Castle of the Big Burt Bros. is the first castle in the game Yoshi's Island DS. As such, it is the easiest castle resembling Burt The Bashful's Fort in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. The castle bosses are two Burt Brothers that have grown by Kamek's magic. The boss battle is also similar to Burt the Bashful's battle.

Layout[edit]

The second room of the level

The level starts with a straight path leading to the right, which, in a way or another, shares quite a few similarities with the beginning of Burt the Bashful's castle in the previous game. Much like in said level, Yoshi will come across two yellow Egg Blocks upon making his way right, which are supposed to be hit for egg-getting purposes. The eggs received from said blocks would then be aimed at the two question-mark buckets for coins to be eventually released from them and collected by the player. After that, Yoshi will come up to two yellow pinwheels, which will give him the ability to get some coins atop, some of which are red. By hitting the Winged Cloud in the next area, a ! Switch shall come out of it and prove itself useful for getting the first Flower in the level, protected by a post. After that, Yoshi will find nothing but a door on the far right. He will then get access to the next room by entering it, which is essentially known for the introduction of the game's spiky Ball 'N' Chain.

The second Flower in the level can be found right in the beginning of this room, on a platform floating above a two-way Ball 'N' Chain operated by Shy Guys. Additionally, an invisible Winged Cloud can be found precisely on the top right corner of the Shy Guy operational cabin, which once hit will reveal five Stars. The Flower can be reached once Yoshi reaches an area located further on the right, near the level's Middle Ring. After that, the player must go left jumping from platform to platform until they eventually reach the place. Alternatively, by going right, the player should approach a Baby MarioCharacter Coin and proceed further through the level, finding some Red Blarggs along the way and eventually reaching a line-guide pinwheel. At the end of the pinwheel ride, Yoshi will find four Red Coins, placed in a row, and the level's third Flower, which can be obtained solely by aiming an egg at the left wall for it to bounce off and eventually reach the actual item. Another door can be found on the rightmost area, which Yoshi must enter to continue his journey. Yoshi then finds himself inside a third room, where the fourth Flower can be seen being guarded by two Burt Brothers in an area accessible via Flatbed Ferry riding. On the right of such area, Yoshi will find three Egg Blocks, which may come in handy if the player wishes to defeat the Burt Brothers without performing an offensive Ground Pound move.

Going down and marching right from that point, a lava pit will be seen, which Yoshi can cross by riding the two ferries seen floating above the danger. Yoshi will eventually reach an area where a Crate can be found on the top right portion, three Winged Clouds can be seen flying in the middle portion of the top, and a couple of doors can be seen on the rightmost portion; a locked one on the bottom right corner, a regular and one that cannot be entered one on the top right corner, the last two only being accessible via diagonal stairway. The crate can be reached by riding the different ferries to get atop, and it contains the key needed to unlock the door on the bottom right corner of the room. The first two Winged Clouds blow into coins, while the last one blows into diagonal stairs, which will prove themselves useful to assist Yoshi reach the regular door on the top right corner. Upon entering said door, Yoshi will be transported to some kind of dark sewer area, which seemingly is home of a couple of Piranha Plants and Lantern Ghosts. The area lights up, however, when Yoshi manages to defeat all the enemies in the area. Additionally, the last Flower in the level can be obtained by the same method. Yoshi then returns to the area he previously was and finally unlocks the door on the bottom right corner. On the other side of it, he will find himself in a somewhat short room, where he will be able to save his progress by hitting the nearest Middle Ring and eventually march to the Boss Door, where two Burt Brothers, alongside Kamek, wait for him.

BOSSES: Big Burt Bros.[edit]

Main article: Big Burt Bros.

As Yoshi enters the boss battle room, he comes across two regular Burt Brothers, that soon will turn into gigantic beasts by the magic of Kamek as he comes up with one of his pre-boss dialogues: 'If it isn't the killjoy Yoshi! You're always trying to ruin my fun! But not this time! Burt Brothers! Crush this overgrown lizard!'

Pretty much like Burt the Bashful, these bosses are easily defeated by throwing eggs at them, no matter if they are stacked one on another or simply bouncing around on their own. Their basic attack is bouncing around the room, trying to hit Yoshi. No matter which Burt Brother Yoshi damages, his brother also shares the damage taken, so both Burt Brothers are defeated at the same time even if Yoshi throws eggs at only one Burt Brother. Another similarity to the original Burt the Bashful battle is that an egg-spitting flower can be found at the bottom of the room, spitting eggs every time Yoshi loses one, so as a result, the player never runs out of eggs. The brothers are bound to lose their pants, much like their Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island counterpart, every time they are hit, and after five hits they are finally defeated, proving to have been an easy task.

Back in 1995, I thought I knew what a Mario game was. Running left to right (or maybe down to up). Jumping on things. Eating mushrooms to get big. Flying, sometimes. You know the drill. Then Yoshi's Island came along and showed that Mario games could be about a lot more than that.

Yeah, you were still running through levels and jumping on things, but the myriad ways Yoshi's Island expanded on the Mario formula made it feel like an entirely new game. Yoshi went from an occasional helper in Super Mario World to a permanently controllable character in Yoshi's Island, tasked with protecting a near-helpless Baby Mario riding on his back. Yoshi's oversized tongue let players slurp up enemies and transform them into projectile eggs that could be fired in any direction. What used to be a run-and-jump series was now run-and-jump-and-slurp-and-shoot game, and the Yoshi's Island designers built levels that catered to these new abilities wonderfully.

But the true key to Yoshi's Island's appeal, to me, is the flutter jump. If you continue to hold the jump button after the peak of Yoshi's arc, he'll kick his feet in the air to first slow his descent and then start floating upward again, achieving a new, slightly higher peak. If you have enough elevation, you can flutter multiple times before eventually floating to the ground. This new feature added a crucial, extra bit of post-jump precision to the standard Mario jump, and allowed for a lot of platforming challenges that required mid-air direction changes or extra-long flutter leaps. It's hard to explain to someone who's never played Yoshi's Island just how right it feels to trace a series of gentle, perfect curves through the air with a well-timed executed series of flutter jumps.

Then there's the way the game looks. Mario games have always been bright and colorful, but Yoshi's Island brought a hand-drawn aesthetic that really captured the game's sense of childlike wonder. From the gentle pastel backgrounds to the stark black outlines of the primary-colored characters and enemies, there's the slightest bit of imperfect sloppiness to the visual design that evokes a grade schooler's dream world more than a pixelated game system.

A lot of people don't realize that the 2D sprites in Yoshi's Island were backed up by a version of the polygon-pushing Super FX chip—the same one that powered early 3D SNES games like Star Fox and Stunt Race FX. This allowed for massive bosses that could stretch, rotate and move with a smoothness that was unknown in games at the time, but also provide subtler effects like the way Yoshi's head compresses a little bit when he bonks it against the ceiling. The Super FX powered character animation carries a level of detail that makes the characters seem much more lively than the keyframe animation of previous Mario games.

Avoiding enemies is still important in Yoshi's Island, but getting hit one or two times usually isn't an instant death, as in previous Mario games. Instead, you can just quickly recapture the floating Baby Mario and continue on with the level. It's an important change for a game that marks a transition point of sorts from the simpler 'get to the end without dying' Mario games that came before to titles that focused more on exploration and secondary goals.

Yoshi's Island doesn't have a time limit, allowing players to search out the five giant flowers and 20 hidden red coins in each level to their heart's content. Finding these bonuses isn't necessary to beat the game, but searching out a perfect score on each level provides a great excuse to go back and really absorb all the nooks and crannies of the excellent, puzzle- and secret-filled level design. Plus, finding all the secrets on each level unlocked a series of six extra-hard bonus stages. You know a game is good when you're excited that the reward for playing well is that you get more levels to play.

Yoshi's Island Flying Question Mark 1

That's because every new level in Yoshi's Island showed more originality and imagination than the entirety of many other platform games of the day. There are enemy monkeys that spit watermelon seeds at Yoshi and try to run off with Baby Mario. There are giant, screen-filling Chain Chomps that try to chase Yoshi down (before inevitably falling and chipping a tooth on a cement block). There are items to transform Yoshi into vehicles ranging from a helicopter to a submarine. There's a spike-proof dog that serves as a barely controllable transport. There's the infamous level where Yoshi gets high (sorry, 'dizzy') by inhaling floating spores. You never know what to expect when you unlock a new level in Yoshi's Island, and that expectation of new content keeps you going at least as much as anything else.

Yoshi Island Mario

The magic of Yoshi's Island has proven hard to recapture. I'll never forget the feeling of disappointment I felt when I bought Yoshi's Story on the N64 only to realize it was a pale, simplified shadow of the game that inspired it. Years later, Yoshi's Island DS did its best to expand on the SNES classic, but everything from the controls to the level design just felt the tiniest bit off. The Game Boy Advance rerelease of the original Yoshi's Island might just be the quintessential version of the game, featuring six new unlockable stages that feel perfectly integrated into the larger whole.

The radical experimentation of Yoshi's Island holds up amazingly well even nearly two decades after its first release, and stands as a testament to how even the most well-known and beloved series can be tweaked and expanded successfully.
