Riding Yoshi allows the player to utilize his voracious appetite to consume enemies and access new areas across Dinosaur Land. Navigating a non-linear world map, players explore 96 levels to rescue dinosaurs and face Bowser. An expanded movement arsenal and new power-ups assist in overcoming traps and reaching various castles throughout the adventure.
