Yoshi
Game by Nintendo
Review by The Avardancer
Size: 2 Megabits
Save: None
Released: 1992
Works with: Any version of Gameboy.

Opening Snide Remarks: This puzzle game is called "Mario and Yoshi" in every
country but America. Why? The title: "Mario and Yoshi" sounds better than
just "Yoshi". Anyways, that's enough of that, on to the review.

Gameplay: The idea of the game is to match up the little creatures to get
rid of them. There's also egg shells that are thrown in for good measure.
If you get the bottom of the egg shell and you stack a bunch of creatures
on it; you will be able to get a lot of points by stacking the top of the
eggshell and sandwiching the creatures. There's two game modes; one is a 
go for a high score thing, and the other is a clear the screen time trial.
Yeah, there's two player mode as well. This game has a major gameplay flaw.
It's easy. It's fun; but it's easy. This is a beginners puzzle game. Experts
won't find any challenge here. You can also play against an opponent with the
Game Link cable.

Graphics: The graphics are well done. There's little cinema scenes and extra
animation thrown in that makes this a fun game to watch as well as play. The
game is recognized by Gameboy Color and a pretty cool Color Pallete is given
to the game by that system. :)

Sound: It's there; and it's good. But, you won't notice it unless you really
are looking for it.

Music: Cute, and sometimes a lullaby. The music is romper room fare; but it's
fun. The mushroom theme sounds almost celtic, the flower theme will put you
to sleep, and the star theme is jolly and fast. But, the OFF option is your
best bet.

Play Control: Read the manual, because the play control is less than 
intuitive.

Final Analysis: Like puzzle games? Need a quick distraction? You might like
this; but I find it shallow and too simplistically easy for a puzzle game.
