Ranking Every Yoshi Game

Beeg Yoshi is cool, but there's also some pretty radical Yoshi games. I ranked all of them because I needed an excuse to play Yoshi Touch & Go.

[@FletcherReedsRandomness]

I feel that Yoshi is kinda trapped being the “kiddie” Nintendo series, what with the cute childlike art styles, cutesy instruments like recorders, kazoos, and xylophones, and the beyond easy difficulty. I think they got the idea from the original’s coloring book aesthetic, even though the soundtrack sounded like any other SNES game and the levels were pretty engaging and fairly difficult.

[@jclkaytwo]

woolly world escapes the "kiddie soundtrack" trap. there's so much variety in the music, including rock.

[@TheYoshiFanatic]

I definitely agree. In some games, the difficulty balance is perfect, allowing for easy accessibility for younger players while offering a decent (optional) challenge for those who want it. In other games, though, they really do cater more to the younger player base. I'd love to see a return to Yoshi's Island's difficulty balance: easy enough levels to get through (although some of the later levels were legit tough), but a real challenge to 100% complete. I think that's when Yoshi's games are at their strongest, and appeal to the most people.

[@wohao_gaster7434]

yeah I didn't know why yoshi is the kind of Kids series but if kirby is anything to go by they can do it right oh shoot I just realized they're all E10+

[@siga.7578]

Yeah its sad that Nintendo is just so persistent about making the Yoshi games catering towards the younger audience along with not letting the series stand out on its own like the Wario and DK franchises. I always feel like Kirby series is what the Yoshi series wouldve been if Nintendo actually put some effort into it.

You played as Yoshi and went against some of the antagonists of Yoshi's Island, recruiting all of them up until you go to the mountain. Depending on what level you're on depended on what enemies you fought. However all of them are a Koopa, a Piranah Plant, Kamek, and finally Bowser himself.

I’ll admit Yoshi’s Story may seem a little weird at first, but honestly, I think it’s great! It’s very different from any other Yoshi game, and focuses on trying to get a high score far more than the others and finding the fruit that will help you achieve this goal the best. Beating the game is easy, but the true challenge is perfecting every level. Also, you feel AWFUL when you die in this game. If you’ve played it, you know what I mean. Also, the Yoshi‘s Story ending theme remix from Brawl is so so good!

[@TheAquaYoshiDingbat]

I'm nearly 40 years old and Yoshi has been my favorite video game character since I was a child. While I completely understand and respect his ranking, Yoshi's Story will probably always be my number 1. I remember playing that game when I was young over and over again just so I could write down each levels story and draw each of the chapter select screens just so I could make my own "hard copy" of Yoshi's story. I still have it to this day (as well as my Yoshi's Story and Super Mario 64 folders I had in middle school). I know exactly what you mean about dying in this game. The black and white yoshis were my favorite to play with but I would usually stick to the other yoshis because I knew they would make it back during the end credits even if I couldn't find the white shy guy.

dude yoshis island ds was always one of my most favourite games, even though i think levels were flawed and annoying, i still found it really fun to play. also you COMPLETELY skipped over the part that the game had minigames which i always loved to play and beat my high score on, like the flutter challenge and the bouncy room challenge. also the fact that its multiplayer compatible makes it a great time. and you also missed probably the most unique feature in any yoshi title which is the museum. once you defeat enemies in the game, they get added to the museum and it just adds an extra element of enjoyability and interactiveness. youd go into separate rooms and look at all the enemies and you could even interact with some of them as well. id put yoshis island ds in my top 10 favourite nintendo games in general

[@amaras.4500]

Yoshi Story was the first ever video game I had. It's got a simple structure and was easy for child me to grasp. It wasn't so much supposed to be a difficult game with challenging bosses as it was just a nice little story time, where you guide Yoshi through the chapters of the story bringing him to retrieve the Super Happy Tree- if you want more of a "challenge" you can find the 30 special melons scattered and hidden around each of the chapter levels and find the secret Black and White Yoshis. It's definitely a "kiddie" game, but I remember it very fondly ^^

[@nesradub360]

I think Nathaniel is the only person who gets excited about tilt controls. Most people hate 'em with a burning passion.

[@X2011racer]

It all depends on how they are programmed. I know Sega struggled with Wii motion controls early in the system's life. It wasn't until the Olympic Games where they finally got the hang of it.

[@Dylan_-tu7zk]

Wooly world is nostalgic for me (although I hated shuttlethread pass as a kid).

[@B0ssguy]

yeah that level and the one with the platypus balls i didn't like but overall it's one of my favorite games of all time

[@Switch_Lens]

0:01 I think the main thing that Nathaniel is hungry for is views, considering how many of these amazing videos he's put out recently.

[@miahthorpatrick1013]

Perhaps he felt like he had to after the whole channel hack last month.

[@jetlirlajqi6977]

i love how unique your videos are. they make me feel so nerdy in a good way lol

[@bilgehankose2006]

Yoshi’s Woolly World is another 3DS and Wii U Game that we still Need on Switch.

[@jctotboiofficial]

I've never played any of these games, but if I had to choose one, then it would be Yoshi's Island (SNES).

[@zoelindwall637]

I had to pick a Yoshi and baby Mario game I pick the 3ds version or the ds version

[@jctotboiofficial]

@@zoelindwall637 Ok

[@Pipersgang]

Yoshi woolly world is so good I bought the game 4 times Wii U 1 physical 1 digital and on the 3ds 1 physical and 1 digital. The reason why is because the disk for the Wii U broke and I got it digitally. for the 3ds I got digital but had no storage so I got a phisical version.

[@aidenshadow4020]

Yoshi’s Woolly world is my favourite game of all time personally, I remember having an amazing time just playing each world over again as different yoshies and with every level being unique, an amazing art style and many great Yoshi designs to pick from, it truly has the potential to be one of the greatest games of all time.

[@aidenshadow4020]

I think my top two favourite games of all time are extremely underrated due to the conceal they came out with, them being Yoshi’s Woolly world and Donkey kong country tropical freeze.

[@andreaalexander1407]

I actually have a weird love for the NES Yoshi game (the weird table swapping one) it's really weirdly fun

[@Twin138956Productions2019]

Yoshi's crafted world is as good as Woolly world

[@Shadex_Joestar]

Gameplay-wise,yes When it comes to completion,I don't know We just don't speak about the music

[@galvsparks6295]

Crafted has better levels and core gameplay imo, woolly edges out on the less tedious 100% and I think we can all agree that in terms of music it’s night and day

[@ShootEmUps]

Damn yoshi has a lot more games than I thought there would be

[@rezzoflansch2936]

I think you should count "Tetris Attack" in the list as well. Yoshi might not be in the title, but he carries the game and its pretty good also.

[@STICKOMEDIA]

I haven't watched a Nathaniel bandy video in like a year, love the video just what I needed, a yoshi

[@n.d.engleson6499]

You forgot to mention that a certain number of levels in each world of Yoshi’s Story can only be unlocked if you collect a certain number of these hearts shown at 7:38 from the previous world.

[@galvsparks6295]

I honestly really like crafted world and feel it’s way too overlooked (probably because people usually prefer woolly world) As you said the music and souvenirs are really the game’s main issue but aside from that the levels look good and all have many creative and fun ideas to always feel different and aside from the souvenirs the other collectibles are fun to get. So overall it’s a very solid 2D platformer As for the comparaison with woolly world both games are about equally as great imo just for different reasons

[@LeafRazorStorm]

My only guess about the length of "Yoshi's Story" is that Nintendo was trying to revitalize that arcade mindset of "Get a higher score every time you play" (btw, 5,500 per level is what most fans consider 100%.) That is only a reasonable ask if 1) you can go from start to finish in one sitting, hence only six levels per play-through, and 2) if each play-through is significantly different from the last, hence the ability to choose whichever levels you want and end each level wherever you want.

[@Myrope]

That was a fun video! I admittedly would put Yoshi's Safari or Yoshi's Cookie (SNES) on the top of the list. Those games I could replay forever and the soundtracks to both are fantastic. Floating Castle from Safari is on so many of my playlists, lol!

[@raszze]

I’m in world 5 in the original game. Never figured out why people said it was easy. For me it’s one of the harder Mario games, harder than Mario 2 and 3

[@insertname7397]

Putting Yoshi's Story so low isn't just wrong, it's a crime.

[@xebatansis]

In "Yoshi's Story" you can play new levels by finding the hidden hearts. You don' t have to play through the whole game 3 times.

[@Kim-en9gp]

My list: 1. Yoshis Island DS 2. Yoshis Woolly World 3. Yoshis Gameboy 4. Yoshis crafted world Thats all I played xD

[@RondoOfBloodX]

Great list man I agree with everything except T&G. That’s actually my LEAST favorite Yoshi game. Also major props for not completely shitting on YI DS like most people do. Yeah it has some things that are annoying about it like you mentioned but it’s not a horrible game.

[@Driggsdamonstah]

I’d swap the top two. The Advanced version does a lot of things I don’t like, even despite the things that are new.

[@vincentbranciforte9832]

Yoshi's Wolly World is a masterpiece best Yoshi games no question such a good game with a fantastic music also Yoshi's Island snes it right there as well

[@genericchannel4910]

In Yoshi's Safari Mario gets a gun meaning it's one of the greatest games ever made.

[@Willcheetah24]

Nice

[@garsrandom4358]

15:28 also almost all of the stage songs uses the same motif, wich quickly gets repetitive, the only ones without it are: the map theme, the miniboss lair theme, the miniboss theme, the boss theme, bowser's robot theme and mega baby bowser theme

[@Sammykyt]

As someone who grew up with Yoshi's Island DS, I find it to be very underrated. You could argue that I am biased due to nostalgia, but I just played it this morning and it still holds up.

[@brandonfazbear4219]

Yoshi's Woolly World was the first Yoshi game I ever played and I will always remember first learning about it in Middle School. I got my first phone during my second year I believe and we had a limited plan but we were also planning to move soon so my family decided to save money by removing the access to TV channels and such so I didn't know what was going on and was still fairly new to the Internet as before then, my knowledge and usage was very much limited. My main source of news and updates were on Facebook of all things as KZbin was still a mystery to me. I remember seeing trailers for games like Super Mario Maker and Yoshi's Woolly World and would constantly play those trailers because I was just excited and would try so hard when I used up my very VERY limited data as we also cut off the wifi to save money since we were gonna be moving out and you already know how that must feel having no TV channels/cartoons, no internet unless I was at school or my Nana's, and very limited data usage. But onto the actual game, I love Woolly World for the charm and asthetic it has and has a decent difficulty in some stages. The different costumes are always a treat to collect and I feel happy and safe when playing it. The music always is amazing unlike Crafted World where all music is unique. I even have all 3 of the standard Woolly Amiibo. It would be a miracle to find the Jumbo Woolly Yoshi Amiibo for a decent price as many seem to sell it for $100 or something which does make sense. I also never had the 3DS port which came with the adorable Poochy Amiibo and all the extra content and I can find one in a store that has tons of old toys as well as new toys and games and books and other items, but the Amiibo costs around $80. Kinda like how the same store once had the extremely rare Blackout and Spotlight Skylanders in the same class as the Amiibos and N64/NEE/SNES games like Pokemon Snap, The Legend of Zelda, etc. But when I couldn't get them the one time and tried to come back soon after, they were gone in an instant. Oof. But again, back to the main topic, one thing about Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World are the stop motion shorts you unlock which I'm surprised you didn't mention in the ranking as they are the most adorable little shorts of all time. The remind me of Wallace and Grommit as well as Shaun the Sheep which I've became a bug fan of recently. Those shorts you can unlock actually helped me through a really tough moment in my life actually. I was in High School reaching my Junior/Senior year when one of the students I was with in a class would talk about nothing but suicide and his her life was terrible and it got to me. My mind started to be overwhelmed by so many things all at once for a long time to where I too started to think of suicide and let me tell ya, those days were some of the toughest days I went through and had to get tons of support to help me through it when death and end of the world kept flooding my mind (I really need to stop seeing clips of those global destruction movies). Among all the people, friends, teachers, Church friends, and family, those Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World shirts also helped cheer me up when I was down. It brought a glimmer of happiness to me with the cuteness and wholesomeness it brought. I would constantly watch them if I ever felt down or just whenever I could to help push back against everything and eventually, with all the help and the video I found online of the shorts, it worked. And now, I can still go back and watch those shorts and just enjoy the cuteness. I will always appreciate my friends and family for helping me but also appreciate the shorts helping me as well. I'm sorry if I got too deep or depressing. I just sometimes get deep into a topic I wanna talk about and this moment was a big personal moment I went through in life. Thank you for reading this if you made it this far.
