When i first got this game for my daughter, her first reaction was, "Ewwww! He's green!" That really amazed me. Yet, in the next few hours, she really got into the game, and wouldn't stop playing. Later on that day, she told me that she loved this game, and thought I should try it too. Normally, I don't play videogames, but she convinced me to play it. I was glued!! To conclude, about a week after I got the game, my daughter told me that she wanted to paint her room green! Yoshi hits the mark!
