- Mini Editorial -
This guide is for the select few who can actually appreciate what
Nintendo did with Yoshi's Story for the N64. They made a game that
toddlers can enjoy AND a game that older gamers could enjoy. But for
some strange reason almost no one has caught on to this, they all say
it's too easy. HA! I say, have you collected all of the melons?! Have
you even tried? Do you EVEN know what I'm talking about? I didn't think
so, this guide is for showing all of the melons, hearts, heart fruit,
coins, and all of that other stuff, it's also a way to get a good High
Score! Well, let's cut to the chase...

Version 1.1
Revision History:
June 15th - Basically, I changed lots of mistakes, fixed a few sections,
and added a Code List, which has the locations of Black Yoshi, White
Yoshi, Purple Yoshi, and all of the White Shy Guys...plus a few other
goodies.
March 21st - Well, I changed the font. Spellchecked everything...that's
it.
God knows when - This is the first version so there aren't any!

-------------------------
1) Basics
-------------------------
-Story Mode-
Story Mode is what you would call the 1 player part, well actually
everything is 1 player but that's beside the point. Each world is
represented by a page in a six page book, the book being the game of
course. Each page has 4 levels, regular 2D, side-scrolling fun. You can
only play 1 level per page in one game. So an entire game is six levels,
pretty short you must admit.
At the first page you can select any of the four levels, after that it
takes a Star Fox 64 like path. In each level there are hearts, if you
collect one you can pick one more stage in the next page. Collect all
three in a world and you can select from any of the four levels in the
next page. When you first buy YS (like I did) I would suggest going to
all of the levels because then you can play them all in Trial Mode
(we're getting to that soon). I try to avoid Story Mode because of the
terrible singing (you'll see)  and the fact you can only play six levels
per game. This is why I usually only play....
-Trial Mode-
In this mode you can play any levels you have completed in Story Mode.
Try playing them all in a row, whew! Doesn't seem so short now does it?
=) There are 24 levels in all, and that should be your goal. What the
creators intended this to be is a mode to get High Scores. You can do
that, but I usually play this all of the time because there's absolutely
NO singing, sucky endings, dumb level branching, or crazy pop up books!
Amazing, isn't it? :)
-Practice Mode-
This mode takes you to an "almost level level." It teaches the basic
techniques of the game. There are melons here, but I don't *think* you
can get 30 of them, who knows?
-Controls-
Jump: A
Flutter Jump: Hold 'A' while in the air, to make it even longer press
'A' after you hear his grunt
Lick: 'B' - you can use the control stick to make it go diagonal, up,
down, or the default, sideways.
Stomp: Press down on the control stick while in the air
Sniff: 'R' - use this to look for hidden places in the ground and/or
air.
Throwing Eggs: Press 'Z' to bring up the cursor and then press 'Z' again
to launch an egg, the egg will not go beyond the "X." Control the "X"
with the control stick, you can make it go as far or as close as you
want.
Walking/Running: Use the control stick, there is really no need to walk
as far as I know.
Ducking: Press down on the control stick and Yoshi will duck, good to
use in tight situations. You can walk while in this mode, ever so
slowly.
-Throwing Eggs-
When you throw an egg it will stop at the "X" so be sure to control the
"X" with the control stick. When an egg hits a wall or the "X" it will
explode and cause a small radius of fire, it looks like fireworks. This
explosion can defeat baddies, blow up blocks, and pop bubbles. Of
course, a direct hit with an egg will do the same. The radius of the
explosion is caused by how healthy you are, so if you're about to die it
is very small, while if you're 100% the radius will be large. Remember
this.
-Sniffing for Secrets-
Some levels have lots of secrets in the ground while others do not.
Press 'R' and the camera will zoom in and Yoshi will start sniffing,
walk around and when Yoshi starts to rapidly sniff you're getting close
to a spot. When an "!" appears over his/her head move VERY slowly until
Yoshi starts to hop up and down and wave at you, stomp there to find a
secret. It may be coins, a melon, fruit, a bubble, switches, or even
maybe a Heart.
-Mini Games-
In most levels, you will face a Mini Game. In all of them, if you win,
you get seven melons.
Track Meet:
Run to the end to win, your path it usually full of things to hinder
your way. The chomp window above shows you the amount of melons you will
get at certain times...kinda.
Special Delivery:
Remember playing that old Charlie Brown game on the SNES where you had
to balance a bunch of pizza boxes? Same thing, just harder. For most of
the game. this is a piece o' cake! But the last few
levels...well...they're a @#$%^&!
Long Jump:
This is REALLY hard if you haven't mastered the flutter jump, otherwise
it's pretty easy.
--------------------------------------------
2) Tips, Tricks, and Secrets
--------------------------------------------
This is going to be a numbered list
1. If you fall off a platform over a bottomless pit, flutter the best
you can and you might be able to get back on the platform or at least on
solid ground. I've saved myself a lot of lives this way.
2. Conserve your eggs, Egg Blocks are spread far apart. Instead of using
an egg to defeat a baddie try a hop, or a stomp, or a lick, try
everything.
3. There are two different colored Yoshi's that are hidden in Story
Mode, Black and White. They like all fruit, all shy guys, their
explosions from eggs are really big, and last but not least, they like
peppers.
4. While Super Happy be careful of where you pound the ground, you
wouldn't want to turn Shy Guys into fruit therefor losing the possible
points you couldn't got from them!
5. Yoshis have their favorite fruit, although I only eat melons (cough,
cough! Take a hint people!). All Yoshi's love melons as well.
Green - Water Melons
Yellow - Bananas
Red - Apples
Pink - Apples
Blue - Grapes
Light Blue - Grapes
Black - Anything, including peppers
White - Anything, including peppers
All Yoshi's like melons too, plus you get a 100 point bonus
6. If you find any White Shy Guys, take it to the end. It serves as a
1-up of sorts.
7. You can use Bomb-ombs as eggs, plus they bounce off walls like the
eggs in Yoshi's Island. They explode on contact, just don't tow them too
long, or they'll "explode on contact" on you!
8. Going for the best possible score in Trial Mode can be a difficult
task, especially because everything counts. Here is a table for your
pleasure!
Fruit...... The points you get here are from the fruit you get. This
score should always be around 1395 because of the melons.
Enemies....This is the amount of points from enemies, there are many
tricks for getting this high, mainly for Shy Guys.
Coins......You get one point per coin, collect as many as possible. When
you get a heart fruit you get coin letters.
Hearts.....100 points per heart, three per stage. 300 points.
Melons.....100 per melon, 3,000 points!
Yoshis.....100 points for each Yoshi that is still alive, 600 points
max.
9. Here is the Shy Guy trick I was talking about above. If you eat a Shy
Guy you  get 1 point, if you eat a Shy Guy that is your favorite you get
three points. If you hop on or egg a Shy Guy you get 2x as many points,
six points if it's a favorite. Destroy many Shy Guys with one egg and
you get tons of points!
10. I forgot to mention, favorite Shy Guys are the same color as your
Yoshi (Red likes red, Blue likes blue, etc.). You can change the color
of a Shy Guy by pounding the ground near it, blue, green, yellow, and
red (not the order). Black and White Yoshi's like all Shy Guys,
including black.
----------------------
3) The Guide
----------------------
When you find a melon I will list it as (number goes here)
When you find a Heart I will list it as (Heart # "number goes here")
It's off to the guide now! Remember, all of this is melons, no grapes,
watermelons, bananas, apples, or peppers!
NOTE: Some of the math doesn't add up right, but I played each level
while writing these and they all seem to add up in the game...weird!
*Page 1*
Beginning
Description:
This page in just a training ground for the later levels, it focuses on
mini-games and pounding for melons, which includes sniffing.
Level 1-1: Treasure Hunt
Description:
A very straightforward level, you'll meet Poochy for the first time too!
Guide:
Go forward and hop on the Shy Guy, stomp around here for two coins. Fill
up on eggs at the Egg Block and pop the bubble with a melon (1). Take
care of any offending Shy Guys and jump to the upper path, take care of
the two Shy Guys who are carrying melons - (2) and (3).
Go to the lower path when the straight path forks, defeat the Blue Shy
Guy who is carrying a melon (4). Go to the upper path and there is a
melon in the ground, sniff around (5). Wake up Warp 1 by jumping on her.
Stomp to get past the Pak. E Derm and then use the "!" balls to go up a
steep wall, a melon (6) will drop down. Since you ate six melons in a
row you will get a Heart Fruit.
Grab the coins around the Pak E. Derm and stomp on the upper path, there
is a melon (7) that will come out. Fall down, collecting the coins as
you go, and run past the "?" Block. Go to the lower path and collect the
two melons the Shy Guys are holding (8) and (9). Go back to the "?"
block and hit it.
Finish the race and you'll get 7 melons (10-17). Collect the heart fruit
and a giant "Y" of coins will appear, collect them and run ahead, don't
forget to wake up Warp 2. Grab the melon (18) the Blue Shy Guy is toting
and grab the next Heart Fruit, before the Message Block is a melon in
the ground (19).  Hop into the vase.
If you want some major points go to the upper path after Poochy and
shoot an egg at all of those Shy Guys. If you're looking for fruit then
pound on Poochy's stake to release him. He will rocket off, follow him.
He will stop between two blue background things, sniff around and pound
for a melon (20). He will stop a short while later, before a Yellow Shy
Guy. Pound again (21). And again before the 'in front of your face
Heart' (22). Jump at the heart (Heart # 1) and run after Poochy.
Go to the upper path, where Poochy is going, and pound before the heart
to find two melons (23) and (24). Grab the Heart Fruit. Pound when
Poochy stops under the heart for a platform that lets you get to the
Heart better (Heart # 2) and some coins. You don't really need it, but
Poochy won't go on if you don't, ok, so he will *eventually.
Follow him downhill and he will stop between two blue things again,
pound for yet another melon (25). Wake up Warp 3 if you want to. You
will see a Mystery Ball in a bubble, break it open to find a Heart
Fruit. Use the eggs to kill all of those Shy Guys for MAJOR points.
Stomp where Poochy stops to raise a platform that lets you get to the
"?" Block better. Hit it and five coins will come out, chase them down
and you get a melon (26).
Follow him down the lower path to find two more melons, they are above
bushes, you'll know when you get there - (27) and (28). Before the path
goes up he will stop again, pound there for a platform. Jump on it and
shoot an egg at the blue block, grab the Heart (Heart # 3). When Poochy
stops between two blue things, again, stomp (29). Only one more to go.
Follow Poochy as fast as you can, when the path straightens a melon will
fall out of nowhere (30). There we go!
High Score Tips: Sniff throughout this level, there are tons of coin
hordes, especially around Pak E. Derms and the paths Poochy ignores.
Level 1-2: Surprise!!
Description:
Another straightforward level, the only "surprise" are the balloon
baddies near the end of the stage.
Guide:
Go forward and defeat the Wiggler by jumping on each section, you'll get
a melon (1). There is another floating above a yellow pipe not far from
here (2). Fill up on eggs at the egg station, and run past the spider.
Aim correctly and burst both bubbles, they both hold melons - (3) and
(4). Go forward to a tree with Shy Guys on it, pound the ground and when
they fall out egg 'em all for lots 'o points! Pound where there are
arrows pointing different directions for a melon (5).
Pop the Mystery Ball in the bubble to reveal a switch. Trigger it and
hop up the clouds it creates, get the Heart (Heart # 1). When you jump
you'll probably hit the Wiggler, that means another melon (6). Grab the
Heart Fruit and collect the line of coins, wake up Warp 1. Pound the
ground right in the middle of the tree to get another melon (7). Beyond
the pipe is another wiggler which means another melon (8).
After a Message Block there are some blue blocks, bust them open and
then hit the Mystery Ball. Go down the vase. Complete the Special
Delivery game to get seven melons (8-15). Grab the Heart Fruit, collect
coins, and hop down the vase!
Do a bit of backtracking and collect the melon above the wiggler, then
defeat him - (16) and (17). Go ahead now, collect the Heart Fruit in the
bubble and then go to the yellow pipe. Either wait for the effect to
wear off or don't get it at all! Get on the yellow pipe and stomp, a
Heart will appear (Heart # 2). When the Shy Guys come pouring down take
them out too. Keep running until the page flips.
Now, run forward and push the Mystery Crate out of the way so you can
stomp it for a melon (18). Collect the Heart Fruit and run to the next
crate, egg it and defeat the Air Bag for a melon (19). It's useful to be
Super Happy because you don't lose any eggs. Stomp the next crate to
find another melon (20). Only 10 more to go! Hit the Mystery Ball in the
bubble to get a raising platform ghost thingie, press up and collect the
Heart (Heart # 3) and the coins.
Get the Heart Fruit in the bubble and stomp so all of the Shy Guys and
bubbles get out of the way. When you see a crate jump to the ledge, push
the 2nd crate ontop of the 1st one for two melons - (21) and (22). Use
the blue platforms to get to the next section, hit the crate with an egg
and defeat the Air Bag (23).
Stomp the crate and get a melon (24). Get the Heart Fruit. The next part
is simple, hit the mystery ball in the bubble to get a platform guy. Go
up and collect the coins, two Fly Guys are above and they BOTH have
melons, grab them - (25) and (26). Go forward and collect the penguins,
they are handy for taking on the Air Bag in the next crate (27). Go to
the mystery ball in a bubble, knock it to the right side with your
tongue. Bust it open and collect the five coins, they will be easy to
get since they will all fall into the little aclove (28). Continue and
kill the Air Bag (29) and then the Mystery Ball behind the vase has a
melon (30). Good job!
HighScore Tips: There are lots of coin hordes around here, sniff around!
Level 1-3: Rail Lift
Description:
This is the first stage with moving cloud platforms and large portions
of pits, be careful. The long switch chain at the end can be confusing,
at the first time, if you don't have this guide.
Guide:
Go ahead and fill up on eggs, you'll need some. Make your way past the
Shy Guys on Stilts by using the "!" balls. You won't see any melons for
awhile, but the first one is carried by a Blue Shy Guy (1). The next one
is found in a mystery ball (2), don't worry, it has a parachute on it.
Pound on the "-->" sign to find another melon (3).
Hit the melon in the bubble with your tongue over the ground and break
it with an egg, it drops without a 'chute (4). When you get to some "!"
balls by a steep wall look up using the control stick, you will see a
Mystery Ball high in the air. Break it to reveal a switch, hit it. Use
the "!" balls that appear to get to a bunch of clouds with a Bee (Bee 1)
and a Heart (Heart # 1). Hit the switch and follow the clouds to the
next part. A Fly Shy is carrying a melon (5). Go to the next page.
Pound where Poochy is for a melon (6). Get the Heart fruit and hop on
the cloud and get the melon below it with your tongue (7). Drop down to
the ground and get on the cloud that is circling a line. Hit the red
switch with an egg to open the line. You'll get three melons along the
way: (8), (9), and (10). Go to the next section.
Complete the almost too easy Special Delivery for 7 melons (11-18). Grab
the melon by the line (19). Hit the switch with an egg so the track
opens and the ball goes away, hit the bubble for a Heart (Heart # 2).
Another melon is in a bubble (20). If I were you I would just ignore the
next Mystery Ball, but don't forget about it. Hop on the clouds and take
a ride, if you fall it means death. There are four easy melons along the
way (20-24). At the end jump and get the Heart (Heart # 3).
Put your "X" right on the switch and let the egg go, the cloud will come
to you. Along the way are another four melons, and the first one will
trigger a Heart Fruit (25-27). You can get them even easier, with that
long tongue and all. At the end is a melon in a bubble (28). Use Warp 4
to get back to Warp 3, go to the bubble I told you to ignore.
Hit it and trigger the switch, run over the clouds and get on the cloud.
Hit the switch and the second you think you can get to land, jump! Hit
the next switch and let the cloud come to you, when it gets at the high
point jump to land, quickly run to the red pipe, there are two melons
waiting for you - (29) and (30).
Level 1-4: Tower Climb
Description:
The first vertical stage, lots of cannons, platforms, clouds, and best
of all, melons.
Guide:
Run over to the right and fill your energy with the power flower. Hop
onto a helicopter pad and fly up to the ledge with the Egg Block, load
up your eggs. A ledge over it has a melon (1). Keep going up until you
see Ms. Warp, run to the right of her to trigger some melons for later.
Across from Ms. Warp is a tunnel with a melon at the end (2). At the top
collect the five coins from the "?" Block to get a melon (3).
I usually try to avoid the umbrella, so jump over it. Flutter to a far
ledge for another melon (4). Jump to the left and you will land on a
ledge with an apple, stomp here for a melon (5). Drop down for the two
melons you activated earlier - (6) and (7). Fall and flutter to the
melon in a bubble blow the egg block ledge (8). Drop down, and past the
blue blocks is a place where there are two cannons and a lucky fruit,
pound here (9).
Fall and hold right, you will fall on a ledge. Pound here for a melon
(10). Enter the wooden door. There are three melons in this room (10-
13). Follow the path until you get to a Mystery Crate, bust it open and
head down the pot. Complete the easy mini-game for 7 melons (14-21).
When you re-appear use the "!" balls to go up to a ledge with a coin on
it, there is a melon in the ground (22). At the top is a Heart (Heart #
1).
Fall down to where Poochy is, there are two melons here. One on the
ledge with Poochy (23) and one on the Ledge above the Egg Block, with
the single coin. Use the "!" balls to reach the narrow exit above.
Use the Tulip to go to the upper clouds, three melons and a Heart await
(Heart # 2)  (23-25). Fall down and land on the ledge with Ms. Warp # 3,
enter the door. Jump above a cloud and hold up while fluttering, you
will soar high. Along the way is a Heart (Heart # 3) and three melons on
clouds, one to the left, the right, and at the end (25-29). Then the
final one in a bubble before the pot (30).
*Page 2*
Cavern
Description:
The 2nd page's theme is underground stuff, lava, and pipes. Pretty
varied. The first stage is a cave, the 2nd a lava world, the 3rd a pipe
level, and the 4th a water pipe level.
Level 2-1: Bone Dragon Pit
Description:
Well, it's basically an underground cave stage.
When you see three nippers, pound on the white spot for a melon (1).
When you defeat the hordes of nipper spores and nipper you get a melon
(2). Go up the hill and defeat the Bone Dragon for loads of coins. When
you get to a melon on a spore be careful, jump and lash out the tongue
so it hits the melon and NOT a nipper spore, you don't want it going
down the brink (3)! Pound where Poochy is for a Heart (Heart # 1).
Before the blue blocks there is a white light on the ground, pound for
some platforms. Follow them to an Egg Block and a melon (4). Go forward
and get the Heart Fruit in a bubble, break open the next bubble for five
coins, when collected they yield a melon (5). After Warp 2 is a melon as
well (6), and a Bone Dragon that can be difficult to hit. After walking
a few feet Lakitu will drop in, reply with an egg and use his cloud to
reach a vase above.
Enter it with full eggs, defeat the Sub Boss for three melons (6-9).
There is a tenth melon in the white space when you drop back down (10).
One of the rock creatures is guarding a melon in a bubble (11), and
another melon is in the ground before the vase. You guessed it, it's in
the white space (12). Hop into the vase.
Fall down and destroy all of the blue blocks with eggs, in the next room
are two melons - (13) and (14). In the side is a room with two melons in
bubbles - (15) and (16). Go below the "platform makers" and follow the
path to a ledge with a bubble, hit it to reveal a switch. Hit it and
collect the Heart (Heart # 2). Use the platform makers to go to the very
top path, fall down the shaft and hold left. Enter the vase.
Complete the easy special delivery mini game for seven melons (16-23).
Exit the mini game. You will see some coins and a white light, shoot an
egg into this to get a melon (24). The rest of the melons are in this
next room, either in the platforms with white lights on them or in
bubble above a platform (25-30). The 3rd Heart is won from a Sub Boss in
a room after this room (Heart # 3).
Level 2-2: Blargg's Boiler
Description:
The first time for lava, if you fall in you die (who didn't know that?).
It can get kinda tricky because many bubble hold melons and if you miss
them when they fall out they fall into the lava...
You can get past all of the Blargg's in this stage by hitting them with
an egg. After running for awhile you will come to a bubble with a melon
(1). After that there is a Heart below a bone, get on the bone and when
it sinks you will collect the Heart (Heart # 1). The 2nd melon is
carried by a Fly Shy (2). Shortly after that is a message block, pound
near it for another (3). Another Shy Fly is carrying a melon (4). If you
miss and eat him the melon will go into the lava!
Jump and get the cursor so that it will hit the bubble and Blargg, while
fluttering in the air shoot it for a melon (5). The bone platform right
after that has a melon below the coin (6). Eat the Heart Fruit and
follow the trail of coins, two melons are floating in the air on the
long stretch - (7) and (8). The 9th one does NOT have a parachute,
better catch it (9)! I suggest getting below it and pushing up when you
lick.
Go to the end and warp through the pot. Hit the bubble and collect the
coins for a melon (10), if you don't get them in one smooth jump they'll
go into the lava and be lost. There's a melon in the ground below the
hovering coin (11).  Hop on the ball and ride it over the lava, you'll
get a melon at the end (12). Pound near the Egg Block for treasure (13).
This next melon can be difficult to get, it's right over the lava in a
bubble without a 'chute...just aim carefully (14). Behind the Blargg is
a Heart, when he goes down shoot an egg at it (Heart 2). Behind the bone
above the Heart is a melon in the ground, near the bananas (15). Another
melon here is difficult to get, it has a parachute but it is dangerously
close to the lava and you are on collapsing bones...(16).
If you haven't guess it yet, there is ANOTHER MELON IN THE GROUND (17)
by the Egg Block...Nintendo went a little crazy with this melon in the
ground thing! The next part is the toughest part yet, there are three
Shy Flys carrying melons above the air while you are riding the ball. If
you miss the melon falls into the lava, aim VERY carefully. (18-20).
When you get to the end pound below the blue pipe (21). Enter the pipe
and complete the Mini-Game for seven melons, pretty easy really (22-28).
Go down the exit pot. Go to the left and be careful of the wandering
Blargg, get the melon he is guarding oh so well (29). Go back to the
right and get the Heart by standing on the collapsing bone (Heart # 3).
Pound near the exit for the final, easy melon (30).
Level 2-3: Jelly Pipe
Description:
Very original, also very short. At the first part jelly hinders your
path, stomp and it will go down some.
Guide:
There are two ways of doing this, I think this way is more
straightforward and easy.
Run forward and fill up on eggs and energy via the power flower. Hit the
"?" Block from underneath ten times (getting a coin for each time) for a
melon (1). Pound the ground on the jelly so you can get under the
spikes. Go down and push the Mystery Crate against the wall, jump on it
and flutter to the top. Get the Heart (Heart # 1) and the melon in the
ground near it (2). Go back down and stomp the crate (3).
Drop ALL the way down, take a right. When you see the blue slime that
you can't see through look at the section to the far left, stomp so you
can see a melon (4). Push the Mystery Crate into the slime and a melon
will pop out (5). Ignore the exit and look above the message block,
there is a "!" ball there, use it to get to the top. Shove the Mystery
Crate up there into the slime (6). Follow the path right for a melon (7)
and a pot, hop on in.
Defeat the Sub Boss for a Heart (Heart # 2). Go back and exit through
the hole, or use Ms. Warp. Go back until you get to the place where you
fall forever, the first time hold left and flutter to the opening, fall
down this separate shaft and hold right for a melon (8). Drop down and
get into the tunnel. Go forward and collect the melon in the bubble (9)
and head downwards. Hit the mystery ball for five coins, collect them
for the 10th melon (10).
Head left but ignore Poochy, use the platforms to go up above the
mystery crate. Along the way is a melon (11). Push the mystery crate,
you will see some boos along the way. Hold down so they go up and above
you, collect their melon (12). Push the crate down the platforms and
when there is dead space push it all the way down, right into the goo
(13). Pay Poochy a visit and stomp where he is for some blue platforms,
follow them up. Before jumping up to where the Heart is, stomp for a
melon (14).
Jump and flutter up there for another melon in a bubble (15). Get the
Heart (Heart # 3), it requires an egg because of the blue blocks though.
Use the "!" ball and get up, go to the right, this place should look
familiar. Get the Boo's booty (16). Hit the blue blocks and get ready
for a load of melons. By following the path you will collect five
melons, from bubbles and boos (17-22). Get the Heart Fruit and run down
the platforms and hit the blue blocks to get to a room with three
bubbles, three melons (23-26). Go down and get the melon from the boos
(27) and go right to the dead end, pound here (28). Go left to find a
crate on a ledge, push it and fall down the shaft. Push it to the other
crate for two melons (29) and (30).
Level 2-4: Torrential Maze
Description:
Currents of water will push you down tunnels and you must fight them to
collect the tricky melons. At first you won't get much, but at the end
you get bunches of them {melons}.
Guide:
Go forward and load up on eggs, hop up the blue platforms and turn
right. Push the two crates together to get two melons (1) and (2). Hop
on the copters and ride them up to collect a melon (3). Turn a sharp
left to avoid the spikes on the ceiling, go up there and collect the
Heart in the aclove (Heart # 1). Jump and flutter up to the tunnel above
it, go in.
Wait for a ghost platform to appear where you are and when it does
QUICKLY climb up and jump over the wall. Below the platform makers is a
melon (4). Ride 'em up and then switch over, collect the two melons that
come floating down (5) and (6). When you get to the top jump over the
barrier and land on a ghost, aim your tongue down to lick a melon (7).
Before the ghost vanishes jump up and into the hole, now turn the page.
Here you must jump over gaps that lead to death, but the problem is the
water. Every few seconds water will come gushing out and try to knock
you over, time it right and don't mess around. Ignore the crate and jump
up the platforms to go to the upper level. Shoot all of the blue blocks,
the last one will hold a switch, trigger it. Push the crate across the
clouds and down the hole, it will land in front of the one you ignored.
Push 'em together - (8) and (9)!
Reload your eggs and continue, I would bust the melon in the bubble
because one time I bounced off of it and went "bye bye." At the end is a
tunnel, go into it and flip the page! Break open the blue blocks and
push the crate over the edge, it will fall into the goo (10). Push the
2nd one into it as well (11). Lots of melons from crates, huh? Fall down
the path and watch out for the purple things, water will be pushing you
along and the control is now somewhat erratic. At the end are two
bubbles, pop them and climb the "!" balls that appear. At the end is a
Heart (Heart # 2).
Now go back down and go to the end, get the melon in the goo (12). When
you appear push the crate over the edge and it will connect with another
one, the result is two melons - (13) and (14). Turn left and keep going,
go to the upper left hand corner of the screen. Fall down the shaft by
the "!" ball, hold right to enter a vine room. At the bottom is a melon
(15). Now go back down the shaft, follow the blue platforms and "!"
balls to a copter, use it to go up the shaft to find a melon (16).
Go back to where you got melons 13 and 14, turn right instead of left
now. Go down and follow the path to some brown platforms, look up and
jump on the ledge. The ledge with three coins has a melon in it, sniff
around (17). Fall down and hit the "?" Block, collect the coins that go
to the right so they don't get away. The others will bunch up to the
right. Collect them all for a melon (18). When sliding down hop on the
next ledge and pop the bubble (19). After falling down a tunnel hold
right to get to  room with some goo and a melon (20).
Fall all the way down to come to a new room, a melon is in the red glop
(21). Hop onto the ghosts and get to the thin piece of wood, jump up to
get a Heart (Heart # 3). There is another aclove like that with a melon
in it (22) but it requires swift fluttering or a nice ghost. Use a ghost
(or a flutter) to scale the wall, throw an egg where Poochy is to reveal
a Tulip. Shoot yourself at the top and flip the page.
Eat both Fly Shys so when you get a Heart Fruit and stomp you don't
accidentally eat the fruit they turn into. Shoot an egg, collect the
melons, get the Heart Fruit, do one big stomp and collect all eight
melons (23-30)!

Summit
Description:
Sky and snow levels
Level 3-1: Cloud Cruising
Description:
At the first part you will need to advance higher by using the snakes,
everytime you hop on them they change directions. For example, if you're
going up and you hop and land on them they will start going down.
Guide:
This stage is sooo easy. Hop on the blue snake and collect the three
melons in a row (1-3). The 1st cloud (the one to the very left) has a
melon, stomp for it (4). Hop on and ride the pink snake, switch to next
one. When switching to the 3rd one collect the melon in the air (5).
Ride the 3rd snake up to collect two melons (6) and (7). Hit the bubble
for a Heart (Heart # 1). Hop on the next blue snake and ride it to the
very right (if you're having trouble avoiding the Shy Flys, try an egg),
fall down and enter the pot.
You'll get to a place where TONS of Shy Flys will charge in at you,
destroy them with eggs to get five melons (8-12). Don't worry if you
don't get them all in one pass, they'll be back shortly. Make sure none
of the fruit they're carrying falls into the middle, you wouldn't want
to accidentally eat them! If one does, go left or right and come back,
they should disappear. Head into the pot to turn the page again.
Hop up the clouds and enter the pipe, pound one of the clouds for a
Heart (Heart 2). Go back out to where the dragon is, don't bother
collecting any melons though, you'll come back here soon. Along the
course you'll see a switch pad, hit it with an egg and go up the
platforms that appear, go into the pot. Wait a second or two and another
pad will come, hit it and jump on EVERY cloud that appears. By the time
you get to the top and collect the Heart (Heart 2) and all the melons,
you'll have collected 10 melons (12-22). Go down and down the pot,
you'll appear at the dragon. Use him to cross the sky and collect the
rest of the melons they are in bubbles and in mid-air. If you need any
eggs eat the bees that come your way (22-30).
Level 3-2: The Tall Tower
Description:
A big....um...tower! :) Near the end you'll find lots of spiked balls,
and your good ol'e pals the Ravens.
Guide:
You may want to turn the volume down a bit on this one (ew...nasty
music!) to save your sanity. I won't go into details, but before you get
to the pot, you should have collected nine melons (1-9) and a Heart
(Heart # 1). The next 'grueling' test is the leaf, hop on and go to the
next platform, pound for a melon (10). get on the next leaf and ride it
to a Mini-Game! Complete the easy Track Event for seven melons (11-17).
Use the leaf to get a Heart (Heart # 2) before hoping in the vase.
Collect the two melons and then follow the path to find two bubbles side
by side - (18) and (19). Hit them both for two melons - (20) and (21).
You'll find a melon in a bubble (22) and anther one in the air (23).
Soon you'll come to a TeeHee butterfly, behind it are some platforms,
sniff around and pound (24). Use the Heart Fruit's powers to get past
the Shy Flys, springs, Ravens, and all of that other nasty stuff. Soon
you'll come to a large spring, jump and follow the coins to a Heart
(Heart # 3). Behind the spring are some platforms, use them to get up
the large balls...uh...yeah. There is a melon above one (25). Keep
going, and hop on the play dough looking platform, to the left is a
melon (26). This next part can be tricky, but it's easy anyways. When
the Raven is at the bottom of the ball, hit the "?" Block a few times
and a melon will come out (27). Another melon in a bubble (28). Get past
the balls and a large spiked ball (too many balls!!) and get on top of
the sign, stomp for a melon (29). The final melon is in a bubble before
the end...yay (30)!
Level 3-3: Poochy And Nippy
Description:
Every game needs a snow level! Well...it's kinda like a snow level...
Guide:
Run forward and get on the see saws. Look up and climb the "!" ball for
a Heart (Heart # 1). Run some more and be prepared for four Fly Shys
that are gonna come in, defeat them all in one egg for a melon (1).
Complete the easy Min-Game for seven melons (2-8). Collect the Heart
Fruit and run as fast as you can forward and hop on the logs, shoot at
the blue blocks, since you have un-limited eggs you won't waste any! A
Heart will appear (Heart # 2).
Collect the 2nd Heart Fruit from the Fly Shy and collect the coins, go
to the log with a bubble near it. Hit it and lash out your extra long
tongue to get the melon (9), all while teetering on a see saw. Go into
the vase. There is a melon in a bubble above a blue pipe (10). Collect
the five coins from the nearby "?" block for another melon (11). Yet
another melon can be found by pounding where the Power Flower is (12).
Go to the path that Poochy is on, go through the vase.
Pound on the Power Flower for another melon (13). A nice Red Shy Guy is
carrying a melon, grab it (14). Beware of the constant downpour of bombs
from the goonies, if you get hit once you could very well get hit again.
A Shy Fly teases you with a melon above (15). Push the crates together
for two melons - (16) and (17). Go through the vase that Poochy is by.
This next part might get a little confusing, hop on the shortest row of
blue blocks. Look to your left and shoot the block that Yoshi is looking
at, a melon appears (18). Destroy the top block on the right, and then
the new top one. Kill the Shy Guy that appears and destroy the new top
one, a melon appears (19). A melon is being toted by a nearby Shy Fly,
aim carefully (20). Before going into the vase that Poochy is near,
pound where the Power Flower is (21).
This next part is easy, push the crate all the way to the other side
where the finish line is. When a goonie is coming stop pushing and it's
bomb will go slightly in front of you! You reward is a melon (22). Pound
on the Power Flower for another melon (23). Hop on a goonie and take a
ride, going to the left that is. Along the way will be three melons in
bubbles (23-26). Or...you could get below them and flutter jump up and
hit them with eggs, you'll get them anyways. Go on the path
where...Poochy is!
Going down the natural stairs you will see a Flower Power, yeah, you
guessed it pound it (27). Collect the masses of coins and hop on a
goonie. Above you'll find the rest of the melons and a Heart (Heart # 3)
(28-30).
Level 3-4: Frustration
Description:
It's another snow level. The only part where frustration will occur is
at the end when you try the mini-game!
Guide:
Hop on the giant wheel and turn it by running, hop over the gaps and
make your way across the gorge. Along the way you'll find a melon (1)
and a Heart (Heart # 1). At the end is a staircase, follow it to some
teeter totters. Here you will find two melons - (2) and (3). At the end
are lots of blue blocks, the uppermost one has a melon too (4). You will
once again meet the Shy Flys, kill them all with one egg for a melon
(5). Next is a race, hit the "?" Block and hop in the wheel, along the
way you will find three melons, plus the seven for the race and that's
10 melons (6-15)! Go through the exit.
Go to the upper path and it will make a melon on the lower path appear,
just be careful of the two worms (16). Before hopping up the wall pound
for a melon (17). Avoid the penguins and push the melon in the bubble
over safe ground and then pop it (18). Break the blue blocks and then
the bubble for a Heart (Heart # 2).
Collect the penguin ammo and then get the melon AND the Heart Fruit in
the bubbles (19). While Super Happy break the blue blocks and get the
melon, it's easier this way because of the worm (20). Another melon is
found above the red pipe (21). At the end of the path is a bubble with a
Heart (Heart # 3) and a melon in the ground (22). This next mini-game is
the hardest and most insane yet, here's a few tips: Before the paths
split make the melons completely straight so you don't have to run
forward or backwards, after he passes wait a few seconds, get it leaning
forward and run to the end (23-29). Pound where Poochy is for the last
melon (30).

Jungle
Description:
Tropical Jungles with all kinds of weird stages. I think this is where
Nintendo went insane from the cute, fluffy stuff.
Level 4-1: Jungle Hut
Description:
A large hut place with many side areas where you collect melons.
Guide:
Very Non-Linear stage here. From the start go right and into the hut.
You can find three melons in blue blocks, instead of wasting eggs on
them all just stand on top of them and sniff (1-3). One will also appear
if you get all of the coins (4). And a fifth one can be found in the
back of the hut (5). Go back to the beginning.
Go to the left, all the way until you get to a hut. There is one in the
back (6). Stomp for a Heart Fruit if you want to. In the hut you can get
four melons, three from bubbles and one for collecting all of the coins
(6-10). Go back via the lower path.
Make your way to the right until you get to some blue blocks, break them
open and go through the pipe. Flutter jump to the roof of the hut, a
melon awaits you (11). Head into the hut. Four melons can be found in
bubbles (12-15). Go up the platforms to the right to go up a pipe and
get a Heart (Heart # 1). Hop up and right to another hut. Four melons
can be found, three in blocks and one for collecting the coins (16-19).
This hut has a ton of Gabons so be careful, lots of balls are rolling
all over the place! Go back to the main section via the lower path.
Hop up on some platforms to discover a tulip, use it on the upper right
hand corner to get a Heart, where you will arrive above another Heart
(Heart # 2). Flutter jump to it (Heart # 3). Flutter to the upper
section and go left towards the hut. Five melons can be found here, two
in bubbles, two by themselves, and one in the back (20-24). Just be
careful of the chomps, they can come out of no where and surprise you.
Go back to the main section.
Jump up to the next platform and go up the green pipe, this is the final
hut. Climb to the top being careful not to touch any spiders. At the top
is a switch, trigger it and grab the rest of the melons. Be careful,
they only last a limited time! (25-30).
Level 4-2: Jungle Puddle
Description:
They should've named THIS level frustration, the last section with the
blurps can be VERY frustrating indeed.
Guide:
Go forward and over the platforms, bust open the first bubble for a
Heart (Heart # 1). Dive into the water and collect the three coins, a
melon will appear (1). Jump out and get the bubble for another (2). Get
back on land and pop open the bubble and collect all five coins that
spill out (3). Get back into the water and dive deep for a water melon
(4). Go back on land and go to the trio of Mystery Crates, stomp the
middle one (5) and push the last two together - (6) and (7).
Follow the line of coins from the Heart Fruit that drops down until you
see another melon in a bubble (8), which is your cue to dive deep into
the water and snatch the Heart (Heart # 2). Near Warp 2 is another
bubble melon (9). Go on land and find the switch, hit it and many coins,
plus a melon (10), will appear. Collect them all and hop down the vase,
it's time for some cussing!
Go forward and eat the melon in plain site (11). Push the crate on top
to the one on the bottom, be VERY careful when doing this... - (12) and
(13). I bet you just got ate by that fish! After walking a little bit a
blue fish will replace the red one, this one spits water and attempts to
knock you into it's mouth. Hit the bubble and get the coins that come
out (14). Then go back and jump into the water, head down the pipe.
Complete the pretty tough mini-game for seven melons (15-21). The next
three melons are in bubbles (21-24). Then one is in the ground shortly
after an Egg Block. Then run and quickly push the crate to the other
one, this one really tests your patience because that @#$%^&! blue fish
is spitting water and you're pushing the crate at about .01 inches a
second, move around a little and you can push it a few feet if you're
good. At the end you get two melons - (25) and (26). Then another bubble
(27). Pound the ground for another (28). That's funny...I completed the
stage...ah, who cares....hehe...
Level 4-3: Piranha Grove
Description:
What, you think they can have a Mario (related to Mario games at least)
game without Piranha Plants?! Blasemphy!
Guide:
Get up the blue platforms and collect six eggs, use them to defeat two
piranhas and get four  melons from bubbles (1-4). Reload and go to the
Mystery Crate, push it to the next, defeating three piranhas (5) and
(6). Flip the page!
At the second log stomp for a few platforms up to a Heart (Heart # 1).
By Warp 2 stomp for a melon (7). After that get the melon that floats by
(8). Another one (without a parachute) is in a bubble (9). Go to the egg
block and reload, stomp for a melon (10) and hop on the platforms. Ride
them up to another bubble (11). Defeat the piranha and hit the "?" Block
a few times (12). Get the Heart Fruit and motor it to the next log and
stomp (13). Defeat all the piranhas you can, they are very annoying. Get
on the platforms and go even higher, stomp on the next log (14). Ride
'em up!
Hit the bubble for a Heart (Heart # 2). Hit the next log (25). Jump and
follow the coins down. Head down the vase.  Defeat all the plants and
stomp for a melon (16). Reload your eggs and head for the balls, a melon
in a bubble awaits (17). Get on the last ball and roll to the "?" block,
hit it and collect the coins that spew out (18). Another one is in a
bubble (19). Get the Heart Fruit and kill everything you see!
Hop on the ball and ride it down the spikes and stuff, hop into the vase
at the end. Defeat all of the piranhas before taking on the Mini-Game,
easy melons (20-26). The other three are in melons, the final one by
Warp 4. The Heart is also along the way, hit it with an egg (Heart # 3)
(27-30).
Level 4-4: Neuron Jungle
Description:
I don't wanna know what Nintendo was drinking when they made this level.
Neurons are those big, multicolored creatures that help you "reach new
heights." Oh brother...
Guide:
Go forward and enter the pipe. O.K...Go straight to two Red Neurons,
pound one down to collect the Heart (Heart # 1) and then go down and
load up on eggs. Jump on the Purple Neuron and collect the melon (1). Go
to Warp 1 and stomp near the "" sign on it has a melon (5). Above the vase is a melon in a
bubble (6), hop down the vase.
The trick to this Mini-Game is not to swim, but to flutter jump from the
top of the posts. Still, it *might* be possible to swim to the end, but
I've never succeeded that way (7-13), exit. Follow the path forward
until you see a "?" bubble, hit it to reveal a switch. Activate it and
stomp the nearest Neuron, collect the three melons that appeared (14-
16). Go past the fallen neuron to find a path, go left to find a melon
in a bubble (17). Head right and stomp the Red Neuron, get the Heart
with a well aimed egg (Heart # 2). There are two paths to take, they
both have a melon at the end - (18) and (19). There is a melon above an
Orange Neuron, before the vase (20).
Hop in the wooden boat (you don't have to though) and go through the
river, near the end of your ride is a melon (21). Reload your eggs at
the Egg Block and go to the long stretch of land. Pound before the
Purple Sea Cactus for a melon (22). The next platform has a bubble in
it, pop it and get the five coins for a melon (23). After that there is
a bubble moving over a big pile of sea cacti, two eggs will do the trick
(one to pop the bubble, another to collect the Heart) (Heart # 3). Hop
in the water and take a swim, but watch out, some of the cacti will fall
down on you! You'll spot a melon, on your way, too (24)! Follow the coin
line to a dead end, pound for a melon (25). Defeat all of the frogs in
the next area, so they won't interfere. Hit the "?" Block a couple of
times and a melon will pop out (26).
You'll come to a huge structure that is absolutely CRAWLING with frogs,
defeat them all while collecting the coins, the central island has a
melon (27) as well. Use the boat to do the next part, it is better
because if you get hit you don't fall down the cliff (underwater cliff,
that is). You'll get a melon in the air (28) and another is carried by a
Shy Fly, aim carefully (29)! The last melon in this level is triggered
by collecting all of the coins in the stage, which is rather easy
because none of them are in the ground, they're all in the air and such
(30).
*Page 5*
Ocean
Description:
The first two levels are water based and the last two are land based
