This game also starts off with the same letter and voice from Peach, with an updated sprite. Lakitu films the castle grounds, and we notice Yoshi taking a nap on the roof of the castle, audibly snoring. There are very few changes to the castle grounds from the N64 version. A large green pipe appears and Mario jumps out of it. Soon after, two more pipes appear and Luigi and Wario jump out of them. Mario says "Let's a go!" and the three run into each other. They then run towards the castle.
Lakitu points his camera at Yoshi, who is now lying on the ground where the warp pipes were. Lakitu says "Yoshi, Yoshi..." Lakitu pops Yoshi's bubble, which wakes him up. "Listen...Mario hasn't returned yet.
We now control Yoshi. Yoshi walks up to the castle door and tries to open it, but gets a message with Bowser's laugh: You need a key to open this door. Lakitu appears, saying "Uh-oh. Looks like the doors are locked, huh? Hmmm. I just saw a rabbit taking off with a key in his mouth." A key icon appears on the Touch Screen, which displays a map of the castle gound. "Why don't you look for him on the Touch Screen map, Yoshi?
I track the rabbit down near the hedges. He starts hopping away, but Yoshi sticks out his toungue and grabs him. The rabbit, in Yoshi's mouth, says "Aaaaargh! No, don't eat me! ALL I did was tease you a little. C'mon, let me go." The Rabbit music plays. Yoshi spits him out and the rabbit says "Aiyeeeee! I thought it was the end for little orld me... My entire life flashed before my eyes. Talk about scary! Anyway, here, take the key. It's just slowing me down."
He gives us the key, giving us the message: You've retrieved the key to the castle from the rabbit! now you're ready to go inside the castle. Mario and his buddies went to the castle ages ago, and they still haven't returned. Save now? (Save and continue, or Continue, don't save) Yoshi poses with the key.
Yoshi walks back to the castle and unlocks the door. Once inside, he gets the same message that Mario did in the N64 version.
Toad says "Thank heavens you came too, Yoshi! Bowser has locked Princess Toadstool and all of us inside the walls. He stole our Power Stars and is using their magic to create an evil land of monsters in the castle walls and paintings. Mario and his buddies went to retrieve the Stars, but they haven't come back. Last I saw them, they were heading to the room on the left with the painting of the Bob-ombs. Where are they?! Are they taking a nap somewhere? So now it's up to you, Yoshi, to find them and retrieve the Stars! We all are depending on you!
This game is very similar to, but not an exact replica of Super Mario 64. Several of the missions are the same, but some are completely new. If the missions are from the N64 version, they will be included in the same post. If they are unique to either version, they will appear in their own posts. I will be comparing both versions. These are great games and I'm sure I will enjoy them both.
