Product Description
From Amazon.com
Oh no! It looks like your granddad was right--things really were better in the old days. At least they were if you liked 2-D platform games, and Yoshi’s Island is indisputably one of the best ever made.
Yoshi’s Island goes back in time to recount the touching story of the various Yoshis' attempts to unite Baby Mario with his parents. You don’t actually control the Italian plumber-to-be but instead his dinosaur pal, who has the curious ability to eat his enemies and then immediately turn them into eggs, which he can then fling at more enemies.
Since Yoshi isn’t particularly fast and can float in midair for a few seconds after making a jump, the whole dynamics of the normal Mario gameplay have changed, but the same incredible attention to detail and endless imagination that mark all of Nintendo’s best efforts are still here in full effect. In fact they’re joined this time, after the rather plain-looking prequel, by some wonderful pastel-shaded graphics that were jaw-dropping when the game was originally released in 1995 and still manage to impress now.
As with the other Super Mario Advance titles, this game also contains a four-player version of the original Mario Bros. arcade game, making it even more of a bargain than it already was. --David Jenkins, Amazon.co.uk

Based on Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island for the Super NES console, this game is a continuation of the expert retrofitting of the older Mario titles for the GBA. In Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, you'll actually go back in time and play as Yoshi. Your goal is to retrieve the baby Mario Bros. from Kamek and Baby Bowser and return them safely to their parents in the mushroom kingdom. Like the other titles, it's perfect for pick-up-and-play gaming, and its graphics have been optimized for the GBA's smaller screen.

The best Yoshi Game out there!!,
By Someone (London ontario.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 (Video Game)
I loved this game more than any other GBA game i've ever played. Bieng a fan of Mario and all the other characters in the mario franchise this was like heaven to have an play. The entire mix of gameplay, Yoshi's special abilities and great storyline I think it's a reason in it's self to get a GBA. I've played alot of other Mario/Yoshi games and have Super Mario Bros. 3 and Mario CART Super Circut and this was the best out of all I've played. Plus the classic Mario Bros. 3 is on it for a bargain of 2 games in one package. Also my best friend has beaten the game 3 times and still has lots of fun with it. Be sure to pick up this spectacular game for your GBA.

This review is from: Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 (Video Game)
My sister and I have this game and totally love it!!! It is sort of strange how mario and luigi are babies but it grows on you! I am at the last level called Bowser's castle and it seems unbeatable! It is a really fun game that will have you engaged for hours! Perfect for traveling! Something good about this game is that you can revisit any level you want anytime and improve your score! We definentally recommend this game!Hint: To practice bonus games you need to be in world 4 or 5, press select while your cursor is on a stage and press these buttons in order "L-L-B-A-R" and you should come to another screen with many choices for mini games! A great way to get free items!! Have fun gaming,

Cool!!!!,

This review is from: Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 (Video Game)
It is the coolest game ever with yoshi + mario put together in one game. The best part about it is that it has sleep mode in it (which is not in many games), and all it means is that you can turn off the game boy (but not really) and when you turn the game boy back on (you press R,L,and select)your back at the same spot that you turned sleep mode on and you can countenu playing!
