Yoshi’s Island DS is the direct sequel to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, an indirect follow-up to Yoshi’s Story, and chronologically the third video game in the Mario franchise. Compared to its predecessor, this game has fewer levels, remastered graphics (although still in “pen and pencil” style), new babies, and a whole new adventure. In this game, Kamek and the Toadies have kidnapped all the babies in the world. Yoshi, Baby Mario, Baby Peach, and the Stork team up and attempt to save the babies. Baby Donkey Kong and Baby Wario debut in this game. This was the first Yoshi’s Island game since the original which was released in 1995. An interquel, Yoshi’s New Island for Nintendo 3DS, was released in March 2014.
