Still Loading #391: Yoshi's Island w/ Eric Gess and Dave Pietrangelo
Sunday, 29 March, 2026
The finale of Mario Month 2026 is here and it's on a game where you don't play as Mario!? Sort of? I am joined by Dave Pietrangelo of Remember 64 and Eric Gess of The Unlockables to talk about Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Or better known to all of us normies as, Yoshi's Island. Yoshi's Island is jam packed with whimsy, inventive gameplay, great mechanics and also the worst sound known to man, baby Mario crying. The three of us break down all we love and don't love about the game, about how Mario's crying is PTSD inducing for 3 grown men with kids of their own now and how this game, even all these years later, continues to leave a mark on gaming.
