Yoshi (Game Boy)

A portable version of the NES game.

Unused Graphics#

The top of Baby Yoshi's egg, meant to be used on the title screen (as seen in the Famicom version).

Unused Enemy#

Game Genie code 059-0CE-E6A will enable a nearly completed Bullet Bill as a fifth enemy piece. It is fully functional, though it will turn into garbage when it settles on the playfield, as its graphics were overwritten (specifically, with the bottom of the "A TYPE" text). It's possible that the game was considered insidiously difficult with five enemy pieces.

Neither the extra piece nor its graphics are present in the NES version.
