A Light in the Dark is the secret course of World 3 in Yoshi's Island DS. It takes place in a complex castle lit by many torches. This level's playable Yoshi is the Black Yoshi.
Layout[edit]
Black Yoshi starts the level near a staircase that the player must go up; then he can continue going right after getting to the top to find more stairs to go down. After that, Black Yoshi must then jump over a spike pit, collecting Red Coins along the way. Black Yoshi finds a room inhabited by four Piranha Plants and a flower. A chain is nearby which must then be traversed using Baby DK, he then finds a Middle Ring and accesses Area 2.
After entering Area 2, Black Yoshi has to use rubber balls to bounce to a higher area, then jump over a gap and use the arrow wheel to get past some enemies. Once he gets past them, he can grab a key from the vase. Afterward, Black Yoshi goes down a huge drop and uses the arrow wheel to continue again until he nears a door. The door leads back to the area he began in, and Black Yoshi must use the Stork Stop to continue, switching to Baby Mario. Black Yoshi must then jump into a narrow path, encountering a Middle Ring, a bunch of enemies, and spikes. At the end, Black Yoshi must break another vase to get another key. Black Yoshi must then jump across a long pit to get to a locked door. The player must then enter the door to access Area 3.
At the beginning of Area 3 is a Middle Ring, as well as a hut for Black Yoshi to obtain skis. He then skis down the slope for a while until the end of the skiing area. After skiing, Black Yoshi must jump over a few small ledges and platforms before making it to Area 4.
At the beginning of Area 4, there is a Middle Ring and a few spikes to traverse, Black Yoshi has to dodge Crabbles along the way before reaching the goul roulette.
