History VideoGame / YoshisIsland

* BubblyClouds: "In the Clouds" from ''DS'' and "Welcome To Cloud World" in the original. Probably a few other secret levels too.

* StarsAreSouls: When you defeat [[EnsembleDarkhorse Raphael the Raven]], he becomes a constellation.
* [[TheStinger The Stinger]] : Post-credits of ''Yoshi's New Island'' reveals that [[spoiler: the pipe that spontaneously grew legs and eyes early in the game was actually a time-traveling adult Mario. In the darkness of the night he shreds his disguise and returns home.]]

* NintendoHard:
** ''Yoshi's Island DS''.
** As well as Crazy Maze Days from the original game, as well as Endless World of Yoshis and Kamek's Revenge from ''Advance 3''.
** Getting all of the [[CosmeticAward totally useless stars on the opening screen]] in the original game and ''DS'', which involved finding twenty red coins, five flowers, and having a completely full health meter on every level. It's even worse in ''Yoshi's New Island'', since the game takes away inventory items (meaning you can't refill your star meter), ''and'' the game reduces your number of stars to the default 10 if you lose a life. So if you're at a checkpoint later in the stage, you might as well just try again from the beginning because you're not getting 100% completion.

* NonStandardGameOver: Happens if Roulette is the featured Bonus Challenge and the player is down to one life. After the rules are given, the challenge automatically ends.

* {{Constellations}}: Upon defeating Raphael the Raven, he flies off into the sky and becomes a constellation.
** An extreme version of ATwinkleInTheSky.

** There's also Kamek. When the first thing your charge does is stomp you flat, there's a reason why he panicks when Baby Bowser wakes up.

* ''[[VideoGame/YoshisUniversalGravitation Yoshi's Universal Gravitation]]'': Known by the name ''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy'' in the U.S. -- A short platformer with a tilt gimmick and ''VideoGame/YoshisStory''-style graphics, as well as featuring the grown-up Bowser.

* ''[[VideoGame/YoshiTopsyTurvy Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]'': Known by the name ''Yoshi's Universal Gravitation'' in Japanese and European languages -- A short platformer with a tilt gimmick and ''VideoGame/YoshisStory'' style graphics, as well as featuring the grown-up Bowser.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** ''Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy'' is called '''[[FunWithAcronyms L]]'''[[FunWithAcronyms ustiges]] '''[[FunWithAcronyms S]]'''[[FunWithAcronyms poren]] '''[[FunWithAcronyms D]]'''[[FunWithAcronyms rama]] in the German version.
** In one of the paths in Bowser's Castle, there is a bandit trapped in a small room with burning Shy Guys beneath his feet. Mook punishment?
** After you defeat Prince Froggy, Yoshi squeezes down the bottom of his stomach. When the scene changes to outside, Froggy lays on his back in agony while Yoshi appears between his legs and grows back to normal size.

** BornUnlucky: The yellow Yoshi must brave through every fourth level which includes the fortress and mini-boss. The blue Yoshi has to storm every castle which includes the world's boss (except the last, which is Bowser's Castle for the green Yoshi).

** In the original, Kamek is ''not'' happy when you make it to Baby Bowser's room, and even ''less'' when he accidentally wakes his master up.

* FacePalm: The stork in the ''Yoshi's New Island'' intro upon realizing he brought Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to the wrong house.

* ConspicuouslyLightPatch: Each level in the original game had 20 red coins, disguised as and placed among regular gold coins. However, if you look very closely, you'll notice that the disguised red coins have a subtle red tint to them, which makes them easy to distinguish from the gold coins once you know what to look for, especially on emulator. This was fixed in ''Advance 3'' so they all look the same.

* DiscOneNuke: in the original, getting OneHundredPercentCompletion on any given level is quite the feat, considering that, other than five flowers and twenty red coins - both well hidden - the player must also have his or her stars reaching the {{Cap}} of thirty by the end of the level; that said, managing to do so in every level in the first world awards the player with the [[http://www.mariowiki.com/Flip_Cards Flip Cards]]bonus minigame by making it ''accessible at will''. This means that - especially when dissing the whole "avoid Kamek and you get 10 lives" thing - you can use the minigame purely as a source for items, including a whole pack of egg-ammo, the possibility to tell red and yellow coins apart, an "add 20 stars" item... you get the picture.

* SequelDifficultyDrop: ''Yoshi's New Island''. Indeed, some of the carryovers from the classic game have been ''simplified''. [[spoiler:Take the final boss fight, where the arena is much more forgiving, for starters, as you aren't threatened by bottomless pits]].
* SequelDifficultySpike:
** ''Advance 3'' added a handful of Secret levels that are pure PlatformHell.
** ''Yoshi's Island DS'' is widely considered to be a much tougher game (unto even PlatformHell levels) than the original, with many dangerous traps that will execute you simply for the crime of not expecting them.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Bowser, either as an adult or as a child, is usually behind Kamek, even if not intentionally.
