Nintendo did not use their time and the game suffers, Try Before you buy, if you have palyed the SNES version 10 hours
but lacks the graphics and gameplay to accelerate, the charcter are many and varried and you have many varied courses, it is wery frustrating game often on some wery hard maps,
Mini bowser and thats the opponent perfect for Yoshi. too bad mario is not seen anywhere, the geography setting is poor,
The Story would have been exelent for a RPG but the chosing of the story book is ok. the Differet youshies is a new way for extra lives.
a pluss for lots of humour and the youshi language
Try Before you buy.
