Yoshi's Island Free
Yoshi's Story is a side-scrolling platform game published and developed by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. It was first released in Japan in December 1997, and worldwide the following year. It was re-released on the Wii's Virtual Console service in 2007, and later for the Wii U's Virtual Console in 2016.
Yoshi Island Game
This is what happens when Nintendo gets outside of its wheelhouse and tries to outdo its edgier competitors—it signs off on a commercial featuring a gross, exploding man. Did it sell the game? Hard to tell. All that happened for certain was that more than a few people were appalled by what they saw and demanded it be taken off the air.
It's funny because even by today's standards and the expanded waistlines of today's Americans, this would still be an offensive ad.
Enjoy!

Throwing Balloons is a Mini Battle from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. In it, a Yoshi has a contest with a Bandit to see who can win a combination between Hot Potato and Simon Says, tossing a slowly expanding balloon back and forth until it pops on the loser. The player must push the right buttons to throw the balloon back to the Bandit, and the Bandit will do the same. The player and the Bandit both have a set time limit in which they have to enter the buttons. If the player or the Bandit don't press all the buttons given, or make a mistake, the timer will restart again. There are three modes, the four-button mode, a five-button mode in the GBA version and the six-button mode. Also, if the player accesses the Mini Battle menu from the World Map (only in the SNES version), they can play a multiplayer version of the game, in which the second player will control the Bandit. If Yoshi wins, he will get an item, two extra lives or three extra lives. Description[edit]
