==Story==

If the player waits a few seconds on the title screen, the book onscreen opens and tells this story:

==Gameplay==

[[File:Rail Lift.png|thumb|left|A gameplay screenshot from [[Rail Lift]], one of the levels from ''Yoshi's Story'']]

If a Baby Yoshi is defeated within the level, that Baby Yoshi is taken to [[Bowser's Castle]] by Baby Bowser's [[Toady|Toadies]]. If all of the Baby Yoshis are kidnapped, the [[Game Over|game is over]]. However, any lost Baby Yoshi (aside from the secret, unlockable Black and White Yoshis) can be saved by finding a [[White Shy Guy]] and finishing the level with it. When the player starts a game in either Story Mode or Trial Mode, the game randomly selects a [[Lucky Fruit]]. Said Lucky Fruit automatically heals all of a Yoshi's life, even if the Yoshi is not supposed to like the fruit.

Each world has four different levels to choose from; once a level is beaten, the player moves on to the next world without visiting the other three levels. This means to play through every single level, the player must play through the game at least four different times, going to the unvisited levels in each world. The game has four difficulty levels: Novice, Easy, Medium, and Hard.

===Yoshis' moves===

The Baby Yoshis can perform various moves to complete their adventure. Most of these moves were taken from ''Yoshi's Island'', although some were tweaked or now have a new function.

====Jumping and fluttering====

[[File:Pink Yoshi Flutter Jump.png|100px|thumb|The Pink Yoshi flutter-jumping]]

Eating nothing but [[melon]]s is the most efficient method of increasing one's high score, although it can be difficult to perform in some stages. If this is done, a marker appears at the end of the level. In order to eat all the melons from the stage, the player needs to [[sniff]] all the time to find hidden objects in the ground.

{{br|left}}

{{main|Practice}}

Practice mode consists of an exclusive level in which the various controls and techniques of the game are explained. This level is the only one that does not have 30 melons in it.

==Characters==

All the following [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s are playable. Each of their names is listed next to what their [[Favorite Fruit]] in the game is (since when a Yoshi eats one of its favorite foods, the Smile Meter heals more than it usually would). Eating melons also has this effect, no matter which Yoshi color it is. The different colors also serve as lives. The Black Yoshi is unlocked after the player finds a hidden black-spotted [[Giant Egg]] in the [[Bone Dragon Pit]] or [[Torrential Maze]], and the White Yoshi is unlocked after the player finds a hidden white Giant Egg in [[The Tall Tower]] or [[Poochy & Nippy]].

==Reception==

|-style="background-color:#E6E6E6"

|Release

|align="left"|"''Yoshi's Story tells a bare-bones story against a brilliantly colourful backdrop, utilizing some novel platforming mechanics to bolster interest but ultimately falling a little flat in execution. It doesn't approach the level of its classic predecessor on the SNES, but fans of the series might want to take a visit to relive those days of yore. It's lighthearted fare and pleasant enough — just make sure to hold your expectations in check.''"
