Game Description
Yoshi's Island has lost its happiness, and six adorable little dinosaurs are ready to save the day! Yoshi's Story brings Nintendo's beloved green dinosaur and his colorful friends into a charming storybook adventure filled with delicious fruit, mischievous enemies, and whimsical surprises. When the troublesome Baby Bowser steals the Super Happy Tree, the Yoshis must journey through a magical picture-book world to bring joy back to their island. With colorful 2.5D platforming, playful exploration, and classic Yoshi abilities, every page bursts with personality. Flutter Jump, toss eggs, and gobble up fruit as you help the Yoshis turn their frowns upside down!
Forget racing toward the finish line — in this adventure, happiness is the name of the game! Explore 24 imaginative courses spread across six storybook pages, from cheerful meadows and mysterious caves to tropical jungles and underwater passages. Instead of reaching a traditional goal, each stage challenges you to collect 30 pieces of fruit while avoiding enemies and discovering hidden treasures. Use Yoshi's extra-long tongue, ground pound, and egg-throwing abilities to uncover secrets, defeat troublesome Shy Guys, and reach tricky locations. Hunt for Lucky Fruit, valuable melons, and hidden Special Hearts to improve your score and open new paths through the adventure.
Every Yoshi has a favorite fruit, and keeping your little dinosaur happy is the secret to success! Choose from six colorful Yoshis, discover hidden black and white Yoshis, and watch your Smile Meter as you explore each imaginative stage. Collect Heart Fruit to become Super Happy, unleash powerful abilities, and turn difficult situations into opportunities for big scores. With branching course selections, challenging fruit-collection goals, and a rewarding Trial Mode, there's plenty of incentive to revisit the adventure. Developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo in 1998, this Nintendo 64 console cartridge release delivers a wonderfully cheerful platforming experience for fans of Yoshi and classic Nintendo games.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Yoshi's Story arrived in North America in March 1998 as the Nintendo 64 follow-up to the beloved Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, replacing traditional platforming progression with a distinctive fruit-collecting adventure. Developed by Nintendo EAD, the game combined polygonal characters with richly textured, storybook-inspired environments that resembled paper, fabric, and other handcrafted materials. Its memorable soundtrack was composed by Kazumi Totaka, who also tucked his famous hidden musical signature, commonly known as Totaka's Song, into the game. The combination of expressive Yoshis, branching stages, and cheerful picture-book presentation gave this Nintendo 64 platformer a personality all its own.
