The Game Over Screen and music remains one of the the most heart-wrenching moments I ever witnessed in a Nintendo game.

I love how every Yoshi's Island game is themed after some sort of art. The next one should be clay, like Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Yoshi's Story is the precursor to Nuzlockes. When a Yoshi dies in a level, they're gone forever. This game was trying to warn us about this and we didn't listen...

I've been thinking for years now that Yoshi's Story is actually lowkey a horror game and it's nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks so. So many oddly unsettling things in this game, parts of it actually used to scare me as a kid

Yoshi's Story has always given me that weird "children's nightmares" vibe in certain aspects like the game's art style, enemy uncanny designs, and, of course, the depressing game over screen. To me, it's one of the things that made the game strangely charming.

My favourite level in Yoshi's Story was Tall Tower with the lullaby music, bouncy springs and building block aesthetic. Though towards the end you have to jump across balls where you can literally get smashed on the head by a spiky mace. Who built that tower?! What's the purpose? That comic about Black Yoshi is mind boggling! Black Yoshi was always my favourite because his voice was pitched slightly lower and I found it cuter. In contracts, White Yoshi's voice was slightly higher and I loved the attention to detail they put into that game.

I always thought that when Bowser stole the Super Happy Tree, all the Yoshis died. The pre menu prologue refers to the Yoshis we play as as “the surviving eggs.” So as a child, I thought that the game was literally about genocide, and every time I died, the stakes just got higher. That’s also why I thought Yoshi’s voice changed after the game. The adult Yoshis were dead, so we were left with the baby Yoshis and their baby voices.

The fact that when the flower turns a sickly blue and the music slows down at a rather disturbing pace feels really jarring compared to the happy atmosphere Yoshi's Story has (as well as Page 2's and Page 6's showing)

The snorkle snake was so unsettling to me as a kid—it took up half the screen!! And moved creepily

Even though this game seems super chill and childish, I think this was the game that made me the most anxious about losing when I was a kid, because when you lose, it plays that sad cutscene of the Yoshis being kidnapped and locked away on the castle tower. I used to feel terrible and think it was my fault that had happened, so I used to take all the care in the world when playing Yoshis Story. Also those big fishes from the swamp level from the forest world were sooo scary to me. As I mentioned, dying is this game made me super anxious, and the fact that they can 1 hit kill you made things even worse

Boos wearing blindfolds actually negates their one weakness since looking at them won't make them shy

@empresscarrie6230

I believe the Boos have blindfolds so they don't get scared of Yoshi, as they normally cover their eyes and stay still when they see someone.

I was always disturbed by the intro, which implies that a lot of Yoshis were KILLED.

This is THE game of my childhood. I used to be obsessed with Yoshis because of this game. He's still my favorite Mario character, I always use him in most of the spin-offs till this day! But yeah, there are some aspects of this game that always scared me. Whenever a Yoshi died, I'd get up quickly to turn off the console, because I couldn't handle seeing the animation of them being taken to the bleak castle. It not only made me scared but also VERY sad, to the point of crying. Good times!

The CG renders of the enemies always unsettled me.

I'll admit it, this game scared me as a kid (age 5). Also 2 days before playing this I just learned about the concept of Hell. The first time I died was in the lava world and then seeing a Yoshi being carried to the castle, I literally screamed "AHHHHHH I KILLED YOSHI AND GOT HIM IN HELL!!!!" Never played this game since. It's been over 20 years. Planning to keep this up on Wii U vc soon tho.

Yoshi's Story is still one of my favorite games of all time, but yeah some of the design elements are unsettling, even in so-called helpful characters like the Neurons in Neuron Jungle.

This game terrified me as a kid. Always felt like I was protecting my Yoshi and then areas like the castle stage with the brutal instant death were the worst.

I think I can speak for everyone when I say that for such an allegedly "kiddy" game, Yoshi's Story has what is possibly the most disturbing and bleak Game Over screen I've ever seen. Not just in the Yoshi series, but in the ENTIRE Mario franchise.
