Yoshi and the Mysterious Book habitats

Spincone Habitat is the fifth habitat of Chapter 8: Tallest of Trees in Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. The habitat is a forest of towering wooden trunks, with a soft pastel sky that shifts from sunset to dawn throughout the level. It is home to the Spincones; these creatures also appear as cocoons in the background, suspended from the slender branches of Bonsai-like trees. The main objective in this habitat is for Yoshi to use Spincone's high-speed rotation to platform across walls and vines and to shatter obstacles.

Throughout the habitat, Yoshi must engage in a Spin Sumo match to defeat increasingly varied Spincones along the path and ultimately the reigning champ from the side. On the revisit, Yoshi must use Loopdeecoop with a big spiky hula hoop and the Spincones' abilities to unlock hidden discoveries.
