Maybe I just didn't approach the game right. I was looking for it to provide me with another Mario experience like Yoshi's Island.

But I really don't think it's my type of game...............

I mean, I started playing Mario World the other day and I was like "Wait, why am I getting all of the coins?" and flew over the entire level.

So I don't think I'd care about the Yoshi's Story gameplay.
