Yoshi gets high in this game
One of the last times nintendo would truly innovate on platformer design. This is a throwing type platformer in the vein of mario 2 rather than the more familiar jumping type platformers (mario 1, 3, world ect ect). Unique scoring system that pushes you to 100% the game. Each level is stuffed with little secrets. Beautiful hand drawn looking graphics with some 3d effects that must have been jaw dropping in '95. The overworld music is so good you don't wanna start any of the levels except when you do the music in the levels is EVEN BETTER. Maybe the only missed opportunity is the lack of alternate routes on the map screen that made mario world so cool. Additionally .3 points are deducted for how grating baby mario's screams are when you get hit. If you know you know.
