Y is for Yoshi

I remember always waiting impatiently to get to the Yoshi levels when playing Super Mario Bros. as a kid. I remember always waiting impatiently to get to the Yoshi levels when playing Super Mario Bros. as an adult.

There aren't enough Yoshi levels, I say! I've had a lot of fun playing the more recent Wii version with friends, and swallowing your buddies and spitting them into a pit of lava is just the best. And everyone knows Yoshi is the character you race to select when choosing your characters in Mario Kart. (I've actually had to pick a new favourite because he's always so in demand.)

Shout out to blogger buddy Y: To Roland D. Yeomans, for writing such thought-provoking posts.

  2. Thanks, Allison! I am not a gamer. The only game I did was XENA, and to even survive for a little, I had to download all the cheat codes!

    1. haha! That's terrible :) Cheating is far too easy to do these days. I remember the time you couldn't look cheats or walkthroughs up on the Internet!

    1. I switched to Bowser Jr. in Mario Kart. He's my new favourite, though Yoshi will always have a special place!
