Learn how to unlock the Yellow Switch Palace in Super Mario World by completing Yoshi's Island 1. Find all Dragon Coins and defeat enemies to progress.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by avoiding the sliding Beach Koopa and climbing the slope to get the first Dragon Coin. Dodge the incoming Banzai Bill.
  2. 2
    Hit the Question Box for a Super Mushroom or Fire Flower. Avoid the Rexes and climb the slopes to get the second Dragon Coin.
  3. 3
    Use spin jumps on Rotating Blocks to reach a Warp Pipe. Enter it to find another Dragon Coin blocked by Flip Blocks; spin jump to break them and collect it. Exit the room via the next Warp Pipe to reach the Midway Gate.
  4. 4
    After the Midway Gate, avoid the second Banzai Bill and hit the rotating block to reveal a 1-Up Mushroom. Dodge the third Banzai Bill, and either wait for the 1-Up to fall into the pit or jump on the Banzai Bill to reach the clouds and get it.
  5. 5
    Hit the next Question Box for a power-up. Avoid the last Banzai Bill, collect the fifth Dragon Coin, and defeat the Chargin' Chuck to reach the Giant Gate.
