Inside Yoshi's Cookie
What it is
Yoshi's Cookie is a puzzle game similar to Tetris, in which the player is given a playing field populated with cookies of five various types arranged in a rectangular grid. The player moves randomly placed cookies into rows and columns of cookies with similar patterns. When a row or column of the same cookies is successfully assembled, the line will disappear, and the player can begin to work on a new row or column. The main objective of each level is to clear the playing field of all the cookies.
The premise
In the sequel to the Yoshi title, Mario and Yoshi have set aside their adventures to live the simple life of cookie-factory workers... but all is not well in their factory. The ovens have gone crazy and are firing out baked goods and cookies at a Yoshi going to town on some home baked cookies rate similar to that of most high end machine guns. Mario and Yoshi have got a job on their hands now, sort and stack all the cookies and treats quickly before the piles get too high.
