Watch Out For Lakitu

Watch Out for Lakitu is a level in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. It contains Lakitus, which appear in the outside areas of this level. The starting area has breakable platforms, but can be passed up if Yoshi hijacks a Lakitu's Cloud. The level's background has green mountains with palm trees.

Purple Yoshi starts out in front of a raised platform with a ground pound post with a red coin beneath. Then, he gets to a seesaw with coins on top. The last one is red. Then Yoshi gets onto a long stretch of breakable platform. A floating breakable platform circle with a shell inside and an egg flower on top is above the beginning of the platform. Then Yoshi gets to a seesaw, which is when Lakitu first appears. The player must be careful, as Lakitu can break the ground.

Then, there is another box with a Shy Guy inside before there is another seesaw. Then there is a longer stretch before another seesaw which is in front of a breakable wall. Then a long platform with Shy Guys, a Winged Cloud with a Flower inside, and a Fly Guy with a Red Coin. Then there are two shells and a flower that gives out stars. Then another seesaw with a low ceiling above then Yoshi is off of the breakable platform.

Next, Yoshi gets to an area with three vertical alcoves and connecting spaces. There are wing clouds in the top of first two alcoves. There are stars in the first and a ! Switch in the second. The switch will activate blocks which will help Yoshi get a chest and another Flower.

Yoshi gets out of the enclosed area and back onto the breakable material. There is a second level of breakable material above with an Egg Flower, Shy Guys, and coins, two of which are red. There is a small hill with a chest under it. Yoshi must only pound the chest open if the blocks have been activated, otherwise, he will ground pound through the floor and die. After a small regular platform, there is another hill with a Flower under it. Then there is a Needlenose before the door which requires a key. This door will take Yoshi to a bonus stage.

The bonus stage has a few train bubbles, a Flower and many coins. After exiting the bonus stage, Yoshi must push a chomp rock to stand on it and get to the door.

Through the door is an open area with a few Red Coins (including some held by Fly Guys), a Crayzee Dayzee, and a Shy Guy pipe. Slightly before that area is a wing cloud which must be hit to make a sunflower appear. Up above the sunflower is an alcove with a hidden wing cloud. The wing cloud contains a ! Switch. The switch opens up a secret are above the alcove.

After entering the pipe, Yoshi falls for a while before he gets to the ground. Just ahead, there are spinning blocks with coins on them. Yoshi must go all the way up, allowing him to obtain many coins. At the top there is a pipe, and the area above the last spinning block is full of coins. After Yoshi gets out, there are some red coin Fly Guys and a big pillar, which is made of breakable material, with a Bubble Dayzee on top. Then there is a Shy Guy pipe just before a Winged Cloud with a Flower in it.

Further on, there is a group of ground pound posts with a Cactus Jack on the middle. There is a Winged Cloud with stars under the middle post and a Red Coin under the last. Later, there are more Bubble Dayzees and two more Winged Clouds. The first one has a Flower and second has some stars. Next, there is a ground pound post with a red coin under it. Finally, Yoshi reaches the goal.
