Tap-Tap's Sunken Cave is a level in Yoshi's Island DS. This cave is inhabited by several Tap-Taps, featuring every variety of them in the game. The level of the water rises and lowers during great parts of the level. The last part of the cave is in a lava area. This level's playable Yoshi is the Red Yoshi.

Layout[edit]

The beginning of the level is a small meadow, inhabiting only a few Tap-Taps. In this screen, Red Yoshi must push a crate onto an orange switch panel; when performed correctly, two metal rods unlock and allow access to a pit. Once the player has entered the pit, Yoshi lands inside a small, dank, watery cave. Here, Red Yoshi finds a Winged Cloud and a Warp Pipe to access a deeper area of the cave; once the Winged Cloud is broken, an ! Switch appears.

In this lower part of the cave, large mobile rocks parade around; Yoshi must avoid these large rocks to continue forth in the level. Red Yoshi eventually finds another warp pipe that leads to an even deeper section of the cave.

In this part of the cave, Yoshi encounters rising water levels. He must avoid multiple Tap-Taps and Gusties to continue in the level.

Once Yoshi makes it past this area of the cave, he enters the final section of the cave. In this section of the cave, Yoshi must be carrying Baby Mario to pass. Yoshi must run at a very high speed from a Super Big Tap-Tap. The Tap-Tap continuously tumbles after Yoshi, destroying the path along its way. If Red Yoshi falls from the path, he lands in a large river of lava. Once Red Yoshi reaches the end of the path, he must Flutter Jump onto a safe area of land, from which he can reach the goal roulette, thus ending the level.
