In Level 3-2. In the leaf room drop straight to the bottom at the beginning. That flying Leaf Room that is.

Yoshi's favorite fruits:
When you start a level, you should be able to pick a color yoshi. There is a reason for this. Some yoshis like different fruits, so you will get 3 hearts from eating themthat is,if you didn't get it as a lucky fruit, but every yoshi gets 3 hearts from eating a melon.

Beat Baby Bowser:
This is far too easy. The tree to the right of the screen is full of fruit. When you eat a piece it will grow back around five times per piece. It also has a heart fruit invincibility which will grow back twice. To start, Bowser will fly about on green ghosts. The easiest way to hit him is to get rid of all of your shells and grab a bomb with your tongue. Throw this and try to hit him with it. After hitting him three times the ghosts will disappear. If you are injured at all, eat some fruit. Now he'll jump around the screen. Once again throw bombs, remember that they rebound off walls unlike shells allowing backhits. Another three hits and you've won. Incidently if you have the black and white Yoshi's they'll be in the ending too.

Black and White Forever:
Beat the game with the Black or White Yoshi. When you start a new game you'll be offered the chance to play as Black or White Yoshi for the entire game.

Black Yoshis:
1: Go to Bone Dragons Dungeon in Story mode page 2, board 2. Go most of the way through the board to the tulips. Go to the tulip to the left of Miss Warp. Stand in front of the tulip and eat it. Fire yourself upward and break out of the egg near the ceiling. Grab the black egg and complete the rest of the board as usual.

2: Go to Page 2, Stage 4. When the level begins go up through a couple of rooms until you reach the room with the ghost snakes in it. Rapidly jump from snake to snake until you see a floating bubble. Pop this with an egg, grab the black egg and finish the level as usual to get Black Yoshi. This Yoshi is even better than white yoshi as he can eat anything including the black heios who carry the blocks on the final page.

3: This one is found on page 2, level 1. Find the tulip that turns you into an egg and shoot yourself up. You will land on a platform with a bubble -- pop it and you get the black Yoshi egg. You will be able to select Black Yoshi once you finish the level. Note that you can only have ONE Black Yoshi at the time.

4: Go to Page 2-3. Go through the level until you find a Help Box that tells you about a "big egg." From there, go to the left and jump on the last floating rock, then jump on the one above that, and shoot the "?" bubble with an egg. You will receive the black egg. Beat the level and you have the black Yoshi. Note that you can only have one black Yoshi at the time.

Break Bubbles:
To break bubbles without using an egg, simply run into them repeatedly.

Change Shy Guy Colors:
To change the color of a Shy Guy, pound the ground next to it.

Eat Blocked-off Fruit:
Can't get a fruit or other object because it's behind a wall? Here's what to do... simply shoot your tongue straight up or down, then rotate the analog stick toward the object. Your tongue should be fully extended and pass right through the wall

Egg restore:
If Yoshi is low on eggs, is not next to a egg block, and super happy, prepare to fire an egg but cancel that action. Yoshi will put the egg into the inventory and allowing it to be kept.

Heart Fruit Tricks:
If you think the only thing that the heart fruit does when you eat it is make you invincible temporarily, you are wrong. Here are some of the other things it can do:

1. It saves you a ton of eggs. If you pound the ground next to a fruit trapped in a bubble when you are invincible, the fruit will break open

2. It makes your tongue much longer, helpful for getting enemies from a distance.

3. Lastly, if you pound the ground next to a shyguy while you are invincible, the shyguy will turn into fruit

Mario Paint theme song:

Melons from ? Boxes:
Here's a crafty way to get melons. Find two ? Crates Not floating boxes, the yellow, green and blue crates that are near or next to each other. Now, Sniff-sniff to make sure both are empty. If one is full, break it. If neither are, push them up against each other for a while, and out pops two melons.
