(3) THE STORY
This story happened a long long time ago...
This is a story about a baby and Yoshi...
A stork hurries across the dusky, pre-dawn sky. In his bill, he
supports a pair of twins who are to be delivered to their parents as
soon as possible.
Suddenly, something appears between the clouds and races towards the
stork with blinding speed!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(4)
“SSCCRREEEEECH!!!”, it screams. “These babies are mine!”
Snatching only one baby, the creature vanishes into the darkness from
whence it came.
Oh no! The second baby falls undetected towards the open sea...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(5)
The kidnapper is Kamek, an evil Magikoopa from the Koopa Kingdom.
Having divined last night that twin babies born this morning will bring
disaster to the Koopa family, he arranged for an early morning ambush.
Returning to his castle, Kamek realizes that he missed the other baby.
He orders his toadies.
“Go forth and find the other baby!! Don’t let his parents get him
back! Ever!!”
Meanwhile, the second baby does not fall into the sea after all...it
lands safely on Yoshi’s back! And right after him drops a map!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(6)
This paradise is Yoshi’s Island. And on this island lives lots of
different Yoshies. These Yoshies are naturally laid back and relaxed,
but this is a calamity and everyone is in a state of panic. As the
Yoshies frantically yell over each other, the baby insistently points
at something.
Yes! The baby can sense the other baby’s location. All the Yoshies
quickly agree to help carry the baby to its destination by using a
relay system not unlike the old pony express.
The Green Yoshi draws first honors.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(11) THE BASIC RULE
If you get struck baby Mario will fall off your back. Watch the timer!
To clear a Stage, jump through the GOAL! Ring, and pass baby Mario on
to the next Yoshi.
If baby Mario becomes separated from Yoshi, the Countdown Timer will
begin. You only have a short time to reunite Yoshi and baby Mario
before baby Mario is swept away by Kamek’s toadies.
Do not allow the Timer to reach 0...
HELPFUL TECHNIQUES
When baby Mario floats way up, you can hit him with an egg to bring him
closer. Additionally, Yoshi can hit him with his tongue by shooting
his tongue upwards.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(12)
Increase the Countdown Timer by gathering Stars. You may collect up to
30.
The Countdown Timer starts at 10.
If the Countdown Timer drops below 10, it will recover slowly after you
grab hold of baby Mario again.
The Timer will only recover up to 10.
The Middle Ring
There are Rings (see the picture on the right) throughout each Stage.
These Rings allow you to continue from said point if you fail before
completing the Stage.
Jumping through the Middle Ring activates it and gives you an
additional 10 Stars.
If your game ends before you complete the Stage, then you have to start
from the beginning of the Stage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(13)
BASIC ITEMS

There are coins everywhere. Collect 100 for a 1up.
Red Coins:
There are 20 red coins hidden among the regular coins per Stage. Grab
them all for the high score. These coins also count as regular coins.

eggs. When any egg (except for the Green ones) is used, items will
appear.

Coin 2 Stars Red Coin
Flowers:
There are 5 flowers in each Stage. Collect all 5 for a 1up. They are
worth big points.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(14) THE GOAL AND THE SCORE
It is difficult to get a perfect score of 100 points in any Stage. At
first your objective should be to simply clear the Stages.
When you jump through the GOAL! Ring, baby Mario is passed on to the
next Yoshi. This also activates the Goal roulette. (Refer to page
15.)

When you reach the goal, the score board will be displayed. And the
score will be calculated. Here is the scoring method used:

of 50 pts.)

The score is also displayed on the Pause Screen. The perfect score is
100 pts.

to flip all the cards, you will receive a special bonus gift. [You
get] Nothing for Kamek’s toadies’ card.
Match Cards

cards which match. Collect those items and receive a bonus gift by
