Date played: February 2nd
Platform: Wii U
Session fun rating: 8/10
I had to stay home with my daughter today because she was sick, so we spent a bit of time playing Yoshi together. We played 3 levels in the 5th world. Everything is snow and ice themed! Frozen Solid and Chilled featured lots of ice blocks, some water spitting fish, a watermelon that lets Yoshi spit out ice breath and freeze enemies, and even a giant whale.
The next level, Flying Carpet Cruise, was really fun. Yoshi rode a flying carpet, which would rise when he jumps and dive when he ducked. I could also control if it went right or left by stepping on the appropriate half of this unusual transportation device. Some of it was pretty difficult, requiring some precise jumping and fast egg throwing. My daughter was enthralled with the smaller, yellow carpets that I stole from Shy Guys.
Finally, we took on the mid-world castle, Big Montgomery's Ice Fort. This place was challenging, but it didn't take too much effort to reach the boss. Along the way, there were some interesting sections where I fought resilient little penguins. The boss was tough too... It marked the return of the giant mole dude, Montgomery. He had some clever snowball attacks, little mole helpers and would even attack from under the floor.
