Review: Yoshi Touch & Go

Yoshi Touch & Go just might wear down your stylus before it's through with you.

With Yoshi and Baby Mario as its stars, Yoshi Touch & Go looks like cute, cuddly, and safe bit of fluff. But it turns out to be a semi-tough platform style game where you draw the platforms.

This challenging game organized into vertical and horizontal levels makes excellent use of the DS dual-screen format. The verticals have Baby Mario floating down attached to balloons. You swipe the stylus with pinpoint accuracy to paint a path of cloud puffs that will protect Baby from spikes and flying foes. Make it down, and you ride Yoshi piggyback across the horizontal challenge, filled with cliffs, pits, and roving gangs of Marioesque bad guys. This time the puffs enable Yoshi to scramble across chasms or race up to the sky. Tap him with the stylus to make him jump or tap an enemy and he'll spit an egg at him.

Touch this Yoshi adventure and you probably won't want to let go.
