It has full backward compatibility support with the original <a href="/game-boy/3045-3/" data-ref-id="3045-3">Game Boy</a>.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Yoda Stories centers around <a href="/luke-skywalker/3005-1062/" data-ref-id="3005-1062">Luke Skywalker</a>'s time on <a href="/dagobah/3035-884/" data-ref-id="3035-884">Dagobah</a> in between <i>The Empire Strikes Back</i> and <i>Return of the Jedi</i>. The gameplay consists mainly of puzzles and quests such as errands and item retrieval, although there is a combat element as well. There is some persistence between playthroughs; as such, the player is given motivation to complete the game multiple times.</p><p>The player controls Luke, who must solve puzzles to progress within a world. Luke begins his journey with only a <a href="/lightsaber/3055-70/" data-ref-id="3055-70">lightsaber</a>, but can come across <a href="/blaster/3055-478/" data-ref-id="3055-478">blasters</a> and <a href="/health-pack/3055-255/" data-ref-id="3055-255">medical kits</a>. Luke must learn how to use <a href="/the-force/3015-172/" data-ref-id="3015-172">The Force</a> within each world all over again by meeting <a href="/obi-wan-kenobi/3005-669/" data-ref-id="3005-669">Uncle Ben</a>.</p><p>It should be noted that the size of the world maps could be chosen at the player's convenience at the beginning of a game, and they were generated randomly in different environments. Nevertheless, the beginning and ending sequences were always the same. The game begins with Luke arriving at Dagobah in his <a href="/x-wing/3055-345/" data-ref-id="3055-345">X-Wing</a> and meeting <a href="/yoda/3005-7/" data-ref-id="3005-7">Yoda</a> (also coming across <a href="/r2d2/3005-3518/" data-ref-id="3005-3518">R2D2</a> if the player hasn't completed a certain number of games). The ending was a confrontation with <a href="/darth-vader/3005-308/" data-ref-id="3005-308">Darth Vader</a>. After 15 playthroughs, the player obtained a green lightsaber for all successive games.</p>
