Gameplay
changeYoshi's Cookie is a tile-matching video game. The player is given a playing field with a lot of cookies on it. The cookies are in a rectangular grid. The player controls a cursor on the grid. The cursor is used to rotate rows or columns, like on a Rubik's Cube.
To win, the player has to get rid of all of the cookies. The player must match entire rows or columns to make sure that only one type of cookie is in that row or column. When all of the cookies in a row or column match, those cookies are removed from the grid.
The grid gets bigger as new cookies come in through the top and right sides of the playing field. A game over occurs when the grid overflows.
Game modes
changeYoshi's Cookie has different game modes. In the single-player Action Mode, the player finishes a set of levels that slowly get harder. In the multiplayer VS Mode, two players fight each other using a split-screen. The Super NES version has a single-player VS Mode in which the player fights a computer player.
