Yoshi's New Island is a fun platforming adventure made for the Nintendo 3DS handheld console. It's part of the popular Yoshi game series, which features Yoshi, the friendly green dinosaur from the Mario games. This game is the third one in the Yoshi's Island story, following Yoshi's Island DS. It first came out on March 14, 2014.

Exploring Yoshi's New Island Gameplay

The way you play Yoshi's New Island is very much like the earlier games in the Yoshi's Island series. In this game, you control Yoshi as he travels through many different levels. Your main goal is to guide Yoshi safely through each stage. You must avoid getting hit by enemies and protect the baby he is carrying.

How Yoshi Moves and Attacks

Yoshi can do many cool things to help him on his journey. He can jump high and flutter in the air for a short time, which helps him cross gaps. Yoshi also has his famous flutter jump ability. When he eats enemies, he can turn them into eggs. These eggs can then be thrown at other enemies or used to find hidden items. This egg-throwing skill is a key part of solving puzzles and defeating bosses in the game.

Protecting Baby Mario

A very important part of the game is keeping Baby Mario safe. Yoshi carries Baby Mario on his back. If Yoshi gets hit by an enemy, Baby Mario floats away in a bubble. A timer starts counting down, and you have to quickly grab Baby Mario before time runs out. If you don't get him in time, you lose a life. This adds an exciting challenge to each level.

Collecting Items and Secrets

As you play, you'll find many items to collect. These include coins, flowers, and red coins. Collecting all the items in a level can unlock special bonuses. There are also hidden paths and secrets to discover, making each level fun to explore multiple times.
