The story features Yoshi traveling across the new island to rescue Baby Luigi and return the island to the Yoshi's. After fighting Bowser from the future and rescuing Luigi, it is revealed that Mr. Pipe is actually Mario, who traveled back to the past to help Yoshi.
Gameplay
Yoshi's New Island is very similar to the platforming of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island with a few twists. Yoshi can also transform into old transformations such as the helicopter and new ones such as the bobsled or the jackhammer.
