The colorful platformer is scheduled for a Spring 2026 launch.The trailer begins with a giant sentient book named Mr. E (for "encyclopedia") crash-landing onto Yoshi's Island. One of the Yoshis jumps into the book to investigate the menagerie of mysterious creatures documented inside the book in an unknown language.Instantly, Yoshi befriends a flower creature, which rides its back.
