The kidnapper is Kamek, an evil Magikoopa from the Koopa Kingdom.
Having divined last night that twin babies born this morning will bring
disaster to the Koopa family, he arranged for an early morning ambush.
Returning to his castle, Kamek realizes that he missed the other baby.
He orders his toadies.
“Go forth and find the other baby!! Don’t let his parents get him
back! Ever!!”
Meanwhile, the second baby does not fall into the sea after all...it
lands safely on Yoshi’s back! And right after him drops a map!!
This paradise is Yoshi’s Island. And on this island lives lots of
different Yoshies. These Yoshies are naturally laid back and relaxed,
but this is a calamity and everyone is in a state of panic. As the
Yoshies frantically yell over each other, the baby insistently points
at something.
Yes! The baby can sense the other baby’s location. All the Yoshies
quickly agree to help carry the baby to its destination by using a
relay system not unlike the old pony express.
If you clear a stage, the progress of the game, and score for that
stage will be saved automatically.
Insert the Game Pak into the Super Nintendo Entertainment System
Control Deck and turn the POWER switch to the ON position.
The story will begin. To by-pass the story, and get to the Title
Screen, press the Start Button.
Press the Start Button again to get to the File Menu.
Select the file to which you want your data saved. There are a total
of three.
You may copy files to each other. This allows you to continue a
friend’s saved game.
You may erase date from any of the files. Erased data is
unrecoverable, so be careful when erasing.
If you get struck baby Mario will fall off your back. Watch the timer!
To clear a Stage, jump through the GOAL! Ring, and pass baby Mario on
to the next Yoshi.
If baby Mario becomes separated from Yoshi, the Countdown Timer will
begin. You only have a short time to reunite Yoshi and baby Mario
before baby Mario is swept away by Kamek’s toadies.
Do not allow the Timer to reach 0...
HELPFUL TECHNIQUES
When baby Mario floats way up, you can hit him with an egg to bring him
closer. Additionally, Yoshi can hit him with his tongue by shooting
his tongue upwards.
Increase the Countdown Timer by gathering Stars. You may collect up to
30.
The Countdown Timer starts at 10.
If the Countdown Timer drops below 10, it will recover slowly after you
grab hold of baby Mario again.
The Timer will only recover up to 10.
The Middle Ring
There are Rings (see the picture on the right) throughout each Stage.
These Rings allow you to continue from said point if you fail before
completing the Stage.
Jumping through the Middle Ring activates it and gives you an
additional 10 Stars.
If your game ends before you complete the Stage, then you have to start
from the beginning of the Stage.
Coins:
There are coins everywhere. Collect 100 for a 1up.
Red Coins:
There are 20 red coins hidden among the regular coins per Stage. Grab
them all for the high score. These coins also count as regular coins.
Eggs (Yoshi can carry up to 6):
You may swallow enemies to make eggs, and hit certain blocks to create
eggs. When any egg (except for the Green ones) is used, items will
appear.
Yellow Egg Red Egg Flashing Egg
V V V
Coin 2 Stars Red Coin
Flowers:
There are 5 flowers in each Stage. Collect all 5 for a 1up. They are
worth big points.
Flip Cards
Flip the cards and collect the items. You may flip cards until you get
Kamek, but if you get Kamek, then you lose all the items you have
collected. To end, flip the “EXIT” icon in the middle. If you manage
to flip all the cards, you will receive a special bonus gift. [You
get] Nothing for Kamek’s toadies’ card.
Match Cards
Flip the cards in pairs. Memorize their locations and flip over only
cards which match. Collect those items and receive a bonus gift by
flipping over all the cards.
Roulette
First place your bet, by using [up] and [down]. Then spin the roulette
wheel. Try to avoid the combination of X and 0. The result of the
equation is added to your total lives.
In some Stages Yoshi will encounter watermelons. They come in 3
glorious colors. If Yoshi uses his tongue to take the watermelon into
his mouth, then he will shoot out the special power when you press the
Y Button. (Watermelons can not be turned into eggs.)
Green Watermelon > Spit Seeds.
Red Watermelon > Spit Fire.
Blue Watermelon > Spit Ice.
SUPER STAR and POWERFUL MARIO
If you grab a Super Star, baby Mario will power up and become
invincible for a while and can do a great deal of damage to all
enemies. The controller functions change when you control Mario.
DASH Y Button
CLIMBING WALLS Hold [left] or [right] on the Control Pad.
There are ways to get additional items or 1ups besides the Bonus
Challenge.
To open a locked door, you need to find and collect a key. By opening
locked doors (press [up] on the Control Pad in front of the door),
sometimes you will enter a “Mini Battle Game.” Win this battle and
collect special items or extra lives.
[Locked Door] < Needs a key.
Throwing Balloons (4 or 6 sequences)
You have a limited amount of time to correctly key in the sequence
shown on the screen. Doing so will throw the balloon on to your
opponent. The balloon will inflate gradually and eventually pop; if it
pops on you then you lose.
There is a Long version of the game with a longer sequence to key in.
You may select your special items on the Pause Screen. They can be
very useful in completing difficult Stages.
Special items may be used at any time, except when you are fighting a
Boss. To use an item, pause the game and select the item with the
cursor in the lower right.
The Pause Screen
Press the START Button both to pause and to return to game play.
Additionally, if you have previously completed the current Stage, then
you may press the SELECT Button when on the Pause Screen to return to
the Level Selection Screen.
[Yoshi] Number of Yoshies remaining.
[Coins] Number of coins collected.
[Stars] Current Countdown Timer setting.
[3 Icon Boxes] Special items collected.
Only 3 items are shown at a time, but up to 22 may be stored here.
Scroll through by pressing [left] or [right] and choose one by pressing
the A Button.
