Gotta say this came as a nice surprise from the Nintendo Direct! I don't own the game and won't buy it just for this, but seeing Sonic inside Nintendo inspired levels sure got me thinking back to those days when literally no one, and certainly not myself, would have imagined this. Gotta say though, the stage shown looks more like Yoshi's Story than Yoshi's Island inspired but... I'm just nitpicking Smilie.

I just gave several totally shameless & geeky school girl squeals when I watched this!!!.....did I mention I was not ashamed to do that cause this is awesome!!

It is not wise to speak on subjects you do not know all facts about, nor is it smart to judge a game based on looks alone. PSN: Nintendo_Gamer 3DS: 4296-3029-7422

The assets are most likely from the upcoming Yarn Yoshi​ game. All the backgrounds and scenery is stitched together.

Yeah, I also thought this exact same thing.

Which was also the case in Yoshi's Story long before Smilie.

It's been ages since I play YS - back in the days where there were video rental stores (lol in the UK Blockbuster is practically non-existent now) - and we rented out the N64 and Yoshi's Story. Good times!

My mom used to LOVE Yoshi Story Smilie. But she'd ruin my analog stick though, so I ended refusing to let her play with my controllers Smilie.

My guess is that they just treat the style of Yoshi's Story synonymously with the term 'Yoshi's Island' these days. It is odd having a level that's clearly right out of Yoshi's Story but with actual Yoshi's Island SNES music, but I guess it wouldn't have sounded as good to have the stage be called "Yoshi's Story Zone."
