During the second phase of the final boss fight in the SNES release, Baby Bowser has three fingers on each hand, contrasting with most official portrayals of Bowser, which show him with four. This error is fixed in the Game Boy Advance version, which redraws his sprites to give him the proper number of fingers.

According to Plok co-creator Ste Pickford, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto considered an early build of Plok to be the third best platforming game behind his own Mario in first, and the rivaling Sonic in second, and was interesting in helping Software Creations make Plok of a higher quality than Sonic, even if not Mario. Ultimately, he passed up the opportunity, with Pickford believing it was due to similarities with the then-unannounced Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

In a 1995 interview with Shigeru Miyamoto published in the September issue of Haou magazine, he was asked about how long it took to develop the game? He responded:
"The staff members who have been working on it the longest started around the time Super Mario World was released, so about 5 years. The first two years were mainly spent experimenting with different ideas. We had one idea where Yoshi would move around freely, and he’d support Baby Mario and lead him through the stage. Almost all of those early ideas came to naught, but the one that really stuck and bore fruit for us was the idea of a game where even though you hit enemies, you don’t die."

It's possible that Tweeters were originally going to appear in the game. Tweeter graphics from Super Mario All-Stars appear in the game's code, and could have been place holder graphics for the enemy.

In stage "Extra 3: More Monkey Madness", a 21st Red Coin can be found. The coin is hidden under a peg occupied by a gray Tap-Tap, with a rotating Paddle-Wheel above it, making it difficult to access. In the Game Boy Advance port, this coin is removed, indicating that it may have been present in the SNES version due to either a glitch or mistake.

In the Game Boy Advance version of the game, dying enough times during the intro level to get a game over will result in the game's save file displaying "World 0." This is the only time this icon is accessible in the game, and in any version of the game, as the Super Nintendo original gave you infinite lives to beat the tutorial level.

When approaching the boss Naval Piranha, the player can see him in his un-transformed state and can fire an egg at him. Doing so results in him dying instantly, and Kamek flying in to yell "OH, MY!!!" before flying away in retreat.

The art style of Yoshi's Island is said to be a result of Shigeru Miyamoto rebelling against Nintendo's internal evaluation committee. The committee wanted the game to feature pre-rendered visuals like Donkey Kong Country, but Miyamoto disagreed. Instead, Miyamoto reworked the original art assets so they looked as if they'd been drawn with crayons.
