"Yoshi's Island" Basics Trivia Quiz

Answer: Luigi

There are five babies that ride on Yoshi in the game. They are Mario, Princess Peach, Donkey Kong, Wario, and Bowser. Each baby has different abilities. The game is about rescuing Baby Luigi and other babies from adult Bowser.

Answer: five

Although a lot of Mario games have eight worlds, "Yoshi's Island" only has five. Each world has eight levels. Like most Mario games, the worlds start easy and get harder and harder.

Answer: flowers

There are a few different things that you need to collect in each level. The more you have of each, the more points you get. There are five flowers, twenty red coins, and one baby coin in each level. You also need to collect time (thirty seconds maximum) in the levels. You start each level with ten seconds and each time you go through a middle ring, you get ten more. You can also find little stars that give you one second each. If Yoshi is hit and the baby goes into a bubble, you lose time until you get the baby back.

Answer: kangaroos and birds

Although the birds are bad guys and will hurt Yoshi, they are possible to ride if you jump on their backs. In a couple levels, there is a kangaroo you can ride. Yoshi sits in its pouch as it bounces high up in the air to help you collect coins.

Answer: He can move metal objects

Wario uses his magnet to attract coins and metal boxes and lifts. Donkey Kong can climb chains and vines, swing on vines, and break walls. Princess Peach uses her parasol to float high on the wind.

Answer: Bowser

If Yoshi is carrying Baby Bowser, he cannot eat enemies or make eggs. This is because the Y button, which normally allows Yoshi to stick his tongue out, instead lets Bowser breath fire. The fire can be used to do most of the same things eggs do and to melt blocks of ice.

Answer: Mario

When Mario is riding Yoshi, he can run faster. Mario also allows you to hit red M blocks to get coins or grow flowers to climb on. Mario can also use special stars to become Super Mario, allowing him to run on spikes and easily kill enemies.

Answer: True

Shy Guys can be found in almost every level. Usually, they are wearing their traditional clothing of different colored robes. But, in some levels, they may appear with umbrellas to float on wind, inner tubes to float in water, flower petals on their heads, or helicopter propellers to fly.

They also are sometimes dressed as pirates or as jungle natives with grass skirts, feathers, and spears.

Answer: No

There are two types of balloons in this game. One type carries items across the screen overhead. Sometimes they carry good things, like keys and lives. But, other times they carry bombs that they will drop on Yoshi. The other type of balloons float upward and can give Yoshi a lift.

Answer: Shell Smash

There are five mini-games in "Yoshi's Island". They are Tulip Shooter, Flutter Challenge, Bouncy Maze, Speed-Eater, and Egg Toss. There are easy and hard modes for each one. They can be played outside of the worlds or in some levels if you can unlock the room they are in.
