| | Super Mario Yoshi Island Original Sound Version : SoundtrackCentral.com |
 | | The music here has a typical Mario-esque feeling (although the classic theme is not used), but in a youthful, innocent schtick to keep the Mario universe afloat, while inviting us to join in with the whimsical world of the Yoshis. |
 | | The score occasionally screams treacliness (in tracks like "Story Music Box"), but it is not completely overdone, unlike its semi-disappointing N64 sequel, "Yoshi's Story". It keeps the saccharine feeling to a mild level, which allows this score to be more enjoyable than its sequel was. |
 | | Of course, it should not come as a surprise that the music is rather synthy, as this soundtrack was created, in my opinion, right around the peak the synthesized game music era. |
