Yoshi’s Story Nintendo Official Player’s Strategy Guide is a fun strategy guide to look through, and that is the reason I purchased it. I did not “need” any help beating this game as I suspect a majority of people did not, either, as this game has a notorious reputation of being super easy and super short. Nonetheless, as a collector of strategy guides, I purchased this guide because I like to read about games that I own and look at character art that is typically exclusive to the guide. This guide did not disappoint in character art, that is for sure! This guide also succeeded in giving the Yoshis and the characters that inhabit the storybook world some character depth and back story, so that when I play the game, I feel that I am closer to the characters and the world that I am playing in. In case you do need help getting through the game or uncovering some of the hidden paths, this guide will help you reach every area and leave no page unturned. It features lengthy and
detailed maps that point out enemies and fruits, strategies for taking down the boss characters and prepares you for the final confrontation. It is a good guide that is, in some ways, more enjoyable and interesting than the somewhat lackluster game.
