Hidey-Hole Hooligans is the seventh level of World 2 found in Yoshi's New Island. "Hidey-Hole" is a portmanteau of "Hi-De-Ho," a scat phrase in the Cab Calloway song "Minnie the Moocher," and "hole," referring to the level's name. This level's playable Yoshi is the Red Yoshi, and it introduces Wall Lakitus, Lakitus that inhabit in the background to throw projectiles at Red Yoshi. The level also debuts the Helicopter transformation. This level is the third overall appearance of the Mega Eggdozer and the only appearance of that egg in World 2.
Layout[edit]
Red Yoshi starts the level in a jungle-like area surrounded by breakable blocks and an Egg Block just above. Red Yoshi encounters the first Wall Lakitus surrounded by breakable blocks, who can destroy the blocks when throwing a Spiny Egg at them. In a second area surrounded by breakable blocks and unbreakable stone blocks is a Wall Lakitu and a Winged Cloud that gives out stars. In the first Warp Pipe surrounded by three Wall Lakitus is a room containing coins and a Winged Cloud that contains stars. Defeating the two Wall Lakitus next to the Warp Pipe spawns coins. Red Yoshi can ground pound through breakable blocks to use a Spring Ball, in which it can then swallow the Mega Guy to create a Mega Eggdozer. If Red Yoshi aims the Mega Eggdozer right, it activates the Winged Cloud that gives a 1-UP, bounces off the wall, and destroys all blocks in the path Red Yoshi was in, allowing Red Yoshi to access areas it previously couldn't, such as a Winged Cloud containing stars.
The blue door on the right of the course leads to the Checkpoint Ring and a set of green Flatbed Ferries. The series of Flatbed Ferries take Red Yoshi through the level while a Wall Lakitu throws Spiny Eggs. Past the level's second Smiley Flower are a Fly Guy holding a Red Coin, breakable blocks, and a moving Winged Cloud that gives a 1-UP when hit. At the end of the green Flatbed Ferry segment, Red Yoshi can navigate above and platform across purple Flatbed Ferries, which move against it. Several more Wall Lakitus and breakable blocks are prevalent in this segment. Near the end is a Rock Block that Red Yoshi can break with eggs and holds coins and Red Coins behind it. Nearby is a Whirly Gate which allows Red Yoshi to transform into a helicopter and go through an obstacle course to reach another area. Here waits another Checkpoint Ring and a level segment that requires Red Yoshi to run across breakable blocks that Wall Lakitus below can break through and large Donut Blocks that collapse when Red Yoshi stays on it too long. Red Yoshi encounters a Shy Guy surrounded by breakable blocks, which has a hidden Winged Cloud that spawns coins in the middle of the surroundings. The second Donut Block area has more Wall Lakitus as well as Donut Blocks, breakable blocks, and Rock Blocks, where the Goal Ring lies ahead.
Smiley Flowers[edit]
Smiley Flower 1: Encased in unbreakable stone blocks. Red Yoshi needs to throw a Mega Eggdozer at it to break through and collect the flower.
Smiley Flower 2: In the green Flatbed Ferry segment, where Red Yoshi needs to duck under blocks to access it.
Smiley Flower 3: In the purple Flatbed Ferry segment, where it is surrounded by breakable blocks. Red Yoshi can either use eggs, a Wall Lakitu's projectile, or ground pound through to get it.
Smiley Flower 4: In helicopter obstacle course. Red Yoshi should follow the path of the coins that lead to it.
Smiley Flower 5: At the latter part of the Donut Block area. Red Yoshi needs to activate a Winged Cloud, which spawns the flower and a row of coins and red coins, while quickly collecting them before the Wall Lakitu destroys the platforms.
