Trivia / Yoshi's Cookie

• Keep Circulating the Tapes:
  • For reasons unknown, Yoshi's Cookie hasn't been rereleased in any format since 2008. Its Wii Virtual Console port was delisted from the Wii Shop Channel worldwide on October 2013 with no explanation whatsoever. Oddly enough, South Korea still had the game available up until the Wii Shop Channel's closure in 2019. Since then, the only way to play this game nowadays is either pirating it or finding a used copy.
  • Because only 500 copies of Yoshi's Cookie: Kuruppon Oven de Cookie have been known to exist, this game is heavily sought after by collectors. As the game was only ever released as a contest prize by National (now Panasonic) to promote the Kuruppon Oven, it was never ported to another console.
• No Export for You: Yoshi's Cookie: Kuruppon Oven de Cookie, which was released to promote the oven of the same name, adds an additional mode involving Yoshi teaching the player on how to bake the cookies seen in the game. As the oven it was promoting was Japan-exclusive, this version of the game never saw an international release.
• What Could Have Been:
  • This game wasn't a Mario game at first. It began life as a completely unrelated game called Hermetica / Archimedes, and was being developed by Home Data. However, it did poorly with test audiences that the rights to the game were sold to Bullet-Proof Software, who would later rebrand it into Yoshi's Cookie.
  • The NES version of Yoshi's Cookie was supposed to be ported onto the Wii U at one point, but it ultimately never happened. Despite this, footage of the Wii U port still appears in the Sizzle Reel.
