'''Tap-Tap The Red Nose's Fort''' is the sixth and final mini-boss castle in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. This level's playable [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] is the yellow Yoshi.

==Layout==
The majority of the course consists of finding a [[key]] through a [[Warp Pipe]] maze, as the pipe to the way out is locked (actually, stuffed with a [[cork]]). Upon entering the maze, [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] exits the sewers through a [[Warp Pipe]] on the ground floor.

The key turns out to be guarded by a [[Slime]] on the lower first floor of the maze on the left side. Once Yoshi defeats the Slime (which requires all of his [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s), he can take the key and travel back up to the pipe and venture on.

Yoshi will then find himself on two obstacle courses over [[lava]], which he must cross using first a wheel of spinning platforms, then a small log. Finally after the final [[Checkpoint Ring|Middle Ring]], Yellow Yoshi enters the Warp Pipe to the battle of the fort.

[[Kamek]] will scream at Yellow Yoshi for making so much progress and "resize" a [[Tap-Tap]].

While [[Tap-Tap the Red Nose]] is jumping around the arena, Yoshi will notice that the bridge over the lava is made of unstable blocks. He then pelts them with Yoshi eggs until a gap appears. Yoshi waits for Red Nose to jump at him, only to fall into the gap in the bridge. Yoshi then progresses onto the last four levels of the game.

==Trivia==
*If Yoshi does a Ground Pound on the cork that requires a key to remove, the cork will get further pressed down.
*This is the only level in the game to have a boss, but no boss door. Instead, the boss room is accessed through a [[pipe]].
