History YMMV / YoshisStory

** Even by the game's standards, Cloud N' Candy is very easy. She gently hops around doing CollisionDamage if she hits Yoshi. You defeat her by licking her, which causes her to shrink until she disappears, which can be accomplished in all of ten seconds. The kicker is, every time you lick her, it ''restores your health''. If you want to make it ''even easier'', stay in the left corner of the stage; she won't be able to touch you ''at all''.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
** There's a snowy level where getting 30 fruits teleports you into a room made of pipes and lined with newspapers, where you fight an alligator whose lips are so big that you kill him by making them pop.
** The Bone Hydras on page 2 don't have to be paid any mind to, nor are they mentioned if encountered. Nor are the giant slugs located on the same page.

* GameBreaker: The unlockable black and white Yoshis. If you thought the game was easy enough with the other Yoshis, the game will present no challenge to you when using the unlockable ones. They can [[ExtremeOmnivore eat anything in the game]] without taking damage, regardless of the toxicity of the item or foe. They also gain extra health from eating various things, and have eggs with a larger explosive radius than usual. They also get infinite flutter jumps, and actually glide when doing it.

** The White Shy Guys, for being interesting and useful {{Sixth Ranger Traitor}}s.

* ItsEasySoItSucks: The game was designed to bring in younger kids and get them interested in video games, so the game is substantially easier and shorter than usual.

* ThatOneLevel: "Shy Guy's Ship", where the player must avoid Bob-Ombs ''and'' stop them from exploding if on breakable rocks, which must be kept intact if aiming for obtaining all 30 melons. Not to mention the constant ledges and the fact the Bob-ombs just ''love'' to hit you as you're leaping from one ledge to another. Finally, the second section has Yoshi riding seagulls as platforms while avoiding Bullet Bills, and on the last half of that section, more breakable rocks, the first two rocks not holding a Bill Blaster have Melons revealed by GroundPound on them, which requires precise timing to avoid the Bullet Bills knocking Yoshi over the rock and into the Bottomless Pit.
** Level 4-2 counts, because of that ANNOYING GODDAMN FISH. You're practically guaranteed to lose half (or more) of your Yoshi team when trying to collect all thirty melons in this level.

** There's a snowy level where getting 30 fruit teleports you into a room made of pipes & lined with newspapers where you fight an alligator whose lips are so big you kill him by making them pop.

** Yoshi fans specifically who once directed their ire here are looking at it in a new light after both mixed reception of ''Yoshi's Island DS'' and the relative failure of ''VideoGame/YoshisNewIsland''.

* {{Mondegreen}}:
** The song the Yoshis sing throughout the game, spoken in {{S|peakingSimlish}}imlish:
*** "Eat apples..."
*** "Be careful..."
*** "The asshole..."
** This little gem from Yo-Yo-Yoshi of the pipe levels.
*** "Yo-shit..."

* AntiClimaxBoss: Baby Bowser, made even easier by the abundance of health power-ups and even invincibility from the Super Happy Tree.
** [[spoiler:Baby Bowser might actually surprise you on higher levels if you're caught unprepared. His movements are a bit tricky and more ghosts appear to block your attacks. What's more, the amount of fruit the Super Happy Tree produces becomes noticeably limited now! Suddenly, you need to think twice before rushing over to the tree and simply gulping down 5 pieces of fruit in one sitting.]] Of course, he's still not really hard, but if you're not careful...

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: There's a snowy level where getting 30 fruit teleports you into a room made of pipes & lined with newspapers where you fight an actual alligator whose lips are so big you kill him by making them pop.

** Of course, "easy" is only true as long as you don't care about each individual Yoshi surviving until the end of the game (and one gets the feel the game will make sure you feel bad for letting a yoshi "die"); and unless you know where the overpowered [[GuideDangIt black and white yoshis]] are or where to find the easy to miss [[WhiteMage white shy guys]] you are pretty much going through the stages on only 6 lives...now add the increasingly present OHKO's from late in the game and while overall "finishing" the game will be easy there's a chance you will miss a lot of stuff.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: It's [[NintendoCapriSun so happy!]]

** At the time, Nintendo was widely ridiculed for making this a TwoAndAHalfD platformer, with most critics claiming that games like ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' and the then-upcoming ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' were the way of the future. Nowadays, 2½D platformers are one of the most popular genres, with few people other than Nintendo themselves producing any 3D platforming games (and even then only in the [[SuperMarioBros Mario]] series).

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[AwesomeMusic/YoshisStory Enough to have a page of its own.]]

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The melody to "Baby Bowser's Lullaby" has some similarities to Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" from The Nutcracker.
