Seesaw Scramble
Template:Levelbox Seesaw Scramble (written See-Saw Scramble in the British English version) is the third level of World 2 in Yoshi's New Island. Set in a mountainous area, the level features many seesaws which the player must use to cross pits and advance through the level. In a later part of the level, the player enters a volcanic range where Fire Wanwan Dosun are launched from the background.
Layout
At the start of the level, Light-Blue Yoshi must use a seesaw to reach a platform with an Egg-Plant surrounded by two blue posts. Ground Pounding one of these posts raises the other one, enabling the Yoshi to more easily collect several coins above. Past this area, there are a series of seesaws and Item Balloons that drop missiles, Needlenoses and coins, as well as platforms with Koopa Troopas whose shells can be thrown under tight spaces to collect items. Light-Blue Yoshi eventually reaches an area where a pair of red posts have to be adjusted so he can overcome a high ledge, where a Whirly Gate leads him into a Jackhammer Yoshi course. Here, the Yoshi must drill through a series of stone blocks as he descends an underground tunnel, collecting items in-between these blocks. Once he reaches the end, Light-Blue Yoshi is transported in a grassy field right before a Checkpoint Ring.
In this section of the level, the Yoshi must avoid Fire Wanwan Dosun that rain down into pits and break through soft rock that is used to get across. After going up several platforms and walking past a field with Shy Guys and an Egg-Plant, Light-Blue Yoshi must use two successive rocky seesaws over a pit to reach another ledge where the Goal Ring is located.
Smiley Flowers
- Smiley Flower 1: Immediately after a series of three wooden seesaws, Light-Blue Yoshi reaches an area with two green posts and a Koopa Troopa. He must first Ground Pound the left post into the ground, raising the other one to form a wall. Afterwards, he must spit a Koopa Troopa shell in the newly-formed enclosure so it breaks two soft blocks in a tight space as it bounces off post on the right, collecting the level's first Smiley Flower for the Yoshi.
- Smiley Flower 2: Shortly after the first Smiley Flower, Light-Blue Yoshi will encounter two rocky seesaws over a pit. Above the second seesaw is a Winged Cloud which produces the second Smiley Flower when hit with an egg or an enemy.
- Smiley Flower 3: Before the Whirly Gate, there is a hidden area in the ledge behind one of the red posts, where a door takes Light-Blue Yoshi to a bonus room with two large seesaws on the sides. Light-Blue Yoshi can jump off one of the seesaws to collect the third Smiley Flower.
- Smiley Flower 4: Just after the third clock in the Whirly Gate section, Jackhammer Yoshi will encounter several stone blocks that he must break through in order to collect the fourth Smiley Flower.
- Smiley Flower 5: After a field with two Shy Guys and an Egg-Plant in the Fire Wanwan Dosun area, there are two rocky seesaws that lead to the Goal Ring. If Light-Blue Yoshi tips the second seesaw to the right, two rows of coins will spawn ahead. Tossing an egg in the direction of these coins will reveal a hidden Winged Cloud which, when hit, produces the fifth Smiley Flower.
