Yoshi
Swap Mario’s trays to match falling creatures, or close an egg around a stack to clear its contents and hatch Yoshi before the piles reach the top.

About this game
Move Mario beneath falling characters and swap the trays he holds to rearrange the stacks. A character landing on the same kind disappears with its match, so you prepare the right stack before the next arrival. Egg halves offer a second way to clear space. Place a lower half beneath a pile and an upper half above it to hatch Yoshi and remove what lies between. Type A pursues score; Type B asks you to clear the field and advance. In either case, stacks must stay below the top line.
Collected in series
Yoshi’s games give Nintendo’s long-tongued companion room to lead, especially in platform adventures full of little discoveries. Flutter over a gap, swallow an enemy and aim an egg at something curious. Picture-book landscapes, yarn and cardboard change the scenery, while hidden paths and collectibles invite a second look beyond the goal.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
Stack swapping makes preparation more important than steering the falling piece.
Eggs let you turn an accumulating pile into a planned clear, giving unmatched characters a possible later use.
Strengths
- The egg rule creates an alternative to pair matching.
Who it is for: Players who enjoy sorting stacks and setting up delayed clears.
