The original version was also released for the Super NES Classic Edition and Nintendo Switch Online in the late 2010s. This version was rereleased for the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U’s Virtual Console in the early 2010s.
The game was ported to the Game Boy Advance as Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi’s Island in 2002. Some of its special effects were powered by a new Super FX2 microchip. After four years of development, Yoshi’s Island was released in Japan in August 1995 and worldwide two months later.
