Gameplay

The game is played from the perspective of Mario, riding on Yoshi's back. Yoshi's head is always visible, and accidentally shooting at him causes a loss of health (and Yoshi flashing you an angry look). The super scope could fire automatically, which quickly drained power. The RPM of the Super Scope would decrease when its Power Meter was close to empty. When completely empty, it will continue firing but only one shot at a time if the Fire Button was still held down, signifying that the player needs to release the fire button and let it recharge. There are two fire flowers in the game and Collecting them increased the amount of time that the scope could shoot before needing to recharge. Yoshi's Safari puts emphasis on platforming, and at times is imperative to jump (via the Cursor button) in order to avoid some obstacles. Also, there are branching paths that leads to different enemies, mini-bosses or prizes, though they always end in a same main road, which leads to a boss. The bosses can be the Koopalings with some of them piloting Mechs, bigger versions of normal enemies (such as a big Magikoopa or the Big Boo) to Bowser himself, wearing a suit of armor equipped with two Gun-Hands and a devastating energy cannon located in the stomach. Larry, the youngest of the brood, shows off the Koopa Kids trademark upright hairdo. ... Big Boo,from the Mario series, is not only one particular enemy: Big Boo: the original. ...

At the end of the game, a code for a harder game is given to use at the title screen. This not only changes the colors of the levels, but it also makes the bosses harder and changes the text of the story scenes to say that the events of the story are repeating themselves.

Although not a regular Mario game, Yoshi's Safari contained a few milestones seen to be notable. For one thing, this is the first game where Princess Peach is referred to by that name in the North American release, predating even Super Mario 64. Secondly, this game contains an individual Magikoopa boss, which may have been the inspiration behind the Kamek character (note that in Japan, Kamek is both the name of the class and the character, so this can very well be the character Kamek's first appearance). This game also marked the last appearance of the Koopalings until Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, released ten years later—1994's Hotel Mario also featured them, but that game was not directly made by Nintendo.
