General Commentary and Game Overview
So I found this shortly after I reviewed the original. At first I was kinda skeptical but when I played this version, I actually had some fun. Most, if not all the issues that were in the original are now fixed, and you can now even configure the controls the way you want it to be or even use a controller. So sticky keys is not a problem anymore. With all of these improvements, I found the game to be much more easier, and enjoyable. I also liked how when you beat the game, you get a level select, so it's like a reward.
 
Pros -Better graphics
-Fixed collision polygon issues
-Controls better
-Now has a save feature
 
Cons -Odd music choices
 
Impressions
Gameplay
6 / 10
So the gameplay is mostly the same from the original, but I found myself to be enjoying it much more this time around. You still have to eat all the enemies, but the hitboxes of them are accurate and Yoshi makes a tongue noise when you eat them, so killing enemies at now at the very least a little satisfying. Jumping is better, so you can be more precise when platforming.
 
Graphics
7 / 10
A vast improvement. There's now 16-bit environments, so Yoshi doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. The backgrounds were also improved, and I like them. I also like the graphics for some of the "desktop" areas in the game. All in all, it's pretty good.
 
Sound
6 / 10
Same music choices from the original which don't seem to relate to Yoshi or Windows. However, sound effects were added. Yoshi makes a tongue noise now(as mentioned above), a jumping noise, and a noise when enemies die.
 
Replay
7 / 10
I can understand that people will revisit this game because of nostalgia since it was accepted on MFGG a long while ago. I even see myself revisiting this game because it was better than I expected it to be, honestly.
 
Final Words
7 / 10
It's a very big improvement over the original.
