Top: world map from the version of Yoshi’s Cookie included with the Japan-only Nintendo Puzzle Collection for the GameCube.
Bottom: note that the castle on the right edge of the map has a sword sticking out of its top that highly resembles Exor sticking out of Bowser’s Castle in Super Mario RPG. This is the only time a game outside of Super Mario RPG has referenced Exor, as the rights for that character remain with Square Enix.

Fact: Yoshi’s Crafted World, which as mentioned previously is set in a kindergarten in Mario’s World, features a multitude of in-universe brands and products with unique names and logos. Some of these brands even originated in the Mario Kart series or the Mario & Luigi series!
I like how you have the Yoshi's Cookie game introducing the Yoshi cookies and they go on to show up in other games such as Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario 64.
Sprites of enemies showing them with unique exaggerated facial expressions, extracted from the files of the Japan-only Nintendo Puzzle Collection version of Yoshi’s Cookie (zoom in to view details).
