Gameplay[edit]

Yoshis Wooly World Yoshis Cookies

Yoshi's Cookie is a tile-matching video game in which the player is given a playing field populated with cookies of several types, arranged in a rectangular grid. The main objective of each level is to clear the playing field of all the cookies. The player mixes and matches the cookies such that entire rows or columns consist only of cookies of the same type. The player controls a cursor on the grid that is used to rotate individual lines in a manner similar to a Rubik's Cube. When a single row or column contains all matching cookies, the row is cleared from the grid. The grid grows in size from cookies entering from the top and right sides of the playing field and a game over occurs when the grid overflows. A sixth cookie type, shaped like Yoshi's head, occasionally appears that acts as a wild card, used to help clear lines of any other cookie.

Game modes[edit]

Yoshi's Cookie has different game modes. In the 'Action' single-player mode, the player completes successive levels that progressively grow more complex. A multiplayer VS mode has two players competing against each other in split-screen. The Super NES version has a single-player VS mode in which the player competes against a computer player. The Super NES version also contains a Puzzle mode in which each level has a predefined grid of cookies and player must clear all the cookies in a maximum number of moves.

Development[edit]

Yoshi's Cookie originally began development as an arcade game called 'Hermetica' (ヘルメティカ, Herumetika), which was being produced by game developer Home Data. The arcade game did poorly at its test locations, so Home Data sold the rights to Hermetica to Bullet-Proof Software.[6][7] Bullet-Proof Software then produced an SNES version, designed by game designer David Nolte.[8] This version was shown at the 1992 Consumer Electronics Show. Nintendo obtained the licenses for the 8-bit (NES and Game Boy) versions of Hermetica, and developed the game into Yoshi's Cookie, which now featured Mario characters.[9] The soundtrack was composed by Akira Satou, Nobuya Ikuta, Noriko Nishizaka, and Tsutomu,[citation needed] which also features a rendition of Csikós Post, written by German composer Hermann Necke.[citation needed] The NES and Game Boy versions were first released in Japan on November 21, 1992. They were then released in North America in April 1993 and in Europe on April 28, 1993.

While Bullet-Proof Software retained the rights to the original Super NES game, Nintendo licensed the Mario characters and allowed the developer to use the Yoshi's Cookie branding.[9] This version was produced by both Nolte and Yasuaki Nagoshi. The levels in the game's Puzzle mode were designed by Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov.[citation needed] The Super NES version was released in Japan and North America in 1993 and in Europe in 1994.

Yoshi's Cookie received mixed to positive reviews. GamesRadar ranked it the 48th best game available on the Game Boy and Game Boy Color.[17]The Washington Post in 1993 called the game 'simple, but addictive, just like all puzzlers from the Big N. Give Yoshi's Cookie a taste test - but don't do it before bedtime. You might have nightmares about that NES coming back to life.'[18]

Legacy[edit]

Tetris DS features a Yoshi's Cookie backdrop for its Puzzle mode,[19] and Mario Kart: Double Dash‼ features a battle stage, Cookie Land, with a Yoshi's Cookie theme.
