2 Yoshi's Island Reviews!

Today I'm gonna do two Yoshi's Island Reviews because I promised that I would soon do a review on the original Yoshi's Island and I thought eh... if I do a review on Yoshi's Island I might as well do a review on Yoshi's Island DS so here I am making these two reviews now.





*Old School Game Reviews* Review on Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Ah, remember back in the day when most video games were actually oh I don't know GOOD? Well define good this game is one of the BEST!! better than Super Mario World in my opinion it's the 2nd game to feature Yoshi and Yoshi was actually the main star in the game it starts out when Kamek brings trouble onto the Mario brothers Why? They were only babies at the time what did they ever so far do to Kamek? Well Kamek had predicted that as adults these mischief little twins will cause havoc for the Koopa Kingdom so Kamek thinks she can fix it by taking them away from their homes but luckily a stork saves them from the evil hands or claws?... of one of Kameks goons. Well actually the stork only saved one of the babies, Luigi on the other hand was needing some serious saving because the stork was captured as well and Mario fell ironically safely on a Yoshi's back. Confused, the Yoshi happily decides to help Baby Mario save his little brother and the stumped stork. But since only a baby and a unwanted bird showed up it was up to Kamek to try to steal the remaining baby from Yoshi. Throughout the game you eat enemies to turn them into eggs which become very useful for earning lives and especially for fighting bosses but the most annoying thing in the game is once Mario is separated from you he cries very and I mean VERY annoyingly but most of the game makes up for it. My favorite boss battle was fighting Baby Bowser, after getting past most of the castle you find Baby Bowser and Kamek while Bowser is sleeping he wakes up in a tantrum stomping Kamek flat. But as he gets a sight of Yoshi he confuses him with a green Donkey and tries to stomp on Baby Mario as a mini boss battle but the best part is when you beat that first little sample of a Baby Bowser fight then the real boss battle happens, see after you beat Baby Bowser Kamek heals him but she doesn't just heal him she makes him 100 times bigger than he already is I'm not gonna tell you exactly how it goes you'll have to find out yourself but it is epic! anyway after you completely beat Bowser than you run toward what you now see is Baby Luigi and the stork tied up and well you know what happens.. oh ya don't?.. well... YOU FREE THEM AND BEAT THE GAME DUH! anyway despite one of the most hated things about Nintendo which is the crying Mario I will give this game my first 10/10! Because this was one of the most exciting games I've ever played.



Review on Yoshi's Island DS

Well this game is near the same but it has a couple of new features that takes the fun out of the series but one of those new features don't take the fun out of the game which is all the new babies you can ride with like Baby Donkey Kong, Baby Peach, Baby Wario, and even Baby Bowser on your back along with Baby Mario it starts out where Kamek is once again kidnapping babies but this time not just Mario and Luigi she's also capturing many other babies looking for star children which are 7 babies with amazing powers which include Baby Peach, Donkey Kong, Mario, Luigi, Wario and Bowser and at the end of the game you figure out the last baby which I'm not spoiling because this is a review not wikipedia, okay later you find out that the Kamek capturing the star babies is the Kamek from the future along with Adult Bowser to rule the world. there is not much to talk about here because I mean it's too close to Yoshi's Island so I don't think there is anymore for me to talk about I will give it 7/10 due to lack of fun brought on by the original Yoshi's Island.

SAVE THE PLANET!!!!


Recycle, Conserve, And SAVE THE EARTH!!! Happy Earth Day! Today is the special day once every year that we use to reflect what we do that hurts the planet and remember always what happens to the planet happens to us too. Anyway everyone should use this special day to plant trees, conserve electricity and fossil fuels, recycle and do something as simple as keeping your sink from dripping even though most of us should be doing this everyday. I mean I have to admit I'm a little to lazy to do most stuff like that but most of us are and we shouldn't do that, I'm going to celebrate this holiday by buying that new game, Wario Ware D.I.Y, and not let it get old at some dusty video game shop to get thrown away. I will also celebrate it with real ways to save the Earth too like I mentioned earlier. So remember today don't just stay at home playing your laptop, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP, or any system or electronic device what so ever too long and remember to get out, smell the roses and kick some pollution out of the galaxy!

*Old School Game Reviews* Review on Super Mario World


This is one of the best games ever made for the SNES. I mean, I know it came with the SNES but it's way better then Wii Sports that came with the Wii. It was also the first game that starred Nintendo's famous Yoshi. There is not much back story on this game though it doesn't explain when or how Bowser captured Peach or how the Mario Brothers found out how she was captured or what the only backstory that took place in the game is where Yoshi explained how he was trapped in an egg where he couldn't get out by Bowser so he could kidnap the princess. But the game doesn't need the back story because it's already too Awesome!!! I wished they'd bring back all the enemies and power ups in the game that have been long forgotten since the 1990's. Actually most of the things from Super Mario World were in the game, Super Mario Bros. Wii, I was so happy whenever I pointed out things from Mario World in Super Mario Brothers. Like if you have ever played Mario Brothers for Wii then you would probably remember that circle made up of Boos, the most famous ghost enemies in the Mario series, well that Boo circle is origianally from Super Mario World. Also Super Mario World features the Koopalings much like how they returned to video games in Super Mario Brothers Wii. Of course in the 90's they were called the Koopa Kids. Though all aside, the bottom line is this is one of the best Nintendo made games ever I'll give this game a straight 9/10 stay tuned in a couple of weeks I will be talking about Super Mario World 2: Yoshis Island.

Review on Super Mario Galaxy


I can't choose between this game or Super Mario Brothers Wii if either one is my all time favorite Mario game for the Nintendo Wii but let's just say it is one of my favorites. This game is very fun most people say it's too easy but there are a couple of challenging and very frustrating puzzles, levels, and bosses for the game. It starts out when Mario is invited to Peach's castle to watch the Star Festival with her that happens every 100 years. But Bowser, knowing him as a serious party crasher, ONCE AGAIN is coming to steal Princess Peach away from Mario. He gets a giant alien space ship to carry the castle that Peach is in and pull it out of the ground even though that's kinda impossible but apparently it is possible in the video game world anyway Mario still on the castle while it's in space is BLOWN onto a distant planet due to Kamek waving her fancy little wand trying to help Bowser. Well on that planet he finds alien bunnies that turn into stars and bring him to their adopted mother, Rosalina, to help him find the princess. Through the game you keep on going back and fourth going from Rosalina's mother ship to new levels. The levels were clearly very fun with the design on the round planets and things on the planets that aren't possible on Earth such as lakes that float in midair or Electric Monsters of some sort. Even though most of the planets and galaxys were way to small to be considered planets and galaxys but in Super Mario Galaxy 2 they fix that problem but lemme focus on Mario Galaxy 1. At the end of each level you get these stars that were the same exact stars in Super Mario 64 except they were renamed Power Stars they are sorta like Shine Sprites in Super Mario Sunshine because they fuel that big Sprite in the middle of the island that you are on but in Galaxy you are fueling Rosalina's half broken space ship By letting them go into this huge star in the center of it. Actually most of the whole game is based on Mario Sunshine so if you really liked Mario Sunshine I'd reccomend this but I'd also reccomend it to people who haven't played Sunshine because so far I have never played that game but I still like Galaxy, but don't get your hopes down maybe one of these days you'll see a review for Mario Sunshine but as of right now it's time for me to rate the video game. I'll give it an 8/10.

Review on Grill Off with Ultra Hand



This game you can get as a wiiware game but you cannot just get it at your wii shop channel. I said on my April Fools Day post that you got it from a certain website that I wasn't gonna say until today and if you looked at one of my previous posts "Review on Game & Watch Collection DS" to be exact. Then you would have found the link. https://club.nintendo.com/rewards.do;jsessionid=FE4A83F4CBE78A9C26BE4957B57F999E Club Nintendo, the website where you can collect points for doing surveys on games you own and then use them to get free Nintendo collectibles. Anyway I told you the website now I'm going to get to the review. You start out controlling a toy hand grabbing meat that falls onto three grills in front of you and you have to make sure they are ready before grabbing them you also have to make sure they don't burn or else it's game over for you. As you get to more levels the grills get hotter so it makes the meat cook faster and it also lets more meat fall. At first the game is hard to get used to with the controls but once you get the hang of it it's kinda fun, BUT ONLY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS!!! It's always the same thing and there is not neccessarly a goal except to get the highest score because it is based on a toy Nintendo had made before they started making video games. The controls are weird cause you have a wii remote and a nunchuck and you have to move them 2 certain ways, use the control stick, and press, let go of, and hold down the A button at the right times all at the same time though it's easier then you think, well for me it is. This game I'll say is okay I'll give it 5/10 so basically it makes a 50%
