Guide Yoshi's Island: Flower 4 (41)

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's tackle Flower 4, also known as World 4-1 in Yoshi's Island DS! This level's got a few tricky bits, but we'll get through it together.

Walkthrough

1
First off, you'll see a vine. Climb it and then jump to the ledge on the upper right. Make sure you snag that first red coin (that's coin #12!) that's sitting right there.
2
Next, hop over the Koopa Troopa and grab the coins hanging in the air to the left of the next vine. Keep an eye out for another red coin here (that's #13!).
3
Now for a bit of a platforming challenge. You'll need to jump and flutter your way from vine to vine. Grab the coins as you go, but watch out for those falling Chomps – they're no fun! You can snag red coin #14 by jumping between the vines as you cross this section.
4
At the end of the vine section, you'll see some blocks that sink when you land on them. Just jump across them quickly and head into the area on the right.
5
In this new area, make sure to grab Baby Mario from the Stork Stop. Then, jump through the Middle Ring – this gives you a checkpoint and lets you use eggs!
6
Hit the two yellow egg blocks you see. Now, head to the right and shoot an egg through that soft dirt patch on the ground.
7
Drop down to the lower path and keep heading right. You'll see a small gap to jump over. Just past that, there's a red coin in the air (coin #15). It's the second coin from the ground, so aim carefully!
8
Now, this is important: a Chomp is coming! You need to quickly shoot an egg to skim the dirt above where the Character Coin is. This will let you grab the coin and get out of the way before the Chomp gets you.
9
Speaking of the Chomp, it moves at about your speed. If you're rushing, it can be tough. But here's a pro tip: try to stay just a little ahead of it. If it catches up, flutter backwards slightly. This tricks it into not speeding up as much, making it way easier to get through.
10
To make that shot easier, hold the target cursor horizontal and facing right (press Y, then X to lock it). This way, you're already set up to shoot when you need to. Don't worry if you miss the Character Coin on your first try; you can always come back later for a perfect score.
11
Keep going! You'll need to jump across some moving platforms to cross another gap and get ahead of the Chomp again. This time, grab red coin #16, which is right in the middle of the coins above a green platform.
12
After a few more moving platforms, you'll reach a dirt platform. There's a flower on the lower path, and some coins up above. Take the lower path – that's where the Flower is waiting for you!

Tips

Don't rush the Chomp sections! Using the flutter-back trick is key to making it easier.
If you're having trouble with the egg shot for the Character Coin, remember you can always come back later. Focus on getting through safely first.
Keep an eye on those sinking blocks – a misstep here can send you back a bit.
