Yoshi's Story levels

Surprise!! is the secondlevel ofP. 1-Beginning inYoshi's Story. The level takes place in a large, grassy area lined with many trees. As withTreasure Hunt, there are manyShy Guys lurking in the trees, as well as someSpecial Hearts found high in the sky. This level introducesBalloon Bullies, who can help theBaby Yoshis reach great heights, andspiders, who dangle from webs and attempt to hit the Yoshis. Exclusive to this level areAir Bags, pink, balloon-like enemies that blow gusts of wind once released from theircrates, andFuzzy Wigglers, who, as the name implies, are green, furryWigglers who walk back and forth. The hiddenHeart Coin letter for this stage is O.

Layout[edit]

The first half of the level is filled with many pipes, although they can not be entered. Three Fuzzy Wigglers appear in this part of the level, and amelon is given to the Baby Yoshis when they are defeated. Farther into the level is a hidden! Switch that can create several cloud platforms. The heroes can climb on these clouds to reach a Special Heart. As the Baby Yoshis make their way to the level's midway point, they will also encounter many of the level's spiders, hanging from large trees. They will have to maneuver around these enemies to make their way into another area of the level.

Several crates can also be found in this level, many of which are located after the midway point. Three of these crates contain Air Bags, who can blow the Baby Yoshis away. If they block the Baby Yoshis' path, they will have no choice but to defeat the foe with their eggs.Poochy, the helpful dog from other games in theYoshi franchise, is also present after the midway point, and he can help the heroes find twoHeart Coins in the ground. Not too far between the very end of the level, morefruit can be found, as well as some moving platforms. Another Balloon Bully can also be found just beyond this area, helping the Baby Yoshis reach some Heart Coins. Shortly before the heroes reach the very end of the stage, they can find a family ofHuffin Puffins. The baby Huffin' Puffins can join the Yoshis on their adventure for the rest of the level and be used as boomerang-like projectiles that replace their eggs.
