Shy-Guys On Stilts

Shy Guys on Stilts is the sixth level of World One and overall of the games Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island. It is the first level in which Stilt Guys are seen, and also the first level in which the player can find Flashing Eggs. This is also the first level with Fang on it.

Overview

The level starts off in a simple field. The player soon encounters his or her first Stilt Guys, which must be jumped on twice (or be jumped and eaten) to be defeated. Three of these are strolling in the field. Once the player reaches the far right, he or she can jump to the above wooden platform and before going through through the pipe, jump up to reach a door. Upon entering this door, the player finds two Flashing Eggs, a Yellow Egg and three Shy Guys. The player can also jump even higher to reach a secret ? Cloud containing some stars. Once the player exits, he or she should enter the pipe.

Inside there is a small, dark cave. The player must use his or her jumping skills to grab coins, stars and proceed. The player should try to collect the Special Flower and the coins scattered around. The player finds his or her way outside once again by riding a yellow platform.

Outside the tunnel.

Once outside, the player should make sure to flutter jump and collect the red coins just above. As the player continues the way, he or she bumps into several other Stilt Guys. The player should either ignore them or eat them for eggs. There is a point in which Yoshi walks over a bridge of sorts and notice a Special Flower below. To obtain it, the player must Ground Pound the pole at the start of the "bridge" and make sure to eat all Stilt Guys. Once the player does that, he or she should grab the Special Flower and coins with ease. Upon proceeding, the player spots a ? Cloud. While optional, the player should hit it for a secret entrance to show up. If the player takes it, Yoshi has the chance to morph into the Mole Tank and dig for two red coins hidden in the level. After grabbing them, the player may leave and appear just where she or he was. After that, the player should ground pound one of the two poles to collect the Special Flower and throw an egg at the Piranha Plant for a red coin. If the player keeps going forward, he or she enters a new Underground Area.

Once again, this cave is quite dark. Fangs appear in the game for the first time here. As the player goes forward, he or she finds a red platform. The player must make sure not to fall, as he or she does not get another opportunity to ride this moving platform because it never appears again. Once the player gets to the top, he or she must throw an egg at the wall and make it bounce to grab the Special Flower. There is an infinite supply of Lantern Ghosts, so the player can retry. Once back down, the player must head to the far right and throw an egg at the ? Cloud to make a giant sunflower appear. Then, the player should climb it to get out of the cave.
