'''The Impossible? Maze''' is the 4th extra level that appears in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Game Boy Advance]] port ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. It is found by getting a 100 percent score in every level in the [[World 4 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|fourth world]]. The level appears to be a dim maze-like underground sewer that would most likely seem endless, unless [[Yoshi]] notices where he can roll to the [[crate]]s to reach higher areas where a door is. He can push the crates through the water to also find other items, such as [[Red Coin]]s and [[Flower]]s. The main enemies found in this level are [[Piranha Plants]] and the [[Grim Leecher]]s that come out of pipes.
'''The Impossible?

Like the other extra levels, it is unlocked by getting a perfect score on each of the world's eight levels. The level takes place in two areas of a maze-like underground sewer, connected by large round openings that function like doors. The area where [[Yoshi]] starts is dimly lit and consists of many separated rooms, while the other area is fully visible and interconnected via tunnels with flowing water. Many of these tunnels are at a downward angle and the stream won't allow Yoshi to travel back up. [[Red Coin|Red coins]] and [[Smiley Flower|Special Flowers]] are hidden throughout these paths. As the player navigates the maze, they will find that there is no clear way to progress until they push [[crate]]s down to lower areas, allowing them to access entryways and platforms that were previously out of reach. The main enemies found in this level are [[Piranha Plant|Wild Piranhas]] and [[Grim Leecher]]s. Like every other Extra Stage, this level's playable [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] is the green Yoshi.


This level features a lot of aspects, including pipes that operate like doors and the aforementioned Grim Leechers, which are not featured in any other stage (barring the stages added in ''Super Mario Advance 3'').

The Impossible? Maze is the Extra Stage of World 4 that appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its Game Boy Advance port Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. Like the other extra levels, it is unlocked by getting a perfect score on each of the world's eight levels. The level takes place in two areas of a maze-like underground sewer, connected by large round openings that function like doors. The area where Yoshi starts is dimly lit and consists of many separated rooms, while the other area is fully visible and interconnected via tunnels with flowing water. Many of these tunnels are at a downward angle and the stream won't allow Yoshi to travel back up. Red coins and Special Flowers are hidden throughout these paths. As the player navigates the maze, they will find that there is no clear way to progress until they push crates down to lower areas, allowing them to access entryways and platforms that were previously out of reach. The main enemies found in this level are Wild Piranhas and Grim Leechers. Like every other Extra Stage, this level's playable Yoshi is the green Yoshi.

This level features certain elements not seen anywhere else in the game, such as the aforementioned round openings that operate like doors, Grim Leechers, and Flashing Egg Blocks. Grim Leechers and Flashing Egg Blocks appear in new levels in Super Mario Advance 3, however. This is also the only level to feature the "Room Before Boss" music playing throughout its entirety.
