Yoshi's Island DS is a 2D platformer for the Nintendo DS in the Yoshi's Island series. It is the sequel to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, where Kamek and the Toadies have kidnapped all the babies in the world in search for the star children, a group of seven babies who possess powerful stars in their hearts. While the game is heavily derivative from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, including general gameplay, themes, and graphics, the game primarily differentiates itself from its predecessor by taking advantage of the Nintendo DS's dual screen to display levels while introducing multiple babies to carry on Yoshi's back, who all have special abilities that are required to complete levels.

A very fun game that I unfortunately ended up dropping due to its way-too-close camera often making it really annoying to see what you need to do.
Giant chore from start to finish. Whenever I wasn't thoroughly underwhelmed by the total lack of atmosphere, I was actively mad at the infuriating gameplay. The worst part of this game by far is the camera/dual screen implementation. Not only is there a huge gap between the two screens where you can't see anything, there is also screen crunch for some reason...on a game that was specifically made for the DS. I don't think I've ever been hit by something flying in unreactably from off screen in any other game this much. It is maddening. Sometimes it seems very intentional too, like the fake flower in the insanely long cave level (fucking terrible idea btw). Additionally, the visuals and particularly the soundtrack are really bad. Pretty much the only good looking assets in this game are ripped straight from Yoshi's Island on the SNES. The rest ranges from ehh to horrible (the "kangaroo", Bowser, the bull enemies). The music is bland and utterly unfitting. Just compare the cave or castle themes to those of SNES Yoshi's Island and you'll get exactly what I mean. So yeah...I'm just glad it's finally over.
Ce jeu est mal noté purée.
Entre le gameplay assez unique des bébés, les graphismes qui sont sublimes, l'OST si douce, bon le jeu a une durée de vie assez moyenne mais c'est son seul défaut pour moi, je ne peux qu'être heureux de l'avoir.
Bon après faut que j'le complète, mais une partie de moi ne veut pas, mystérieusement. J'ai pas envie de me dire "maintenant que j'l'ai complété, je n'en ai plus besoin", un truc comme ça. Ce jeu est la raison de pourquoi j'aime les jeux vidéo

I really enjoyed the sequel to the original Yoshi's Island. I never got to complete it but from what I did play I had a blast thanks to the different babies that Yoshi can equip now.
God, why was Artoon the developer chosen to make this? Every Yoshi game they have made is just absolute dogshit.
Only Yoshi's Island would make Bowser hate himself.
