What Yoshi Touch & Go is

Yoshi Touch & Go is an adventure game developed by Nintendo EAD Software Development Group No.4 and released in 2005. It was published by iQue. It is available on Wii U and Nintendo DS.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Yoshi and Baby Mario are back together at long last, and it'll take a steady hand to guide them through their latest adventure. As Yoshi charges across the island, you use the stylus to throw eggs at enemies, lead him to egg-replenishing fruit, and make him jump over danger. On vertical-scrolling levels, you use the stylus to draw clouds to encircle enemies, throw coins, and guide Baby Mario through the dangerous skies. Take on the single-player challenges or compete against a friend using the wireless link of the Nintendo DS.
