Simple, entertaining puzzle game with nostalgic charm
Mario & Yoshi for the Nintendo GBA is in my opinion a simple yet highly enjoyable puzzle game. In this game, it’s all about combining falling pieces to score points, which I find really fun. You can choose to control Mario or Luigi while you have to think quickly to form Yoshi eggs by stacking the right blocks. The intuitive gameplay offers a nice balance between strategy and reflexes, keeping me on the edge of my seat.
What I particularly like about Mario & Yoshi is the gradual difficulty curve. This makes the game accessible for players of all ages, whether you’re a seasoned gamer or just starting out. Although the concept may not be very deep, the charming presentation and recognizable Mario elements ensure that it’s a nostalgic and relaxing experience. The cheerful music and colourful graphics instantly transport me back to the simplicity of the classic Mario games.
This game is perfect for short play sessions, ideal if you want to unwind without having to think too much. It shows how effective simplicity can be in a time when many games are becoming increasingly complex. For me, Mario & Yoshi is a real recommendation for anyone looking for an accessible and enjoyable puzzle experience on the GBA.
