'''''Yoshi Demo''''' is a [[tech demo]]<ref>[http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/techdemos.shtml#ystory The Mushroom Kingdom's Yoshi Demo information]</ref> that appears to be a [[Game Boy Advance]] port of ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. It is also commonly regarded as [[List of unreleased media|vaporware]], though it is unknown if [[Nintendo]] ever had any intentions of releasing it as a full game. The first version of the demo is completely mute, but the second version contains music and sound.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epzocbp5wMs Video of version 2 of ''Yoshi Demo'']</ref> The demo's ROM image can be obtained only within the Game Boy Advance {{wp|Software development kit|SDK}}.

It is also commonly regarded as [[vaporware]], though it is unknown [[Nintendo]] ever had any intentions of releasing it as a full game.
As stated above, this tech demo seems to be based on ''Yoshi's Story'', though it has a few differences from that game. ''Yoshi Demo'' begins by showing [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] rotating before cutting to an endless ''Yoshi's Story''-like [[level]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6gXrxx0140 YouTube video of the demo]</ref> At the beginning of this level, [[Yoshi]] is given three [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s. Though {{wp|IGN}} claimed that Yoshi can lay more eggs by eating enemies,<ref>(December 7, 2001). [https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/12/07/yoshi-demo Yoshi Demo]. ''IGN''. Retrieved January 22, 2023.</ref> this is not true and Yoshi's eggs actually appear to act as health in ''Yoshi Demo'', as he loses both a Yoshi Egg and a petal from his [[Health Meter#Yoshi's Story|Smile Meter]] when getting hit by an enemy attack and regains three petals upon collecting another egg. Health can also be collected by hitting [[Message Block]]s and [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing the [[balloon]] that results. Also, when Yoshi ground-pounds, he does so with his head. ''Yoshi Demo'' introduces [[Toady|Toadies]] that attack Yoshi with spiked balls and [[Thwomp]]-like weight enemies.

<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6gXrxx0140&mode=related&search= YouTube video of the demo]</ref> At the beginning of this level, Yoshi was given three [[Yoshi Egg]]s; though [http://www.ign.com/ IGN] claimed that Yoshi could lay more eggs by eating enemies, this was never proven true and Yoshi's eggs would actually appear to have acted as health in ''Yoshi Demo''. (Yoshi losing both a Yoshi Egg and a petal from his health meter when getting hit by an enemy attack and regaining three petals upon collecting another egg.) Health could also be collected by hitting [[Hint Block]]s and [[Ground Pound]]ing the [[balloon]] that resulted. Interestingly, ''Yoshi's Demo'' would have introduced [[Toady|Toadies]] that would attack [[Yoshi]] with spiked balls and strange, iron-shaped, [[Thwomp]]-like enemies would have appeared.
