Yoshi's Island DS
Also known as: Yoshi's Island 2
Yoshi's Island DS is a 2D platformer for the Nintendo DS in the Yoshi's Island series. It is the sequel to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, where Kamek and the 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.

Description
About This Game
Kamek and his toadies are taking babies from their homes to the castle!
The Yoshi clan and Baby Mario™ will need to team up again to save the
day! As Yoshi crosses the lush but perilous lands of Yoshi's Island, he
will also need to depend on his baby companions and their own special
abilities!
After rescuing Baby Mario and Baby Luigi™ from the clutches of Kamek, it
looks like the evil Magikoopa still hasn't learned his lesson. The
Yoshis and Baby Mario team up again to save all of the babies that have
been kidnapped. Swallow, stomp, and throw eggs at enemies in the five
worlds of Yoshi's Island, while also using Yoshi's special abilities to
navigate dangerous areas. Each baby companion has their own special
ability to help in the adventure. But take care to not drop them for too
long, or Kamek and his toadies will come to snatch them away!
