Yoshi’s Story is a charming side-scrolling platformer released for the Nintendo 64 in 1997. Set within a vibrant pop-up book world, you guide a group of colorful Yoshis on a mission to defeat Baby Bowser and rescue the Super Happy Tree. Instead of racing to a finish line, your goal in this relaxing adventure is to explore each level and eat 30 pieces of fruit to progress.
How to play
To clear a stage, you must eat 30 fruits scattered throughout the level. Your health is represented by a smiley flower, which blooms as you eat and wilts when you take damage. Using the default browser controls, use the Arrow Keys to move around. Press X to jump (hold it to perform a flutter jump), and press Z to use your tongue to eat enemies or fruit. You can also aim and throw eggs to hit distant targets.
Tips
- Focus on eating melons or fruits that match your current Yoshi’s colorโthese will restore more health and give you a higher score.
- Don’t forget to use your flutter jump to cover long gaps and reach high, hidden areas where extra fruits and secrets are often stashed.
- Keep an eye out for White Shy Guys or hidden giant eggs, which can help you unlock the secret Black and White Yoshis.
