Did you know that in one of the best platform games ever to grace the Super Mario series, Mario can’t jump \u2014 or, for that matter, run or talk?<\/p>\n
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island<\/em> is a curio, even by the standards of a series that had previously seen an advergame about throwing vegetables (based on a discarded Mario prototype) reskinned as Super Mario Bros. 2<\/em>. It is the official sequel to the Super NES launch title and best-game-ever contender Super Mario World<\/em>yet it has a different art style, a different lead character, and radically different gameplay.<\/p>\n These days, it might be more useful to describe it as the first Yoshi game instead; the game that established the cuddly green dino and his brand of mechanically inventive, tactile, kindergarten-bright platforming. And that’s all accurate. But the wonder of Yoshi’s Island<\/em>, which is included in Nintendo Switch Online’s SNES collection, is that it can still hold its own among the full-throated Super Mario games, too. It is as exquisitely crafted, as freewheeling, as mischievous, and as joyously weird as any of them, and a best-game-ever contender in its own right.<\/p>\n
