Pure Puzzle Panic with Yoshi & Friends!
Yoshi is a falling block puzzle game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991 and developed by Game Freak.In the game the player builds up for stacks of monsters that must be eliminated before they grow taller than the screen. This is done by either stacking up sets of identical monsters or by lining up the bottom and top halves of a Yoshi egg. If a top half falls onto a stack with a bottom half somewhere below, the halves come together and hatch into a Yoshi eliminating the entire column. The four columns are swapped horizontally back and forth by Mario at the bottom of the screen.
Tropes found in the game:
- Endless Game: The "A" Type game only ends when the player receives a game over.
- Leaning Tower of Mooks: Four towers of mooks gradually stack up on the screen and the goal is to eliminate them.
- No Plot? No Problem!: Why is Mario lining up towers of enemies so Yoshi can come out of an egg and eliminate them? Being a puzzle game, there is no explanation why.
