Yoshi
The main character shown at the bottom as the color-matching target for falling eggs.
How it plays
The playfield is viewed from the side, with enemies falling into vertical columns. The objective is to prevent the columns from reaching the top while arranging Yoshi egg halves so that enemies are enclosed and removed.
As stages progress, falling speed and pressure increase. Success depends on planning where pieces will land, preserving useful gaps, and clearing several enemies at once rather than reacting only to the next piece.
Plan your run
Watch both columns before committing an egg half, and avoid filling a column simply because a move is immediately available.
Meet the cast

Before you begin
Keep both columns at similar heights when possible.
Plan around the next falling piece instead of clearing the nearest enemy immediately.
Avoid creating isolated blocks that cannot be enclosed efficiently.
Yoshi's Egg is a falling-block puzzle game developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. The player manages columns of descending enemies and uses Yoshi egg halves to enclose matching stacks, clearing them from the playfield. Its play style is simple to learn but increasingly demanding as the pieces fall faster and the available space becomes limited. The game offers a focused single-player challenge rather than an adventure campaign. Contemporary players generally regarded it as a compact, approachable puzzle spin-off that successfully adapted Yoshi's visual theme to a small monochrome handheld screen.
