Baby Mario and Baby Peach: Dynamic Duo is the seventh level of World 1 in Yoshi's Island DS. A Red Yoshi takes control in this level. Like Mario's Fleet Feet, this level takes place in a forest of colorful pine trees. The level has many Stork Stops and primarily revolves around switching between Baby Mario and Baby Peach and using their abilities to overcome the obstacles ahead. This level also marks the debut of the Super Star, a powerful item that turns Baby Mario into an invincible superhuman that can fly and run up walls and ceilings. There are also vines located throughout this level which Baby DK can use once he is unlocked.

In this secret room, you will come across a Super Star, a special item that only Baby Mario can obtain (other babies are unable to use it's effects), in this form, Yoshi will briefly transform into a Giant Yoshi Egg and Baby Mario will become a invincible caped baby capable of gliding, climbing up walls and ceilings, and running at extremely fast speeds. There are heaps of Coins in this room and even a Smiley Flower but no Red Coins, Baby Mario can collect multiple Super Stars to prolong the effects of his invincibility, he can also run around the spherical platforms in an endless loop.

In the next section, you may seem trapped with nowhere else to go but advance to the right through the wall and a path is revealed, continue down the path (whilst avoiding some Tap-Taps here) and continue to the right, drop down and you will find an area with some vines (keep these in mind for later when you unlock Baby DK), there is a Smiley Flower in the air above, an egg should be able to secure it for you, there is also a M Block here (which Baby Mario can hit for two Stars) and in the niche to the left, there are two invisible Winged Clouds, either use eggs or the two Shy Guys in the area to open these clouds for Stars and a 1-Up. After this, use the Spring Ball to return to the main path, hop to the upper path, you can make the Tap-Taps more manageable by knocking them into the pits with either Yoshi's tongue or an egg, after this, run past the Stork Stop and hop through the transparent M Block staircase and jump through the hidden path on the ledge, you will get Coins on your way down, there is also a Stork Stop here, move to the right and grab the two Red Coins at the end, upon returning back to the M Block staircase, switch to Baby Mario and climb the M Blocks, hop to the nearby ledge to reveal a hidden niche with two Red Coins, continue along the path (with accurate flutter jumps, you can hit these M Blocks to solidify them and use a Shy Guy to propel up to the upper platforms to clear this area with Baby Peach), upon entering the tunnel, you will come across your second Morph Bubble, the Yoshi Mole Tank, you can use this ability to squeeze through the tunnel and plow through the dirt blocking it, there are several Coins stashed here and there are also three Red Coins located near the end, once you're done, hit the Yoshi Block at the end to switch back to regular Yoshi and drop down and grab the Coins before entering the Pipe.

Climb up the Flower Plant and hop on the moving Flatbed Ferry and hit the hovering Fly Guy above (it is carrying a Red Coin and return from whence you came and take the path down, advance to the left and grab some eggs from the Egg Block and toss an egg at the Arrow Clouds so they follow the track into the Tulip, upon tossing an enemy or egg into the Tulip, you get 8 bonus Stars, continue to the right and switch out to Baby Peach get rid of the Shy Guy and Tap-Tap here and hit the !
