The words "Touch and Go" feel like a more tame "Hit and Run".

I didn't realize it till now but yeah. Also sums up Yoshi's Island's opening cutscene.

I remember reading in the Nintendo mag that there was a new Yoshi's Island coming out on DS. I was a huge fan of the port on GBA, so I went with my dad to pick it up. Me being a kid, I saw this game and figured it was the same game, they just renamed it or something. I booted it up and was confused, and played it a bunch of times trying to figure out how to get out of this minigame and start the actual game. I was SO disappointed when I realised what I had.

[@Kaiserin]

You were a bit of an idiot lmao.

[@cubedmelons876]

Oh don’t worry. The actual Yoshi’s Island DS isn’t much better. The soundtrack is forgettable, the levels are long and tedious, and 100 percenting the game will take a couple decades off your life. If you've played the original YI on GBA, it's a pretty big step down.

[@Keanine]

@@Kaiserin I mean yeah I won't debate that, but it's also not unheard of. Mario Smash Football was known as Mario Strikers in the US, Lylat Wars was Star Fox 64 etc. I just figured it was renamed the same way as those games

[@Keanine]

@@cubedmelons876 Yeah I ended up getting the game eventually. I did enjoy myself, but it was no where near as good as the original game

This is the first game I ever asked my parents to return to the store. I was so hyped for more Yoshi’s Island, I asked for this game on my birthday and had buyers remorse right away. I think we exchanged it for bomberman or pokemon dash, both of which I played extensively

I love this as an arcade game. Marathon mode's a ton of fun and I think that chaining sprinting flutter jumps for the time trial mode is actually a legitimately fun challenge-there's actually some legitimately fun tech for a mode that at first glance makes no sense. I was initially disappointed by the total lack of story but once I recognized the game for what it is I was playing it constantly for about a decade. Even now, I still boot it up every now and then.
