Unused Yoshi feature in SM64? I've never heard of that...

Never finished, all there is is an unused hatching egg sprite in the WDW data... See it in the video below (I know it says it's a cheat, but it's actually a Toad's Tool edit or such):

Let's just hope that you can do the same Yoshi tricks that you can do in Sunshine.

Taken out of context from a confused post, yes, but I think this is a good point of mini-discussion: What do you think we're going see Yoshi do in this game? So far, it looks like he'll be turning into living versions of powerups past--I've seen the floating Blue Yoshi (basically appears to be Balloon Mario with a Bee Mario-esque "air" meter) and a really fast-running Orange Yoshi (akin to the Turbo Nozzle). Hopefully we'll see something new...er.

What about Winged Yoshi? Seeing a return of that power-up would surely brighten my day.

Ah, of course! Hopefully, it won't be a Flying Mario-esque means of movement about the hub...

Speaking of which, a more Isle Delfino-esque hub would be a pleasant surprise. In my opinion, Delfino Plaza > Peach's Castle > Rosalina's space station, mainly because a hub should be more than just a means of accessing levels.

Well, SMG was designed to be more like the old Mario games.

Innnndeeed. In fact, every SMW-Yoshi-related addition to SMG2 is another 2 reasons for me to get it.

I wonder if swinging the Wii Remote like you would to do to a spin in Galaxy would a way to dismount Yoshi. See, that'd be cool because it'd be like dismounting him in Super Mario World. They could throw in the "spin jump" sound effect from SMW when you do it, also! How cool would that be?

Kimimaru · « **Reply #53 on:** September 04, 2009, 05:58:51 PM »

That would be cool, but I think Nintendo might make you able to do a spin when Mario is riding Yoshi. Since Yoshi already has a Flutter Jump for extra height after a normal jump, I doubt the spin will allow Yoshi to gain more mid-air leverage.

There is also an unused Blargg in the game, but it is extremely primitive. It also has an animation, which is probably used for lunging at Mario. Footage can be seen here:

Shaking can happen unintentionally when playing the Wii, so I don't know if that would be the best way to dismount. May I suggest, though, that whatever button you hit to get off Yoshi will elicit a SMW-esque spin jump if you shake the remote simultaneously?

Trainman · « **Reply #55 on:** September 06, 2009, 03:46:43 PM »

Yeah, that's what I was saying! Throw in the spin jump sound effect, too!

Look what I have found!

It looks very interesting! Some of the sketches are really curious, especially the one at 1:48, for example...I have never seen that level!
Maybe some of these sketches have been the inspiration of Super Mario Galaxy 2. Can't wait to play the game!!!

It's Super Mario Galaxy all over again with slightly better graphics, different music, Yoshi, and new gimmicks! Yay!

Weegee · « **Reply #58 on:** September 16, 2009, 04:09:07 PM »

Let's hope that the sketch at 1:48 becomes reality in SMG2. Does that level's style remind anyone else of Windfall Island from LOZ:Wind Waker?

That's Buoy Base, folks.
