Yoshi's New Island^[a] is a 2014 platform game developed by Arzest and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS handheld game console. First released in Europe and North America in March 2014, Yoshi's New Island is a retcon of the events of the ending of the 1995 game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and is set prior to the events of the 2006 game Yoshi's Island DS.

The gameplay focuses on controlling Yoshi characters who must escort Baby Mario through a series of levels. Like similar Yoshi games, the game features a hand-drawn art style, with level designs and backgrounds stylized as oil paintings, watercolors, and crayon drawings.^[1] The game received mixed reviews from critics with criticism for its graphics, art-style, soundtrack and similarity to the SNES original; though the level design and overall charm did attract some praise.
