Yoshi’s Island for the Super Nintendo is perhaps the greatest platformer of all time. Hopefully Yoshi’s Island 2 will be just as great, but what is so special about the boxart? It may reveal a few new pieces of information regarding the game. Notice that Baby Wario, holding a magnet, and Baby Donkey Kong are also on the packaging. Are these characters also playable? Will Wario be able to use the magnet to collect coins, even red coins? And there is a Nintendo Wi-Fi logo in the top left corner. Are we going to see some more mini-games or a cooperative mode? Hopefully we will find out very soon.

Just for the record, Yoshi's Island RAWKS ME SAWKS. I'm sooo looking forward to 2, and the two-screen thing looks incredibly sexy.. gorgeous…I hope all of the characters on the cover are playable. What's cool about the YI series is that it ties the whole Mario universe together.
Kinda looks like it may be similar to Super Mario Bros. 2 where you had your choice of several playable characters, each with thier own unique abilities. Like maybe Peach can float longer using her umberella, Bowser can throw fireballs, etc.I loved Yoshi's Island 1, this looks cool too.
I think we always knew DK was playable… Wario and Bowser are news to me.
I can´t express my enthusiasm for this game… Can´t wait!!!
