Yoshi's Cookie

After Yoshi’s debut in Super Mario World and his rampant subsequent popularity, he would receive a handful of puzzle games under his name before seeing a full spinoff series of his own. The most popular of these was Yoshi’s Cookie, a Tetris/Dr. Mario style block game.

Unlike some of our other puzzle games, this won’t perfectly recreate the puzzle setting, but will instead heavily focus on the cookies in question, with the three different types perpetually falling from the sky and grouping up to form platforms for the fighters to stand on.

16. Kamek (Revision)
17. Shy Guy (Revision)
18. Ukiki (Revision)
19. Wiggler

We finally get to Yoshi, the star of the show! He appeared in all of the games this time around, obviously, although some definitely felt more like Mario games than Yoshi games. In Yoshi, he really just hatches from the eggs you form. In Yoshi's Cookie, he mostly appears in cutscenes playing with balls of dough. In Yoshi's Safari, Mario rides him across set tracks. In Tetris Attack, he is one of the many characters appearing along the side that you are "supposedly" playing as. Yoshi's Topsy-Turvy and Yoshi Touch & Go he plays a bit more normally, although it is more or less the general Yoshi moveset.

Here's his moveset!

Standard B: Egg Lay

Side B: Egg Shot

Up B: Helicopter

Down B: Ground Pound

Final Smash: Yoshi Herd

Entrance: He hatches from an egg.

Taunts: That cute little dance he does when he completes a level would be a pretty good one. Honestly, a lot of his cute movements and behaviors would work. The same goes for his new games. Cute is definitely a good descriptor here.

Next up: Let's take care of Baby Mario!

Today, let's cover Bowser a bit. He appears several times actually in this round of games, appearing as an alt baker in Yoshi's Cookie, and the main villain in Yoshi's Safari, Tetris Attack, and Yoshi's Topsy-Turvy. Across all of these games, he is seen piloting a giant mech, stomping, throwing shells, breathing fire, casting spells, and dropping enemies to attack you. Plus all the basic Tetris Attack stuff. Not much new, just your standard Bowser really.

Let's see what we've got:

Standard B: Fire Breath

Side B: Boulders

Up B: Shell Spin

Down B: Slam Down

Final Smash: Giant Bowser

Entrance: Bowser will land in his Koopa Klown Kar.

Taunts: His evil laugh from Super Mario 64, many of his taunts from Odyssey and other games, holding up a captive something or other, the list goes on.

Next up: Let's cover the Koopalings!

Character Sheet: Princess Peach (Yoshi Miscellaneous)

PRINCESS PEACH

Today, let's begin our last round of Yoshi games with the character updates. It will be almost all revisions this time, but it shouldn't be too many. Here we go:

1. Mario (Revision)
2. Princess Peach (Revision)
3. Bowser (Revision)
4. The Koopalings (Revision)

15. Baby Bowser (Revision)
16. Kamek (Revision)
17. Shy Guy (Revision)
18. Ukiki (Revision)
19. Wiggler

Today's going to be an easy one. Basically, Princess Peach is an alternate for Mario in Yoshi's Cookie, and acts as an NPC in Yoshi's Safari. Hit the "That was easy" button.

Here is her moveset:

Standard B: Toadsworth

Side B: Parasol Smack

Up B: Parasol

Down B: Vegetable

Final Smash: Music Box

Entrance: She floats down from the sky on her parasol.

Taunts: Her kiss of Mario at the end of many games could be one, a lot of her small movements throughout her cutscenes perhaps, some of her victory screens from Super Mario 3D World maybe.

Next up: It's Bowser time.

Character Sheet: Mario (Yoshi Miscellaneous)

MARIO

Today, let's begin our last round of Yoshi games with the character updates. It will be almost all revisions this time, but it shouldn't be too many. Here we go:

2. Princess Peach (Revision)

15. Baby Bowser (Revision)
16. Kamek (Revision)
17. Shy Guy (Revision)
18. Ukiki (Revision)
19. Wiggler

Not much to say for Mario here. Everything he did was mostly in conjunction with the games he appeared in. He held and switched around the plates in Yoshi, pumped the lever and played with dough in Yoshi's Cookie, and shot down enemies with a Super Scope in Yoshi's Safari, none of which is inherently unique to Mario himself.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Fireball

Side B: Cape

Up B: Item Box

Down B: Mario Tornado

Final Smash: Mega Mushroom

Entrance: Pops up from a warp pipe.

Taunts: Still okay with his various Smash taunts as most of them are reflected in game.

Next up, let's cover Princess Peach real quick!

Yoshi's Cookie

YOSHI'S COOKIE

Yoshi's Cookie is yet another puzzle game for the NES with Yoshi's name slapped across it. Basically you have five different kinds of cookies falling from the ceiling, and you have to switch around those already there to match up with the falling ones. Once they're all lined up, they'll go away. Mario, Peach, or Bowser will be off to the side in baker's gear, moving switches as you play, but won't really do anything, and Yoshi and Mario play with big balls of dough in little cutscenes. That's pretty much it.

Anyhoo, here's what we've got so far:

Characters:
Mario: hold and switch around plates, pump switches, play with dough
Yoshi: hatch from egg, play with dough
Peach: pump switches
Bowser: pump switches
Goomba
Piranha Plant
Boo
Blooper

Stages:
A stage based on the game, with switching platforms and falling eggs?
This probably helped inspire Cookie Land-type stages that came later, so . . . that?

Items:
Yoshi Eggs
Ball of Dough
Cookies

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's cover Tetris Attack!
