Rail Lift

Rail Lift is Stage 1-3 of the game Yoshi's Story. The level takes place in the grassy area of the island and contains many Surprise Balls, Bumper Balls, and cloud platforms. As the title suggests, there are many platforms that move along set tracks, hovering over bottomless pits. The level can be even more difficult as Yoshi will have to hit levers along the track to progress.

This level contains a buried secret that Yoshi cannot detect with a sniff. In the beginning of the level in the area full of Shy Guys On Stilts, if Yoshi does a Ground Pound on the small pointed hill in the middle of the area, a Heart Fruit will appear. However, if the sniff is used on this spot, Yoshi will not detect anything hidden.
