Favorite Baby in Yoshi's Island DS?

[teh yoshi]

I just got done playing Yoshi's Island DS! Whoo.

Anyway, I must say that my favorite baby to use is Baby DK. Reason is that I can perform a buttload of fun technicalities with him, and if you abuse the DK charge while trekking across the level, it makes you look super cool like you know what you're doing!

First things first is that you can perform something I call the "Rare Jump." Originating in Donkey Kong Country, you roll off an edge, and then do a second jump in midair (I honestly have no idea how they even thought of that). That kind of maneuver branched out in other Rare games as well, such as Banjo-Kazooie. In Yoshi's Island DS, you can charge off a ledge, and then jump in midair. It really gets you places farther than normal, as well as giving you that extra umph that can make you jump fast. It's also very handy because you can avoid enemies or obstacles that are floating above your head over the gap you have to jump across.

But what's really fun is that I found a strange method on how to "wavedash" in that game with DK. What you do is that you must face a slight uphill slope within the end of dashing distance. Dash, but keep holding down. The moment you hit the beginning of the slope, hit the jump button (while holding down), and you'll end up sliding really fast in a crouching position. That's when you can do the charge again and go really fast.

Also, you can perform this neat little trick over mild bumps in the ground, and if timed correctly, you will be sliding very far in a crouching position. Loads of fun.

How did I find this all out? I don't even know.

I chose baby DK too, same as your reason, he can do so much cool stuff, like swinging from the vines, and when you throw eggs, they EXPLODE so you can take out enemies and get more stuff in one swing! =D Plus he has the least annoying cry when you get hit, in fact I kinda 'aawed' when I first heard it XD;;;

Baby Mario just because he's a lot easier for me to move with.

Baby Mario, cause he's very cute, and I can control Yoshi best when he's carrying him on his back ^^

I'll have to go with Baby Peach on this one, I find her parasol very useful. DK does come in a very close second with all his ablilties but every time he jumps onto Yoshi back it almost seems that he snapped Yoshi spine. Oof! To me Peach with a binke and an oversized crown on her head that bobs up and down when you walk is quite cute. But I do find it strange that when Peach falls off you back, why does her crown rest outside on top of the bubble?

I think I'll go with Baby DK on this one. He's just fun to use.
Wario and Bowser didn't really have much going for them (Bowser, especially), but I guess that's why they're limited to only a few levels.

And Peach sounds like a wounded rodent when she cries. Baby Mario's "hey!" has got nothin' on her.

...One weird thing is that in the E3 demo, you actually couldn't defeat enemies by jumping on them when you had baby Peach. It'd just make litle hearts and you'd bounce off. Strange, but it could've made for some interesting puzzles.

Gee, I dunno.. they're all awesome. I think I'll go with Baby Mario though. He makes Yoshi run faster, and it's easier to move around with him. I like Baby Wario the least though, his cry is really annoying! I laughed so hard the first time I heard it. XD
