The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

Yoshi in Sonic 2 is a ROMhack/mod of Sonic The Hedgehog 2. In this mod, the player controls Yoshi, with his signature moves from the Yoshi's Island series, like ground pounding, egg laying and throwing, enemy eating. Yoshi carries on his back a Baby Sonic and Tails, which will start to cry if Yoshi gets hurt, and the player loses a life if they are taken away.
