Talk:Yoshi's Island DS

message: Checking Google, there are literally NO references to this game as Super Mario World 3. The only references to anything as "Super Mario World 3" are typos for Super Mario Advance 3, Yoshi's Island (the original), Super Mario Land 3 or Super Mario Bros 3.
The one reference to Yoshi's Island 2 involving "Super Mario World 3" is a forum post lamenting the fact that it is not called Super Mario World 3, and Kotaku saying "To be technically correct, this game should be called Super Mario World 3". There's no discussion on the topic, and the only Google result on the first 5-6 pages that suggests that Super Mario World 3 is a name that some people use to describe this game is Wikipedia.
If no one can cite people sometimes calling this Super Mario World 3, there's no reason to say it's sometimes called Super Mario World 3.
:I'm thinking of this like Wario Land: you could call Wario Lands 2, 3 and 4 Super Mario Lands 4, 5 and 6... but you wouldn't. Vitriol 16:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Super Mario World 3" 

message: "rare sequel to a sequel"? That's like saying Final Fantasy X is a "sequel to a sequel to a sequel to a sequel to a sequel to a sequel to a sequel to a sequel to a sequel". It's not rare.
*Yes.  Also, in Japan it's not called "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island," it's called "Super Mario: Yoshi's Island," like how "Super Mario World" was "Super Mario Bros. 4."
*Actually it was called both in Japan as this boxart shows. . --Edgelord 02:58, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sequel 

message: I'm going to go STRAIGHT ahead and change something.  I'm sure all fans of Yoshi know that Yoshi's Story is the true sequel to Yoshi's Island, and at a time was going to come out as Super Mario Advance 5.  This solidifies it in the Mario Side-Scrolling Series, and so is the true Super Mario World 3 (although this is only literal--no Mario; this also occurs with Wario in terms of Super Mario Land).  Yoshi's Island 2 is the Sequel to Yoshi's Story.
:Then it would have been called Yoshi's Story 2, no? Also I do not recall anything beyond an early tech demo that even implied Yoshi's Story would be SMA5. I think Nintendo has officially disowned that game. Manmonk 04:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I recently played this game, and it is indeed the true sequel to the first YI. The game shows the events of the first game during the opening.
Excuse me but isn't Yoshi Touch & Go the first sequel to continue the story? I mean it takes place right after Yoshi's Island ends and starts with Kamek kidnapping the babies again. Just because you can't beat the game (seeing that it acts like an arcade game) doesn't mean that it does not continue the story, so it's still essential to the story line. Because of this Yoshi's Island DS should be the second sequel to continue the story.

thread_title:  Sequel 

message: I mean first of all, the first game was legendary, and was developed by Shigeru Miyamoto himself, and now the official sequel is being made by a third party company, now that seems ridiculous! Also, I don't see Artoon anywhere on the Nintendo site, it just says Artoon on regular game sites like IGN and Gamespot, and they're not always right, take Pokemon Ranger for example, it says on IGN that the game was developed by Ambrella, but on the official site, it says that it's being developed by HAL Laboratory! Same thing goes for Nintendo Power, they had their moments as well, how do we know that they didn't just take that info from IGN or Gamespot? I haven't seen an interview or an OFFICAL confirmation yet! - Hero of legend 9:59PM, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
:The August issue of Nintendo Power (V206) confirmed that the developer is indeed Artoon.  They also developed Yoshi Topsy Turvy, but that game didn't quite live up to standard.  So I guess they were given a second chance. -SaturnYoshi 04:54, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't worry, even though the game IS being developed by Artoon, it is being directed by Takashi Tezuka, whom directed Super Mario Bros 3, the original Yoshi's Island, Zelda: A Link to the Past, and many more.--Bentendo24 18:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahem, Tezuka was also responsible for Yoshi's Story, and look how that turned out. The Legend of Miyamoto 19:11, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Every director has a dud.  Miyamoto directed Super Mario Bros. 2, considered by many to be the weirdest and weakest Mario platformer. Hbdragon88 03:02, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Is Yoshi's Island DS and Yoshi's Island 2 the same? sorry to ask but i need to know cause it confuses me. BlackMoney 04:35, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confused

message: I recently began playing this game (don't ask how), and I noticed that the Training Course from the first YI also appears in YIDS. Also, stage 1-1 is similar to YI's 1-1, it even has the same stage card from the first game. I will play further to catch more details.
Update: The Black and White Yoshis from Yoshi's Story return in this game. This time, the white Yoshi is playable in the Extra stages. Black Yoshi is playable in the Secret stages.
How did you play the game must I ask? Captain Underpants King 20:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Is this game not going to be released in Japan? It needs to be specifically stated if its not and the information needs to be added if it is.--SeizureDog 15:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Re: Confused 

message: Okay, I used the spoiler analogy so I could give you my reservations in a nice manner so some of you could understand. My point is, regardless of how obvious or unnecessary it seems considering the nature of mario game; we cannot dismiss it because of popular culture in which Mario storylines are ridiculed, it is not encyclopaedic to omit that beacuse of that. The martian thing was half joke, half-serious -- what if someone didn't actually know or want to know spoilers? What if someone was unfamiliar with the Mario seems, as strange as that may seem.

text: *Sigh, and prepares the explanation he gives everytime this happens*The use of spoiler warnings is disputed. Some like them, others don't. There's been hundreds of kbs worth of discussion about them (I looked for the link, but couldn't seem to find it - will look harder if necessary). Nobody managed to reach a consensus on what to do, so now we use them on a case by case basis. "The good guys win", which is what these 'spoilers' amount to, isn't anything that warrants the use of spoiler tags. And it's not just Mario games, the good guys winning is what happens in 95% of everything. The Wikipedia bar at the bottom of every page contains a link to Wikipedia:Content disclaimer which makes spoiler tags somewhat redundant. Lastly, I point you to FFVIII, SotC, MGS, MGS3, Devil May Cry and other featured articles which contain way more spoilers than Yoahi's Island. – Steel 12:35, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spoiler tags 

message: I've added a [citation needed] tag to the Engine section seeming that there hasn't yet been any evidence provided to support that the game was made with the same engine as Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.99.68.132 (talk) 13:54, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
