Yoshi’s Cookie – a puzzle video game developed by Bullet-Proof Software and published by Nintendo for the NES, Game Boy, and SNES platforms.
Yoshi’s Cookie is a puzzle-based video game in which the player is given a game board filled with several types of cookies arranged in a rectangular grid. The main goal of each level is to clear the board of all cookies. The player mixes and matches cookies so that entire rows or columns are made up of only one type of cookie.
The player controls a cursor on the grid, which is used to rotate individual lines in a manner similar to a Rubik’s cube. When a single row or column contains all matching cookies, the row is removed from the grid. The grid increases in size due to cookies entering from the top and right sides of the game board, and the game overflows when the grid is full. Occasionally, a sixth type of cookie appears, shaped like a Yoshi head, which acts as a wildcard used to clear rows of any other cookie.
