---2. Introduction-----
Hi, this is a guide for Yoshi’s Island DS that tells how to
collect all Character Coins. Only certain babies can
collect each special coin, but I’ll tell you who collects
what! Every stage has a Character Coin. However, all 5
Secret and Extra levels don’t include a coin, and World 5-8
doesn’t have a coin. Since there are 8 normal stages in
each world, and there are 5 worlds, 5x8=40. However, since
5-8 doesn’t have a coin, you’ll have to subtract by one to
know that there are 39 Character Coins throughout the
guide. To organize my guide, I have the Table of Contents
and then the Introduction, which you’re looking at, and
then the controls and then the guide to collecting each
coin, and then the “Thank Yous” of the guide and Credits.

-------3. Character Coins-----
This is the section where I’ll tell you where to get each
Character Coin. Here we go!!!!!!
World 1-1: Ba-dum-Bum!-
-A bit before the goal, you'll find a pipe. Enter the pipe
and then drop to the bottom of the room. Hop up the ledges
on the left to collect the Baby Coin. This Baby Coin is
only visible with Baby Mario.
World 1-2: Hit the M Blocks!-
-Inside the cave, hit the first set of M Blocks to reveal a
bouncer. Bounce off of it to reach the upper area, where
a bunch of Coins are, and a Character Coin are. This coin is only
visible with Baby Peach. On your first visit, you don't have Peach so
make a return trip here to nab it!
World 1-3: Mario's Fleet Feet-
-Once you get Baby Peach, return to the end of this level
and glide through the leaves to fly up to the Character
Coin that only Baby Peach can collect.

through the diagonal winds and reach an area with a Baby

off, ride it until you reach the area after the spikes
where you see Baby Peach's Character Coin to the south.

the flower, and then float back up to the platform.
World 5-5: The Cave That Never Ends-
- When you reach the "down-scroller" with spiked platforms
that can be flipped if the Flipper Blocks are hit, float
down, but hug the left wall to find a secret passage. If

soil, and stand on one of the side soil platforms. Now,
flutter through the coin.
