[edit] Information
This game was originally developed by BulletProof Software under the name Hermetica and published by Nintendo in 1992, 1993, and 1994. In 1992 the game was released for Famicom and Game Boy in Japan. In 1993 the game was released for Super Famicom in Japan and for NES, SNES, and Game Boy in the United States. The game was released the following year in Europe.
Yoshi's Cookie was also available on the Nintendo GameCube game Nintendo Puzzle Collection, featured along with Dr. Mario and Panel de Pon (aka Tetris Attack, Pokémon Puzzle League or Puzzle League overseas), which was only released in Japan, but was planned to come to the rest of the world at one time.
The SNES version of Yoshi's Cookie featured a slightly-updated version of Yoshi's appearance. This 'new' Yoshi features a bigger head and shorter neck. This appearance was next seen in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story. The Super NES version also reused some of the sprites (namely Mario's) and backgrounds from Super Mario World and oddly, Yoshi's Island, which came out after the SNES version of the game.
The NES version of Yoshi's Cookie was rereleased for the Wii's Virtual Console service on April 4, 2008 in Europe and Australia, and on April 7, 2008 in North America.[2]
[edit] Premise
The object of the game is for Mario to mix and match the cookies. The player controls a cursor which can be used to slide rows of a single "square" of individual cookies in a method similar to a Rubik's Cube. The objective is to create lines of matching cookies, which are then cleared off the screen.
In adventure mode the objective is just to last as long as possible, while in puzzle mode the screen must be cleared in a minimum number of moves.
