Golden Yoshi's Island is a ROM Hack of Yoshi's Island built to be played for live audiences in a speedrunning setting. It's a modified version of SMW2+2 by Golden Yoshi (with his full consent). This hack features several optimizations to make it a faster run than its source material, based on feedback from the Yoshi speedrunning community: -36 levels hand-picked from the original ROM Hack's 50 and rearranged into 4 worlds. -Default egg aim setting is now Hasty -Transformation sequence has been sped up -World-clear cutscene has been removed -Message box upon collecting first flower has been removed -Autoscrolling sections removed -New tech to skip vehicle sections -Various other sections of levels have been modified for brevity and consistency -Entering the top secret code now triggers the credits sequence -Brand new title screen and credits sequence, courtesy of Mattrizzle
