Me and my Sons wore this game out when it first came out. My Wife even enjoyed the game as much as she and my Mother loved Yoshi's Cookie on the Original Nintendo. This game has some great and cool graphics and a few challenging levels. I played with my Grandson earlier in the week just to see how much I remembered,this game is still and may well be one of the best games ever made for the N64. Yoshi was always my Fav and is my Grandsons also. You have the ability to choose which color Yoshi you want when you start a level,however if your Yoshi dies, you get to see him carried away to Bowser's castle. You can at that point choose another Yoshi and begin again. There are two colors that have more abilities than the others, but you have to get through a level first. Then theres some tricks and secrets hidden that you must find in order to use them. You even get to ride on a snake of sorts as it takes you into the clouds,you must jump onto a cloud or two until you reach another snake. The game is so much fun and it still keeps you entertained and stuck to your seat. My Grandson is occupied for hours playing as I once was. There are challenges that are allot of fun also, if you win a challenge and collect all the items that you must carry across the finish line,you get surprises and a Giant heart. We used to have tournaments amongst family members to see how many we could get across the finish line. Like I said above hours of fun and entertainment for everyone.
