Yoshi is a platformer released in 1991 for the Game Boy. The game places players in control of Yoshi, who must navigate through various levels by stomping on enemies and collecting eggs. The main objective is to clear stages by defeating enemies and reaching the end goal, progressing through increasingly challenging environments.
The gameplay maintains a steady pace, encouraging strategic movement and timing. A unique mechanic involves Yoshi swallowing enemies to produce eggs, which can then be thrown to eliminate other enemies or solve puzzles. This egg-throwing ability adds a layer of tactical depth not commonly found in traditional platformers of its time.
Distinctive for its colorful graphics and engaging mechanics on a handheld device, Yoshi integrates puzzle elements within its platforming framework. This combination creates varied gameplay that requires both reflexes and planning, making it stand out among early 1990s portable platform games.
