Yoshi's Safari Playthrough (Actual SNES Capture)

This is a capture of me playing through Yoshi's Safari on the SNES. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my Super Nintendo using an actual Yoshi's Safari cartridge and the Super Scope light gun. To skip the intro story, jump to the 3:00 mark.
This game isn't very difficult to play through, so I decided to record some newer footage in 60 fps (the official SNES S-video cable will also help to clean up the footage compared to the crappy old third-party cable I was using).
Yoshi's Safari is highly recommended if you own a Super Scope and are looking for games to play beyond Super Scope 6. It's a decent game in its own right, and you can't go wrong with a Mario-themed spinoff like this one. It features the Koopa Kids and there's even a two-player mode if you're interested in that, but the second player simply uses a standard controller to move Yoshi. There's also a hidden hard mode if you want more of a challenge.
Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official SNES S-video cable at 60 frames per second. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the SNES's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.
The Super Scope requires a CRT TV to function, and since the Hauppauge only outputs to the TV using component video (a format not supported on my old CRT TV), I used my distribution amplifier to split the SNES's audio/video signal and send one set of cables to the CRT TV while sending the other set of cables to the DVD Recorder/Hauppauge HD PVR combo.

I remember playing this with my mom as a kid. She controlled Yoshi and I had the light gun, we had such a blast! Ah, good times.

[@danucciguzman]

Did you two beat the game?

[@Callofduty408]

W mom

[@marchioof]

It looks so weird with Mario holding a gun.

[@AllHailKingKurt]

panther5896 what’s even weirder is when Mario kills one of the bosses yoshi turns back and smiles at him like “yeah, you did it, you killed that guy 😏”

[@cutiefriendsadventures7129]

ECTrouble I think he's supposed to look at the player.

[@erlindaibarreta8611]

The gun Mario uses is called a Super Scope.

[@harmonc.5101]

Yoshi face after you beat a boss is too funny . Like yea bitch lol

[@turtlefungusismywaifu]

36:52 Storming the beaches of Normandy (1944 Colorized)

[@rockercorey999]

It looks great!!! Thanks for this!!! Looks like a fun game!!! One i missed as a kid and If I had a super scope and a CR TV i would add this to the collection. Music is top notch and The 16bit Koopa Kids look awesome too. This game is screaming for a revisit.

[@axylorionfredrick]

Great. Mario went from "punching" Yoshi to shooting him! Poor Yoshi.

[@okieyoshimd9817]

I remember seeing this game at a friends house. My excitement quickly turned sour when I learned you needed a super scope and alas my friend was sans a super scope. But thanks for making this video, you helped me live out a childhood dream (:

I had this game and it was really really fun to spend time playing it .

[@Trollseeder]

i remember seeing this at a game store.. vague memories.. of course in my head at the time it looked super impressive, "arcade like". thanks for uploading.

[@AllHailKingKurt]

Wow, didn’t know there was a snes game that referred to the princess as peach, I thought she wasn’t called that until n64

[@matthayden4]

Yep, first time in North America that she was ever referred to as "Peach" was this game.

[@frowner_and_co]

Same In England Here

[@deceasedchannel7856]

Why was I not interested in this game when I first saw this?!

[@missepicure6438]

This is why I'm good at shooting games.

[@extradeluxe141]

Still a better FPS than Call of Duty.

[@henrythepurplepoodledog612]

Agreed

[@xCurvx]

Nice job! Looks like a pretty fun spin-off, decent gamelay and music.

[@nimaiiikun]

I remember wanting to play this, but had to choose between this game or metal combat. i chosed the latter which I also like a lot

[@harmonc.5101]

Man this game is kinda violent . Before cod there was yoshi safari hahahah

[@dr.ferret5802]

I don’t care about this game I just think yoshi looks cute in it

[@andredavis8824]

yoshi safari yoshi island two of the best yoshi Games of the 90s BAR NONE

[@KitteauK]

Why do people keep calling this an FPS? It was a light gun rail shooter, completely different genre.

[@frederickjohn93]

2 questions. 1. What perspective do you play from? 2. What actions can you perform?

[@TightPantsJack]

There are sections where you have to steer Yoshi, so not quite as limiting as a standard rail shooter (but not as much freedom of movement as a typical FPS).

[@torrent9666]

14:15 Mario got a Chaos Emerald!

[@pflynn12]

They could have added this to the Wii virtual console shop along with duck hunt, the technology was there but they wasted it

[@Dragonsamuari]

Why can't Nintendo make games like this again? Or at least bring it back to the Virtual Console? They brought back Duck Hunt FFS!

[@WellBeSerious12]

Because you touch yourself at night.

[@MazeBeans]

I honestly don't even know what went through your head when you wrote that reply.

[@JackCaliber]

Because light gun rail shooters slowly died out after first-person shooters allowed you to walk wherever you wanted and shoot things..

[@tartuffethesprywonderdog5883]

Because Duck Hunt is an iconic game that everyone had, and this isn't.

[@theskytographer5148]

I want to punch Yoshi in the face when he gives that dopey smug look at the end of a level

[@scipion3679]

Actually, you can hit him with the gun when you aim his head. He then have a patch and give you a sad look

[@frederickjohn93]

He's just looking back at it.

[@PeruvianPotato]

I want to punch you in the face for considering that

[@Galactusperson]

Are you playing this on an old tv?

[@gkakssnjdkxiajqnwnaallaka3991]

You have to, its the way the light gun works

[@johneygd]

Are you using a flat crt tv or a curved crt tv? Just amezing how you made it trough this game. And sunce you used a dvd recorder, you can expect a little latency, but despites that you had no issues with that. As if the game wasn't hard enough, theres even a hard mode,that's inane concidering the technology of the super scope wich uses a frame reference system to determine if an object was whether hit or not,and that all in realtime.

[@WatchmeplayNintendo]

I'm using the curved-type CRT TV. I'm actually not using the DVD recorder as far as the TV is concerned because I use a distribution amplifier to split the signal across two separate cables (instead of simply using cable splitters). So the cables going to my TV are not going through the DVD recorder. Only the cables going to the capture card are. I've actually beaten the hard mode. It is indeed hard.

[@gunma747j]

oh i see but where can i find those split cables?

[@danucciguzman]

@@WatchmeplayNintendo Do the flat screen CRTs work with the Super Scope?

[@WatchmeplayNintendo]

Maybe. I haven't tested it. The Angry Video Game Nerd claimed that he had some problems.

[@redgeneral5792]

I played the shit out of this game when I was younger.

[@robertanderson2898]

I loved this game! Just hated that big damn Super Scope you had to use with it, otherwise this would've been perfect. I love the graphics and music. And when you hit a boss it sounds like blast beats from those death metal bands, heh heh.

[@codysouthwind7176]

Mario packing heat

[@thunderlina3237]

I'm surprised a Mario FPS actually exists... No wonder no body accepted Peach being called Peach until super mario 64, I bet nobody then even bought this game, well, except a few people.

[@AllHailKingKurt]

Thunder Comics Official it is a bit bizarre, isn’t it.

[@somescottishguy191]

I've had it sitting in my collection for 20+ years but I never played it as the cart would not work. Always frustrated me as a kid wondering what the game was like. I had pretty much forgot about it until the other day. Gave it a good clean and it worked for the first time. Went in blind. Glad to know my child self wasnt missing anything worth playing. Only came here to see if the rest of the game sucked as badly as the beginning 😂

[@ourevilone]

I got it in a bundle for christmas

[@RBEO22]

Mama mia! Why did it take me this long to just bring a gun???

[@angelorivera2768]

5:14 LOOKS LIKE TEAM KOOPA’S BLASTING OFF AGAAAAAAAAAAAIN!!!! *ding*

[@TheDarkKRoo]

Nintendo please give us another yoshi safari.

[@notkirb_]

3:29 laughability...

[@kristofladanyi3671]

Imaginee this getting a remake as an FPS and Yoshi has the gun, and Mario isn't in the game.

[@ChescoYT]

Yoshi's 'Space Harrier'...lol

[@shepherdstar14]

The game looks like Mario mixed with F-Zero graphic wise, and Yoshi’s island.

[@gkakssnjdkxiajqnwnaallaka3991]

It would have to look like F-Zero because thats how they did "3D" lol

[@TheGreat-or3hp]

I think that the purple Yoshi Tech demo was supposed to be Yoshi's Safari to either on the Gameboy Advance or the GameCube

[@danucciguzman]

This game is awesome! I still have the Super Scope 6 bundle and this game. And a CRT TV to complete it. =)

[@WiltshireByways]

Operation Wolf it ain't.

[@HeartinaRosebud]

Sweet!

[@gab_v250]

24:33 wait, this is the first in-Nintendo crossover, well before Smash Bros 64

[@erlindaibarreta8611]

That reminds you of the Dark Realm, do you?

[@gab_v250]

50:49 everyone wants to get along with Peach, I guess

[@kiwibro6454]

Ive always wondered...who the hell is prince pine and king fret?

[@daviscameron713]

I remember we had this game but could never play it

[@WellBeSerious12]

Would be awesome with a Wii U and Switch HD remakes, not ports.

[@schowd31]

would loved to see this re released on wii u.

[@mashedpotato245]

Maybe for VR Labo?

[@Jamesamong007]

You didnt have to say that its a real SNES, its impossible to play super scope games on emulators anyway.

[@WatchmeplayNintendo]

Not true. I've seen tons of emulator footage of Super Scope games, such as this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3jaqqFoeLZnqpo Besides, I still get people asking "IS THIS AN EMULATOR?" despite my descriptions. I even had a former N64 developer do it.

[@frowner_and_co]

17:28 Is Morton Dead Or Did He Give Up?

[@gunma747j]

wait,how can you use super scope when capturing it?

[@Youtuber-xi6qo]

Is the snes super scope used?!

[@SonicPlayer2004]

Is this by Nintendo or is this a bootleg game?

[@tardistime6857]

Yoshi face is saying you my bitch now

[@glorted]

gun mario

[@paralyzingtech8379]

Do you need a gun controller or can you play with regular controller?

[@Fuzy2K]

It requires the Super Scope.

[@TheGreat-or3hp]

God this is the longest intro ever

[@NadrianATRS]

is this fun? I can't tell

[@TheGreat-or3hp]

547 why the fuck is Mario shooting Yoshi with the fuck a bazooka

[@WatchmeplayNintendo]

"with the fuck a bazooka." The greatest of all bazookas.

[@Craytonex]

wow I never knew about this game
