Follow our step-by-step guide to complete Episode 5: Secret of the Village Underside in Super Mario Sunshine, including hatching Yoshi and navigating the Chuckster platforms.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First, hatch the Yoshi egg found across the bridge. It requires a random fruit, which can be found on the tree near the bath from the previous episode.
  2. 2
    Once Yoshi is hatched, ride him across the bridge and jump off the cliff onto the bouncy green toadstool below.
  3. 3
    Continue across the toadstools towards the underside of the village. Hold down A/B while riding Yoshi to fly for a short duration, allowing for longer jumps between toadstools.
  4. 4
    At the end of the toadstool path, you will see an orange pile of goo on a pipe. Use Yoshi's juice by pressing X to clear the goo.
  5. 5
    Enter the secret section of the episode by heading down the cleared pipe.
  6. 6
    In the secret area, use the Chuckster Piantas to be thrown across platforms. The small pink Pianta on the second platform will launch you to the next section.
  7. 7
    Talk to the small orange Pianta, ensuring you wait until he is near the edge of the platform to be thrown onto the next ledge.
  8. 8
    Speak to the large Pianta lady to be lobbed upwards.
  9. 9
    The blue Pianta ahead will throw you up and behind him.
  10. 10
    Finally, wait for the small Pianta to line up with the platform to the left, and let him launch you to the Shine Sprite.
Tips
  • When using Yoshi to fly, holding A/B allows for short bursts of flight, crucial for making long jumps between toadstools.
  • Be mindful of the Chuckster Piantas' throwing strengths and directions. Line them up carefully to avoid being thrown off course or into the void.
  • The small pink Pianta on the second platform is essential for progressing to the next area.
  • Wait for the small orange Pianta to be near the edge before talking to him to ensure you are thrown onto the correct next ledge.
