Hint: Defeating Naval Piranha Plant:
When you arrive in the Boss room where that small plant is located, step on the first block on the platform, then shoot a egg at him. However, do not go further than the first block on the platform or Kamek will appear and turn that small plant to a huge monster.

Hint: Kill shooting flowers:
Stand besides a shooting flower until its smiling face pops out. When it does, quickly eat a yellow ball and spit it out again. Do this repeatedly until all of the balls are gone. When this is done, every time its head pops out, it should be empty and harmless.

Hint: World 1-7: Easy lives:
Pick up a Rollie-Pollie Guy with your tounge. Do not turn him into an egg or spit him out for anyone until you get to the pipe that spits out Shy-Guys. Once there, spit the Rollie-Pollie Guy out into a 1 (square) hole on the right of the pipe. Once placed, jump onto the platform above and to the right of it. Let the Shy-Guys jump out of the pipe and onto the Rollie-Pollie Guy. Points will accumulate and will eventually give you 1-Ups continually. After a few hours, you will have 999 lives.

Hint: World 1-7: Coins:
At the beginning of the level when you see the two flashing brown eggs, get them. Shoot the brown eggs at the two brown spike opponent next to the silver spike opponent and to get two red coins.

Hint: World 1-9: Easy lives:
Grab a Melon Bug (the bug that curls when you approach) and take him to the Shy-Guy Pipe (where the Shy Guys appear from). Look up and shoot the bug. If done correctly, the bug should fall in the tiny space on the right side of the pipe, between it and landscape. Stand on the elevated surface and make sure you have no eggs. The Shy Guys will pop out towards you, but hit the bug. You will keep getting extra lives until you have 100. Then, get a perfect completion on World 5 and you will get the roulette game. If you get the X3; you will get 300 lives.

Hint: World 2-3: Use Star through rest of level:
In World 2-3, What's Gusty Taste Like?, collect the Star and run as far as you can, killing the enemies. Go back and wait for the Star to come towards you. Once it bounces back in another area, collect it and run through the rest of the level, and more Stars will be created. At the end of the level, you can collect Coins and Stars from the brick below the last Star. If you do not want to stop, run back to the left and back to the right again. The Star will appear again.

Hint: World 3-1: Hidden area
There is a location in the water in World 3-1 where you can go beneath a land mass to access a hidden area, by jumping off of a giant spring arrow. If you curve to the side and go above the normal hidden entrance, you should enter an area where you will be falling towards nothing. Keep going right (stay in the air as long as possible) until you reach the edge. You will be teleported to World 1-1 (and gain credit toward World 3-1) where you can gain more red coins and hearts than the maximum. It will only go to the top, but it will be 10 times easier to perfect the level.

Hint: World 3-1: Warp to World 5:
On World 3-1, select any character and fall down the waterfall. There is a door at the bottom. Go inside and find the potion. Throw it near the vase and go inside. Enter the vase, which will warp you to World 5.

Hint: World 4-1: Easy lives:
Go up the first steep hill until you get to three pipes and a Koopa walking around. Two will have Piranha plants and one will be a Shy-Guy generator. Throw away an egg so Shy-Guys will start jumping out. Kill the two Piranha plants, eat the Koopa and stand on the pipe. Spit the Koopa shell towards the Shy-Guys. The shell will bounce between the two pipes, knocking out the Shy-Guys. As soon as ten Shy-Guys are knocked out, you will start getting a 1-Up for each consecutive Shy-Guy. The shell will keep bouncing around, killing the Shy-Guys that pop out. You can get up to 999 lives this way.

Hint: World 4-8: Defeating the monstrous Koopa:
When you see the Koopa turn into a giant Koopa, wait for him to pull himself up or quickly throw an egg on its head. Then, throw eggs on its head three times. This will send him to the ground. While he is on the ground, Ground Pound him before he recovers. Repeat this process three times to defeat it. Note: To obtain more eggs, jump onto his shell or on its head. Eggs will be spit out.

Hint: World 5-4: Free mini-games:
Go to a door on your left. Use a POW block or '?' and go to the door and get the secret code. This code will give you free mini-games when you go to the level selection screen.

Hint: World 6-3: Hidden area:
In the second area of World 6-3, jump and touch the left side of the first spinning log, then float to the right and move up against the wall.

Hint: Naval Piranha's Lair: Full stars:
After you go underground in the pipes with water in them, you will reach a place where you hit the arrows with eggs, and you can get the stuff above the water. One of the info blocks always gives you two stars whenever you hit it with an egg. Since there is an egg block near by, you can do this until you have 30 Stars.

Hint: Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy: Unlimited lives:
Grab a Melon Bug (the creature that rolls up into a ball) and go to the pipe with Shy Guys jumping out of it. Spit the Melon Bug close to the pipe on the left-hand side. When Shy Guys jump out, after a while you will get a '1-Up' for each time a Shy Guy hits the Melon Bug when it is in its melon form.

Hint: Welcome To Cloud World: Followed by eggs:
In this level or any other that has a large fat creature with many following behind it, Ground Pound the large one and the baby ones will follow you as eggs. When you throw one, it will loop and come back to you.

Glitch: Yoshi does flips:
When you find an enemy that you cannot defeat by jumping on them, repeatedly Ground Pound them. It will look as if Yoshi is doing flips on the enemy. Note:You must do this very fast.

Glitch: World 11-1: Free roaming Poochy:
In World 1-11, 'Poochy Ain't Stupid', you can have Poochy free roaming without the scrolling course. At the start of the level, keep jumping on Bats without hitting the 'scrolling course barrier' until you get on top of the wall to the wall that is to the left of you at the start of the level. Once on top, jump and keep doing Yoshi's 'flutter' or 'floating' move until you reach what appears to be an island. Land on it. Then, jump off to the right, fluttering until you reach an island surrounded by lava. Poochy should see you and run over. You now can go through the entire course without the scrolling course freely. The only drawback is if you go under the 'island' (second wall), you will hit the 'scrolling course barrier', then must ride Poochy to the end of the course.

• If you ease your way into Naval Piranha Plant's room, you can hop up on the ledge before the cutscene starts and take it out in one shot. It doubles as a sigh of relief if you are going for a perfect 100 points. Kamek's reaction is priceless ('OH, MY!'). If you do decide to fight Naval Piranha, Kamek will try to do his usual Pre Ass Kicking One Liner, but it comes out less intimidating than some of his earlier ones:
  Kamek: Give it up, Yoshi, you cutie without a navel! Ooopp— Forget it...
• 'Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy'.

  • Try not to crack up at thedistortedtracks that play while Yoshi is dizzy, or the fact they managed to sneak drugs into this game.
• The entire Prince Froggy fight. It begins when Yoshi is shrunken and eaten (the entire time having the most hilarious expression on his face) and after you win, Yoshi goes out the rear. The frog's face as it lies there spasming is side splitting, and Yoshi's same disgusted/disturbed expression as before is priceless.
• Also this exchange in Yoshi's Island DS:
  Bowser: I'll find the babies, and soon that power will be mine, ALL MINE! And so will the entire universe! GWAHAHAHAHA!
  Baby Bowser: ...Wait a second! Are you saying that even when I'm an old geezer, I'll still be trying to take over the universe? Lame!
  Bowser: Shut your trap, squirt!
  Baby Bowser: You can't talk to me that way! You might be bigger than me, but—
  Bowser:GRRRRRRRRRRR! (blows fire at Baby Bowser)
  Baby Bowser:(falling off the castle) Don't think I'll ever forget this! I won't! Not for a million years! Not even when I'm an old geezer like YOU!
  Lemony Narrator: Both Bowser and his knee-high counterpart seem to have forgotten which side they're on.
  • Not to mention, throughout that exchange, Kamek's staring directly at the player with an expression like he's thinking 'Why me?'.
  • The whole idea of Bowser having his baby self kidnapped. Even Baby Bowser feels the need to point out the ridiculousness of the situation.
  • When Baby Bowser grabs onto Kamek's broom for a ride, then loses his grip and falls who-knows-where, the narrator exclaims 'Baby Bowser has vanished! Will we ever see him again? Eh, who cares.'
• Burt the Bashful. To defeat him, Yoshi pulls Burt's pants down until he dies of embarrassment.

  • And in the sequel, Yoshi battle the Burt Bros, who are defeated the exact same way.
  • It happens to him yet again in Woolly World. Only this time, Yoshi unsews his pants with his tongue.
• It's hard to not burst out laughing when Baby Bowser makes his entrance — either at just the sight of him, watching him ground pound Kamek flat and kick him off-screen, or him demanding a ride on Yoshi.
• Most of the bosses in Yoshi's New Island are rather forgettable, but the boss of World 4 is a supersized version of such an obscure enemy that it's hard not to laugh. It's one of those fish skeletons you occasionally see jumping in and out of lava, which only appeared once or twice in the original game.
• In several castle stages, ghosts will pass bombs to one another while they try to drop it on your head. If you do a stomp while that's happening, however, the ghosts will be so stunned by the shock that they accidentally drop the bomb by mistake. They all look shocked and then shake their heads in a truly priceless way while the one with the bomb in its hands will look sad by what just happened.

• The secret finale to 'Yoshi's New Island.' Somehow, Baby Bowser pulled a time warp and made himself Bowser, who is roaring mad and sends Yoshi to his own personal arena.
