Yoshi & Birdo's Island

----
Yoshi & Birdo's Island is a 2D platforming video game developed by Niobium Moon Studios and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Hub console. It is also 's first proper foray into the Yoshi series as a director.
==Gameplay==
Gameplay is generally similar to that of the original Yoshi's Island video game and Yoshi's Island DS. The player takes control of different colored members of the Yoshi clan, tasked with carrying baby versions of familiar Mario characters through levels. This time, however, the Yoshis also team up with a group of Birdos, with the player controlling both a Yoshi and a Birdo in each stage.
The Yoshis can hover with the Flutter Jump manuever to reach higher ground. They can also use their tongues to eat enemies and turn them into eggs, which can be aimed and thrown at objects or other enemies. The Birdos cannot Flutter Jump or eat enemies, but they can shoot eggs out of their mouths and upgrade them with temporary power-ups, allowing them to defeat certain enemies and perform certain actions that the Yoshis cannot on their own. Both Yoshis and Birdos can use a Ground Pound to destroy structures and defeat enemies from above.
The player can swap between a Yoshi and Birdo by pressing the L and R Buttons, which prompts one to toss the current baby to the other. Each baby gives the Yoshis and Birdos a unique ability, as they do in Yoshi's Island DS, and can be switched around to suit the situation at hand. When the Yoshi or Birdo takes a hit, the baby will be knocked off their back and begin to float in a bubble and cry for help. The player is then given a time limit to retrieve them before they are taken away; if they fail to do this, they will lose a life.
==Story==
One day, Yoshi's Island is faced with an invasion commanded by Wart, who wants to trap all the children of the world in his dream realm, Subcon. A group of Birdos under Wart's command steals a nest of Yoshi Eggs and gives them to him - only for him to betray them and take their own eggs as well. The Yoshi Clan, seeing that the Birdos care for their young as much as they do, offers to team up with them to get both their eggs back. Meanwhile, Baby Mario manages to escape Wart's clutches and joins the Yoshis and Birdos so they can help him find his friends, who are being held hostage by some of Wart's goons.
