In fact, this score is more snappy than cute. It keeps the saccharine feeling to a mild level, which allows this score to be more enjoyable than its sequel was. ![]() The score occasionally screams treacliness (in tracks like "Story Music Box"), but it is not completely overdone, unlike its semi-disappointing N64 sequel, "Yoshi's Story". The music here has a typical Mario-esque feeling (although the classic theme is not used), but in a youthful, innocent schtick to keep the Mario universe afloat, while inviting us to join in with the whimsical world of the Yoshis. Super Mario Yoshi Island (Yoshi's Island, to us Americans) continues the legendary trend of his previous works. From playing many Nintendo games featuring music from Koji Kondo, I have the hunch that he knows how to make fun scores.
