Make exciting discoveries
Hop into a creature’s habitat and interact with it to learn its characteristics and abilities. Smash it, carry it around, even give it a taste! Who knows what you’ll find? Some discoveries can help you learn about other creatures, including things from previous chapters you might have missed...
What happens when it inhales something?
This creature spits out a Smiley Flower when it inhales a Crazee Dayzee, but it doesn’t seem to care for Yoshi.
How does it react to Yoshi?
This creature pops when you jump on its head or gobble it up. You can even use it to blow a bubble.
Find your next big discovery
Each habitat has a big discovery to uncover. Once you find it, you’ll be able to move on to the next area. But that doesn’t mean your exploration has to be over. You’ll also get some hints about discoveries you haven’t made yet.
Use moves to make discoveries
Yoshi has a few egg-cellent tricks he can toss out—sometimes literally! Use different moves to find out how various creatures react, which can lead to a new discovery.
Gobble
Taste a creature with Yoshi’s tongue and possibly turn it into an egg.
Throwing Eggs
After gobbling creatures, you can throw eggs at other creatures or objects.
Flutter Jump and Ground Pound
If you jump or start to fall, Flutter Jump to hover for a bit. While mid-air, you can Ground Pound creatures below you.
Tail Flick
Put creatures or objects on Yoshi’s back with a flick of the tail. Repeat the move to throw or perform a special action with the creature you’re carrying.
Sprint
Move for a while in the same direction to break into a sprint. If a creature is riding on Yoshi’s back, it might react.
Observe
Sometimes it’s good to hang back and watch how a creature behaves. You can also duck to stay out of the way.
Leaf through each chapter
