Game Description

Return to Yoshi's Island for an all new adventure that's bigger and better the second time around. After a mysterious floating island appears over Yoshi's home, a group of schoolchildren disappears. Yoshi, with help from some friends, must rescue the kids and figure out the mystery behind the floating island.

You've also got more sidekicks to help along the way, with Baby Mario joined by Baby Peach and Baby Donkey Kong as the kids who hop on Yoshi's back to give him special powers.
