During the flight, Yoshi has to avoid clashing against the moons (some colored gren, others orange) as well as the Rocket Guys. Clashing against either will destroy Yoshi's Rocket and kill him instantly. Interestingly, this gameplay is also present in a preceding level, but in that case Yoshi was piloting the rocket to go ''back'' up, after having extensively descended through the fortress (and he went down anyway after a FreeFallFight against the fortress's boss).

** The full title screen loop is two minutes long, but you can pass through it by just clicking A three times. Most players probably don't realise there's actually music, since the first thirty seconds of the song are ambient wave noises.
** The 'Boss Room' music is a minute long before looping, but once the boss ''encounter'' starts the music changes. This usually takes fifteen seconds, and even then you'll hear Kamek's little leitmotif play over the top of it when his dialogue box appears.

* AllTheWorldsAreAStage: The final regular level in World 5. Each section of Bowser's Castle is tailored for one of the Babies that are being escorted by Yoshi, so the path he'll choose will depend on whom he's escorting. By extension, this means each section will provide a callback to a previous world (the jungle-themed World 2 for Baby DK, the icy levels of World 4 for Baby Bowser, the Athletic levels of World 1 for Baby Mario, and so on).

Like in the game's predecessor, the scrolling screen will go in all sorts of different directions, crossing the same part of the level more than once in more than one different direction, and there's no justification of any sort.

It is overrun by Boo Guys and two new ghostly enemies: The Polterpiranha (an undead Piranha Plant with wings and no stem) and the Invisighoul (invisible ghosts that take flower pots and furniture to throw them at Yoshi). Related to the latter one, Hector the Reflector is their KingMook.

The most notorious example is 3-Secret, A Light in the Dark, which starts out in a castle filled to the brim with OneHitKill SpikesOfDoom and then has a skiing segment clearly inspired by (and even harder than) that of Kamek's Revenge.

It's a waterlogged sewer with outdoors areas where Yoshi has to manipulate corridors whose positions can be toggled by pressing (or shooting at) color-coded switches, tackle an underground maze with ponds of water, and defeat a large Piranha Plant monster rooted from the ceiling.
* EasyLevelTrick: The ending of World 3-7 has you outrunning a platform-destroying ball with a lot of timed jumps to avoid falling in the lava below or getting stuck (and thus killed) against the other platforms. The natural choice is to bring Baby Mario for his running ability, especially given the setpiece's similarity to World 1-3. However, it's far easier to do with Baby Peach. Her ParasolParachute makes the precision jumps much easier, and while the ball will get extremely close it can't catch you as long as you keep moving. It also reduces the player's feeling of being rushed, which also helps with the jumping.

In addition to the original Mario, there are several other babies that give Yoshis added abilities. Mario himself allows the Yoshis to run fast and see red M blocks. Peach allows the Yoshis to Flutter Jump higher and ride air currents. Baby Franchise/DonkeyKong can climb vines and chains. Wario has a magnet that attracts coins and other magnetic objects. Finally, Baby Bowser can breathe fire, though at the cost of the Yoshis not being able to make eggs. The levels start out as fairly easy, but later on become very hard.

* AntlionMonster: * The boss of the third world in ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' DS, Priscilla the Peckish, is this. She lives in a massive sand pit and eats the Shy Guys that fall into it, spits out Needlenoses at you, and if you try to jump over her, she will leap up out of the sand pit and try to eat you, chewing on you for a few seconds then spitting you out if she does.

Taking place after the original game, Kamek kidnaps all of the babies in the Mushroom Kingdom to take them to Bowser's Castle. Thankfully, the Stork attacks the Toadies and force them to drop two, who are revealed to be Mario and Princess Peach. The two babies land on Yoshi's Island and Yoshi and his friends decide to help Mario once again by rescuing all the babies.
Gameplay remains largely the same as the original ''Yoshi's Island'', but has quite a bit more added features. In addition to the original Mario, there are several other babies that give Yoshis added abilities. Mario himself allows the Yoshis to run fast and see red M blocks. Peach allows the Yoshis to Flutter Jump higher and ride air currents. Baby Franchise/DonkeyKong can climb vines and chains. Wario has a magnet that attracts coins and other magnetic objects.

!!Tropes in ''Yoshi's Island DS'':
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: In World 2-1 of ''Yoshi's Island DS'', you are forced to use Baby DK to play through the entire level the first time you play it, and you could only use Mario and Peach upon replaying the level. While Baby Peach [[DistressedDamsel had a good reason]], Baby Mario gets no justification for why you can't use him. The same thing was done in both World 3-5 and World 4-5, with Baby Wario and Baby Bowser respectively. Again, no justification exists on why you can't use the other babies the first time around in World 4-5.
* AscendedExtra: The Stork was kidnapped along with Baby Luigi in the original game, but in ''Yoshi's Island DS'', it now helps Yoshi out via the Stork Stops.
* {{Autosave}}: As with the original, the game saves after every level.
* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Yoshi ends up carrying babies other than Mario, all of whom have their own abilities.
* BackForTheFinale: After abandoning Yoshi earlier, Baby Wario and Baby Bowser return for the final level.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Defied, as there are two control schemes for people who have played either the SNES or GBA version of the first game.
* DeliveryStork: The stork helps deliver the babies home. And in this game, he can exchange babies.
* DistressedDamsel: Not Peach, surprisingly, as she's actually a playable character in ''Yoshi's Island DS'' (She does get kidnapped by monkeys in World 2-1, however.)
* DownTheDrain: "Big Bungee Piranha's Lair".
* ExcusePlot: The story involving [[spoiler:Bowser and the star children]] is put into action in the opening, but after that it's only brought up in the second-to-last world and is in a MeanwhileScene that has no real effect on the actual adventure.
* FlippingHelpless: Similar to Hookbill in the original, [[spoiler:adult Bowser is defeated by flipping him over, then ground pounding his weak point.]]
* FutureMeScaresMe / IHatePastMe / OtherMeAnnoysMe: Baby Bowser and adult Bowser in ''Yoshi's Island DS'' do not get along well [[spoiler:until they team up for the final boss fight.]]
* GalacticConqueror: [[spoiler:Bowser aims to be this by gathering the seven Star Children]].
* GangplankGalleon: World 3.
* GuestStarPartyMember: Baby Wario and Baby Bowser are only usable for very specific sets of levels, after which they leave the 'party' until the [[BackForTheFinale final level]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Baby Bowser in ''Yoshi's Island DS''. [[spoiler:And he [[FaceHeelTurn Face Heel Turns]] ''[[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor RIGHT BACK]]'' when you reach the FinalBoss.]]
* HighAltitudeBattle: Moltz the Very Goonie, literally battled in [[FreeFallFight free fall]].
* InvasionOfTheBabySnatchers: There's a worldwide baby-snatching spree led by the Koopas. [[spoiler:It turns out that a time-traveling Bowser and Kamek are doing this to harness the power of the Star Children, whose power could allow Bowser to conquer the universe.]]
* JungleJapes: World 2.
* KangarooPouchRide: In certain bonus Coin areas, friendly Kanagaroos allow Yoshis to ride them to gather all the coins.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: [[spoiler:Baby Yoshi in TheStinger]].
* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:The Baby Green Yoshi born at the end of ''Yoshi's Island DS'' is implied to be the modern day Yoshi, which would mean that the playable (Green) Yoshi in these games is a different one.]]
* LivingMacGuffin: [[spoiler:The time-traveling adult Bowser searches for the seven Star Children that will allegedly allow him to conquer the universe. They turn out to be Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby DK, Baby Wario, Baby Bowser, and Baby Yoshi.]]
* MeaninglessLives: It is ''very'' easy to rack up over 100 lives in the first half of the game. Subverted in that, in the second half of the game, [[NintendoHard you WILL]] [[PlatformHell need them]].
* MightyGlacier: Every baby who isn't Mario is this. They all have very useful abilities otherwise, but they disallow Yoshi from running as fast as he did in the original game.
* MinecartMadness: "High-Speed Cart Race".
* MonsterCompendium: ''DS'' has a ''museum'' of every enemy defeated with an egg.
* {{Nerf}}: Red eggs will not bounce off surfaces. Though it nerfs the egg projectile in general, the primary effect is that it makes exploiting the fact that eggs change colour as they bounce to gain red eggs harder than in the original.
** ''DS'' nerfed the entire game in general by ''completely removing the inventory system''. Now, not only can you not make the game easier by refilling your egg supply at the touch of a button or whipping out a melon to spit seeds at enemies, but you are now forced to guard your health bar with your very life, since you can no longer max out your star count at the goal ring simply by using a +10 or +20 star card.
* NostalgiaLevel: World 1-1 is a recreation of 1-1 from the original game, 1-4 is a recreation of 1-4 (complete with almost the same boss, except in DualBoss form) while 4-1, "Rock 'n' Fall", is more or less a combination of "Visit Koopa And Para-Koopa" and "Lakitu's Wall" from the original game.
* OminousFloatingCastle: Bowser's Castle in this game.
* PlotTailoredToTheParty: ''DS'' is structured so that you have to use all of the babies at some point or another by setting up obstacles which require a particular baby's unique ability to get past.
* RingOutBoss: There's also Big Guy the Stilted is fought this way.
* RiseToTheChallenge: "Welcome to Yoshi Tower!"
* {{Rotoscoping}}: [[spoiler:[[http://www.mfgg.net/index.php?act=resdb¶m=02&c=1&id=9916 Bowser's sprites]] [[http://www.mfgg.net/index.php?act=resdb¶m=02&c=1&id=22788 actually come from]] ''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy'', redrawn to fit the graphical style of the former.]]
* SequelDifficultySpike: This game is widely considered to be a much tougher game (unto even PlatformHell levels) than the original, with many dangerous traps that will execute you simply for the crime of not expecting them.
* SuperTitle64Advance: ''Yoshi's Island '''DS'''''.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Wario's only advantage over the other babies is the magnet he carries. This only comes in handy for obstacles that are specifically designed to make use of it.
* TrialAndErrorGameplay: A lot of the levels towards the end of the game are downright unfair, and even go as far as to kill you if you don't notice them.
