Yoshi's Island was one of the last big Nintendo games to appear on the SNES (it used the special Super FX2 chip too) and it remains one of the coolest platforming games around.
Technically, Yoshi's Island was actually Super Mario World 2 back in the good old days, but it's now number three in the Advance series due to the previous GBA SMW releases.
Yoshi's ability to "tongue" enemies, swallow them, and then lay eggs proves to be the central gameplay element (along with his extra-long jumps).
