Description
Previously known and shown as Balloon Trip, Nintendo is once again pairing up Yoshi and Baby Mario for an action platform game. Using the Nintendo DS system's two screens and touch screen capability, players must help Yoshi guard Baby Mario from harmful Shy Guys and other Mario-type enemies as he floats defenselessly to the ground. The objective is to overcome all sorts of obstacles to guide him to safety. On vertical-action levels, players must use the stylus to draw clouds on the touch screen to protect Baby Mario from enemies and lead him to Yoshi. On horizontal side-scrolling levels, players must use the stylus to look out for Yoshi as he gallops across the countryside. Yoshi's Touch & Go features two-player wireless play. The game originally debuted as touch-screen tech demo developed for E3 2004.

Special Features
As Yoshi carries Baby Mario across Yoshi 's Island, use the stylus to throw eggs at enemies, lead him to egg-replenshing fruit and make him jump over dangerl; encircle enemies throw coins and guide Baby Mario through the dangerous skies; tackle the endless marathon mode, play for high scores in score attack or take on a friend in wireless vs. mode.

      Great Nintendo DS game overall but gameplay is short.

    If you've ever played Yoshi's Island on the Super Nintendo or Game Boy Advance, you'll recognize the format of this game immediately. It's a side-scrolling game in which you exclusively use the stylus. Sounds annoying, I know, but it's one of the best implementations of a touch screen in a video game that I've ever seen.

    You draw lines of clouds that form ramps, bridges, steps, etc. that Yoshi can use to reach objects or avoid enemies and obstacles. Tap Yoshi and he jumps. Tap an enemy and he throws an egg at it. Circle an enemy or coin and it is encased in a bubble that you can drag over to Yoshi.

    The only complaint I have about this after playing it for about 4 hours is that the game is short. Once you master the first "level", other gameplay types are unlocked but even with those, it's a short game. Still, it's so rich that you'll find yourself playing it over and over without getting bored.

    Yoshi's Touch and Go makes most of what the Nintendo DS was made for. It is a game where you use your stylus on the touch screen to draw roads made out of clouds to guide Yoshi over pits and canyons. You can also use your stylus to attack enemies with Yoshi's eggs or you can even draw bubbles around your enemies to encase them and protect Yoshi from them.

    There's different game modes like Score mode, where you try to achieve a certain amount of points, or Marathon mode, where you try to make Yoshi go far as possible without getting attacked by and enemy. This will provide hours of gameplay to enjoy.

    Unfortunately, That's all it will provide. Once you beat Score mode or reach a certain amount of yards in Marathon mode, there's not much left to do. This game is a bit short for my taste, but I did really enjoy the gameplay I got out of this game while I was playing it.
