Which Yoshi's Island levels are the most annoying to get 100% or just complete?

• I played the original Yoshi's island on mey new DS i got on mey B-day, and it just put mein the mood to draw a fanart of the game. =3 I just drew Yoshi, Baby mario, a.
• Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is the in-name-only sequel (or is it a prequel?) to Super Mario World.This time, Yoshi is the star of the show, Mario is an annoying baby, and the development team was evidently into some very heavy drugs.
• Feb 14, 2010  We have a giant lake in front of us, filled with monkeys and fish. We gotta be cautious! 100 Points here is not much of a trial or concern. Just find those hidden areas and you got nothing to.
• This is a Yohsi's Island SNES rom hack which can be founded at SMWCentral.net I've decided to play this game because it was one of the newest hacks that came.

The Top Ten Hardest Yoshi's Island Levels

Aug 15, 1995  Yoshi's Island is not as good as the previous game (Super Mario World). This mainly because instead of playing as Mario you play as Yoshi. Graphics are pretty standard and game play is okay. The various levels are not that difficult, so the game shouldn't take long to beat. The game is worth playing, but I prefer Super Mario World. The Japanese packaging uses a vertical design, which is pretty normal for a Japanese Super NES game. As for the artwork, the Japanese version has more of a laid-back feel, while the U.S. Box features Yoshi and Baby Mario rushing towards a Nep-Enut. Grinders first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3.They usually show up in jungle stages and attack Yoshi in a variety of ways, including spitting seeds and grabbing Baby Mario; when hit, they turn a darker shade of brown and run away.Some Grinders drop bombs, and were named Short Fuses in the strategy guide.

1Kamek's Revenge

Is this the level after the bowser castle?

A variety of challenges to get 100. I recommend using a pow or similar power up at the helicopter section.

This level was pretty short but had one of the hardest skiing segments in Yoshi's Island history particularly that sudden change into the helicopter near the end. Never 100%ed it.

2A Light in the Dark

Again the skiing section is the icing on an unusually long and treacherous level.

3Superhard Acrobatics

It surely is super-hard particularly at the beginning with the pinwheel platform and the potted ghosts.

Yoshi's island codes. It's up to Yoshi (and, if you’re playing co-op note or you just want to play as him instead) to journey across made of cloth and yarn and retrieve the Wonder Wool.

4Rompin' Stompin' Chomps

Side scrolling levels are never easy on the difficulty but this one can be highly irritating due to all of the things landing on your head

5Poochy Ain't Stupid

The fact that this is an auto-scroller, you have to rely on Poochy for most of it, AND a single mess-up means you die, means this level was a complete nightmare to get 100% on. Honestly, this should be #1.

So impossible to beat

You Need to Ride on Poochy for the Entire Level, if you get off of him, you'll die in the lava, staying on poochy would be simple, if not you're going for 100% and the Fact Poochy Controls Awkward

6Quit it Already Tap-Tap!

An unnecessary Tap-Tap themed level. The rising wind section leaves absolutely no room for error just like the mine cart segment later.

8Items are Fun!

Items may be fun but trying to get 100% in this level isn't.

9KEEP MOVING!

Another long level that is hard to 100%. Though the biggest problem for me was always near the beginning with the rotating platforms.

The Contenders

11King Bowser's Castle (Door 3)

The Tap-Tap chase is the worst part of this level for me, no matter how many tries I just can't find all of the collectibles AND keep all my stars.

12Fight Toadies with Toadies

Surprisingly I've never had a problem with The Impossible Maze but this one has cost me many lives particularly the.. Auto-scrolling section.

13Frustration

Which level even is this? I don't recall any level ever called Frustration, unless this is a ROM hack.

All melons on this was rly hard

14All Aboard the Terrain Train

Of corse, I spent 4 flat legit hours trying to beat it and FINALLY I beat it! I did not collect everything at once, I first collected smiley flowers. Next red coins, took me 2 hours. And finally star man to 30 took me an hour and a half!
I’m relieved

Particularly, this level was hard for me, but it was just to get me prepped up for the WHITE HOT HARD SNOW GO MOUNTAIN LEVEL! It’s difficult to get a 100% on this level, but if your a hardcore gamer, someone who’s played hard games like Contra and Ghosts n’ Goblins, then this is your secret level!

15The Fort of Moltz the Very Goonie

This level has very tight platforming with the face statues while making very precise jumps between spikes. This is possibly the hardest level in the main game (not Secret or Extra).

16Snow Go Mountain

And I though the previous 4 secret levels were bad enough, Snow Go Mountain has you jumping on Bullet Bills and Goonies to get to the warp pipe leading to the area to leave the level! Did Panga make this level, as well as the other 5 secret levels? Hopefully the sixth secret level isn't as bad.

17Leapin' Lava Meltdown

Well, I was right, Leapin' Lava Meltdown was hard for me, but it didn't cost me 1 million lives like Snow Go Mountain did. But the part that angered me the most was the rising lava part of the second and final area. But still, if you're a daredevil, I'd recommend this to you if you're looking for a challenge.

18Watch Out for Lakitu

I've been playing the game for a while, and I can't beat this particular level. Ironically, Lakitu is barely something that you have to watch out for. Overall, this was a difficult level.

Box art

The Japanese packaging uses a vertical design, which is pretty normal for a Japanese Super NES game. As for the artwork, the Japanese version has more of a laid-back feel, while the U.S. box features Yoshi and Baby Mario rushing towards a Nep-Enut.

Japanese version	U.S. version

The main thing we wanted to point out here are the words 'Yossy Island' on the green banner under the Japanese title logo. 'Yossy' is another way to romanize 'Yoshi' that Nintendo's Japanese team uses sometimes. We'll see 'Yossy' come up again in World Extra 6..

Images from the official Super NES Classic American and Japanese sites.

Title screen

The English title suffers from squished-text syndrome, but it's no problem for Yoshi's trademark 'egg-for-an-O'.

Japanese version	U.S. version

File Menu screen

Probably due to limited space, the U.S. version names the files 'File #' instead of keeping 'Yoshi #' from the Japanese version.

Japanese version	U.S. version

Map screen

Below, we'll take a closer look at the last four map screen panels. For reference, here are the full World 1 map screens:

Japanese version	U.S. version

The 'Special' levels in the Japanese game are called 'Extra' levels in the U.S. version. A star was added to the panels as well.

In the Japanese version, the bonus panel shows the name of the bonus game contained inside, which changes for each world. The U.S. version shows a flower icon and simply changes the number for each world. Even though the flower takes up most of the space, the background color was changed from blue to green.

Button colors

Despite the updated controller icon on the map screen (see above), the button colors on the control options screen were not changed. The letters on the buttons were bolded, however.

Japanese version	U.S. version

The button graphics in the Throwing Balloons mini-game also use the Super Famicom's color scheme and were not changed in the U.S. version.

U.S. version

World 4-6 icon

The icon for World 4-6 was changed slightly. In the U.S. version, Flopsy Fish's fins come out of the water a little more. Also, a few blue pixels behind his fins were rearranged.

Japanese ver.	U.S. ver.

Popping Balloons icon

The Popping Balloons mini-game icon was also changed. Yoshi's arms were moved closer to his sides and the balloon behind him was flattened a little in the U.S. version.

(Note: The mini-game icons appear when you use the mini-game menu code.)

Japanese ver.	U.S. ver.

Sound advice

The first two message blocks in World 1-1 have illustrated help for making and throwing eggs. In both drawings, the Japanese version has onomatopoeia next to Yoshi.

In the 'Making eggs' tutorial, pon (meaning 'pop' or 'plop') is inside a word balloon.

Japanese version	U.S. version

Bun (meaning 'buzz' or 'zoom') is next to Yoshi's head in the 'Throwing eggs' tutorial.

Japanese version	U.S. version

Score screens

The U.S. version has bold text on the pause screen and end-of-level totals screen.

Japanese version	U.S. version

Even the sun icons on the totals screen were thickened up.

Japanese version	U.S. version

Lost a life

On the screen that asks if you want to retry the stage (or continue from the Middle Ring), the U.S. version has a slightly different Yoshi icon and a smaller arrow icon.

Japanese version	U.S. version

Zooming in on the Yoshi icons, we can see that the updated icon is a little smaller, but looks more like Yoshi.

Japan	U.S.

Popping Balloons mini-game

The Popping Balloons mini-game pits Yoshi against Bandit in a race to pop the randomly-chosen winning balloon. A few things were changed in the U.S. version.

Yoshi's Island Arcade Spot

When a non-winning balloon is popped in the Japanese version, 'Suka' (meaning 'miss') in blue katakana characters comes spinning out of the balloon. In the U.S. version, nothing appears for a miss.

Japanese version

When the winning balloon is popped, the Japanese version shows the kanji character '当' (meaning 'success') surrounded by a flashing circle of gold stars. This was changed to a group of stars that rapidly rearranges itself from a star shape to a circle and back again.

Japanese version	U.S. version

Thunder Lakitu

Thunder Lakitu is based on Raijin, the Japanese god of thunder. Raijin creates thunder by beating on his ring of drums, and is often depicted standing on a cloud.

World Extra 6

Shortly after the first Middle Ring, you'll find five platforms on rails, each one shaped like a letter to spell out 'YOSHI.' These originally spelled 'YOSSY' in the Japanese version ('Yossy' is another way to romanize 'Yoshi').

In this room, four spike clumps were removed from the bottom right, and three were added to the ceiling above the 'H,' leaving the U.S. version with one less spike clump than the Japanese version. However, the spikes above the 'H' make this part a little more difficult, since you have to keep ducking to avoid them while riding on the platform.

Japanese version

U.S. version

Notes:

• Yoshi travels from right to left through this room.
• We removed the moon-and-stars pattern from the background for the sake of simplicity.
• The maps show the approximate starting positions of the moving platforms based on the level data from the ROM. (See notes about the 'Y' and 'O' below.)
• Japanese version: On the second 'Y,' the platform drops onto to the slanted rail from mid-air, then goes to the left. Our map shows where it first lands on the rail.
• U.S. version: On the 'H,' the platform starts on the upper-right, then travels to the bottom-left. After that, it will only travel along the bottom half of the 'H.'
• Both versions: The platform on the 'O' actually appears to start out a few pixels above the rail.

More Message Block changes

The Message Blocks in the U.S. version feature new and redesigned icons mixed in with the text.

World 1-6

Entering the first door in World 1-6 takes you to a cloudy area with three different types of eggs and a Message Block. The English text has an added star icon after the word 'Stars.' Also, it's worth noting that the Japanese text tells you that the Flashing Egg creates a Red Coin; the English text keeps it a secret, even though the instruction manual reveals what it does.

Another message in 1-6 talks about the red Switches. The small switch icon was changed slightly, and the down-arrow icon from the third line in the Japanese text was removed in the U.S. version.

World 2-2

This message is talking about a nearby Arrow Cloud, which is represented by an icon in the English text.

World 5-1

The Winged Cloud icon was changed slightly in the U.S. version.

Controller buttons

The message with the 'Top Secret' code in World 5-4 has icons for Select, X, Y, B, and A.

The U.S. version has a different D-Pad icon, as we can see in World 1-2's first Message Block. An icon for the Down button also appears here.

Here's another one from World 1-2. Even though a 'Select' button icon appears in World 5-4's message, 'Start' is still just text here. This message also includes icons for Left and Right.

A message near the end of World 2-2 includes an Up button icon. This one also has an added star icon like the message in World 1-6.

L and R button icons appear in this message from World 2-8.

* = This enemy was not listed in the Enemy Index section of the U.S. player's guide.

The following enemies were not listed in the enemy section of the Japanese player's guide: Bouncing Bullet Bill, Bowling Goonie, Bubble Dayzee, Coin Bandit, Hopping Tap-Tap, Kamek's Toadies, Mock Up, Needlenose, Potted Spiked Fun Guy, Seedy Sally, Short Fuse, and Whirly Fly Guy.

Notes:

• Most of the bosses in the Japanese game have 'Big' added to the normal enemy name.
• 'Borodō,' Bandit's name, is a play on the word dorobō, which means 'thief.'
• Since 'Sanbo' is usually called 'Pokey' in English, the following enemies are technically Pokies: Blow Hard, Cactus Jack, and Spiked Fun Guy.
• Donburi (Burt) is also the name of a Japanese rice bowl dish.
• Wanwan (Chomp) is equivalent to 'bow-wow.'
• Yari, the Japanese word for 'spear,' is seen in the names of Yariho (Spear Guy) and Yariyari Dancer (Dancing Spear Guy).
• For the Flightless Goonies, the Japanese game uses 'Ahōmushi,' a portmanteau of albatross (ahōdori) and bug (mushi).
• Harry Hedgehog might have been named after the 'Hari' in 'Super Harimannen' (hari = 'needle'). In Super Mario Bros. 2, the 'Harimannen' enemy was 'Porcupo' in English.
• Dosun, part of Incoming Chomp's Japanese name, is onomatopoeia for a 'whomp' or 'thump' sound. On a related note, 'Dossun' is Thwomp's Japanese name.
• 'Pukupuku,' known as Flopsy Fish and Piscatory Pete in the U.S. version, is usually changed to 'Cheep Cheep' for English text.
• The chū in Little Mouser and Little Skull Mouser's Japanese names represents a squeak sound.
• Based on his Japanese name, Mace Penguin is actually a Spike, who was first seen in Super Mario Bros. 3.
• If stomping on Mildes reminds you of popping bubble wrap, there's a good reason: The Japanese name for Milde is 'Puchipuchi,' which means bubble wrap.
• Gerogero (Prince Froggy) is equivalent to 'ribbit ribbit.'
• Raven's Japanese name 'Kyū-chan' comes from kyūkanchō (hill myna), a species of myna bird. The Ravens' walking on spheres is a visual pun on kyū, which also means 'sphere' in Japanese.
• 'Kemekuji' (Sluggy) comes from the Japanese word for slug: Namekuji.
• Tap-Tap's Japanese name, 'Kachikachi,' also describes a ticking or knocking sound.
