I bought Yoshi's Safari today and I think I own all the Super Scope games for SNES worth owning. I think I should have spent the $10 on something else though, oh well.
Yoshi's Safari is OK as a average light gun game for the masses, but its mediocre compared to Metal Combat and even Battle Clash. Its like a kids Battle Clash or a less intense Battle Clash. The thing that sets Yoshi's Safari from the other Super Scope light gun games is that it uses Mode 7 graphics, like Super Mario Kart, to move the player through the levels. You play Mario riding on Yoshi's back shooting with a Super Scope. The gameplay is mainly shooting every enemy that comes on the screen while watching that your shot meter doesn't run out from shooting too much. There are some areas where you have to jump from land to land when you walk over a jump arrow. Multiple paths in the levels will lead to minibosses or other enemies. The bosses at the end of a level are the Koopa Kids in a robot, Battleclash style, along with other enemies like a Magi-Koopa and Boos. Bowser is the final boss, and the only time I died during the game because I missed the Koopa shells being thrown at me. Once you beat the game, a second, harder quest opens up just like other Super Scope games, but I haven't played it yet.
I got home and just played through the entire game in one sitting and I probably won't play it again. Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge is the best Super Scope game.
