This is the only one of the classic 2D platformers I have never even played a second of, so I'm going in pretty blind.

Anything I should know before starting?

Are you playing GBA version? Because thats the version to play for that game.

I remember having it on SNES back in the day by never got around to finding it. Didnt think much of it.

But when I got it on GBA years later it was easily amongst Top 5 Platformers Ive played.

Most of the challenge is in getting the collectibles, so I wouldnt skip those unless you really dont enjoy collecting stuff.

The main thing to know is to ignore the people who say Yoshi's Island is a top tier platformer

It's a good game though

How do they work? Is it like a DK64 kind of thing where they're ultimately just to 100% the game, or is it incentivized in some other way?

Theres an extra stage per world you unlock for getting all collectibles in that worlds stages (at least that was the case in the GBA version; I assume it was the case in the SNES version too, but Im not positive). The bonus levels are a lot harder.

I somehow failed to learn you could shoot eggs when I first played this as a kid. So the game sucked for me.

Played again on GBA emulator years lately and loves it though.

It's worse than any of the mario platformers so don't expect that same level of quality

I don't really think there's a problem with the game itself, so much as it kind of burnt people out in recent years with a string of sequels that are all pretty much the same but with different graphics/worse level design.

I don't think you need to worry too much about collectibles to enjoy the game.

But the game is much more exploration based than the normal mario series.

No, that's not the case. The only thing that doesn't save is extra lives, and for some reason, that was par the course even in the late stages of the SNES.

You have to get, say, all 20 red coins and 5 flowers in one run to get a 100% score to stick. If I got Flowers 1, 2, 3, and 5 in run 1, and Flower 4 in run 2, it won't count as 100%.

Yoshi's Woolly World made stuff save, by comparison.

The GBA version is a blurry mess, at least on the 3DS ambassador thing. I don't remember it being that bad on a GBA, but I had less rigorous standards back then.

I checked it out in a GBA emulator and it looks fine. Not gonna dig out my actual GBA.

Not sure what the deal with that 3DS one is

Oh my GOD you guys were not kidding about the crying. Why in the world would they do this?? Is there any way to mute particular SFX? I'll use a Game Genie if necessary.

I don't want to mute the entire thing because the music in this game is absolutely gorgeous.

It's one of the best sounds in gaming. There's no threat in the game without it, since it's really easy to get the baby back.

The game has a strong learning curve unlike other Mario games though, so it takes a while to get good.

Yeah, the crying being irritating is part of the game design, as it creates a sense of urgency. Don't suck and you'll rarely have to hear it.

Which ones in particular do you like?

I think the title screen music is really nice and full of warm fuzzies. I also like the Athletic stage music. The cave music is nice, too. (also, the "Stoned" themes. >_>) Oh, yeah, and there's the final boss music, obviously.

I never had a problem with the crying, but maybe I also paid real careful attention to not get hit so I didn't hear it as much.

The music is great. That, and the appearance of it all create this wonderful charm, unique to this game. It starts with a really good game, and then layers on this pleasing style that just makes everything feel so much better to me.

People really overstate the crying thing. Or maybe people just suck at Yoshi's Island and are constantly taking hits left and right so they hear the crying all the time.

Good game.
