Yoshi can walk and jump, but, with the tilt sensor cartridge, Yoshi can run up vertical walls and he can even slide down hills. Also with the tilt sensor technology the enviorment around Yoshi changes. If the player tilts the Game Boy right all the enemies and objects move to the right, and vice-versa for the left. When you tilt the Game Boy Advance, Yoshi leans the opposed direction.</p><h2>Plot</h2><p>The Plot is comparable to <a data-ref-id="3030-15207" href="/yoshis-story/3030-15207/" slug="yoshis-story">Yoshi Story</a> on the Nintendo 64. <a data-ref-id="3005-337" href="/bowser/3005-337/" slug="bowser">Bowser</a> starts causing dilemma on <a data-ref-id="3030-2866" href="/super-mario-world-2-yoshis-island/3030-2866/" slug="super-mario-world-2-yoshis-island">Yoshi’s Island</a>, and then a sprit named Hongo traps Yoshi and Yoshi’s Island in a storybook. Capturing Bowser can only persuade Hongo to release Yoshi’s Island from the storybook; he then starts to go through the chapters of the said storybook.</p><p>Each of the levels is controlled by a sprit. The first sprit Yoshi encounters is a sprit who loves cute things. As Yoshi progresses though the story he meets more sprits. One loves money, one loves speediness, another loves being strong, and numerous more. Each one of them will set goals for the stage for the player to complete. For instance, the player must gather a certain amount of fruit to free Egglings, collect a number of coins, or finish a level in time. By fulfilling the spirit's requirements, the player surpasses on to the next course.</p>
