Weird projection about your mom there anon, but I went in expecting this game to be babby-easy and turns out that while story mode only has 6 levels, you also only get 6 lives (or 6 yoshi) and game over is permanent, no continue.
Not to mention when you start unlocking levels, like the one I posted in the OP, they're far harder than the ones you start with initially.
I guess most people never got to unlock the other levels, though.

Getting all 4 flowers in every stage, or doing an all-melin challenge is where this game really shows its true difficulty.l, and its Yoshi's Island roots.
If you just do stage 1 of every map, it can give you a challenge at times, but nothing too hard that a even child couldn't overcome, it's pretty breezy even.
You get out of Yoshi's Story what you put into it.

Just shoot an egg at it, right? Or do you gotta jump it? This game is easy as fuck to me. You can flutter jump that plant easily the “second jump” is huge in this game. I did beat it when I was like 8 and got all the levels and the two secret yoshis. I bust it out and play a level every so often. I think its pretty easy. Like that guy said not crazy easy but pretty easy. Like you have to go for all melons and all hearts etc. to make it have any challenge and then its still not much. Not that it means anything if you like it you like it. But to me its no yoshi’s island, or even close. Graphics are interesting but I liked Yoshis Islands better. Sniffing is dumb. It felt kiddy to me even as a kid. I was more into cartoons like looney toons, spongebob etc. which kinda felt like mario or sonic whereas this felt more like elmo or teletubbies if that makes sense. Aiming the eggs is better than in yoshis island, there I said something nice about it. Tounge aim too. I hate yoshis voice. That weird warp guy with a number on his belly was creepy. I liked the bosses. I remember surfing on a leaf (maybe in a level called poochy and nippy) being the hardest part, as in it took a few tries. I’ve died before in the game but probably not more than once a level or twice because of a dumb mistake. I compare the hard parts to the secret levels in DKC 2 or the last world of SMB3 or the special worlds in SMW or YI and its a piece of cake. SMB Lost Levels is what Id call a touch platformer. Sonic 1 is harder than this game. Megamans. The multiple paths thing is a bad design imo too it should have been 6 worlds of 4 levels each and you play each level. But the game still would have been shorter than even like smb2 or smb3 on the NES. And yeah, its easy. If you find any part of it particularly hard I would stay away from the hard parts of Mario sonic dkc or yoshis island. A platformer of similar difficulty I would say is maybe Super Mario Land, or Kirbys DL/Adventure.

Doing all hearts is not too hard, it just requires exploration, and in some cases a bit of skill but it's completely doable.
Now, all melon?... that's another story ENTIRELY, you can't claim it's not too hard.

If the retard in the gif just threw an egg he could hop over to the other side no problem. Yoshi's Story's reliance on self imposed challenges and the annoying fans insisting it's actually some hardcore masterpiece because of them is like saying doom is hard if you never shoot.

The game is easy and the devs made it easy. If you're desperate to milk such an unfun game for as much play time as possible, I can only wonder why. Why wouldn't you just play a better game? Why waste so much time with such a middling and forgettable title?

What puzzles me the most about it all is why a person like you would get so fired up about something like this, though.
OP could be referring to the whole level, not just that particular part. He also isn't saying it's some "hardcore masterpiece", just commenting on how it wasn't, after all, as easy as the reputation makes it seem, and people already commented why that happens (people only play 6 levels, etc, etc)

Point out anyone in this thread that treated YS with adoration. The thread is mostly about how it's not really as easy as the reputation says (still not some incredibly hard game either). For some reason, that makes you angry.

This has already been addressed. Doom is hard if you don't shoot. Yoshi's Story is "not as easy as the reputation says" if you only go for melons and waste your time. Why waste your time with such a mediocre game?

Now THIS is a good deflection. Shameless too, good job anon.
>Yoshi's Story is "not as easy as the reputation says" if you only go for melons and waste your time
The level in the OP is a level full of spikes that make you die instantly. It's a level that was designed around Yoshi's fluttering mechanic and it can be at least a bit challenging and definitely not "babby easy" as the reputation says. I know you never even played that level though.
>Why waste your time with such a mediocre game?
I just love how the idea of people liking this game annoys you. You know what? I never loved this game, I just liked it, but knowing there's someone like you out there, who gets actually visibly angry at people liking something, maybe I can love it too.

Still waiting for you to answer my questions anon, why are you afraid? Do you want me to to start posting archives next? Yoshi's Story fans, you got a lot to work out and I think it starts with coming to terms with the insecurity over your baby game. It's a Nintendo game, of course it's for babies. No need to pretend it's anything but. You can do challenge runs, most people won't want to because it's not a good game regardless, but a little bit of honest will go a long way to treating the pretentiousness you're suffering from.

There's nothing wrong with games being from Nintendo or for babies anon. Yoshi's Story is both, but it's also not a good game, even with self-imposed challenge runs.

I feel Yoshi's Story would be improved if you actually had to reach the end of a level in order to beat it. Make it so getting 30 fruit gives you a key to unlock the end of level door or something. I don't like the fact that being good at the game entails seeing less of it.

Yoshi's Story was the first game I genuinely felt let down by. There had been many "Oh, this is shit" moments with worse games in the past, and Yoshi's Island is still a passable game, but I'd fucked up and let SMW2 built such a high expectation for YI. I still played it for a bit because it was one of the many gifts my friends got during a stacked Christmas, and we all traded around.

The thing is the levels take a really long time if you're planning to do a melon run. Extending the play length also increases the odds of dying. Dying by accident after spending 9 minutes on a level can be extremely frustrating. So, yes, Yoshi's Story is a very challenging scavenger hunt.

it was made literally as a counter-act/contrast of DKC's pre-rendered graphics that everyone loved. no, this isn't a joke. shigeru miyamoto exclusively shit on this game simply because dkc was still doing as well. to contrast the beauty of country, thinking that graphics worked as a gimmick more or less to entrance people and that they would play anything, yoshis story became just that. purposely drawn like a childish book. but keep in mind when you force or intend something out of harbored stagnancy it will often come out in its vengeful true form, and as such you get the oddities of this mark hamill moon. maybe if shigeru let the team continue with the same style present in SMW2 yoshis story wouldnt have such poor reception despite being one of the consoles most well known games, its not exactly 'good'.

Hi, Steven L. Kent. Your miyamoto quote is fake.
Yoshi's Story had little involvement by Miyamoto, if any at all other than maybe be thrown in credited as exec producer or advisor. He was busy working on OOT along with Aonuma while Story was being developed.
The art style in Story is totally different from that of the DKC games too, although there are some similarities due to pre-rendered graphics, DKC goes for a more realistic approach, while Story goes for fabric/cardboard textures. What made Story get lukewarm reception in the west was:
1. People weren't interested in 2D games in 1998. First and foremost.
2. the baby yoshi are too cute for the west
3. the way progression works in this game fools people into believing the game only has 6 levels.
It's a beloved game in Japan, though.

How? "Super Donkey" isn't even a Donkey Kong game.
Also, I'd say the discovery of Super Donkey confirms the quote was fake even more: the supposed conspiracy theory was that Yoshi's Island started as a pre-rendered graphics game, but then Miyamoto wanted to change the style because he was mad or whatever fiction. In the end, nah, the art style was there from the beginning.
The quote was proven to be fake, an archivist actually found the copy of EGM where the quote allegedly was, and he confirmed that there was no such quote: Steven L. Kent made it up just to make his book more interesting, as journalists usually do. Kent is also a fiction writer, so it isn't too strange that he likes to make up stuff in his non-fiction stuff.
The whole thing really ended when Miyamoto finally spoke about it, laughing it off saying he actually worked closely with Rare and advised them a ton on DKC. Miaymoto also appears in the credits of the game.
The whole thing never made sense. It's funny as a shitpost or two, but at this point I think it's time to move on, it was never real and was confirmed by multiple sources.

The theory as I understood it was that Yoshi's Island was initially presented with conventional Mario-type graphics, rejected for looking unimpressive compared to Donkey Kong Country, then re-tooled into the lush hand-drawn style in response. The Super Donkey demo seems to align with this version of events, even if it doesn't confirm them (let alone lend credence to the alleged trash-talking).

The visual design of Super Donkey is not identical to that of Yoshi's Island. Despite some reused assets, the hand-drawn aesthetic had apparently not yet been conceived, and the game looks more like a standard sequel to Super Mario World.

Also, while we cannot say for sure, I think it's highly probable that Super Donkey was going to be a Donkey Kong game at some point in development.

I get that imagining the whole hypothetical scenario is funny or whatever, but at the end of the day, again, Shiggers worked close with Rare for DKC.
If you want to keep perpetuating the narrative, that's okay, just don't act surprised when people bring up the actual facts, which as time goes on are more and more against Kent's narrative.

In fact, I just looked it up, and it's not even a "theory" that Yoshi's Island was overhauled visually in response to Donkey Kong Country (which you can literally see for yourself if you compare it to Super Donkey).

Which one is yours, the funny greentext story, or the one about Super Donkey's graphical style?
Either way, it's the same: It's Shigeru Miyamoto's word against Steven L. Kent.
So far, Kent has been proven a lier because the EGM issue didn't include the quote he claimed it did.
On the other hand, Miyamoto said he worked closely with Rare, and that was confirmed by both the Rare guys, and the fact that Miyamoto is in the game's credits.
Also, Super Donkey looks like even less of a sequel to SMW than Yoshi's Island. All the SMW-like stuff was added to Yoshi's Island. Super Donkey could be a DK game, we can't know for sure. I know that there's people thinking the main character could be stanley, and the monkeys could be considered DK or DK's family... yeah, who knows. The thing is, I don't see any reason for Miyamoto to be mad at Rare, and evidence shows he wasn't. Again, I get it, it's "funny", but it isn't real.
It's up to you if you want to believe Kent or not, despite the evidence against him.

It's likely that Super Donkey was going to be a Donkey Kong game.
It's likely that it became a Yoshi game once Rare started developing Donkey Kong Country.
It's a fact that the visual design of Yoshi's Island was overhauled mid-development in response to Donkey Kong Country.
None of that means that Miyamoto hates Rare or Donkey Kong Country, but it offers some insight into both the development of Yoshi's Island and even as to how the rumors might have originated.

>It's likely that Super Donkey was going to be a Donkey Kong game.
I think it's possible too, although it could also be a placeholder name. There's also this unused sprite (that has been around for a while, longer than any leaks, I think this is actually unused sprites within the final game), which looks like a DK reference.
However, the way the character from Super Donkey controls is very different from Yoshi's Island, an entirely different game. Can't even be said to be a YI prototype.
>It's likely that it became a Yoshi game once Rare started developing Donkey Kong Country.
DKC stars DK though, this Super Donkey game, if it really was about DK, would have him as a villain. It would have been weird to have 2 DK games, one where he's the star, and one where he's the bad guy, BUT... then there's DK '94 on Game Boy, released also in 1994. So I don't know. Too much speculation.
>It's a fact that the visual design of Yoshi's Island was overhauled mid-development in response to Donkey Kong Country.
So far, all the Yoshi's Island beta stuff shows that it has the same visual style. Maybe it was decided during the brainstorming process, before development proper began.
>None of that means that Miyamoto hates Rare or Donkey Kong Country, but it offers some insight into both the development of Yoshi's Island and even as to how the rumors might have originated.
I can agree with that, but while all the rumour-friendly arguments are "likely", the others are facts:
It's a fact that the interview Kent was talking about didn't mention anything about Miyamoto saying anything bad about DKC, or close to it - quite the contrary.
It's a fact that Miyamoto worked closely with Rare, and got credited on the game.
It's a fact that Miyamoto himself clarified that it was a rumour, and that he likes the game.
The red tie was also Miyamoto's idea (which is why I think this unused YI sprite is a reference to DK). DK also has a red tie in DK'94.

Yoshi’s Island is often cited as having been in development for ~4 years, which would place it in mid-to-late-1991 and squares nicely with the date of the Super Donkey builds.
Furthermore, the visual style of Super Donkey is not identical to Yoshi’s Island and could not be, as Hisashi Nogami didn’t join the project (or company for that matter) until 1994 or 1995, well along into the development.

Yes, the fact Super Donkeys hares some tiles and enemies with YI makes it undeniable they're related. Not sure what Super Donkey really is though, maybe it's something they never really expected to fully develop, and was more of an intern project where they just experimented with different things, some of which eventually ended in YI.

Megaman 2’s later levels. Yoshis story is just easy af. Yes even collecting melons. No level reaches the difficulty of the games I just mentioned.
