I personally liked this soundtrack. Yes the fact that they used pretty much one track and tweaked it to different sounds is just a shame without a doubt. There's no arguing there. Still a million times better than Yoshi's Island 2. As for the game, yes it is very easy with the Special Levels giving some challenge to a degree but it isn't that much. If you liked the Yoshi's Island series, then pick this up but not at $40. I personally enjoyed the game myself.
I think the game overall was decent enough, the problem was that it is WAY too easy or at least it was easy for me. I really didn't mind the soundtrack or the level design.
Compared to this game, Yoshi's Island DS is a masterpiece. I think that Nintendo should give up on the "Yoshi's Island" franchise, as the SNES game is, I think, unbeatable. Hell, the SNES hacks of the game are thousand times better than Yoshi's Island DS and Yoshi's New Island. I urge the fans to play it. SMW2+ and SMW2+2 are both superb. Kamek's Revenge is excellent too, but I recommend playing it with savestates, as it's really really hard.
+Happytreefriendsfan3 Oh look, a fellow ROM hacker/player on the comments section of a Youtube video. That's not something you see every day. Also Yoshi's Island (the original) isn't even hard, I always found it was pretty easy. Then again though, I never bothered to the extra levels. The only one I played was the poochy one, and that level was really easy as well. I disagree with SNN's Kamek's Revenge being hard as well. But SMW2+ is absolute win though, but I haven't played SMW2+2 yet.
Never said the original was hard, it's actually really damn easy, which is the only con I have with the game really (I don't hate the voice of baby Mario, it was made annoying on purpose so that you don't want to get hit), although it's kinda nitpicking because a game doesn't have to be hard to be great. The extra levels in the game are great, it's worth unlocking them. I can't remember how hard Kamek's Revenge is as I haven't played it in a while, but I remember SMW2+ being a really great rom, with SMW2+2 being even better, feels like an improvement in every section. It's a much more refined, polished game. Doesn't mean that SMW2+ is bad though. Both games have their ups and downs, I hope you play SMW2+2 soon. Also, give SMW2+3 a try, it's probably my second favorite SMW romhack, the first being The Second Reality Project 2 Reloaded. Adding the third favorite so there's a top 3 - Mario Gives Up 1.
@Happytreefriendsfan3 Only TSRP I've ever played was the original 2004/2002 version. Never even considered playing MGU.
@KTBMedia The original TSRP is a good vanilla hack, but TSRP Reloaded is a really amazing game. It was my favorite SMW hack until TSRP 2 Reloaded came out last year. MGU is great, it has a lot of good gimmicks and great level design. I've played MGU2 too, and even though I enjoyed it I feel like it didn't hit all the right spots like MGU. Still a great hack though.
>"I think that Nintendo should just give up on the Yoshi's Island franchise." OH HI WOOLY WORLD
@The KaBlammer Wooly World wasn't released until the after after he said that. Give him a break.
@KTBMedia Yeah, I know, that sort of was the point. If they did give up, then Wooly World probably wouldn't have happened. It's a Hilarious in Hindsight moment.
@The KaBlammer I don't really see how it is. It's not like Nintendo ever said they were planning on quitting the Yoshi series, so one person saying they should drop it doesn't really make any deal out of the fact they didn't.

such a shame about the new title. This theme is good too.
IGN took a point off of this game because of the OST.. Woow.
And Nintendo is usually very well known for creating games with great and catchy soundtracks. That is seriously some bad news.
@MarioZelda128 It doesn't mean much coming from that website.
The soundtrack is genuinely bad though. This is the best song on the whole soundtrack but the majority of the songs are much worse. I have the full OST uploaded to my channel, check it out and see for yourself.
This game was not made by Nintendo, so I wouldn't say it was Nintendo's fault why the OST is so bad.
@Kissa Naattori I just realized that Arzest developed the game, not Nintendo. I can let Nintendo off this time.

This reminded me of the 3D Dot Game Heroes song you posted a while back.
I'm never buying this game. Why can't we get an actual sequel to YI and not just retreads with shit artstyle and music? This game looks even worse than YI DS. Sure most Mario games have some variations of their main themes (Bomb omb battlefield, Delfino Plaza, Gusty Garden, SMG2 Main Theme, etc), but pretty much THE ENTIRETY OF THE SOUNDTRACK!? Absolutley inexcuseable.
Yeah, I like it!
I just love that the music in Yoshi Island are so nicely calm and catchy.
Fair play, in an ocean of crap this is an actually decent song. Shame the rest of the OST is so dire.
I never thought I'd see the day where a soundtrack from Yoshi's New Island would make a "Best VGM" list.
The inhumane and god-awful title theme always makes me forget that there's a possibility that there are at least decent tracks in this game.
I played a little bit of this game, and... Uhg. The level design is linear and the animation&gameplay feels incredibly slow, compared to the tricky levels and floaty controls of Yoshi's Island DS.
The motif itself is catchy, especially when you first listen to it in Level 1-1. But its variations range from average to just weird and unsuitable. The cave and castle music should be menacing but in this gsme they're too happy. Soundtrack is definitely one of Yoshi's New Island's weakpoints. Otherwise, it's an entertaining game to play.

Didn't Kazumi Totaka direct this soundtrack? Probably explains why it sounds like an odd mishmash of Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story's styles. I still find it better than the DS game either way.

Surprised there's no stupid kazoo or whatever they used for half the soundtrack that sounds awful
@Pander8874 Really? I hear the soundtrack was really hit or miss. And so far I've only heard the terrible songs.
@popa john From my experience the soundtrack of this game was nearly unbearable. Every time you get the flower on the stage-end wheel thingy, or even just turn on the game, you're greeted by a kazoo assault. It honestly sounds like someone's taking a dump in my ears. But this song is really good.
@PsychoticRanboob Which is a shame because most of the time the game practically forces you to play on mute because of that.
The Overworld theme is probably the only one that makes the kazoos work (to an extent).

That's what makes this song stand out from the others. It even made it to Smash 4
Masayoshi Ishi is no Koji Kondo, that's for sure. I think I like this soundtrack even less than Yoshi's Island DS'. The problem with both games' music is that the tracks are based on a single theme (something Kondo did himself, with a lot more subtlety) that's absolutely average and forgettable in the first place. I find both games have one rendition that stands above the rest: Windblown Wilderness for Yoshi's Island DS and Bandit Valley for this game. The guitar in this one makes it very pleasant to the ears.
I think the problem came from how obvious it was that each song used the same melody. It was just instant recognition. It worked in Super Mario World because it wasn't so extremely apparent that the same melody was used in each of the stage songs. Each iteration of the melody was varied so well in such a way that they seemed like completely different songs, and it was only as an after-thought that I realized (all that time ago) that it was the same melody. I personally don't think New Island's music was as bad as YIDS. And it could've stood-up as pretty good if not for the use of the kazoos in certain songs. Not a lot, which was nice, but even the use in just one song was a bad enough impression to carry on throughout.
