While this mode is enabled, hold L on Controller 2 to advance one frame at a time, or R to do the same after a slight delay. With this code activated, press Start on Controller 2 to toggle freeze frame mode. (Note: these codes are for the v1.0 US ROM.) Some leftover debug code is available in the game, and can be reactivated using a few Pro Action Replay codes. Star Fox 2, which also used the chip, didn't release until 2017. It is one of only three SNES games released in the console's lifespan to make use of the Super FX 2 chip, the others being Doom and Winter Gold. It later got a Game Boy Advance port as Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, adding six new levels. Nevertheless, it's an excellent game and is widely considered one of the greatest titles on the SNES, but is surprisingly difficult. This time, Yoshi is the star of the show, Mario is an annoying baby that won't shut up, and the development team was evidently into some very heavy drugs during the game's four-year development.
What happens when you give a development team at Nintendo nearly the entire lifespan of the SNES to make a game, throw in every technical trick the SNES is capable of, and garnish it all in a unique hand-drawn art style? You get Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, a prequel to the entire Mario series.
