Yoshi's Safari

"One of my all-time favorite games..."

Wow. This is a very fun game. It is shocking about how few know about it. Virtually the only Mario game to have the light gun, this probably the best game that uses the light gun. For those who don't know what the light gun is, it's the Super Scope in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Actually that's what it's called. This game can entertain you for a long time. It's all about the Team-Work.

Graphics- The graphics are just awesome. The envireoments look great. The enemies look great. Yoshi looks great. The bosses look great. The only thing that isn't great is the bazooka fire. It's just blue orbs. But it's not anything that will make the game look bad. Trust me the game looks sharp. I really can't anything real bad about the graphics.

Sound- Also wonderful. All the various sounds are cute and make the game seem more alive. All the guys being hit, the sound of the ''time to jump'' warning, and so on all sound good. The music is very pleasant to listen to. It all gives the game a good feel of ''Wow! This game is cool!''.

Gameplay- Very Very Fun. The game is constantly moving. It's one or two players. One person controls Yoshi while the other controls the gun. The story is Bowser is up to no good again so you have to shoot him instead of usual methods. So you grab a gun, mount Yoshi, then go off. The Gunner must shoot the enemies and the projectiles. Yoshi must steer and jump. You have a life bar, and you lose health as you get hurt. There are many levels. You face a variety of enemies and bosses, all which have there weaknesses. The game is very challenging. Also has a great replay value. I beat the game around 7 times and still I'm still not tired of it. You can't save, you also don't get passwords, so you have to do the whole game in one run. You do get lives and continues. It takes anywhere from 2-5 hours to beat. When you're done you're like ''*Phew* Wow, that was pretty fun, now I'm hungry!''. But if you get hungry sooner, you can pause the game too.

In conclusion, this game has got it going on. I swear for the $5 you spend on it, you'll get your money's worth. It's one of those games where you pull it out and go ''Hey I haven't played this in a while'' then play it for a few hours and go ''Cool''. So with very little flaw, I give Yoshi Safari for Super Nintendo Entertainment System a 9/10.
