No, it's not.
I beat it, but I dreaded every minute of it.
Traded it (and Portrait of Ruin) for Rocket Slime.
The thing is, it's been over ten years since the original SNES game (which I absolutely love) and this game brings absolutely nothing new to the table.
The big difference here is that you can change babies but you can only do so in specific spots, which is stupid because it really limits the game's potential.
The game lost a lot of it's visual flair, they added more shading that makes the characters look fuller but it just looks generic compared to how beautiful and unique the SNES game was. Things like Yoshi's floating feet from the original (he didn't have legs) are gone.
Yoshi moves a lot slower and you can only run with Mario by pressing Y, which to me seems like an excuse to make the levels seem larger.
I thought the dual-screen platforming was fun at first, until I realized that you can't freely switch between top and bottom screen and the music just pales in comparison to the original.
I just can't think of a single memorable moment in the game.
If you want a decent platformer, try Kirby Squak Squad.
Easy as hell but much, much better than Yoshi's Island DS.
Seriously, save your money.
Same goes for that lawyer game that is out... FUCK that 
. Those games are gay... if i did play the surgery game I would mess up on purpose
