Story[]

One day in the sunny land of the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi, decide to all take a break from adventuring and take a vacation. They take a plane to the peaceful Koop-Koop Island, until they notice Bowser's Airship destroying the land, before the Koopalings - now sporting custom Koopa Clown Cars - shoot the plane down, as it lands in Rosy Plains.

Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi see that Bowser is trying to capture the Koop-Koop Island for the Koopa Kingdom, and has trapped the wildlife in bottles! So the 4 set out on another journey to defeat Bowser and restore Koop-Koop Island.

Gameplay[]

Super Mario's Island! plays like a classic Mario title, similar to the likes of New Super Mario Bros., is a side-scrolling platformer. You can choose from 4 characters, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi. Mario plays exactly like his previous genres, as does Lugi - with a large jump but slippery controls. Peach performs similarly to Super Mario Bros. 2, in which she has a low jump, but can float in one line. Yoshi can use his tongue to eat enemies and flutter jump, but to keep him from being too biased, can no longer jump on enemies - since he is no longer rideable. Other characters can be unlocked. It also has a more pick up objects and throw them feel, like SMB2. You still jump on enemies to attack them, however, turnips and such can be found everywhere, and these can be used to attack enemies or do puzzles. Shy Guys even return, with their movements spiced up.

Mushis[]

A new prime feature are the Mushis. With Yoshi now as a playable character, Mushis can be found trapped in bottles out of Question Mark Blocks. These creatures have been trapped by Bowser, and picking them up and throwing them, will free a Mushi. Mushis can be rode by anybody (even Yoshi), they are slightly larger than normal Yoshis, so they move bulkier and slower. However, if a Mushi jumps off a ledge, it can glide. A small flutter jump can be obtained with it, but it's nowhere as good as Yoshis. Mushis can eat fruit, however, cannot eat enemies. Instead the Mushis can breath green fire to roast an enemy. Burning certain enemies will cause an effect to happen. For example: burning a red Koopa Troopa will cause the shell to burst into flames.

Different colored Mushis can be found on rare occasions, their main color being Purple, but uniquely, each different colored Mushi has a special feature. A light blue Mushi can flutter jump and walk on water, a Green Mushi can eat enemies, a White Mushi can fly for a few seconds, and an Orange Mushi can curl into it's bigger shell, and launch itself.
