Make Eggs, Throw Eggs
Make Eggs, Throw Eggs is the first stage Yoshi must pass in the events of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake, Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island. Since it was the first level of the game, it served pretty much as a tutorial of Yoshi's abilities and gameplay in general, in which the player learns how to play the game. For this reason, the level was considerably easy and short, even for the average gamer. Before this stage, there was a very short level in which the game teaches the player the basics about Baby Mario: To always keep him on Yoshi's back, and to grab him by touching him if anything happened, like touching an enemy. Ba-dum BUM!, the first level in Yoshi's Island DS resembles this level.
As the level starts, Yoshi will find himself in a field. There will then be an Hint Block, telling players how to make eggs (lick it up and then press down.). Two Shy Guys and a Crazee Dayzee will be walking a few steps forward, along with a platform with another one. Upon advancing a bit more, the player will encounter their first Special Flower. Just next to it will be a Piranha Plant, which Yoshi must jump and dodge. There will be a Winged Cloud not far away from it. The player must hit it with an egg, making some small platforms appear. After the player climbs up, he or she can collect several coins, as well as another Special Flower and some stars. Once the player is back down, he or she will find two Piranha Plants blocking a pipe. The player must hit them both or just one of them (preferably the lower one) and enter the pipe. Yoshi will sink down into a cave. In this underground area, Yoshi will have to use a Chomp Rock and collect the coins all over the place. After going forward for a while (and collecting another Special Flower), Yoshi will stumble upon a Winged Cloud. He must hit it for a beanstalk to appear. The player will now use it to climb and continue. After climbing it, the player may go left to encounter a Special Flower. After that, the player may jump down and fall on the ledge of the platform below for a new, hidden Winged Cloud to appear, which will uncover the last stars needed for the level. After that, the player should climb the beanstalk again and continue right (collecting the last red coins) and to the finish.
In-Game Help Instructions (Remake)
- Grab an enemy with B, then press down on the Control Pad to make an egg. Now try throwing the egg. Press R!
- (After grabbing first Special Flower) Special Flower. Gather 5 for a 1-UP! They add to your point total.
- Press R once, and the aiming cursor will begin to move. Press R again to throw the egg! When you find a [cloud with a question mark on it], hit it with an egg. Cool stuff will happen! To cancel the throw, press Down on the Control Pad.
- A Chomp Rock is a useful thing... Push it to make it roll, bowling over your enemies. If it gets stuck, stand on one edge to make it roll again.
- In each level, 20 red coins are hidden among the yellow ones. They each add 1 point to your total points.
Trivia
- A glitch exists here that can be done in both the SNES version and GBA version. Just before the first Shy Guy-emitting pipe, stand the left of the rotating platform, not on it. The fourth Piranha Plant will be small, but chomping. A weird glowing shadow will be near it.
- After collecting the last two red coins, the player can make Yoshi jump over the Chomp Rock and push it back. It will fall down and land below the beanstalk. Yoshi can then push the Chomp Rock toward the Shy-Guy producing Pipe to reveal a hidden Winged Cloud (that cannot be revealed by Yoshi, this must be done with the Chomp Rock). Popped with an egg, it will give Yoshi a 1-Up.
- This is the only level that isn't a secret level where there is no Middle Ring.
