Boss: Iggy Koopa
Featured Level:
Yoshi’s Island 2
Yoshi’s Island 2 serves as a straightforward introductory level, showcasing both new and familiar aspects of the series. Eight Koopa Troopas are lined up at the beginning of the stage, and Mario can use his new ability to grab and hold items to pick up an abandoned Red Shell and wreak havoc on the unsuspecting octuplet. This mechanic is then immediately subverted with a lone shell and a shell-less Koopa who jumps inside it if Mario’s not fast enough, likely damaging over-eager first-time players.
