help Yoshi Topsy-Turvy FAQ
How does the tilt sensor change Yoshi Topsy-Turvy's levels?
The Game Boy Advance cartridge contains a built-in tilt sensor, so rotating the handheld changes gravity and can move objects and enemies around a stage. That makes positioning and timing different from a conventional button-only Yoshi platformer.

Was Yoshi Topsy-Turvy released under another title?
Yes. The 2004 Game Boy Advance release is called Yoshi's Universal Gravitation in Japan and Europe, while North America uses Yoshi Topsy-Turvy. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshi%27s_Universal_Gravitation).

Why did some reviews call Yoshi Topsy-Turvy short?
