That game also had a few "Super Mario World" themes too. Probably a nod to Yoshi's debut game.
Some gamers actually hate things like that, claiming it's "unoriginal," or "cheap nostalgia pandering to sucker older gamers in," but I think it's nice sometimes when games reference older ones sometimes.
