Yoshi's Island DS Character Information

Forgot the manual and wish to know what the special abilities for each of the playable characters is? Well read on!

Baby Mario

Baby Mario is the returning star of the original game, and has not really any major special abilities as such, but a few minor ones.

Special Abilities: Dashing, eggs bounce off walls.

Drawbacks: Does not excel in many skills.

Baby Princess Peach

An all new character, she can enable Yoshi to fly using a parasol and is also lighter in all.

Special abilities: Flying in gusts of wind, extended flutter jump

Drawbacks: Cannot run/move fast. Pretty annoying.

Baby DK

The toughest character possible to use, and one that can kill a certain boss in two hits flat, this baby has hugely tough abilities in physical strength... but has an awful jumping ability.

Special Abilities: Dash attack, climb vines, explosive eggs

Drawbacks: Cannot jump far whatsoever, or high. Seriously nerfed jumping, none the less.

Baby Wario

Yet another all new character, the star of the Wario Land and Warioware games is playable in baby form in this game, and also carries one hell of a huge magnet to draw treasure closer.

Abilities: Being able to move metal using the magnet he carries.

Drawbacks: Hurts jumping ability, playable only in later levels of world 3 and Bowser's Castle, is very annoying to put up with when he cries.

Baby Bowser

Oddly enough, the final boss from the first game is playable for a while in this sequel, and can breathe fire to instantly destroy an enemies in reach.

Abilities: Fire Breath

Drawbacks: Hurts jumping ability, you cannot eat enemies with him, can only be used in later levels of world 3 and Bowser's Castle.
