'''''Yoshi's Island DS''''' is a 2D [[Genre#Platform|platformer]] for the [[Nintendo DS]] in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series. It is the sequel to ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where [[Kamek]] and the [[Toady|Toadies]] have kidnapped all the babies in the world in search for the [[star children]], a group of seven babies who possess powerful stars in their hearts. While the game is heavily derivative from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', including general gameplay, themes, and graphics, the game primarily differentiates itself from its predecessor by taking advantage of the Nintendo DS's dual screen to display levels while introducing multiple babies to carry on [[Yoshi]]'s back, who all have special abilities that are required to complete levels. Aside from carrying [[Baby Mario]], Yoshis can additionally carry [[Baby Peach]], [[Baby Donkey Kong|Baby DK]], [[Baby Wario]], and [[Baby Bowser]]; Baby DK and Baby Wario make their overall debut in this game. Unlike ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', ''Yoshi's Island DS'' was developed by a third party studio, [[Artoon]], rather than in-house from [[Nintendo EAD]]. | '''''Yoshi's Island DS''''' is a 2D [[Genre#Platform|platformer]] for the [[Nintendo DS]] which is the second original installment in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series.

*The box art shows [[Baby Bowser]] riding Yellow Yoshi, and [[Baby Wario]] riding Light Blue Yoshi; they do not ride these Yoshis in the game other than when Baby Wario is in the final boss fight, however. This is because the babies are only playable in the last four levels on the world map, as opposed to the Yoshis they ride, which are in the first four. | *The box art shows [[Baby Bowser]] riding Yellow Yoshi, and [[Baby Wario]] riding Light Blue Yoshi; they do not ride these Yoshis in the game other than when Baby Wario is in the final boss fight, however.
