Yoshi's Adventure 64 is a ROM hack made by usernamesarespiders, consisting of 56 Stars and over 12 courses. This is the first installment of the Yoshi's Adventure series, and one of the first hacks to feature Yoshi as a main playable character. It is also the creator's second entry, serving as a character hack; Yoshi plays and acts like Mario although he is a palette swap of him utilizing the same moveset.
Two dedicated sequels of the series, Attack of the Factory (YA128), and, Puzzles For Yoshis (YA96), were made and released a few years after the first game.
Plot[]
[No, this hack doesn't have Yoshi eating enemies or fluttering. Sorry.]
Yoshi has entered the Luna Valley of the island, looking to find the power Stars and find Bowser to see why he's dispersed them. On the way, he goes to the moon, finds other sunglasses-wearing Yoshis, a land of Candy, a strange mine of diamonds, and more! Even a ghost house... or two.

Trivia[]
- This hack is a part of a story series as it considered to be the first chapter and the sequels are its successors.
- Each of the "Alien Yoshis" are easter-eggs as seen in every course. Though they look the same species as the regular Yoshis, they appear to be intelligible and talkative, and don't seem shocked to interact with the main character.
- A very obscure secret area can be found in The Secret Sand Castle, which transitions as the secret ending known as Toilet%. It is accessible by executing a BLJ at the lighthouse section and then entering the base in the outside.
