They display a few habits previously unseen in other 2D Mario games. They aimlessly walk in one direction, but.
The Japanese packaging uses a vertical design, which is pretty normal for a Japanese Super NES game. As for the artwork, the Japanese version has more of a laid-back feel, while the U.S. Box features Yoshi and Baby Mario rushing towards a Nep-Enut. Yoshi is a character from the Super Mario series. He is a friendly green dragon with an extended tongue. In the past, Yoshi has helped the Mario Bros. Rescue Princess Peach.

Hint: World 3-1: Hidden area
There is a location in the water in World 3-1 where you can go beneath a land mass to access a hidden area, by jumping off of a giant spring arrow. If you curve to the side and go above the normal hidden entrance, you should enter an area where you will be falling towards nothing. Keep going right (stay in the air as long as possible) until you reach the edge. You will be teleported to World 1-1 (and gain credit toward World 3-1) where you can gain more red coins and hearts than the maximum.

The shell will bounce between the two pipes, knocking out the Shy-Guys. As soon as ten Shy-Guys are knocked out, you will start getting a 1-Up for each consecutive Shy-Guy. The shell will keep bouncing around, killing the Shy-Guys that pop out. You can get up to 999 lives this way.
Hint: World 4-8: Defeating the monstrous Koopa:

Hint: Naval Piranha's Lair: Full stars:
After you go underground in the pipes with water in them, you will reach a place where you hit the arrows with eggs, and you can get the stuff above the water. One of the info blocks always gives you two stars whenever you hit it with an egg. Since there is an egg block near by, you can do this until you have 30 Stars.
Hint: Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy: Unlimited lives:
Grab a Melon Bug (the creature that rolls up into a ball) and go to the pipe with Shy Guys jumping out of it. Spit the Melon Bug close to the pipe on the left-hand side. When Shy Guys jump out, after a while you will get a '1-Up' for each time a Shy Guy hits the Melon Bug when it is in its melon form.
Hint: Welcome To Cloud World: Followed by eggs:
In this level or any other that has a large fat creature with many following behind it, Ground Pound the large one and the baby ones will follow you as eggs. When you throw one, it will loop and come back to you.
Glitch: Yoshi does flips:
When you find an enemy that you cannot defeat by jumping on them, repeatedly Ground Pound them. It will look as if Yoshi is doing flips on the enemy. Note:You must do this very fast.
In World 1-11, 'Poochy Ain't Stupid', you can have Poochy free roaming without the scrolling course. At the start of the level, keep jumping on Bats without hitting the 'scrolling course barrier' until you get on top of the wall to the wall that is to the left of you at the start of the level. Once on top, jump and keep doing Yoshi's 'flutter' or 'floating' move until you reach what appears to be an island. Land on it. Then, jump off to the right, fluttering until you reach an island surrounded by lava. Poochy should see you and run over. You now can go through the entire course without the scrolling course freely. The only drawback is if you go under the 'island' (second wall), you will hit the 'scrolling course barrier', then must ride Poochy to the end of the course.

(3) THE STORY
This story happened a long long time ago...
This is a story about a baby and Yoshi...
A stork hurries across the dusky, pre-dawn sky. In his bill, he
supports a pair of twins who are to be delivered to their parents as
soon as possible.
Suddenly, something appears between the clouds and races towards the
stork with blinding speed!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(4)
“SSCCRREEEEECH!!!”, it screams. “These babies are mine!”
Snatching only one baby, the creature vanishes into the darkness from
whence it came.
Oh no! The second baby falls undetected towards the open sea...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(5)
The kidnapper is Kamek, an evil Magikoopa from the Koopa Kingdom.
Having divined last night that twin babies born this morning will bring
disaster to the Koopa family, he arranged for an early morning ambush.
Returning to his castle, Kamek realizes that he missed the other baby.
He orders his toadies.
“Go forth and find the other baby!! Don’t let his parents get him
back! Ever!!”
Meanwhile, the second baby does not fall into the sea after all...it
lands safely on Yoshi’s back! And right after him drops a map!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(6)
This paradise is Yoshi’s Island. And on this island lives lots of
different Yoshies. These Yoshies are naturally laid back and relaxed,
but this is a calamity and everyone is in a state of panic. As the
Yoshies frantically yell over each other, the baby insistently points
at something.
Yes! The baby can sense the other baby’s location. All the Yoshies
quickly agree to help carry the baby to its destination by using a
relay system not unlike the old pony express.
The Green Yoshi draws first honors.
