Yoshi and the Mysterious Book

Discover a world of quirky creatures

Step into the adventure as Yoshi and help a mysterious talking book, Mr. E, recover the memories of the creatures living within his pages. Explore vibrant habitats, interact with unique species, and uncover surprising facts as you turn each page of this magical journey.

During your exploration, you may encounter familiar troublemakers like Bowser Jr. and Kamek, who seem to be searching for something hidden inside the book. What are they planning this time?

Meet the characters

Yoshi – Alongside his friends, Yoshi dives into the pages of the Mysterious Book to uncover its secrets and discover the creatures within.

Mr. E – A mysterious, talking encyclopedia that crash-landed on Yoshi’s Island. He has forgotten the contents of his own pages and needs your help to restore them.

Bowser Jr. & Kamek – A mischievous duo causing chaos as they search for something hidden deep within the book.

Study and interact with creatures

Encounter a wide variety of fascinating creatures across different environments. Observe their behavior, experiment with interactions, and even give them names as you document your discoveries.

Each creature reacts differently — some can be carried, thrown, or used to solve environmental puzzles, while others may help you reach new areas or unlock hidden secrets.

Jump into habitats and experiment freely: carry creatures, toss them, or observe their natural behavior. Some interactions will reveal hidden mechanics or unlock new discoveries, even in areas you’ve already explored.
