Play Yoshi Online

Yoshi is a 1991 falling-block puzzle game for the Game Boy, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo. Mario stands beneath four columns and swaps adjacent stacks so falling Goombas, Boos, Bloopers, and Piranha Plants land on matching blocks and vanish. Pairing Yoshi egg halves hatches a Yoshi for bonus points. Two players compete via Game Link Cable.
