Play Yoshi's Strange Quest Online

Summary

Yoshi's Strange Quest (often just called YSQ) is a fan‑made sequel to Mario's Strange Quest that builds directly on the Super Mario World engine. The hack packs 71 distinct levels with a total of 100 exits, each brimming with custom graphics, original music and hand‑crafted ASM tricks that even run on a real SNES. Expect a wild mix of themes and gimmicks – from outright silliness to genuinely weird puzzles – plus a ton of hidden secrets that reward thorough exploration. The release includes full box‑art, a cartridge‑sticker image and a downloadable manual, and even offers novelty T‑shirts with every download (the shirt itself isn’t bundled). For the curious, older builds (V1.0 through V1.3 beta) are linked in the readme, showcasing the project’s evolution.

Storyline

Yoshi’s Strange Quest picks up right after the events of Mario’s Strange Quest. Contrary to the original ending where Yoshi’s eggs hatch, the eggs never actually break. Yoshi and his sleepy companion relocate to the odd world of Weirdonia to keep the still‑unhatched eggs safe from Bowser. While Yoshi is out shopping, Bowser manages to steal the clutch again, leaving Yoshi to act alone.

Without Mario’s help, Yoshi sets out on a solo adventure across Weirdonia, a realm filled with bizarre gimmicks, surreal themes, and even jelly‑filled donuts and pizza. The journey is anything but ordinary, as Yoshi must navigate the strange terrain to recover his precious eggs.
