Cave of the Nipper Plants
Template:Levelbox Cave of the Nipper Plants is the third level of World 1 in Yoshi's New Island. It takes place mostly underground and features a large number of Nipper Spores and Nipper Plants.
Overview
The level starts on a field with Shy Guys, Item Balloons, Nipper Spores and Nipper Plants. Further ahead lies a pipe that leads into an underground section. On the way to the Checkpoint Ring, there are a number of mushroom platforms, Shy Guys (both on the ground and carried by Item Balloons) and Piranha Plants. Past the ring are more Shy Guys and several Nipper Plants, followed by a wide gap with mushroom platforms and a pipe that leads back above the ground. Here, there are a few more Nipper Plants, a Shy Guy floating with an Item Balloon and a Whirly Fly Guy before a stretch leading to the level's Goal Ring.
Smiley Flowers
Smiley Flower 1: Hidden Winged Cloud located among the Item Balloons at the start of the level. A trail of coins leading to it will appear if Light-Blue Yoshi hits another Winged Cloud at the right.
Smiley Flower 2: After a pipe that produces yellow Shy Guys, there are three Winged Clouds, the middle of which contains the second Smiley Flower. There is a row of blocks under it; after revealing it, Light-Blue Yoshi must hit it with an egg, spat out enemy, or jump off an enemy to collect it.
Smiley Flower 3: In an area accessed via a pipe just after the previous area. Here, Light-Blue Yoshi must be navigated through a series of Nipper Spores and missile-dropping Item Balloons and reach a dead end, where he can reveal a hidden Winged Cloud by tossing an egg into a trail of coins that reflects off the wall. He must then hit the cloud to reveal the Smiley Flower.
Smiley Flower 4: In an area with four mushroom platforms over a pit, before the pipe that leads above the ground, Light-Blue Yoshi must step on the red mushroom platform to make the fourth Smiley Flower appear under the adjacent blue mushroom. He can then ricochet an egg off the ledge in front of him to hit and collect the flower.
Smiley Flower 5: In a block enclosure above the pipe near the end of the level. Light-Blue Yoshi must first drop a nearby spring ball onto the ground, either by popping the Item Balloons that carry it with eggs or simply jumping off an enemy to it. He must then bounce off the spring ball to reach the Smiley Flower.
