Yoshi's Island 3D

Yoshi's Island 3D, also known as Yoshi's Island 3D : Dino-Land, is a 3D platformer released in 2018 for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite in 2020.The game features elements similar to Super Mario 3D World, and revolves around saving Dinosaur Land (here also referred to as Dinosaur Islands or Dino-Land) from Bowser and his servants as Yoshi and Captain Toad. The player can either switch between the two characters everytime, or enable multiplayer mode to play with a friend. It is the only main installment of the Yoshi's Island 3D Series, if we consider Birdo's Adventure as a DLC or "subgame" to this.
==Story==
Some time after the events of Super Mario Odyssey, Yoshi goes back to his home island (Zone 0 : Yoshi Village) to meet up with his friends once again. However, a giant flying ship comes and an evil laugh is heard : it is Bowser and his crew. Kamek launches a spell on the island, which summons many Goombas that start attacking the Yoshis, who are now hiding in various spots throughout the island. Yoshi, after escaping from Goombas and Koopas, enters a cave (Zone 1 : Dark Dark Cave), meeting Captain Toad, who has a torch in his hand. Unfortunately, some rocks fall from the mountain and cover the entrance,and so they have to explore the cave, until they meet Boom Boom in a wrestling-like ring. Boom Boom, using duplication powers, creates two other versions of himself, which can be taken out easily. After he is defeated, an exit is found, and the duo continues their journey finding a waterfall (Zone 2 : Waterflow) behind of which they find Nabbit, who fights them throwing shells at them and going invisible. When he is defeated, he drops his money bag, revealing a golden statue of Bowser and lots and lots of loot. Yoshi and Captain Toad continue onto the next two zones (Zone 3 : Forest of Goombas / Zone 4 : Desert Island) where they fight King Goomba and Bowser Jr. inside his flying vehicle, until they reach Bowser's Castle (Zone 5 : Bowser's Fortress) where they fight Bowser, who holds a cannon that shoots Bullet Bills. Once he is defeated, he escapes in his ship with the remains of his army and Bowser Jr., yelling "I WILL COME BACK".
By the end, a friendly Goomba wearing a Mario Hat and fake mustache in the Yoshi Village gives a couple of tasks to Yoshi and Captain Toad, like finding Yoshi comics throughout the Zones, and will pay them a good amount of gold and 3 stars when you complete the tasks.
If you start a new world after defeating Bowser, the game will ask: "Do you want to enable EXTREME mode?" If yes is selected, the game's difficulty is increased, more enemies wait for you in the levels and Bowser is replaced by Dry Bowser.
==Gameplay==
Yoshi and Captain Toad explores various areas in order to collect Power Stars to reach other zones. Once you unlock a zone, you can always go back to other ones when close to Checkpoints. Yoshi can eat Goombas and release an egg, do triple jumps, reach far away enemies with his tongue and bring them closer and use the flutter jump power, which lets him almost fly for a bit. Captain Toad can explore small areas through where Yoshi doesn't fit, hold blocks and throw them at enemies, run faster and use his torch to light up dark areas. Also, Toad is the only capable of picking up extra items but can't jump.
If you are playing single player, the AI character will follow you around and attack enemies.
