Reviewers praised the art, sound, level design, and gameplay, and posited Yoshi’s Island as a masterpiece and one of the best platformers of all time. Yoshi’s Island received “instant” and “universal acclaim”, according to IGN and review aggregator Metacritic, and sold over four million copies. This version was ported to the Wii U Virtual Console in 2014 and, as a promotional exclusive, to the Nintendo 3DS in 2011. The game was rereleased for the Game Boy Advance with few changes in 2002. Some of its special effects were powered by a new Super FX2 microchip. After four years of development, Yoshi’s Island released in Japan in August 1995, and worldwide two months later.
The game’s hand-drawn aesthetic-a style new to the series-descends from producer and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto’s distaste for the computer pre-rendered graphics of the game’s contemporary Donkey Kong Country.
