Yoshi Touch & Go, known in Japan as , is a video game that was developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS in 2005. The game revolves around Yoshi and Baby Mario / Baby Luigi. Its graphical style and cast of characters originate from Yoshi's Island. The game heavily utilizes the DS's touch screen capabilities and uses the microphone as well. The stylus is used to capture enemies and items in bubbles, draw clouds that can be used as guiding walls, shoot eggs, and to make Yoshi jump. The microphone can be blown into to "blow away" all of the clouds drawn on the screen.
The challenge in the game comes from replaying the same modes over and over to get the best score possible, similar to the classic arcade games of the 1980s. Therefore, the difficulty of the game differs depending on how well the player chooses to play. The game can be fairly easy if the player chooses to get a low score, and highly difficult if they want to get a high one. Some of the skills that the game requires for high level play are reflexes, multitasking, planning ahead and grace under pressure.
The game begins with three gameplay modes: Score Attack, Marathon, and the multiplayer V.S. mode. After getting the high score in the Score Attack and Marathon modes, Time Attack and Challenge modes are unlocked, respectively. After the high score on these two modes are achieved, the mini-game "Balloon Trip" is unlocked.
