch of seeing enemies stuck in the snow).

Anyway, the next segment seems to expand on the finale of 5-1. We’re introduced to ski lifts, which take us over a wide horizontal gap. There are several platforms dotted throughout the gap (where the lifts are staked down), but Lakitus (vanilla this time) and flying Bumpties clog our path. Again, we can temporarily plug the gap with ! switches, but there are only two for several screens’ worth of real estate. There are several winged clouds containing stars and flowers, so you have to either be really fast, or dependent on the small ski lifts while being hassled by Lakitus and maneuvering past Bumpties. In a flip of expectations, at one point the ! blocks actually prevent you from collecting some red coins. Overall, this builds on the scrambling and speed of the end of 5-1, with moving platforms and bottomless pits.

Next we come to a few gentle slopes, and we meet another new “enemy”, Dr. Freezegood. Really, the most dangerous thing about this guy is his horribly punny name. He’s a very cheerful-looking snowman who takes to the slopes. While he’s not animated, he manages to evoke a carefree nature. Some specimens are content to simply chill and watch you, others go flying down the slopes at different speeds (and sometimes backward). Like the Bumpties, they can’t hurt you, but if pits are nearby, there is a danger they can push you in. Stomping on them will immediately reduce them to a puff of snow. That always made me feel guilty as a kid, and I still tend to avoid it out of habit. They’re just cheerfully enjoying life!

There’s a sneaky bonus room that can be found by investigating the top of the screen at the peak of one slope. As with 1-7 and 3-2, this is very easy to miss, but fortunately, ordinary coins are the only reward, and quite a bit of them.

Our finale sees the terrain give way to massive slopes and chasms, with the ski lifts now traversing terrain at different trajectories. Freezegoods will ride lifts, drop off them spontaneously, and take off down slopes with abandon. There are also Bumpties both in the air and waiting to knock you off ledges (sometimes they’ll slide right into Freezegoods and take them out. I always love seeing enemies interact with each other, and when it’s completely of their own accord, it’s even more interesting). There’s lots of open air in this section, so you have ample opportunity to pull off crazy jumps, even when it’s not always necessary.

Like the jungle, this feels much more like an ecosystem than a platforming obstacle course. I love how the snowmen and penguins just do what they do, and aren’t necessarily out to get you. Building off the previous stage (in both aesthetics and gameplay) is also appreciated. Even if this stage isn’t necessarily very hard, the massive slopes and big open spaces lend it a large “scope”, as if it’s building up to something…

I love how forthcoming this stage is. First, we have the title: Danger: Icy Conditions Ahead. Then right off the bat we get a message block proclaiming “This is an icy stage.” Strangely (or not so strangely, given many previous stage titles), the most memorable segment has very little to do with ice. Of course, there’s still plenty of it in other segments. We’re also given a few fire melons to help us melt ice cubes.

We start off over a pond (I love the icy texture to the water). We get a chance to bank an egg into a tulip, but have a Spray Fish fouling our aim. There’s a bucket boat we can use to reach red coins, there’s a series of small platforms inhabited by Piranhas (using fire breath here is a good choice), and then comes the platform-go-round. We take it over a bottomless pit, with a ceiling made up of ice cubes. The cubes hold several Bumpties, who can eventually drop through the narrow gaps if you wait around for them, threatening to knock you into the pit. You’ll likely never see them escape if you keep moving at a steady pace, so it’s mostly encouragement to move on, but it’s certainly creative about it. In the meantime, we have to use fire to blast some cubes out of our way, but don’t use it all up, because a couple red coins are trapped by a cube at the end of the gauntlet. THEN we get some jumps over icy pillars that seem pedestrian, but with a couple Bumpties in the mix, death is just a misstep away.

This first segment has been incredibly dynamic so far, with a great mix of enemies, jumps, changing terrain, and ammo conservation. It’s beautifully capped off with a long stretch of icy ground and a low-hanging ceiling full of thorns. There are a few Bumpties complicating things. We have a few options for dealing with this. We can simply destroy the thorns. We can take out the lower layer only (it’s safe to walk beneath the upper layer). We can lure a Bumpty into pushing us across the ice and crouching beneath the thorns. We can systemically remove the Bumpties and proceed carefully. It’s a simple obstacle, but there are so many ways to approach it.

Now we can use fire to obtain a Super Star, and we need to move pretty briskly in order to reach all the red coins in the second segment. Doing so also leads to an extra room, which is just a snowy field with tons of ordinary coins, Bumpties, and a helicopter transformation. This is entirely optional, just a nice little reward for going the distance with Powerful Mario (which is easier said than done in this stage). But just between you and me, you may want to take the opportunity to get a handle on maneuvering through flying Bumpties with the chopper. We can talk about why later. Oh, and enjoy the cool background and the little harmless birds fluttering around the area.

After that nice little breather, we get a ski lift/Freezegood/Bumpty reprise. And now it pays off. We eventually climb to a hut, a lot like Bandit’s, but unlocked. Step inside, and we immediately exit…with ski gear! Baby Mario even has an adorable stocking cap!

In discussions about game design, this sort of “rail platforming” sequence is usually put under extra scrutiny. It’s understandable: changing up a game’s rules, reducing a player’s reaction time and room for error, and limiting gameplay options can very easily (and often do) translate into a poor experience. There are plenty of examples that get it right, but it definitely takes thoughtful design to do so. Does skiing succeed?

Let’s talk about how it works first. We’re constantly moving forward, and all we can do is jump. This makes sense: Yoshi’s hands are full, the skis would get in the way of fluttering or flipping, and the only enemies are out of reach of the tongue. If we hit a rock, Yoshi tumbles, rolling up into a snowball and briefly preventing you from jumping. It doesn’t knock away Baby Mario or necessarily lead to death (and is also nicely animated). It will ruin you more often than not, though, so basically our mission is to avoid bottomless pits and rocks, and also snagging flowers and red coins.

Really, once you get a feel for the skiing, survival isn’t all that intimidating. There are a few upward drifts that curb your speed, and you can see rocks and pits well ahead of time. The only trick is the placement of a few collectibles, which you can jump over before you even realize they’re there. But there’s a trick: Whenever you see an arrow sign, jump as you pass it. This should guarantee both survival and collection of all the essentials in this segment. Of course, I’m not sure if that was intentional, and it took me a long time to realize how perfectly it worked, so most players are likely to suffer through some trial and error before getting 100 percent. But survival’s perfectly fair and there are guidelines to collecting all the items, even if they’re not explicit, so I consider skiing a success overall, even if it’s not perfect.

What’s also nice is that you get all the collectibles by the end of the first (of three) skiing segments. Once you hear the respective jingles for 20 coins/5 flowers, you know you can simply enjoy the ride the rest of the way. The second segment is just a gigantic jump that’s pretty much for show and atmosphere (you jump past a flock of Goonies). You have to actively try to screw it up. The third has Baron von Zeppelins, as well as a preview of an enemy that we won’t really interact with until a bit later: Skeleton Goonies. They both drop bombs on us, which are inconsequential at the speed we’re traveling, but they can prove distracting from the terrain obstacles. After this, we hit the Goal Ring!

Yoshi's Island Online

I’d say this stage is in contention to be the game’s “signature” level. I’ve already written about the sheer variety of the first segment. We also get the toughest Powerful Mario gauntlet so far, a relaxing chopper transformation, some ski lifts, and one of the game’s most memorable moments for the climax. Not to mention how it pays off what was set up in the previous stage, and meshes with what we’ll encounter in subsequent stages. Platforming simply doesn’t get much better than this, folks.

We get some shelter from the cold in the mountain-perched Sluggy the Unshaven’s Fort. The very first screen sports an unlocked door, so it embarrasses me to say that I had to be told it was there. I’m apparently not alone, since I’ve spoken to a lot of gamers who were surprised to learn there’s a single SMB3-style Chain Chomp in Yoshi’s Island. Yes, tucked away in a lonely room of the fort is a small Chain Chomp. There’s no freeing him from his post, unfortunately (but you can admire him lunging into the camera and showing off more scaling effects). It only takes a few seconds to determine that ordinary attacks do nothing to this guy, and the game gets clever here (you know, along with a ton of other instances). Aside from this, the POW Block (and Winged Cloud, I guess) have been mere luxury items. Enemies aren’t all that nasty, and the ones that are tend to be immune to those items anyway (Nep-Enuts, Chomps). But nothing else works, so gamers who remember they have these in their arsenal can gain access to a secret code. Entering it on the world map screen allows us to play any of the Bandit mini-games! This is the only place where Yoshi’s Island supports 2-player mode, at least on the SNES version. For some reason, you can only play Throwing Balloons and Watermelon Seed Spitting with a second player, though. Perhaps they thought Yoshi would have an unfair advantage, which is completely true for coin collecting, but not really for balloon popping. And his vertical attacking and ability to snag melons with his tongue give him an advantage in seed spitting, so there goes that theory. Oh well, it’s a fun little extra and if you’re really desperate for items, this can be more reliable than most of the bonus games.

So, how about that fortress? We immediately meet a new obnoxious ghost enemy. This one swings back and forth from the ceiling, attempting to reach out and snare Baby Mario if you get close. Projectiles will stun him briefly. From his transparent body to his various expression’s he’s cool just to watch, and makes for a unique obstacle.

A lot of this castle is very open, and we have to make sure to clear the corners if we want 100 percent. Early on, there’s a niche to the upper left that has us navigating through some very tight thorn formations. It’s one of the biggest instant-death threats we’ve seen so far.

Back on the path forward, we meet an “enemy” that’s just fun to play with. It’s a cream-colored blob that simply oozes along the ground. It’ll hurt us if we stupidly walk into it, but otherwise it means Yoshi no harm. We can lap it up and spit it as a round ball, or jump on it and watch it splatter against the back wall (in many different arrangements…the pains they went to here are amazing), then see the segments ooze down to the floor and reform.

We have more dangling ghosts to rush past, occasionally combined with a sluglike creature named Sluggy that drops from the ceiling when you get close. They’re really not much to worry about. There’s a wonderful moment when you can spit one up between two of those blob creatures and it will perpetually bounce back and forth on them. Absolutely pointless, but entertaining.

There are a lot of little concepts that get trotted out in this stage. After going along a rail platform, we come across a “hypnodial”. It’s just a round, swirly platform attached to a rail, and you get it moving by weighing down one end (like Chomp Rocks). Of course, staying on it and not falling into the thorns below can be tough, but it’s neat to see it operate like it logically should (greatly increasing speed when it hits a descent).

We get some more big jumping tests, where we have to make extended leaps under dangling ghosts, but can’t drop too low. It takes repeated flutters to cross, and we have Fangs to worry about as well (they can also be helpful).

Speaking of helpful, meet Muddy Buddy! He’s a little purple blob of…purple mud? He and Yoshi are mutually harmless, and jumping on him gets Yoshi’s feet stuck. You can then move by jumping with Muddy Buddy, and he can safely cross spikes that are lethal to Yoshi. Once you detach from him, he shows affection by sprinting back to Yoshi. It’s a little sad to part ways…

Just as a note, the path splits just prior to meeting Muddy Buddy, and you’ll only meet him if you take the drop to the left. Dropping to the right will still let you get 100 percent, but then you’d leave Muddy Buddy waiting all alone. You wouldn’t want to do that, would you?!

Oh hey, a seesaw! Haven’t seen one of these since World One. It’s over a bottomless pit, and thorns line the ceiling, so we have to mind our position. There are actually two parallel paths forward. The lower one isn’t immediately visible, but we can see the coins and flower it contains from the upper path and easily backtrack for it, so I’m calling that fair play. The lower path also holds another Jello cube (like we saw at the end of 4-5). We can flatten this one out too, but more importantly, shoving it against the wall makes it taller, which allows us to escape.

This stage is a frickin’ marathon. I know I tend to go in great detail in these entries, but here I’m skipping stuff and this is still running long. The home stretch is traversed with the aid of the Support Ghost (as seen in Brawl). Oddly, it looks completely different than the creature seen in Salvo’s Totally Out of Place Water Room. It actually resembles a Blarrg. Anyway, it’ll hum along, then open its eyes, pause, and lift itself up periodically. The ghost’s big, heavily browed eyes not only give it some expressiveness, but serve the gameplay function of alerting you when it’s going to rise (and more importantly, when it’s going to start moving again). There will be something to collect or avoid at every stop. This is a nice little “sample platter” of platforming. There’s nothing too nasty, but you have to be quick if you want all the collectibles, and one mistake can easily lead to death. This is a lengthy segment, and since you’re bound to the ghost’s pace, dying and having to retread ground can get very tiresome. It’s fascinating the first time through, and a nice little “exam,” but try to make sure it’s only one pass, for your own patience.

The final screen is just for fun: an all-out sprint under an increasingly lowering ceiling, full of Sluggies dropping down. As long as you hold right, it’s all for show. Finally, boss time!

Like with the Hookbill fight, this battle establishes our location: We get a nice view of the clouds, reminding us just how high in the mountains we are. The boss itself is (obviously) one of the Sluggy enemies. At full size, he has a cool transparent body, with some gross hairs and a visible heart (with even grosser hairs of its own). He’s harmless to the touch, but too tall to bypass, and he’s constantly inching forward, toward an abyss behind you. There’s an egg plant at the very edge of the floor, and the goal here is to strike at his heart. Egg shots leave indentations in his flesh, so we basically have to “dig” our way toward the heart to land a hit. The flesh will gradually return to its original shape, so we have to be quick with successive strikes. The eggs that don’t hit the heart directly will be bounced back out, but they can only be recycled a couple times, so don’t be afraid to make a dash back to the plant if you’re running low. Four direct hits to the heart will do him in.

While he’s not as iconic as some of the other bosses, Sluggy is very well done. He moves slowly and you have a lot of space, and there’s no way you can be hurt other than being pushed to your death, so getting killed or jeopardizing a 100 percent run is extremely rare even for rookies. But I feel difficulty isn’t necessary if the fight is at least interesting. Sluggy responds to your attacks in a way that feels intuitive, and no matter what trajectory you hit him at, it leaves an appropriate indent. Transparency alone was something to brag about at this point, but creating a malleable object like this (that the player can influence directly) is pretty cool.

This is the longest stage we’ve faced so far, and one of the toughest. There’s a recurring theme of avoiding danger from below and above simultaneously, forcing us to be more conscientious of our jumps and positioning. We also get several new enemies, a couple new allies, the return of a few gimmicks we only glimpsed at earlier, and a couple new ones.

Halfway through World Five, what can I say? From blizzards to ice caves to snowballs to ski lifts to creative enemies to ice-melting to skiing to secret codes to creative allies, all presented with coherent progression, the game has managed to top anything we’ve seen prior. Let’s see if they can keep it up.
