About Yoshi

Yoshi is a puzzle and strategy game released on December 14, 1991. It is a side view game built around the Yoshi character and set in a fantasy theme, and it supports both single player and multiplayer modes. Game Freak developed the title, with Nintendo and Playtronic as publishers. It is part of the Super Mario series and the wider Mario and Yoshi franchises.

The game has been released on the Family Computer and Nintendo Entertainment System, and later versions arrived on the Wii, Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS. It carries an ESRB E rating for Everyone and a PEGI 3 rating.

Players work through falling pieces on a playfield, arranging enemies from the Mario world so that matching ones can be cleared. The design draws on the falling-block style of Tetris, and the puzzle focus gives it a different feel from the platforming games in the Mario line.
