Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island guide hub

Carry Baby Mario across the six worlds of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island. These routes and full-size stage maps cover the original SNES game, with its forty-eight main courses and six unlockable Extra stages.

A course score of one hundred requires thirty stars, twenty red coins and five flowers at the end of the same attempt. Eight perfect main-stage scores unlock that world’s Extra stage and its repeatable Bonus game. The GBA edition’s additional Secret stages belong to a different version.

Extra stages

All six Extra stages, their unlock conditions and stage maps

Eggs, stars and checkpoints

Swallow enemies and press Down to make eggs, carrying up to six at once. Throw eggs to collect distant flowers, break soft walls and reveal hidden clouds. Flashing Eggs release a red coin when they hit an enemy; ordinary red eggs supply stars. Keep the two types distinct when checking a missing coin.

A Middle Ring is a checkpoint and adds ten stars, up to the thirty-star maximum. If Baby Mario is knocked away, rescue him before the countdown runs out. Recovering him does not automatically restore a full thirty stars. Use later star clouds, a checkpoint or stored star items before the goal. Extra stages and course 1-1 have no Middle Rings.
