Development
Yoshi's Island DS was announced at E3 2006 under the name Yoshi's Island 2, originally featuring only baby versions of Mario, Peach, and DK. The developer, Artoon, has made one other Yoshi game — Yoshi's Universal Gravitation — for the GBA. Universal Gravitation veered away from the "Nintendo" design; but for DS, Artoon stuck close to the original concept.
The game retains the classic pastel / crayon visuals from its predecessor. Small changes are noticeable — water animation has been improved, the black outlines around objects are not as thick and the backgrounds are less cluttered; but the visuals are still tightly-centered on those of the Super NES game.

And I am one of those subordinate characters that only turn up when needed for the development of her destiny, and whose final appearance is outside the church, waiting to greet the Happy Pair!””
