What each player can do here
- Player 1 plays a Yoshi with the full move set: flutter jump, ground pound, eat enemies and throw eggs. The camera mostly follows Player 1.
- When the partner rides on your back, you steer both Yoshis and your ground pound sends out a shockwave, but you cannot throw eggs until the rider jumps off.
- Player 2 is a second Yoshi in another colour with the same moves. Either Yoshi can eat the other and spit them out.
- Jump onto Player 1's back to ride: you give up moving, but you can throw eggs without running out.
If your skill levels differ: The rider does no moving and never runs out of eggs, while the carrier handles the jumps. Mellow Mode (wings for endless flutter, only one heart lost per hit) can be switched on at any time, even mid-level.Our suggestionFor a newer player: ride on the other Yoshi's back. How to split the roles
Outer Orbit and Cheery Valley
Part 1 of 3. Reach Shadowville.
- BothFrom here the path is linear again: Outer Orbit, then Cheery Valley, then Shadowville, the darkest and toughest world of the main story.
Mr. Geary (Mr. Geary's Factory mini-boss)
Part 2 of 3. Beat the gear.
- BothMr. Geary rolls around trying to crush you. His weak spots are the strips of yellow tape: throw eggs at the tape.
Where people tend to fall
- After two hits he rolls faster. Shy Guys drop in from above if you run low on eggs; three hits win.
The Great King Bowser (final boss)
Part 3 of 3. Win the last Dream Gem.
- BothBaby Bowser pilots a giant robot. Throw eggs at its weapons (two eggs each) to wreck them; with both gone the cockpit opens.
- BothEgg Baby Bowser to knock him onto your platform, then ground-pound him. The robot's weapons change over the fight (cars, then hammers, then pencil boxes), and three ground pounds break it.
- BothThen he returns much bigger. Egg the weapon he uses (a rubber hammer, then pencil drills, then a Bullet Bill-style weapon) to take it, mount it on the side, and ground-pound the button to hit him with it. Three rounds win.
