I bought this as a birthday present for my sister who is a huge fan of the character Yoshi I even bought her a Yoshi plush later on from a Japanese store at the Brea Mall. She cried with tears of joy. Yoshi is really important to her life. Now I know if I get her anything too do with that series she will like. She used her plush to be her car buddy. She doesn't have a lot of time to play video games but she was happy too get this game so I don't think it was a waste.
