Yoshi's Story

Game Overview
Yoshi's Story came out for the Nintendo 64 in 1997, developed and published by Nintendo. It arrived during a time when the console was building its library with colorful, family friendly titles, offering a lighter alternative to some of the more complex adventures available.You control one of several Yoshis, navigating through screen by screen levels made to look like storybook dioramas. The main goal is to find and eat enough fruit to complete each stage, often by exploring multiple paths or uncovering hidden areas. Signature mechanics include throwing eggs to hit enemies or interact with objects, and using Yoshi's flutter jump to cross wider gaps. The game moves at a relaxed pace, with a generally low difficulty that encourages exploration rather than intense challenge. It feels cheerful and straightforward, like flipping through a bright, interactive picture book.
