Cross World 1 of Yoshi’s Island DS, using the Stork Stops to choose the baby needed for each branch. One hundred points requires twenty red coins, five flowers and thirty stars at the goal in the same clear. Character coins are separate from that score and require the matching baby.
World 1-1 — Ba-dum BUM!
Make eggs from Shy Guys and shoot the first cloud to build stairs. Search the high ledges before dropping to the pipe, then use Baby Mario’s dash in the cave. Back outside, climb the sunflower and ride both paddle wheels through their coin trails. Build the staircase left of the second wheel before continuing past the Middle Ring. Enter the later pipe for the character coin, then collect the final star cloud before the goal.
Five flowers
- On the main path near the start.
- Climb the cloud stairs above the first flower.
- Below-left of the first pink paddle wheel.
- Along the path toward the enemy-producing pipe.
- Build the stairs left of the second paddle wheel, climb up and shoot the flower cloud.
Red coins: Search the high starting platforms, around both early pipes, along the paddle wheels and on the staircase left of the second wheel. Sweep the coin group before the goal rather than jumping over it.
Character coin: Baby Mario: enter the pipe beyond the Middle Ring to reach the coin room.
Video walkthrough: Ba-dum BUM!
World 1-2 — Hit the M Blocks!
Keep Baby Mario to activate the M Blocks and grow the sunflower. Enter the cave and use the mushroom platforms to search its upper passages. After the Middle Ring, take the bouncing arrow to the high coin route before leaving. Outside, build the stairs to the upper bonus pipe and finish its switch-platform course. Return below and ride the large final wheel for the last flower. Baby Peach is not available on the first visit.
Five flowers
- High on the first giant sunflower.
- Above the second mushroom-platform group in the cave.
- Enter the upper outdoor pipe and complete its timed switch route.
- Check the low outdoor path beside the Pointeys; jumping on the fourth plant reveals it.
- Shoot the cloud at the highest point of the large final paddle wheel.
Red coins: Collect around the starting M Blocks and sunflower, both cave mushroom groups, the red-coin Fly Guy, the bouncing-arrow ledge and the upper bonus pipe. Finish by searching below and along the large wheel.
Character coin: Baby Peach: return after 1-5. In the cave, use the M Block’s bouncing arrow to reach the upper niche, then collect the coin with Peach.
Video walkthrough: Hit the M Blocks!
World 1-3 — Mario’s Fleet Feet
Use Baby Mario’s dash to stay ahead of the Super Big Tap-Tap, collecting the opening trail before reaching the Middle Ring. In the next area, break dirt with eggs while leaving steps to the high pocket. Roll the Chomp Rock to the far wall, then complete both heights of the timed block route. In the last area, pound the posts and reveal the staircase to the kangaroo pipe before approaching the goal.
Five flowers
- At the end of the opening chase.
- Bank an egg off the wall above the Shy Guy platforms.
- At the end of the timed block branch beside the main route.
- Pound the high post to reveal stairs to the upper pipe, then complete the kangaroo room.
- Pound the cracked reddish block near the final posts.
Red coins: Take the opening chase coins, the high dirt pocket and the coins above the stopped Chomp Rock. Search the upper switch path, then pound each final post, including the ones with coins above and inside them.
Character coin: Baby Peach: return after 1-5 and ride the wind immediately before the goal. Stay in 1-3 for this return visit.

World 1-4 — Castle of the Big Burt Bros.
Cross the lava on the paddle wheels and pass the swinging traps only when your landing is clear. Before opening the boss route, take the upper side door and defeat every enemy inside for a flower. The key is in the crate reached by the lifts. Against the Big Burt Bros., throw eggs during the gaps between their jumps and refill at the Egg Plant. Watch both brothers before stepping out to aim.
Five flowers
- Activate the switch cloud for the high temporary block path near the start.
- Climb left from the Middle Ring.
- Bank an egg above-left before the next door.
- In the upper chamber containing two Burt Brothers.
- Enter the door above the locked route and defeat all Piranhas and Lantern Ghosts.
Red coins: Search both opening wheels, the first swinging traps, beneath the Middle Ring and around the teal wheel over lava. Collect the upper coin row by the last Egg Blocks before using the key.
Character coin: Baby Mario: collect the coin in the trap section near the Middle Ring, using the upper route above the pipe.
Video walkthrough: Castle of the Big Burt Bros.
World 1-5 — Catch the Breeze!
Enter the early pipe for the flower before reaching the first Stork Stop. Switch to Baby Peach and hold the Flutter Jump into the wind currents. Use the rising gusts to inspect the high ledges, then search the diagonal current above the Donut Lifts before leaving. You can now revisit 1-2 and 1-3 for Peach’s character coins; their ordinary course scores do not require those coins.
Five flowers
- In the opening pipe room.
- In the second area, ride the first rising current and go right along the high ledge.
- Above the current in the middle of that area.
- During the long vertical rise, leave the wind beside the two coins and approach the wall to reveal it.
- In the final area, ride the winds to the upper-left ledge.
Red coins: Sweep each wind current from bottom to top, including the side recesses and the diagonal route above the Donut Lifts. Use eggs on distant carriers before riding past them.
Character coin: Baby Peach: follow the diagonal wind route to the Donut Lifts and the coin above them.
Video walkthrough: Catch the Breeze!
World 1-6 — Glide Guys Take to the Skies
Switch to Peach for the wind routes and clear the Glide Guys before crossing a narrow landing. Search the ground near each Stork Stop before floating high. The middle section becomes a helicopter course: collect its high and low trails before reaching the Yoshi Block. After the pipe, resume Peach’s wind route to the goal. The hanging-vine detour can be explored after Baby DK joins in 2-1.
Five flowers
- Above the paired wind currents on the low opening route.
- Activate the wind flowers, fly right and shoot the flower cloud.
- In the last high cloud above the Baseball Boys.
- At the end of the egg-operated platform route.
- In the upper-right of the helicopter area; collect before touching the Yoshi Block.
Red coins: Check the ground beside the Stork Stops, the high wind pockets and both heights of the helicopter course. Return to the lower path before taking the last gust toward the goal.
Character coin: Baby Mario: activate the early M Block to grow the plant and collect the coin to its left. A separate hanging-vine coin bonus uses Baby DK on a later visit.
Video walkthrough: Glide Guys Take to the Skies
World 1-7 — Baby Mario and Baby Peach: Dynamic Duo
Use Mario to climb the M Blocks, then change to Peach so the obstructing blocks vanish and she can ride the wind. Repeat this sequence through the next rooms, activating transparent M Blocks before changing babies. Search the lower passages around the Tap-Taps before entering the Mole Tank route. Dig through its side pockets, hit the Yoshi Block and continue through the cave’s final Stork Stops.
Five flowers
- Switch to Peach to pass beneath the large opening M Block barrier.
- Enter the bonus pipe after the red switch blocks with Mario and follow the Super Star course.
- In the second section, switch away from Mario to enter the pipe blocked by M Blocks.
- Before the Mole Tank section, throw to the upper-right of the vines, or climb with DK on a return visit.
- In the last area, bank an egg upward from the lower screen.
Red coins: Search on both sides of the M Block staircases, below the Tap-Tap passage and throughout the Mole Tank section. Switching babies changes which ledges are reachable, so collect each branch before moving to the next room.
Character coin: Baby DK: return to 1-7 after clearing 2-1. Climb the vine beside the fourth flower and enter the hidden wall passage before the Mole Tank section.

World 1-8 — Gilbert the Gooey’s Castle
Cross the lava bridges and enter the pipe beyond the Ball ’N’ Chains. At the Stork Stop, use Peach’s wind current to reach the key, then backtrack past the Blargg to the locked door. Search the nearby secret pipe before advancing. Gilbert the Gooey is covered in removable spheres: swallow them or hit them with eggs, dodging his movement until every sphere is gone. The small pieces also help replenish ammunition.
Five flowers
- In a cloud near the start.
- Above one of the two swinging spiked balls before the first pipe.
- At the first area’s far end, break the small block supporting the gray obstruction.
- Along the second area’s main path before the Middle Ring.
- Shoot the cloud above the giant Blargg, then throw again to collect the flower.
Red coins: Search above and below the lava bridges, the wind-assisted key route and the secret pipe. Check the side chambers before opening the boss route.
Character coin: Baby Peach: enter the unlocked side door. Counting falling blocks from the left, lower blocks one, three and four. Jump from the first to the third, then trigger the last block to reach the coin.
