A platform side-scrolling game with additional adventure elements, created and published by the Nintendo company. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book allows us to control the titular character. Yoshi explores the worlds of the talking book, obtaining and using unique skills of the creatures living there.
Yoshi is one of the characters from the Super Mario universe, who over time received their own series. The first game dedicated to him was launched in 1995 and it was titled Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. It debuted on GameBoy Advance years later as Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island. The game described here, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, is the eighth title under this brand, realized in the form of a classic platformer.
In Yoshi and the Mysterious Book we watch the events from the side.
During the game, we take on the role of the titular hero. A mysterious, talking book introducing itself as Mr. E shows up in Yoshi's world. Its pages contain information about extraordinary creatures, as well as portals that allow us to jump into the lands inhabited by them. Yoshi decides to make use of these passages and help in the investigation, examining these creatures.
The adventure leads us through various locations, which we explore by jumping on platforms, avoiding traps and bypassing terrain obstacles, as well as dealing with encountered problems. For this purpose, we utilize the unique abilities of the creatures we study. For example, some of them can make the flowers found along the way bloom, while others can soften the rocks blocking our path.
