#55. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES, 1995)



I talked about it before, but in the mid to late 90s, when 3D games were new, I just had trouble getting into them. It was all new for the designers, and there was still a lot of learning and refining to do. But at the same time, 2D games had been going in full force for a while, and developers were really experimenting with them and seeing how they could push the envelope to create truly unique designs. When I first saw Yoshi's Island, I was amazed. It looked like something totally new, and the creativity made it clear that this was still a big step forward somehow. It still holds up great visually today.

As a platformer, there are so many good levels. Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy is like one of the top all-time ones. The castles all have fun bosses, the vehicles and super baby Mario are almost aways lots of fun, and there are all kinds of mini-games in the locked doors and at the ends of levels. Getting 100 scores on each level can require exploration or puzzle solving or just well-played execution. I think it was the first game I played after Super Mario Bros 3 to get near that same level of creative fun atmosphere in the gameplay and design.
