Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment in the weekly contests.  This week's game is gonna be Yoshi.  Here are the rules:

  • 1 player only
  • Play on Game Type A
  • Start on Level 1
  • Set Speed to Low
  • Play until Game Over
  • Take your picture on the High Score screen
  • In the event of a tie score, whoever has the higher egg count takes precedence
  • Highest score wins
  • GENRE: Puzzle

The contest ends Sunday, 5/19/13 at 10 PM NA time.  Your user name MUST be in the picture for your score to be valid.  The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid.  No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted.  No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed.  You must take a picture of your computer monitor.  There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers.  Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, or save states if playing on an emulator.  Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests.  The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed.  Good luck everyone and have fun

I just picked Yoshi up for this week's contest at a local retro video game/toy shop I frenquently patronize.  It, fortunately, came with the manual, so I know eggs of seven characters are the way to go.

Never played this before. We'll see what I can do. I know I'll at least get 1 point though. Lol.

I was expecting to sit this one out since I didn't think I owned the game, but then I realized this was one of my 3DS Ambassador games, so I guess I DO own it. No idea how to play it though, so I've got some practicing to do!

I hate Tetris-like puzzles. This one is no exception to the lot, even though I can score at least what I hope is better than Dr. Mario and Tetris (I remember these! Eck!)

6035 POINTS

EDIT: Posted photobucket link because some guys had trouble seeing the pic

Pretty sure my TI83 still has this on it, can I play it on that? Used to kick ass at this game during math class.

^^ I have some work to do. Yoshi is definitely different than what I'm used to playing as far as puzzle games go.

Yoshi is a little bit different to play at first because of the controls, but once you get used to it, the game is a lot of fun and very, very addicting.

EDIT

Wow, 7 submissions already   Hope you guys are having fun with it so far and let's keep the scores coming

Since emulators are allowed, that's exactly what I plan to do. 3DS is the only platform I own it on.

Ok, cool. This'll give me a reason to play the 3DS version. It's also the only version I own! I did own the NES cart back in the day though.
