Yoshi

Yoshi (GB)
System Game Boy
Developer Game Freak
Genre Puzzle
Series Super Mario Series

A puzzle game starring Mario and Yoshi. As Mario, swap the plates at the bottom of the screen and the growing towers of enemy blocks will swap with them. Match two enemies to clear them. Stack enemies between two halves of a Yoshi Egg to hatch a Yoshi and earn bonus points. The more enemies that you trap provide a bigger Yoshi and more points.

The Game Boy version, released alongside the NES version, contains the same game modes and gameplay. However, due to the reduced screen size, there is only vertical stacking room for 7 blocks, rather than 8. This changes the scoring of the game as fewer enemy blocks result in a higher score.
