Windward Way is the third level of Sky-High Heights in Yoshi's Crafted World. The level features the only appearance of normal Goonies and fans that blow sphere platforms upward.

Overview

Front side

The level begins with a set of five sphere platforms blown by fans, with a Shy Guy Tower on one. Then, a small set of Goonies is found, with an Egg Block directly after. After this, more Goonies appear with sphere platforms, with a nest containing a Flightless Goonie after. Next, Yoshi must traverse more sphere platforms, this time with Fly Guys in the way. The first Check Point is found after this.

After the first Check Point, a fan-blown sphere platform appears before a large set of Goonies Yoshi must jump across to traverse a pit. Afterward, Yoshi reaches a set of sphere platforms with a blue Time Cloud that makes Blue Coins appear, some carried by Shy Guys. A larger sphere platform appears, with an alcove containing Flightless Goonies and a Roulette Block after. Yoshi must walk south to reach a red Time Cloud with Flightless Goonies around it. Hitting the Time Cloud make multiple Fooly Flowers appear in the shape of a Goonie, with a Smiley Flower hidden inside. Yoshi must then move back north, and jump across nests containing Flightless Goonies, with an Egg Block after. Next is another set of Goonies over a pit, with the second Check Point right after it.

A set of sphere platforms appears after the second checkpoint, with some spheres blown higher, and more Fly Guys in the way. After that is larger nest containing several Flightless Goonies, with another set of fewer sphere platforms and Goonies afterward. After traversing a final row of Goonies and a set of sphere platforms, Yoshi reaches the goal where four colorful egg carton flowers stand.

Flip side

Goonies still move the same direction they did before, although they still face toward the camera. The light-blue Poochy Pup is found on one of three sphere platforms in the background of the large nest of Flightless Goonies. The Fooly Flowers still appear, but the Smiley Flower with them does not. The Black Poochy Pup is found in a small nest of Flightless Goonies right next to the Fooly Flowers. The pink Poochy Pup flutters over a pit just before the second Egg Block.
