[[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are searching the [[Forest of Illusion|Enchanted Forest]] for the missing [[Oogtar]] the Caveboy. As the group searches, Yoshi becomes increasingly uneasy in the haunted forest. After reassuring Yoshi that there aren't ghosts in the forest, Luigi bumps into a robed being.

As the group searches, Yoshi becomes increasingly uneasy in the haunted forest. After reassuring Yoshi that there are no ghosts in the forest, Luigi bumps into a robed being.


Apologizing to the figure for bumping into him, Luigi is warned by Princess Toadstool that the figure is "Wisenheimer, the most dangerous [[Magikoopa|Koopa Wizard]] of them all". Yelling that his name is really [[Wizenheimer]], the Koopa Wizard ends up scaring a panicking Yoshi away.

Eventually, Yoshi stops running and begins to worry about his friends and the trees and bushes roar and grab at him. Before Yoshi can track them down, though, a large Tarzan-like holler scares the dinosaur. Terrified, Yoshi runs off, only to be chased by a "monster" who was, in actuality, the missing caveboy, Oogtar.

While running away from Oogtar, Yoshi nearly bumps into a wall of [[Piranha Plant]]s sticking out of Warp Tubes. Yoshi easily jumps over these Piranha Plants; unfortunately, Oogtar isn't as lucky and ends up becoming stuck in a Piranha Plant's mouth. After begging for help, Oogtar is saved when Yoshi slurps up the Piranha Plant chewing on Oogtar.

After Oogtar thanks Yoshi for saving him, Yoshi explains to him that Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool have been kidnapped by a Koopa Wizard. Hearing Yoshi's story, Oogtar decides to aid him in his search for their friends.

While looking for their friends in the forest, Oogtar and Yoshi are attacked by an angry [[Wiggler|Caterpillar]]. A panicking Oogtar is forced to drag Yoshi away, the latter having gone into shock due to the caterpillar's monstrous roars. While fleeing from the caterpillar, Yoshi comes across an [[? Block]], which he hits, causing a pair of [[Yoshi's Wings|Magic Wings]] to pop out of the box; leaping into these wings, Yoshi gains the power of flight. With Oogtar on his back, Yoshi flutters up into the air and swoops down on the attacking caterpillar and with his sticky tongue, gobbles it up.

With the ability to fly on his side, Yoshi easily finds the Warp Tube his friends were forced down and with Oogtar, he ventures down it. Coming out of the other end of the Warp Tube, Yoshi is horrified to discover that Wizenheimer lives in a Haunted House. Deciding to leave Yoshi behind, the overconfident Oogtar begins pounding on the door of Wizenheimer's Haunted House. Coming to see what the commotion was, Wizenheimer is met with Oogtar, who demands to be brought to the house's dungeon to see his friends. An amused Wizenheimer agrees to take Oogtar to the dungeon, then subsequently zaps the cave-boy into chains in the dungeon.
