Baby Mario wails on Yoshi's back, and the whole world looks drawn in colored pencil.

When the community picks on gut instinct, with no criterion, Yoshi's Island lands ahead of just over half the games. Honest, nothing more. People are fond of it, its attachment score sits ahead of nearly two thirds of all titles, and they would happily bring it to a desert island. But the moment you talk controller in hand, it all collapses: the sheer feel of play drops to the very bottom, ahead of barely 7% of the rest. Immediate fun and the urge to rediscover it follow, low too. Careful though, these verdicts rest on few votes, still to confirm.

This is a classic case of an older game measured with today's questions. The art, on the other hand, still holds, ahead of nearly six games out of ten, no surprise for a title that invented its own hand-painted look. It's raw emotion and modern snappiness that stall.

So, who's it for? For you if you cherish that soft aesthetic and a companion you remember. Much less if you're after a controller-in-hand jolt, that's not what the community remembers here.
