Level 1-4Get to the top of the building and get the umbrella. Float down on the right of the building. Find the cannon that shoots straight up with two blue blocks underneath. Destroy them and walk in to find a third blue block holding the Shyguy.

Level 2-1Get to the second area and fall down past the "?" balls. Hit the blue blocks to the right and get to the other side of them. Get on top of the three blocks near them but not touching them. Hit the very bottom one and a Shyguy will appear.

Level 2-2Enter the blue tunnel after the second ball ride. There should be a red "?" ball floating in the sky. It contains the Shyguy.

Level 2-3Look for Poochy and sniff in his spot. When Yoshi waves his hands, pound the ground to release blue and white platforms. Climb up them to find a tunnel. Look for three blue blocks on the right guarding a heart. One of the blocks contains the Shyguy.

Level 2-4Look for a sign that points off the screen. There should be a blue box at this location. Walk off the screen and Yoshi will come out of a pipe. Hit the red "?" ball on the right to reveal a "!" ball. Use the ball to jump over the wall. Hit the next "?" ball for the Shyguy.

Level 3-1Ride the big green dragon until you find a "!" switch. Hit it with an egg to reveal clouds. Go up into the clouds to get to the tunnel. Find Miss Warp 3, four eggs, a switch card, and a "?" ball. The "?" ball will contain Shyguy.

Level 5-3After you pass the rain clouds you will see a "?" mark nearby, to the right. Pop the bubble and the Shyguy will appear.

Hint: Level 4-1: Shyguy:Go to the place where all of the Shyguys are on stilts. There are four blue blocks there. Break through the top one on the left and a Shyguy will appear.

Hint: Mini-eggs:Shrink in "Piranha Groove" (level 4-4). Hit an egg block while shrunk to create a very small egg. Take it while still shrunk. The egg will remain small as you return to normal size. Note: The mini-egg is still as powerful as the full-size version.

Hint: 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.

Hint: Pop bubbles without an egg:You can pop bubbles without an egg by jumping or bumping it.

Hint: Move fast:Unlock the Black Yoshi or White Yoshi by finding their eggs. Then, use the Black or White Yoshi in a stage and get a Super Happy Fruit. While Super Happy, Yoshi will be able to move horizontally very fast during the Flutter Jump. This makes crossing gaps a lot easier.

Hint: End the game with all Yoshis alive:Enter a level in story mode, then select a block 1-4. As soon as you enter, turn it off then back on. Note: This might not work with black or white Yoshis.

Hint: Snow:In the Poochy and Nippy stage, go to the location where all of the birds with the bombs are found. Get seven melons or get a heart and it will start snowing.

Hint: Box melon:When you are in a level with boxes apart from each other, you can push one of them to another one and they should vanish. You should then get a melon. Some boxes are not always moveable -- try to push it first to find out.

Hint: Melon instead of heart:If you eat only melons, at the end a melon will appear instead of a heart.

Glitch: Walk on lava:Begin game play on "Blarg's Pit" (level 2-2) and reach the first heart. Jump on Blarg's head, get the heart, and try to aim back for Blarg. In doing so you will get hit and lose a life, but the petals will not fall off. You will land underneath the lava and can walk around.

Glitch: Falling cloud:Go to trial mode, then go to "Rail Lift". Flip past the first two pages. When you are on the cloud, before it goes back, walk off it. The cloud will fall.
