Watch Out For Lakitu

Template:MoreImages Template:Level Watch Out for Lakitu is a level in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. 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.

Overview

Purple Yoshi starts out in front of a raised platform with a ground pound post with a red coin beneath. Just after, ther is a seesaw with coins on top, the last of which 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. Next, Yoshi gets to a seesaw, which is when Lakitu first appears. The player must be careful, as Lakitu can break the ground.

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

Next, Yoshi enters an area with three vertical alcoves and connecting spaces. There are wing clouds in the top of first two alcoves, with 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 exits the enclosed area and goes on onto more 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 so he can continue.

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. Using the sunflower, Yoshi climbs up to an alcove with a hidden wing cloud. The wing cloud contains a ! Switch, which opens up a secret pipe 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. Just ahead, there is a Shy Guy pipe just before a Winged Cloud with a Flower inside it.

Further on, there is a group of three 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, which is just before Yoshi reaches the goal.
