SMW2+ ROM Hack (you need to use the Zsnes emulator for this hack)
it's a demo that's limited to the 4 levels. The last one I've included is called Yoshi's Islands Frozen Paradise Demo 4 that I couldn't find any info on. I highly recommend this one! I particularly like these two hacks more than the original game, most likely due to the fact that they are more challenging which means more replay value. This one is fucking amazing & really fun also but is actually harder than SMW2+. He released the completed hack in September 2007 but it apparently has a few glitches and some unfinished levels. The next YI hack is Yoshi's Island: Kamek's Revenge and was programmed by S.N.N. This one you also have to use Zsnes to play the ROM. I'm very excited for the final release (Spring of 2008!). There's a demo he released in 2007 to give you an idea of what the game will be like but it's limited to level 3-1 and is quite easy up to that part. Golden Yoshi is currently working on SMW2+2 that promises to be just as good as his first hack but with improved leveling of difficulty that starts off easier and eventually gets more difficult in the higher levels. This IPS hack is already patched but you have use the Zsnes emulator with this particular hack though. It's pretty difficult for the average player like me. The most popular YI hack is SMW2+ that was developed by programmer/ROM hacker Golden Yoshi and released in 2005. NOTE: I've included some other ROM hacks created by developers that simulate the original YI game but with all new levels and difficulty. To this day I play Yoshi's Island and love it just as much as that first day. Since the invention of emulators I don't even pull out my SNES anymore, because they emulate the games so exact it seems pointless.
#Play yoshis island plus
I really loved how you can collect eggs and shoot em, plus how Yoshi runs in the air when jumping and how it delays the jump was pretty handy. At first I thought it was for kids because of the crayon/pastel graphics but in 20 minutes I knew it was something special. Yoshi's Island is a rather easy game but fun as all hell. We both particularly liked Mario World and Yoshi's Island (my wife didn't care for Mario Kart for some reason but I'll save story that for my next ROM post - hint, hint). We practically mastered and beat every one. For the next 4 months we played Mario games any chance we had.
I bought all those motherfuckers right then and there lol. Now of course I was familiar with Mario Kart and Super Mario Brothers 1, 2 & 3 but Mario World and Yoshi's Island were new to both of us. Super Mario Kart, Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island (YI), and they were $20 each! I couldn't believe they still had em new. In the glass case I saw three games that were still in the box. When we bought it I knew I had to have any Mario games I could get my hands on.
They were cheaper and easier to come by at that time, now you're lucky if you can get one under $50. My wife and I bought a used original SNES console at a local gaming store for $35 back in 2002. Yoshi's Island is one of the best games of all time!! This game brings back alot of memories for me.
