Thank you for reliving some fun memories with me. Have a super happy day!

I think I've played virtually everything on your list, actually, although not all to completion. I believe the only ones I haven't played are Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Battle of Olympus, and Willow.
One that stands out for me as one I've always loved but never finished is Crystalis (either version) as I still intend to complete that someday.
Did you get to play both versions of Crystalis? I more enjoyed the original over the one they released for the GBC. However, I do give them credit for updating how the game ends in the GBC edition.
***
I'm glad you enjoyed going through this list and seeing so many titles that were familiar to you. I had a lot of fun writing it and getting the chance to use my imagination to relive a lot of wonderful, gaming memories.
Capcom really did a great job with all of their titles on the NES that they did for Disney. Especially for what they developed around The Disney Afternoon. :)
A fun list of games! Good job beating so many. :O It's fun to think about and look back on. :3
Funny enough Undertale's going on a $1 sale right now. And I think it's over 10 years old now, wow.
Yoshi’s Island DS (NDS) - It was really fun to finally get a DS and be able to play this! Around the same time I think you sent me your GBA Yoshi's Island!
Yoshi’s New Island (3DS) - A yoshi game I had to force myself through, in comparison it's just so bland, but I do love the penis beanstalk boss, big beanie, that just looks like a big green penis with a matching tip. And friends still like to joke about the kazoo theme song!
Yoshi’s Safari (SNES) - I still never played this and want to some day! I hope somehow nintendo brings it to one of their systems. They did have Duck Hunt using a wiimote, they could do similarly for super scope games!
Yoshi’s Story (N64) - The game I got with garage sale money, and beat with a friend the same weekend, and was kinda confused about it being too short, but eventually got that it was meant to be played a lot and loved it! Also playing as yoshis on the park playground with bubblegum yoshi's powers hehe.
Yoshi: Topsy-Turvy (GBA) - I was excited to get this one once I got a Nintendo DS that could play GBA games since I didn't have a GBA, but I never beat it and it was kinda weird, oops. Good job beating so many yoshi games I haven't!
***
*Blush* I forgot that I sent you Yoshi's Island for the GBA. Then again, I know that you were the right Ham-Ham to have the best of my Yoshi collection. You can still play the games and see all the cool Yoshi pictures that I no longer can. I have my memories and, hopefully, all the Yoshi goodies that I've sent over the years have only made your collection all the more colorful and delightful.
***
I am surprised that Yoshi's Safari hasn't been ported over to Virtual Console yet. It was a fun game and could easily be emulated for the Switch, or fothcoming Switch 2. It was quite the fun and colorful game. The Koopalings had some really cool mechs they piloted, too.
***
Yoshi's New Island was kind of boring when compared to the original Yoshi's Island. I think it was due to how it really didn't bring a whole lot of "New" to the world of Yoshi. I did like the music and finishing it alongside you back in 2014 was a blast. (I also nearly forgot about the penis boss, too. Kazootles!).
***
Yoshi: Topsy-Turvy was a very strange game. The gyroscope controls were fun, but could also be very annoying, too. Overall, I thought it did well at combining the fun aspects of Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story. It would've been a lot better if it wasn't so hard, at times, and the spirits didn't keep giving you such limitations on what was considered the best way to finish a level.
***
D'aww! I still love the story of how you and your friends talked about how each of the Yoshies in Yoshi's Story had different abilities. I'll never be able to think of a Pink Yoshi without thinking of those amazing bubblegum powers. :)
The game was indeed short, but really rough to get through with 30 melons in each of the six levels you had to go through. I only ever did it once and had to do so on a very specific path that allowed me the best chance at getting all the melons from the mini games.
Oh! I forgot if you ever got to figure out the "Secret Message" you got from putting all the letters together from each of the melon mini games? When I ran the Yoshi site that I did, I had people help me fill in all the letters for each stage and learned that the message you could spell across the 24 total levels was, "You Are Yoshi's Great Partner".

Thanks for making my Star Day awesome, Oxnard! I look forward to quacking with you again really soon!

Easily one of my favourite zeldas graphic wise too, the game still looks fantastic as well as having a superb art style x3 Really reminds me to replay it sometime ^^
As for the sea travel on the boat, I was not much of a fan of it. Though, I think it was more due to how I struggled with the salvage operations you had to do in order to get some of the treasure chests. Most notably the treasure chests that had the Triforce pieces. Getting lined up to where you saw that light briefly flicker drove me crazy. I had also hoped for more dungeons to explore.
I never got to play it, but I think they brought Toon Link back in Minish Cap. I think it would be fun if they used a similar toon style for another Zelda game, or even some of Nintendo's other franchies. Maybe a toon version of Star Fox would work out...?
Thanks for taking the time to read over this list and to comment. :)
If there are any games on my list you'd like to talk more about, please do. It was fun for me to go through and try to think of every game that I finished during my time as a gamer. Anything you may add would only make these memories better through getting to know what fun, or frustration, each of these titles provided. :)
"Yu gotta have the sour... with the sweet..."
I may need to update this journal as I realize the games that I forgot to include. It's been a lot of fun to put together and remember all the gaming fun I had before I lost my eyesight.
