Practice is an optional training stage accessed from the main menu inYoshi's Story. Initially, only the greenBaby Yoshi is playable in it, but if the player completes alevel in Trial Mode with a different-colored Yoshi and returns to the Practice mode, that Yoshi is the playable one in it. Visually, it closely resemblesTreasure Hunt, the first full level. Here,Message Blocks instruct the player on the basics of gameplay. Unlike in every other stage, there are fewer than 30melons, so they cannot be solely used to complete it; specifically, there are 24. PressingSTART Button immediately exits the level.
