Discover a colorful new adventure with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book for Nintendo Switch 2, an exclusive Nintendo action-adventure and platforming game filled with charming creatures, imaginative environments, exploration, and discovery.

The story begins when a mysterious talking book named Mr. E crash-lands on Yoshi’s Island and loses his memories of the strange creatures living inside his pages. Join Yoshi as he jumps directly into the book’s chapters, explores unique habitats, interacts with unusual creatures, and helps Mr. E rebuild his lost knowledge.

Explore the Pages of a Mysterious Book

Each chapter transports Yoshi into a different colorful habitat filled with creatures to observe, interact with, and experiment on.

Instead of simply defeating everything you encounter, the game encourages curiosity. Yoshi can interact with creatures in different ways to uncover information about their behavior and abilities. Each area also contains an important discovery that helps unlock the next part of the adventure.

Classic Yoshi Abilities

Use Yoshi’s familiar moves in creative ways while exploring the mysterious book.

Gameplay abilities include:

• Gobble creatures using Yoshi’s tongue
• Turn certain creatures into eggs
• Throw eggs at objects and targets
• Flutter Jump across platforms
• Ground Pound through obstacles
• Carry creatures on Yoshi’s back
• Sprint through environments
• Observe creatures from hiding spots

These abilities are used not only for platforming, but also for discovering how different creatures react.

Meet Strange & Lovable Creatures

The mysterious book is packed with unusual inhabitants, each with its own appearance, behavior, and surprises.

Experiment with them by carrying them, jumping on them, feeding them, swallowing them, or simply watching what they do. Discovering their characteristics helps fill in Mr. E’s missing information.
