Sniff

Sniff-Sniffing (sometimes referred to as simply "sniffing") is a basic special move that is found in Yoshi's Story. All the Yoshis in the game have the ability to Sniff-Sniff.

To use it, the player has to press the R button. Then the Yoshi will start to sniff on the ground. As the Yoshi moves while Sniff-Sniffing, it will move slowly, attempting to find something in the ground. When the Yoshi gets closer and something wonderful, it will start to sniff faster. Getting close to a secret causes a "!" icon to pop up above the Yoshi's head, indicating that the secret is close. When the Yoshi is on the secret spot on the ground, it gets excited and signals the player by making noise and waving their arms. To get the secret, the player must make Yoshi Ground Pound the spot.
