Yoshi’s Story is one of those N64 games that feels like playing through a pop-up book—everything’s bright, papery, and weirdly adorable. You pick a Yoshi (I always go for the pink one) and munch your way through levels full of fruit, hidden paths, and those little guys who turn into platforms when you ground-pound them. The whole thing’s got this laid-back vibe where you can take your time exploring instead of racing against the clock.

It’s not the hardest platformer out there, but that’s kind of the point. The music’s cheerful, the art style holds up surprisingly well, and there’s something satisfying about filling Yoshi’s belly to unlock new stages. If you’re into slower-paced, charm-heavy games, this one’s a cozy pick. Just don’t expect Super Mario 64-level precision—it’s more about the vibes than the challenge.
