DC Live: Yoshi’s Island, part 4
We left off last time having just broken into World 5. With how large the levels are getting, it seems like it just finishing World 5 would be a reasonable goal for tonight. Hopefully we can pick up a few more first-try 100% ratings along the way to make our job of unlocking the bonus stages easier. I know we usually do a final boss struggle bus, but that part is probably going to be far more time efficient.
For a long time, Yoshi’s Island had been a bit of a white whale for my shopping. While it was already out when I first owned a SNES, it would be years afterward before I finally got my hands on a copy. Heck, I think I already had a PlayStation 2 before it happened.
But, as happens often with the games I bought well out of sequence, I took it for a test drive, then got distracted from finishing it off. I actually have a couple of backlogged 2D Mario games I want to tackle before taking on Wonder, so that effort starts here in a thematically nice parallel to my offline catching up on Zelda games.
If you’re still mourning the end of my Super Mario Maker streams, join us on the blog’s Twitch channel at 8 Eastern.
At some point, a recording of this stream will be up on Damage Control’s YouTube channel and embedded below.
