That being said, it's the things that SMBX CAN'T imitate that make this episode a distinct experience in its own right!
Plot:
Bowser and his Koopa Troopas arrive at Grandpa Yoshi's Island with the intention of mining for iron and other ores to make weaponry with. All the mining not only disturbs the island's peace and quiet, but the Koopas also capture the local Yoshis and stuff them into '?' blocks!
After some convincing by his grandchildren, the elderly Grandpa Yoshi calls the plumbers Mario and Luigi, wondering just what plumbing has anything to do with kicking an army of mining turtles out of his island. As soon as the Mario Brothers' boat reaches the island, the adventure begins...
This episode took me FIVE YEARS to make! Started it in 2017. See, this is why I usually avoid making long episodes...

Trivia:
As this is a DKC1 remake, the elderly Yoshi was initially going to be called "Cranky Old Yoshi". However, some time later I realized that I wrote him in a way that was not cranky at all, so I renamed him "Grandpa Yoshi". I also considered him as my new nickname when I would come back to the SMBX forums, but I decided to keep my old nickname Shidomaru instead.
