*** The Yoshi's Story Guide*** Author: marshmallow ([email protected]) -Mini Editorial- This guide is for the select few who can actually appreciate what Nintendo did with Yoshi's Story for the N64. They made a game that toddlers can enjoy AND a game that older gamers could enjoy. But for some strange reason almost no one has caught on to this, they all say it's too easy. HA! I say, have you collected all of the melons?! Have you even tried? Do you EVEN know what I'm talking about? I didn't think so, this guide is for showing all of the melons, hearts, heart fruit, coins, and all of that other stuff, it's also a way to get a good High Score! Well, let's cut to the chase... ========================================= Version 1.1 Revisions March 21st - Well, I changed the font. Spellchecked everything...that's it. God knows when - This is the first version so there aren't any! ========================================= Contents ------------ 1) Basics 2) Tricks, Tips, and Secrets 3) The Guide 4) Enemies 5) Bosses 6) Items 7) Credits 8) Legal Stuff 9) End ---------- 1) Basics ---------- -Story Mode- Story Mode is what you would call the 1 player part, well actually everything is 1 player but that's beside the point. Each world is represented by a page in a six page book, the book being the game of course. Each page has 4 levels, regular 2D, side-scrolling fun. You can only play 1 level per page in one game. So an entire game is six levels, pretty short you must admit. At the first page you can select any of the four levels, after that it takes a Star Fox 64 like path. In each level there are hearts, if you collect one you can pick one more stage in the next page. Collect all three in a world and you can select from any of the four levels in the next page. When you first buy YS (like I did) I would suggest going to all of the levels because then you can play them all in Trial Mode (we're getting to that soon). I try to avoid Story Mode because of the terrible singing (you'll see) and the fact you can only play six levels per game. This is why I usually only play.... -Trial Mode- In this mode you can play any levels you have completed in Story Mode. Try playing them all in a row, whew! Doesn't seem so short now does it? =) There are 24 levels in all, and that should be your goal. What the creators intended this to be is a mode to get High Scores. You can do that, but I usually play this all of the time because there's absolutely NO singing, sucky endings, dumb level branching, or crazy pop up books! Amazing, isn't it? :) -Practice Mode- This mode takes you to an "almost level level." It teaches the basic techniques of the game. There are melons here, but I don't *think* you can get 30 of them, who knows? -Controls- Jump: A Flutter Jump: Hold 'A' while in the air, to make it even longer press 'A' after you hear his grunt Lick: 'B' - you can use the control stick to make it go diagonal, up, down, or the default, sideways. Stomp: Press down on the control stick while in the air Sniff: 'R' - use this to look for hidden places in the ground and/or air. Throwing Eggs: Press 'Z' to bring up the cursor and then press 'Z' again to launch an egg, the egg will not go beyond the "X." Control the the "X" with the control stick, you can make it go as far or as close as you want. Walking/Running: Use the control stick, there is really no need to walk as far as I know. Ducking: Press down on the control stick and Yoshi will duck, good to use in tight situations. You can walk while in this mode, ever so slowly. -Throwing Eggs- When you throw an egg it will stop at the "X" so be sure to control the "X" with the control stick. When an egg hits a wall or the "X" it will explode and cause a small radius of fire, it looks like fireworks. This explosion can defeat baddies, blow up blocks, and pop bubbles. Of course, a direct hit with an egg will do the same. The radius of the explosion is caused by how healthy you are, so if you're about to die it is very small, while if you're 100% the radius will be large. Remember this. -Sniffing for Secrets- Some levels have lots of secrets in the ground while others do not. Press 'R' and the camera will zoom in and Yoshi will start sniffing, walk around and when Yoshi starts to rapidly sniff you're getting close to a spot. When an "!" appears over his/her head move VERY slowly until Yoshi starts to hop up and down and wave at you, stomp there to find a secret. It may be coins, a melon, fruit, a bubble, switches, or even maybe a Heart. -Mini Games- In most levels, you will face a Mini Game. In all of them, if you win, you get seven melons. Track Meet: Run to the end to win, your path it usually full of things to hinder your way. The chomp window above shows you the amount of melons you will get at certain times...kinda. Special Delivery: Remember playing that old Charlie Brown game on the SNES where you had to balance a bunch of pizza boxes? Same thing, just harder. For most of the game. this is a piece o' cake! But the last few levels...well...they're a @#$%^&! Long Jump: This is REALLY hard if you haven't mastered the flutter jump, otherwise it's pretty easy. ---------------------------- 2) Tips, Tricks, and Secrets ---------------------------- This is going to be a numbered list 1. If you fall off a platform over a bottomless pit, flutter the best you can and you might be able to get back on the platform or at least on solid ground. I've saved myself a lot of lives this way. 2. Conserve your eggs, Egg Blocks are spread far apart. Instead of using an egg to defeat a baddie try a hop, or a stomp, or a lick, try everything. 3. There are two different colored Yoshi's that are hidden in Story Mode, Black and White. They like all fruit, all shy guys, their explosions from eggs are really big, and last but not least, they like peppers. 4. While Super Happy be careful of where you pound the ground, you wouldn't want to turn Shy Guys into fruit therefor losing the possible points you couldn't got from them! 5. Yoshis have their favorite fruit, although I only eat melons (cough, cough! Take a hint people!). All Yoshi's love melons as well. Green - Water Melons Yellow - Bananas Red - Apples Pink - Apples Blue - Grapes Light Blue - Grapes Black - Anything, including peppers White - Anything, including peppers All Yoshi's like melons too, plus you get a 100 point bonus 6. If you find any White Shy Guys, take it to the end. It serves as a 1-up of sorts. 7. You can use Bomb-ombs as eggs, plus they bounce off walls like the eggs in Yoshi's Island. They explode on contact, just don't tow them too long, or they'll "explode on contact" on you! 8. Going for the best possible score in Trial Mode can be a difficult task, especially because everything counts. Here is a table for your pleasure! Fruit...... The points you get here are from the fruit you get. This score should always be around 1395 because of the melons. Enemies....This is the amount of points from enemies, there are many tricks for getting this high, mainly for Shy Guys. Coins......You get one point per coin, collect as many as possible. When you get a heart fruit you get coin letters. Hearts.....100 points per heart, three per stage. 300 points. Melons.....100 per melon, 3,000 points! Yoshis.....100 points for each Yoshi that is still alive, 600 points max. 9. Here is the Shy Guy trick I was talking about above. If you eat a Shy Guy you get 1 point, if you eat a Shy Guy that is your favorite you get three points. If you hop on or egg a Shy Guy you get 2x as many points, six points if it's a favorite. Destroy many Shy Guys with one egg and you get tons of points! 10. I forgot to mention, favorite Shy Guys are the same color as your Yoshi (Red likes red, Blue likes blue, etc.). You can change the color of a Shy Guy by pounding the ground near it, blue, green, yellow, and red (not the order). Black and White Yoshi's like all Shy Guys, including black. ------------------ 3) The Guide ------------------ When you find a melon I will list it as (number goes here) When you find a Heart I will list it as (Heart # "number goes here") It's off to the guide now! Remember, all of this is melons, no grapes, watermelons, bananas, apples, or peppers! NOTE: Some of the math doesn't add up right, but I played each level while writing these and they all seem to add up in the game...weird! *Page 1* Beginning Description: This page in just a training ground for the later levels, it focuses on mini-games and pounding for melons, which includes sniffing. Level 1-1: Treasure Hunt Description: A very straightforward level, you'll meet Poochy for the first time too! Guide: Go forward and hop on the Shy Guy, stomp around here for two coins. Fill up on eggs at the Egg Block and pop the bubble with a melon (1). Take care of any offending Shy Guys and jump to the upper path, take care of the two Shy Guys who are carrying melons - (2) and (3). Go to the lower path when the straight path forks, defeat the Blue Shy Guy who is carrying a melon (4). Go to the upper path and there is a melon in the ground, sniff around (5). Wake up Warp 1 by jumping on her. Stomp to get past the Pak. E Derm and then use the "!" balls to go up a steep wall, a melon (6) will drop down. Since you ate six melons in a row you will get a Heart Fruit. Grab the coins around the Pak E. Derm and stomp on the upper path, there is a melon (7) that will come out. Fall down, collecting the coins as you go, and run past the "?" Block. Go to the lower path and collect the two melons the Shy Guys are holding (8) and (9). Go back to the "?" block and hit it. Finish the race and you'll get 7 melons (10-17). Collect the heart fruit and a giant "Y" of coins will appear, collect them and run ahead, don't forget to wake up Warp 2. Grab the melon (18) the Blue Shy Guy is toting and grab the next Heart Fruit, before the Message Block is a melon in the ground (19). Hop into the vase. If you want some major points go to the upper path after Poochy and shoot an egg at all of those Shy Guys. If you're looking for fruit then pound on Poochy's stake to release him. He will rocket off, follow him. He will stop between two blue background things, sniff around and pound for a melon (20). He will stop a short while later, before a Yellow Shy Guy. Pound again (21). And again before the 'in front of your face Heart' (22). Jump at the heart (Heart # 1) and run after Poochy. Go to the upper path, where Poochy is going, and pound before the heart to find two melons (23) and (24). Grab the Heart Fruit. Pound when Poochy stops under the heart for a platform that lets you get to the Heart better (Heart # 2) and some coins. You don't really need it, but Poochy won't go on if you don't, ok, so he will *eventually. Follow him downhill and he will stop between two blue things again, pound for yet another melon (25). Wake up Warp 3 if you want to. You will see a Mystery Ball in a bubble, break it open to find a Heart Fruit. Use the eggs to kill all of those Shy Guys for MAJOR points. Stomp where Poochy stops to raise a platform that lets you get to the "?" Block better. Hit it and five coins will come out, chase them down and you get a melon (26). Follow him down the lower path to find two more melons, they are above bushes, you'll know when you get there - (27) and (28). Before the path goes up he will stop again, pound there for a platform. Jump on it and shoot an egg at the blue block, grab the Heart (Heart # 3). When Poochy stops between two blue things, again, stomp (29). Only one more to go. Follow Poochy as fast as you can, when the path straightens a melon will fall out of nowhere (30). There we go! High Score Tips: Sniff throughout this level, there are tons of coin hordes, especially around Pak E. Derms and the paths Poochy ignores. Level 1-2: Surprise!! Description: Another straightforward level, the only "surprise" are the balloon baddies near the end of the stage. Guide: Go forward and defeat the Wiggler by jumping on each section, you'll get a melon (1). There is another floating above a yellow pipe not far from here (2). Fill up on eggs at the egg station, and run past the spider. Aim correctly and burst both bubbles, they both hold melons - (3) and (4). Go forward to a tree with Shy Guys on it, pound the ground and when they fall out egg 'em all for lots 'o points! Pound where there are arrows pointing different directions for a melon (5). Pop the Mystery Ball in the bubble to reveal a switch. Trigger it and hop up the clouds it creates, get the Heart (Heart # 1). When you jump you'll probably hit the Wiggler, that means another melon (6). Grab the Heart Fruit and collect the line of coins, wake up Warp 1. Pound the ground right in the middle of the tree to get another melon (7). Beyond the pipe is another wiggler which means another melon (8). After a Message Block there are some blue blocks, bust them open and then hit the Mystery Ball. Go down the vase. Complete the Special Delivery game to get seven melons (8-15). Grab the Heart Fruit, collect coins, and hop down the vase! Do a bit of backtracking and collect the melon above the wiggler, then defeat him - (16) and (17). Go ahead now, collect the Heart Fruit in the bubble and then go to the yellow pipe. Either wait for the effect to wear off or don't get it at all! Get on the yellow pipe and stomp, a Heart will appear (Heart # 2). When the Shy Guys come pouring down take them out too. Keep running until the page flips. Now, run forward and push the Mystery Crate out of the way so you can stomp it for a melon (18). Collect the Heart Fruit and run to the next crate, egg it and defeat the Air Bag for a melon (19). It's useful to be Super Happy because you don't lose any eggs. Stomp the next crate to find another melon (20). Only 10 more to go! Hit the Mystery Ball in the bubble to get a raising platform ghost thingie, press up and collect the Heart (Heart # 3) and the coins. Get the Heart Fruit in the bubble and stomp so all of the Shy Guys and bubbles get out of the way. When you see a crate jump to the ledge, push the 2nd crate ontop of the 1st one for two melons - (21) and (22). Use the blue platforms to get to the next section, hit the crate with an egg and defeat the Air Bag (23). Stomp the crate and get a melon (24). Get the Heart Fruit. The next part is simple, hit the mystery ball in the bubble to get a platform guy. Go up and collect the coins, two Fly Guys are above and they BOTH have melons, grab them - (25) and (26). Go forward and collect the penguins, they are handy for taking on the Air Bag in the next crate (27). Go to the mystery ball in a bubble, knock it to the right side with your tongue. Bust it open and collect the five coins, they will be easy to get since they will all fall into the little aclove (28). Continue and kill the Air Bag (29) and then the Mystery Ball behind the vase has a melon (30). Good job! HighScore Tips: There are lots of coin hordes around here, sniff around! Level 1-3: Rail Lift Description: This is the first stage with moving cloud platforms and large portions of pits, be careful. The long switch chain at the end can be confusing, at the first time, if you don't have this guide. Guide: Go ahead and fill up on eggs, you'll need some. Make your way past the Shy Guys on Stilts by using the "!" balls. You won't see any melons for awhile, but the first one is carried by a Blue Shy Guy (1). The next one is found in a mystery ball (2), don't worry, it has a parachute on it. Pound on the "-->" sign to find another melon (3). Hit the melon in the bubble with your tongue over the ground and break it with an egg, it drops without a 'chute (4). When you get to some "!" balls by a steep wall look up using the control stick, you will see a Mystery Ball high in the air. Break it to reveal a switch, hit it. Use the "!" balls that appear to get to a bunch of clouds with a Bee (Bee 1) and a Heart (Heart # 1). Hit the switch and follow the clouds to the next part. A Fly Shy is carrying a melon (5). Go to the next page. Pound where Poochy is for a melon (6). Get the Heart fruit and hop on the cloud and get the melon below it with your tongue (7). Drop down to the ground and get on the cloud that is circling a line. Hit the red switch with an egg to open the line. You'll get three melons along the way: (8), (9), and (10). Go to the next section. Complete the almost too easy Special Delivery for 7 melons (11-18). Grab the melon by the line (19). Hit the switch with an egg so the track opens and the ball goes away, hit the bubble for a Heart (Heart # 2). Another melon is in a bubble (20). If I were you I would just ignore the next Mystery Ball, but don't forget about it. Hop on the clouds and take a ride, if you fall it means death. There are four easy melons along the way (20-24). At the end jump and get the Heart (Heart # 3). Put your "X" right on the switch and let the egg go, the cloud will come to you. Along the way are another four melons, and the first one will trigger a Heart Fruit (25-27). You can get them even easier, with that long tongue and all. At the end is a melon in a bubble (28). Use Warp 4 to get back to Warp 3, go to the bubble I told you to ignore. Hit it and trigger the switch, run over the clouds and get on the cloud. Hit the switch and the second you think you can get to land, jump! Hit the next switch and let the cloud come to you, when it gets at the high point jump to land, quickly run to the red pipe, there are two melons waiting for you - (29) and (30). Level 1-4: Tower Climb Description: The first vertical stage, lots of cannons, platforms, clouds, and best of all, melons. Guide: Run over to the right and fill your energy with the power flower. Hop onto a helicopter pad and fly up to the ledge with the Egg Block, load up your eggs. A ledge over it has a melon (1). Keep going up until you see Ms. Warp, run to the right of her to trigger some melons for later. Across from Ms. Warp is a tunnel with a melon at the end (2). At the top collect the five coins from the "?" Block to get a melon (3). I usually try to avoid the umbrella, so jump over it. Flutter to a far ledge for another melon (4). Jump to the left and you will land on a ledge with an apple, stomp here for a melon (5). Drop down for the two melons you activated earlier - (6) and (7). Fall and flutter to the melon in a bubble blow the egg block ledge (8). Drop down, and past the blue blocks is a place where there are two cannons and a lucky fruit, pound here (9). Fall and hold right, you will fall on a ledge. Pound here for a melon (10). Enter the wooden door. There are three melons in this room (10- 13). Follow the path until you get to a Mystery Crate, bust it open and head down the pot. Complete the easy mini-game for 7 melons (14-21). When you re-appear use the "!" balls to go up to a ledge with a coin on it, there is a melon in the ground (22). At the top is a Heart (Heart # 1). Fall down to where Poochy is, there are two melons here. One on the ledge with Poochy (23) and one on the Ledge above the Egg Block, with the single coin. Use the "!" balls to reach the narrow exit above. Use the Tulip to go to the upper clouds, three melons and a Heart await (Heart # 2) (23-25). Fall down and land on the ledge with Ms. Warp # 3, enter the door. Jump above a cloud and hold up while fluttering, you will soar high. Along the way is a Heart (Heart # 3) and three melons on clouds, one to the left, the right, and at the end (25-29). Then the final one in a bubble before the pot (30). | |||||||||||||||||||||||

|
*Page 2* Cavern Description: The 2nd page's theme is underground stuff, lava, and pipes. Pretty varied. The first stage is a cave, the 2nd a lava world, the 3rd a pipe level, and the 4th a water pipe level. Level 2-1: Bone Dragon Pit Description: Well, it's basically an underground cave stage. When you see three nippers, pound on the white spot for a melon (1). When you defeat the hordes of nipper spores and nipper you get a melon (2). Go up the hill and defeat the Bone Dragon for loads of coins. When you get to a melon on a spore be careful, jump and lash out the tongue so it hits the melon and NOT a nipper spore, you don't want it going down the brink (3)! Pound where Poochy is for a Heart (Heart # 1). Before the blue blocks there is a white light on the ground, pound for some platforms. Follow them to an Egg Block and a melon (4). Go forward and get the Heart Fruit in a bubble, break open the next bubble for five coins, when collected they yield a melon (5). After Warp 2 is a melon as well (6), and a Bone Dragon that can be difficult to hit. After walking a few feet Lakitu will drop in, reply with an egg and use his cloud to reach a vase above. Enter it with full eggs, defeat the Sub Boss for three melons (6-9). There is a tenth melon in the white space when you drop back down (10). One of the rock creatures is guarding a melon in a bubble (11), and another melon is in the ground before the vase. You guessed it, it's in the white space (12). Hop into the vase. Fall down and destroy all of the blue blocks with eggs, in the next room are two melons - (13) and (14). In the side is a room with two melons in bubbles - (15) and (16). Go below the "platform makers" and follow the path to a ledge with a bubble, hit it to reveal a switch. Hit it and collect the Heart (Heart # 2). Use the platform makers to go to the very top path, fall down the shaft and hold left. Enter the vase. Complete the easy special delivery mini game for seven melons (16-23). Exit the mini game. You will see some coins and a white light, shoot an egg into this to get a melon (24). The rest of the melons are in this next room, either in the platforms with white lights on them or in bubble above a platform (25-30). The 3rd Heart is won from a Sub Boss in a room after this room (Heart # 3). Level 2-2: Blargg's Boiler Description: The first time for lava, if you fall in you die (who didn't know that?). It can get kinda tricky because many bubble hold melons and if you miss them when they fall out they fall into the lava... You can get past all of the Blargg's in this stage by hitting them with an egg. After running for awhile you will come to a bubble with a melon (1). After that there is a Heart below a bone, get on the bone and when it sinks you will collect the Heart (Heart # 1). The 2nd melon is carried by a Fly Shy (2). Shortly after that is a message block, pound near it for another (3). Another Shy Fly is carrying a melon (4). If you miss and eat him the melon will go into the lava! Jump and get the cursor so that it will hit the bubble and Blargg, while fluttering in the air shoot it for a melon (5). The bone platform right after that has a melon below the coin (6). Eat the Heart Fruit and follow the trail of coins, two melons are floating in the air on the long stretch - (7) and (8). The 9th one does NOT have a parachute, better catch it (9)! I suggest getting below it and pushing up when you lick. Go to the end and warp through the pot. Hit the bubble and collect the coins for a melon (10), if you don't get them in one smooth jump they'll go into the lava and be lost. There's a melon in the ground below the hovering coin (11). Hop on the ball and ride it over the lava, you'll get a melon at the end (12). Pound near the Egg Block for treasure (13). This next melon can be difficult to get, it's right over the lava in a bubble without a 'chute...just aim carefully (14). Behind the Blargg is a Heart, when he goes down shoot an egg at it (Heart 2). Behind the bone above the Heart is a melon in the ground, near the bananas (15). Another melon here is difficult to get, it has a parachute but it is dangerously close to the lava and you are on collapsing bones...(16). If you haven't guess it yet, there is ANOTHER MELON IN THE GROUND (17) by the Egg Block...Nintendo went a little crazy with this melon in the ground thing! The next part is the toughest part yet, there are three Shy Flys carrying melons above the air while you are riding the ball. If you miss the melon falls into the lava, aim VERY carefully. (18-20). When you get to the end pound below the blue pipe (21). Enter the pipe and complete the Mini-Game for seven melons, pretty easy really (22-28). Go down the exit pot. Go to the left and be careful of the wandering Blargg, get the melon he is guarding oh so well (29). Go back to the right and get the Heart by standing on the collapsing bone (Heart # 3). Pound near the exit for the final, easy melon (30). Level 2-3: Jelly Pipe Description: Very original, also very short. At the first part jelly hinders your path, stomp and it will go down some. Guide: There are two ways of doing this, I think this way is more straightforward and easy. Run forward and fill up on eggs and energy via the power flower. Hit the "?" Block from underneath ten times (getting a coin for each time) for a melon (1). Pound the ground on the jelly so you can get under the spikes. Go down and push the Mystery Crate against the wall, jump on it and flutter to the top. Get the Heart (Heart # 1) and the melon in the ground near it (2). Go back down and stomp the crate (3). Drop ALL the way down, take a right. When you see the blue slime that you can't see through look at the section to the far left, stomp so you can see a melon (4). Push the Mystery Crate into the slime and a melon will pop out (5). Ignore the exit and look above the message block, there is a "!" ball there, use it to get to the top. Shove the Mystery Crate up there into the slime (6). Follow the path right for a melon (7) and a pot, hop on in. Defeat the Sub Boss for a Heart (Heart # 2). Go back and exit through the hole, or use Ms. Warp. Go back until you get to the place where you fall forever, the first time hold left and flutter to the opening, fall down this separate shaft and hold right for a melon (8). Drop down and get into the tunnel. Go forward and collect the melon in the bubble (9) and head downwards. Hit the mystery ball for five coins, collect them for the 10th melon (10). Head left but ignore Poochy, use the platforms to go up above the mystery crate. Along the way is a melon (11). Push the mystery crate, you will see some boos along the way. Hold down so they go up and above you, collect their melon (12). Push the crate down the platforms and when there is dead space push it all the way down, right into the goo (13). Pay Poochy a visit and stomp where he is for some blue platforms, follow them up. Before jumping up to where the Heart is, stomp for a melon (14). Jump and flutter up there for another melon in a bubble (15). Get the Heart (Heart # 3), it requires an egg because of the blue blocks though. Use the "!" ball and get up, go to the right, this place should look familiar. Get the Boo's booty (16). Hit the blue blocks and get ready for a load of melons. By following the path you will collect five melons, from bubbles and boos (17-22). Get the Heart Fruit and run down the platforms and hit the blue blocks to get to a room with three bubbles, three melons (23-26). Go down and get the melon from the boos (27) and go right to the dead end, pound here (28). Go left to find a crate on a ledge, push it and fall down the shaft. Push it to the other crate for two melons (29) and (30). Level 2-4: Torrential Maze Description: Currents of water will push you down tunnels and you must fight them to collect the tricky melons. At first you won't get much, but at the end you get bunches of them {melons}. Guide: Go forward and load up on eggs, hop up the blue platforms and turn right. Push the two crates together to get two melons (1) and (2). Hop on the copters and ride them up to collect a melon (3). Turn a sharp left to avoid the spikes on the ceiling, go up there and collect the Heart in the aclove (Heart # 1). Jump and flutter up to the tunnel above it, go in. Wait for a ghost platform to appear where you are and when it does QUICKLY climb up and jump over the wall. Below the platform makers is a melon (4). Ride 'em up and then switch over, collect the two melons that come floating down (5) and (6). When you get to the top jump over the barrier and land on a ghost, aim your tongue down to lick a melon (7). Before the ghost vanishes jump up and into the hole, now turn the page. Here you must jump over gaps that lead to death, but the problem is the water. Every few seconds water will come gushing out and try to knock you over, time it right and don't mess around. Ignore the crate and jump up the platforms to go to the upper level. Shoot all of the blue blocks, the last one will hold a switch, trigger it. Push the crate across the clouds and down the hole, it will land in front of the one you ignored. Push 'em together - (8) and (9)! Reload your eggs and continue, I would bust the melon in the bubble because one time I bounced off of it and went "bye bye." At the end is a tunnel, go into it and flip the page! Break open the blue blocks and push the crate over the edge, it will fall into the goo (10). Push the 2nd one into it as well (11). Lots of melons from crates, huh? Fall down the path and watch out for the purple things, water will be pushing you along and the control is now somewhat erratic. At the end are two bubbles, pop them and climb the "!" balls that appear. At the end is a Heart (Heart # 2). Now go back down and go to the end, get the melon in the goo (12). When you appear push the crate over the edge and it will connect with another one, the result is two melons - (13) and (14). Turn left and keep going, go to the upper left hand corner of the screen. Fall down the shaft by the "!" ball, hold right to enter a vine room. At the bottom is a melon (15). Now go back down the shaft, follow the blue platforms and "!" balls to a copter, use it to go up the shaft to find a melon (16). Go back to where you got melons 13 and 14, turn right instead of left now. Go down and follow the path to some brown platforms, look up and jump on the ledge. The ledge with three coins has a melon in it, sniff around (17). Fall down and hit the "?" Block, collect the coins that go to the right so they don't get away. The others will bunch up to the right. Collect them all for a melon (18). When sliding down hop on the next ledge and pop the bubble (19). After falling down a tunnel hold right to get to room with some goo and a melon (20). Fall all the way down to come to a new room, a melon is in the red glop (21). Hop onto the ghosts and get to the thin piece of wood, jump up to get a Heart (Heart # 3). There is another aclove like that with a melon in it (22) but it requires swift fluttering or a nice ghost. Use a ghost (or a flutter) to scale the wall, throw an egg where Poochy is to reveal a Tulip. Shoot yourself at the top and flip the page. Eat both Fly Shys so when you get a Heart Fruit and stomp you don't accidentally eat the fruit they turn into. Shoot an egg, collect the melons, get the Heart Fruit, do one big stomp and collect all eight melons (23-30)! | |||||||||||||||||||||||

*Page 3* | Summit Description: Sky and snow levels Level 3-1: Cloud Cruising Description: At the first part you will need to advance higher by using the snakes, everytime you hop on them they change directions. For example, if you're going up and you hop and land on them they will start going down. Guide: This stage is sooo easy. Hop on the blue snake and collect the three melons in a row (1-3). The 1st cloud (the one to the very left) has a melon, stomp for it (4). Hop on and ride the pink snake, switch to next one. When switching to the 3rd one collect the melon in the air (5). Ride the 3rd snake up to collect two melons (6) and (7). Hit the bubble for a Heart (Heart # 1). Hop on the next blue snake and ride it to the very right (if you're having trouble avoiding the Shy Flys, try an egg), fall down and enter the pot. You'll get to a place where TONS of Shy Flys will charge in at you, destroy them with eggs to get five melons (8-12). Don't worry if you don't get them all in one pass, they'll be back shortly. Make sure none of the fruit they're carrying falls into the middle, you wouldn't want to accidentally eat them! If one does, go left or right and come back, they should disappear. Head into the pot to turn the page again. Hop up the clouds and enter the pipe, pound one of the clouds for a Heart (Heart 2). Go back out to where the dragon is, don't bother collecting any melons though, you'll come back here soon. Along the course you'll see a switch pad, hit it with an egg and go up the platforms that appear, go into the pot. Wait a second or two and another pad will come, hit it and jump on EVERY cloud that appears. By the time you get to the top and collect the Heart (Heart 2) and all the melons, you'll have collected 10 melons (12-22). Go down and down the pot, you'll appear at the dragon. Use him to cross the sky and collect the rest of the melons they are in bubbles and in mid-air. If you need any eggs eat the bees that come your way (22-30). Level 3-2: The Tall Tower Description: A big....um...tower! :) Near the end you'll find lots of spiked balls, and your good ol'e pals the Ravens. Guide: You may want to turn the volume down a bit on this one (ew...nasty music!) to save your sanity. I won't go into details, but before you get to the pot, you should have collected nine melons (1-9) and a Heart (Heart # 1). The next 'grueling' test is the leaf, hop on and go to the next platform, pound for a melon (10). get on the next leaf and ride it to a Mini-Game! Complete the easy Track Event for seven melons (11-17). Use the leaf to get a Heart (Heart # 2) before hoping in the vase. Collect the two melons and then follow the path to find two bubbles side by side - (18) and (19). Hit them both for two melons - (20) and (21). You'll find a melon in a bubble (22) and anther one in the air (23). Soon you'll come to a TeeHee butterfly, behind it are some platforms, sniff around and pound (24). Use the Heart Fruit's powers to get past the Shy Flys, springs, Ravens, and all of that other nasty stuff. Soon you'll come to a large spring, jump and follow the coins to a Heart (Heart # 3). Behind the spring are some platforms, use them to get up the large balls...uh...yeah. There is a melon above one (25). Keep going, and hop on the play dough looking platform, to the left is a melon (26). This next part can be tricky, but it's easy anyways. When the Raven is at the bottom of the ball, hit the "?" Block a few times and a melon will come out (27). Another melon in a bubble (28). Get past the balls and a large spiked ball (too many balls!!) and get on top of the sign, stomp for a melon (29). The final melon is in a bubble before the end...yay (30)! Level 3-3: Poochy And Nippy Description: Every game needs a snow level! Well...it's kinda like a snow level... Guide: Run forward and get on the see saws. Look up and climb the "!" ball for a Heart (Heart # 1). Run some more and be prepared for four Fly Shys that are gonna come in, defeat them all in one egg for a melon (1). Complete the easy Min-Game for seven melons (2-8). Collect the Heart Fruit and run as fast as you can forward and hop on the logs, shoot at the blue blocks, since you have un-limited eggs you won't waste any! A Heart will appear (Heart # 2). Collect the 2nd Heart Fruit from the Fly Shy and collect the coins, go to the log with a bubble near it. Hit it and lash out your extra long tongue to get the melon (9), all while teetering on a see saw. Go into the vase. There is a melon in a bubble above a blue pipe (10). Collect the five coins from the nearby "?" block for another melon (11). Yet another melon can be found by pounding where the Power Flower is (12). Go to the path that Poochy is on, go through the vase. Pound on the Power Flower for another melon (13). A nice Red Shy Guy is carrying a melon, grab it (14). Beware of the constant downpour of bombs from the goonies, if you get hit once you could very well get hit again. A Shy Fly teases you with a melon above (15). Push the crates together for two melons - (16) and (17). Go through the vase that Poochy is by. This next part might get a little confusing, hop on the shortest row of blue blocks. Look to your left and shoot the block that Yoshi is looking at, a melon appears (18). Destroy the top block on the right, and then the new top one. Kill the Shy Guy that appears and destroy the new top one, a melon appears (19). A melon is being toted by a nearby Shy Fly, aim carefully (20). Before going into the vase that Poochy is near, pound where the Power Flower is (21). This next part is easy, push the crate all the way to the other side where the finish line is. When a goonie is coming stop pushing and it's bomb will go slightly in front of you! You reward is a melon (22). Pound on the Power Flower for another melon (23). Hop on a goonie and take a ride, going to the left that is. Along the way will be three melons in bubbles (23-26). Or...you could get below them and flutter jump up and hit them with eggs, you'll get them anyways. Go on the path where...Poochy is! Going down the natural stairs you will see a Flower Power, yeah, you guessed it pound it (27). Collect the masses of coins and hop on a goonie. Above you'll find the rest of the melons and a Heart (Heart # 3) (28-30). Level 3-4: Frustration Description: It's another snow level. The only part where frustration will occur is at the end when you try the mini-game! Guide: Hop on the giant wheel and turn it by running, hop over the gaps and make your way across the gorge. Along the way you'll find a melon (1) and a Heart (Heart # 1). At the end is a staircase, follow it to some teeter totters. Here you will find two melons - (2) and (3). At the end are lots of blue blocks, the uppermost one has a melon too (4). You will once again meet the Shy Flys, kill them all with one egg for a melon (5). Next is a race, hit the "?" Block and hop in the wheel, along the way you will find three melons, plus the seven for the race and that's 10 melons (6-15)! Go through the exit. Go to the upper path and it will make a melon on the lower path appear, just be careful of the two worms (16). Before hopping up the wall pound for a melon (17). Avoid the penguins and push the melon in the bubble over safe ground and then pop it (18). Break the blue blocks and then the bubble for a Heart (Heart # 2). Collect the penguin ammo and then get the melon AND the Heart Fruit in the bubbles (19). While Super Happy break the blue blocks and get the melon, it's easier this way because of the worm (20). Another melon is found above the red pipe (21). At the end of the path is a bubble with a Heart (Heart # 3) and a melon in the ground (22). This next mini-game is the hardest and most insane yet, here's a few tips: Before the paths split make the melons completely straight so you don't have to run forward or backwards, after he passes wait a few seconds, get it leaning forward and run to the end (23-29). Pound where Poochy is for the last melon (30). *Page 4* Jungle Description: Tropical Jungles with all kinds of weird stages. I think this is where Nintendo went insane from the cute, fluffy stuff. Level 4-1: Jungle Hut Description: A large hut place with many side areas where you collect melons. Guide: Very Non-Linear stage here. From the start go right and into the hut. You can find three melons in blue blocks, instead of wasting eggs on them all just stand on top of them and sniff (1-3). One will also appear if you get all of the coins (4). And a fifth one can be found in the back of the hut (5). Go back to the beginning. Go to the left, all the way until you get to a hut. There is one in the back (6). Stomp for a Heart Fruit if you want to. In the hut you can get four melons, three from bubbles and one for collecting all of the coins (6-10). Go back via the lower path. Make your way to the right until you get to some blue blocks, break them open and go through the pipe. Flutter jump to the roof of the hut, a melon awaits you (11). Head into the hut. Four melons can be found in bubbles (12-15). Go up the platforms to the right to go up a pipe and get a Heart (Heart # 1). Hop up and right to another hut. Four melons can be found, three in blocks and one for collecting the coins (16-19). This hut has a ton of Gabons so be careful, lots of balls are rolling all over the place! Go back to the main section via the lower path. Hop up on some platforms to discover a tulip, use it on the upper right hand corner to get a Heart, where you will arrive above another Heart (Heart # 2). Flutter jump to it (Heart # 3). Flutter to the upper section and go left towards the hut. Five melons can be found here, two in bubbles, two by themselves, and one in the back (20-24). Just be careful of the chomps, they can come out of no where and surprise you. Go back to the main section. Jump up to the next platform and go up the green pipe, this is the final hut. Climb to the top being careful not to touch any spiders. At the top is a switch, trigger it and grab the rest of the melons. Be careful, they only last a limited time! (25-30). Level 4-2: Jungle Puddle Description: They should've named THIS level frustration, the last section with the blurps can be VERY frustrating indeed. Guide: Go forward and over the platforms, bust open the first bubble for a Heart (Heart # 1). Dive into the water and collect the three coins, a melon will appear (1). Jump out and get the bubble for another (2). Get back on land and pop open the bubble and collect all five coins that spill out (3). Get back into the water and dive deep for a water melon (4). Go back on land and go to the trio of Mystery Crates, stomp the middle one (5) and push the last two together - (6) and (7). Follow the line of coins from the Heart Fruit that drops down until you see another melon in a bubble (8), which is your cue to dive deep into the water and snatch the Heart (Heart # 2). Near Warp 2 is another bubble melon (9). Go on land and find the switch, hit it and many coins, plus a melon (10), will appear. Collect them all and hop down the vase, it's time for some cussing! Go forward and eat the melon in plain site (11). Push the crate on top to the one on the bottom, be VERY careful when doing this... - (12) and (13). I bet you just got ate by that fish! After walking a little bit a blue fish will replace the red one, this one spits water and attempts to knock you into it's mouth. Hit the bubble and get the coins that come out (14). Then go back and jump into the water, head down the pipe. Complete the pretty tough mini-game for seven melons (15-21). The next three melons are in bubbles (21-24). Then one is in the ground shortly after an Egg Block. Then run and quickly push the crate to the other one, this one really tests your patience because that @#$%^&! blue fish is spitting water and you're pushing the crate at about .01 inches a second, move around a little and you can push it a few feet if you're good. At the end you get two melons - (25) and (26). Then another bubble (27). Pound the ground for another (28). That's funny...I completed the stage...ah, who cares....hehe... Level 4-3: Piranha Grove Description: What, you think they can have a Mario (related to Mario games at least) game without Piranha Plants?! Blasemphy! Guide: Get up the blue platforms and collect six eggs, use them to defeat two piranhas and get four melons from bubbles (1-4). Reload and go to the Mystery Crate, push it to the next, defeating three piranhas (5) and (6). Flip the page! At the second log stomp for a few platforms up to a Heart (Heart # 1). By Warp 2 stomp for a melon (7). After that get the melon that floats by (8). Another one (without a parachute) is in a bubble (9). Go to the egg block and reload, stomp for a melon (10) and hop on the platforms. Ride them up to another bubble (11). Defeat the piranha and hit the "?" Block a few times (12). Get the Heart Fruit and motor it to the next log and stomp (13). Defeat all the piranhas you can, they are very annoying. Get on the platforms and go even higher, stomp on the next log (14). Ride 'em up! Hit the bubble for a Heart (Heart # 2). Hit the next log (25). Jump and follow the coins down. Head down the vase. Defeat all the plants and stomp for a melon (16). Reload your eggs and head for the balls, a melon in a bubble awaits (17). Get on the last ball and roll to the "?" block, hit it and collect the coins that spew out (18). Another one is in a bubble (19). Get the Heart Fruit and kill everything you see! Hop on the ball and ride it down the spikes and stuff, hop into the vase at the end. Defeat all of the piranhas before taking on the Mini-Game, easy melons (20-26). The other three are in melons, the final one by Warp 4. The Heart is also along the way, hit it with an egg (Heart # 3) (27-30). Level 4-4: Neuron Jungle Description: I don't wanna know what Nintendo was drinking when they made this level. Neurons are those big, multicolored creatures that help you "reach new heights." Oh brother... Guide: Go forward and enter the pipe. O.K...Go straight to two Red Neurons, pound one down to collect the Heart (Heart # 1) and then go down and load up on eggs. Jump on the Purple Neuron and collect the melon (1). Go to Warp 1 and stomp near the "<--" sign to get another melon (2). Return to the Blue Neuron, go down to a purple one and get the melon (3). You'll see a big Blue Neuron going back and fourth, get on top of him and hop left, a melon will drop down (4). Continue left to find another Neuron, stomp him down to reveal a path, follow it. The small island with a "-->" sign on it has a melon (5). Above the vase is a melon in a bubble (6), hop down the vase. The trick to this Mini-Game is not to swim, but to flutter jump from the top of the posts. Still, it *might* be possible to swim to the end, but I've never succeeded that way (7-13), exit. Follow the path forward until you see a "?" bubble, hit it to reveal a switch. Activate it and stomp the nearest Neuron, collect the three melons that appeared (14- 16). Go past the fallen neuron to find a path, go left to find a melon in a bubble (17). Head right and stomp the Red Neuron, get the Heart with a well aimed egg (Heart # 2). There are two paths to take, they both have a melon at the end - (18) and (19). There is a melon above an Orange Neuron, before the vase (20). Hop in the wooden boat (you don't have to though) and go through the river, near the end of your ride is a melon (21). Reload your eggs at the Egg Block and go to the long stretch of land. Pound before the Purple Sea Cactus for a melon (22). The next platform has a bubble in it, pop it and get the five coins for a melon (23). After that there is a bubble moving over a big pile of sea cacti, two eggs will do the trick (one to pop the bubble, another to collect the Heart) (Heart # 3). Hop in the water and take a swim, but watch out, some of the cacti will fall down on you! You'll spot a melon, on your way, too (24)! Follow the coin line to a dead end, pound for a melon (25). Defeat all of the frogs in the next area, so they won't interfere. Hit the "?" Block a couple of times and a melon will pop out (26). You'll come to a huge structure that is absolutely CRAWLING with frogs, defeat them all while collecting the coins, the central island has a melon (27) as well. Use the boat to do the next part, it is better because if you get hit you don't fall down the cliff (underwater cliff, that is). You'll get a melon in the air (28) and another is carried by a Shy Fly, aim carefully (29)! The last melon in this level is triggered by collecting all of the coins in the stage, which is rather easy because none of them are in the ground, they're all in the air and such (30).
