Why is Yoshi's Island being considered a Mario game? Yoshi has his own series now and this was the start of it.

It wasn't like you were forced to use him all of the levels. If you're backtracking to save Mario in Yoshi's Island, you need to get better at not getting hit or reacting much more quickly to get Mario.

Not everybody is psychic to know people are on phones.

I made it prettt damned clear that Yoshi was my least favorite part of Super Mario World. I then made it pretty clear that having the next chapter be entirely about Yoshi and that Mario was just a hinderance to the gameplay.

I did type that on a PC when I got home last night.

I'd agree that Yoshi became his own thing following this game, but it's still officially the sequel to Super Mario World.

That's another way to say "I don't have any actual reasons to why I think the game is overrated." I can see disliking the game for Mario's crying, but not for calling it overrated.

Are you dense?

I gave you other reasons why I thought that the game was way over rated. Yoshi was the weakest part of Super Mario World, so having a Super Mario World sequel that was based upon a character that was the weakest part of the previous game, does not equate to it being a great game in the series. I'd much rather play the spinoff Super Mario Bros. 2 (North America), over Super Mario World 2, that has a character that many people often killed off to advance in a level in the 1st game. IGN's list of top 100 games includes Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, yet it doesn't include Super Mario Bros., or Super Mario Bros. 2. That is a joke.

I don't like the Mario Crying part of Yoshi's Island, because I was constantly bombarded by it every time I entered a Best Buy near my home. It was broadcasted over the multi-screen display for nearly 6 months. It was horrible!

I played Super Mario World after Mario Bros 3 and Sonic. So i wasn't impressed by it's gameplay or it's graphics.

Have you even played Yoshi's Island? Yoshi can do a number of things that he couldn't do in the first Mario World. Did you even complete the first world at all?

Oh yeah, and Super Mario Bros. is on IGN's 100 games at number 4. I don't know why you're complaining about a list made in 2014.

Sull, I don't follow.

Don't follow what, Thief? Like what Yoshi can do? He can throw eggs, make eggs, hover in the air for a brief moment, ground stomp. He can turn into many vehicles like a Transformer. He can eat watermelons and spit out seeds. A flying Yoshi would have been nice, though.

Yes, he can do those things. So what? That makes it impossible for the game to be overrated? You keep arguing but it's not clear what your point is.

I'm not saying it's impossible for it to be overrated, but the guy keeps complaining about Mario World 1's Yoshi when that version plays a lot different from the Yoshi's Island version. I'm really doubting he's played the game. There's other reasons to say a game is overrated like level design and difficulty. A crying Mario should not be a reason or your only reason.

Yoshi Island is not overrated. It's better than SMW and I Don't hear anyone talk about it much if any.

Yoshi in Sonic 2 is amazing, too.

I like Yoshi's Island. Baby Mario doesn't even sound much like a real baby (whether it's due to the compression, or if its a voice actor imitating a baby), so it's not nearly as annoying to me as it seems to be for everyone else (it would be hilarious if someone hacked the game to replace it with Charles Martinet's Baby Mario voice, though). It's a solid and pretty creative platformer. The sequel on the DS is decent, and pretty challenging, but the music is very bland. The 3DS one is outright terrible though. It's completely babified, both in difficulty and music.

This is also the first I've heard of that hack. It's hilarious, and awesome at the same time!

Yeah, I've played it. I wouldn't say what I did if I hadn't.
