I liked it for the most part, but very much feels like a prototype for the much better Wii U Yoshi game. It has some incredible visuals for an N64 game, with some lovely backgrounds and character sprites. The actual gameplay can be occasionally frustrating, with Yoshi controlling like a shopping trolley at times and the flutter jump has always been a bit hit and miss for me. The way the levels are laid out is a bit weird, too. I know it encourages replaying the game, but only letting you play one level per world is a bit of a pisser. I'd much rather play through each level in that world rather than play through to the end several times before you've experienced all the levels.

Overall I enjoyed the sickeningly cute game and I'm pleased I finally got to play it. It's one I always wished I had done but never had the chance until we got it on the Switch.
