#yoshi's island

[suppermariobroth]

Top: official art for Yoshi's Island shows the various Yoshis with differently-colored shoes, similar to their later portrayals in the series.

Middle: however, in-game, all the Yoshis' shoes are barely distinguishable (yet still marginally different) shades of red.

Bottom: strangely, the Yoshis all have differently-colored shoes in the game's intro only, which then go away when actually playing as them. As these shoe colors resemble the official art, it is clear that this is how the Yoshis were intended to look, but it is unknown what exact technical reasons were behind the developers not being able to implement that during gameplay.

A Curious Yoshi - This came out so much more relaxing than I expected it to be.

Meet Melon's pack! As the story of Melon's Adventure progresses, we will eventually see some, if not all, of these yoshi buddies, so what better way to introduce them than to show off their looks? :)

In order of appearance (in the full lineup image), we have:

Bread (brown yoshi): A very sweet yoshi with a love for bread. Interestingly, yoshis don't really cook... or bake. So where exactly does he get his baked goodness?

Butter (yellow yoshi): Bread's twin sister. She's feisty and fast, and has an odd love for butter. She's willing to eat it by itself, much to her brother's chagrin.

Coconut (blue yoshi): An inquisitive yoshi with a love for coconuts! He spends most of his time exploring the beaches of the island, sniffing for his favorite treat and for any treasures he can take home.

Chili (red yoshi): A large yoshi with a hot temper, and even hotter tastes; they love spicy foods, but especially chili peppers! They're quick to frustrate and is sometimes overly strict, but is fiercely loyal and protective of their packmates. They take their role as protector very seriously, and is often the one to join Fig on her patrols.

Potato (purple yoshi): A large, chomky yoshi with a love for potatoes! She love to eat and is always hungry, but is also very generous; when they forage for food she makes it a point to try and find every tasty morsel she can for her packmates. No one goes hungry on her watch!

Pitaya (pink yoshi): The smallest yoshi in the pack, Pitaya is a little lazy and prefers taking naps under the warm sun over any of the chores his packmates task themselves with. Still, he has the strongest nose in the pack, making him their best tracker. His favorite snack is Dragon Fruit!

Melon (green yoshi): The main character of the story and the leader of the pack! Melon is adventurous, kind, and curious; he isn't afraid to venture into the more dangerous parts of the island if it means mapping out safe paths for his pack. In fact, that was what he was doing when Mario landed on his head. His favorite snack is watermelons!

Fig (black yoshi): The largest, strongest yoshi of the pack, Fig is Melon's trusted second-in-command. Her scars are a testament to the fights she's fought for the safety of the others, and she always came out on top, even if it came with a price. She has a permanent limp and is also the oldest of the pack; in fact she was the leader before she passed the status to Melon. Her favorite snack are figs!

In Yoshi's Island, the Raphael the Raven boss battle uses the Super FX chip to rotate the battlefield. On an emulator or later official rereleases of the game that support a 1:1 perfect pixel ratio, the game is displayed in an 8:7 aspect ratio, whereby the moon in the middle is perfectly circular.

However, when playing the SNES release on original hardware, the output is stretched to a 4:3 aspect ratio. This causes the moon to become stretched horizontally in relation to the screen, however, as the screen keeps rotating, the moon keeps being stretched along a different axis in relation to the scene.

The above animation stabilizes footage of the battle to get rid of the screen rotation, making the different deformations of the moon readily apparent. Note that every element of the screen is deformed in some way due to the rotation; the moon is merely the most visible.
