Yoshi Pulls Some Strings is the third level of Pastel Pathway in Yoshi's Crafted World. Its name is a play on the phrase "pull the strings", meaning to secretly manipulate a person or situation.

Overview

Front side

The level begins with a small spring leading up to a hanging green string Yoshi can hold on to. It moves to the side, with a trail of Coins Yoshi can collect. After that, Yoshi reaches a wall with a yellow string. Holding on to it makes the wall come down so Yoshi can continue. After a short section with a few Bobbers and an Egg Block is a long red string Yoshi can climb up. This leads to rows of Bobbers Yoshi must bounce on. Yoshi must then climb another string with some Bobbers on the sides to avoid. After pulling down another wall, Yoshi reaches a wingless blue Time Cloud. Hitting it makes Blue Coins appear, which are collected by climbing a red string and bouncing on Bobbers. After that is a large spring, taking Yoshi up to the first Check Point.

Next, Yoshi must grab on to multiple green strings that move to the right when he grabs on. After that, Yoshi must bring down another wall using a yellow string. Inside, Yoshi must climb red strings while avoiding Bobbers swinging on the sides, and then bounce on a row of them. Yoshi can then use a yellow string to bring down a wall in the background, revealing a big spring, taking him to the second Check Point.

After that, Yoshi must use another big spring to get up to a green string to ride like before, this time avoiding Bobbers. Yoshi must then hold on to a yellow string to make a wall blocking the way fall. Inside, Yoshi must use a small spring to get up a large set of breakable blocks, eventually finding another yellow string. Holding on to this string makes a huge wall in the background flip, revealing multiple springs Yoshi can use to get up, taking him to rows of Bobbers he can bounce on. A large spring after that takes Yoshi to one last set of green strings to ride, while dodging Bobbers. Afterward, Yoshi reaches the goal.

Flip side

A large spring appears at the start, which takes Yoshi to the first green string. Green strings now move in the opposite direction from before so Yoshi can still use them. Bobbers still face toward the camera. The light-blue Poochy Pup peeks from a hole at the wall with springs. Yoshi must eat a Shy Guy to the left to throw an egg at it. Walls previously pulled down by yellow strings no longer appear, except the one after the second Check Point that pulls down a wall in the foreground. The black Poochy Pup hangs on to a wire holding a green string's pulley in the part after the second Egg Block. The pink Poochy Pup is found in place of a Bobber in the part after the second Check Point.
