Follow this step-by-step guide to collect all the red coins and find the hidden Flower in Level 23 (Flower 1) of Yoshi's Island DS.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the very start of the level, head left. You'll see some Shy Guys; use Yoshi's tongue to gobble them up and turn them into eggs.
  2. 2
    Jump across the tree tops. Make sure to grab the coins and the first red coin that's located at the very top of the tallest tree.
  3. 3
    Continue onto the bridge. A giant fish will leap out of the water here, so be ready to dodge it!
  4. 4
    Shoot the winged cloud that appears. This will make a green platform start moving.
  5. 5
    Hop onto the moving green platform. Shoot an egg at the line of coins to your left to grab the second red coin.
  6. 6
    Jump up to the higher ledge. Here, you'll need to switch to Baby Mario using the Stork Stop.
  7. 7
    Once you've switched, hop aboard the giant ship that's docked nearby.
  8. 8
    On the ship, go left and jump up the ledges that circle the middle pole. Reach the topmost platform.
  9. 9
    Collect the coins up here, and then grab the third red coin, which is to the right.
  10. 10
    Now, get a good running start from the edge of the ship. Run and jump, then flutter with Yoshi to make it to the far left ledge. You need to press and hold the flutter button as soon as you stop moving.
  11. 11
    On the high ledge you just landed on, collect the fourth red coin.
  12. 12
    Head back right to the main body of the ship. You'll see a spiked enemy standing on top of a pole. Use Yoshi's tongue to knock it off.
  13. 13
    Jump to where the spiked enemy was standing to find the fifth red coin.
  14. 14
    Drop down to the main deck of the ship. Shoot the winged cloud here to get five stars. If you're low on eggs, eat some Bullet Bills that fly by.
  15. 15
    Continue heading left until you reach a pipe. Swim in the water on both sides of the pipe to collect coins, including the sixth and seventh red coins.
  16. 16
    Go down the pipe to enter a new area. You'll hit a hint block that tells you the level is a series of islands connected by pipes.
  17. 17
    Go down the pipe to your left. When you emerge, shoot the winged cloud above the island you're on.
  18. 18
    Another winged cloud will appear above the raft to the right. Jump onto the raft and shoot this new cloud.
  19. 19
    The winged cloud will reappear in a different spot. Keep shooting all four of the winged clouds as they appear to reveal the first Flower!
Tips
  • Don't forget to switch back to Yoshi if you need to use his flutter jump to reach certain areas after using Baby Mario.
  • Eating Bullet Bills is the easiest way to replenish your eggs if you run out.
  • Pay attention to the fish on the bridge; it can knock you off if you're not careful.
