Boing! is the fifth level of World 2 in Yoshi's Island DS, a Purple Yoshi takes control in this level. This level takes place in an open canyon filled with Bouncies which can be used to bounce to higher ledges and also around the place. This level also makes use of several other platforms and gimmicks and marks the debut of Debulls, Eggo-Dils, Bandits, and Fleepers in this game.
Walkthrough[]
Starting off the level, advance to the right and hit the Egg Block to fill your egg supply and hit the M Blocks here for some Coins and two Stars respectively (if you're not using Baby Mario at this point, you can easily use the Stork Stop to switch to him and then hit the M Blocks below). Next, advance to the right and hit the Fly Guys carrying Coins before hitting the Smiley Flower in their air with an egg, next grab the Coins in the coin lot above the Bouncy as two of the coins in this lot are Red Coins, after this, move to the right and pound the Stake by the Bouncy for a Red Coin, then, bounce to the Ferris Wheel to reach the upper ledge where another Ferris Wheel is with some Coins, progress onward and hop on the manual Ferris Wheels and use one of them to reach the Red Coin atop it, then, drop down and hit the Winged Cloud for some Stars before continuing, jump by the Bouncy and collect the Coins and Red Coin by it and bounce on the top of the Bouncies to reach the upper ledge, switch to Baby Peach at the Stork Stop and hit the Winged Cloud here to activate the wind to reach the upper platform with the Pipe, enter the Pipe to reach a room with an Eggo-Dil and three Winged Clouds, the Winged Clouds contain a Smiley Flower, Coins, and Stars respectively (if you're short on eggs, just slurp up some of the Eggo-Dil's petals), after collecting these, drop down the lower paths to collect the Coins and a Red Coin, there is also a Stake here (before pounding the Stake, it's best to wait until all of the Eggo-Dils petals are removed or else they will fall with the ground pound) making dodging them difficult). Pound the Stake to get a Red Coin, after this, exit through the Pipe and drop back down to the main path and advance to the right (but be sure to switch to Baby Mario as well before you do).
In the next area, advance to the right and pound the Stake to get the Red Coin inside it, drop down and advance to the right to get the Coins and Red Coin along the path but watch out for the Debull. Advance to the right along the M Blocks to get the Baby Coin at the end and hop up to the upper platforms and be careful of the Eggo-Dil, advance to the right and watch out for the Shy Guys and Woozy Guys, there is also a Baron Von Zeppelin here carrying a Key, jump to it to snag the Key, hit the soft stone to drop the Stork Stop down to the main ground so you can switch to Baby Mario and get the Baby Coin (if you haven't already), once done, progress to the left and watch out for the Shy Guys and Woozy Guys as you traverse the hill and enter the hut to play the Bouncy Maze minigame. Once done, advance upward and once you reach the platform with the arrow sign by it, flutter to the left to reveal a hidden Winged Cloud, hit it with an egg to get some Stars, progress to the right and watch out for the Shy Guys and Debulls here and also hit the Fly Guys in the air to obtain their treasures, there are also Fleepers to watch out for so be careful of these guys, there are four Stakes on this plateau but only the third one contains a Red Coin, watch out for the Debull at the end and exit the area through the right.
In the next area, tag the Middle Ring and the Tap-Tap here should disappear and turn into a Star, ground pound the Stake to get a Red Coin and tag the Stork Stop to switch to Baby Peach, jump across the Bouncies while avoiding the Debull below, use the next Bouncy to spring to the top of the tall Stake, grab the Smiley Flower on top of it and pound the Stake all the way down to reveal a Winged Cloud, hit the Winged Cloud with an egg to reval a ! Switch, hitting this switch will temporarily activate a gust of wind which propels you to the upper platform, move to the left while collecting Coins but watch out for the Bandit because it will steal your baby if you give him the chance (Bandits can be killed with either three stomps or one ground pound), from here, enter the Pipe.
In this secret area, jump on the Flatbed Ferry, as it moves, use the wind to glide yourself as you grab the Coins (none of them are Red Coins) and at the tracks end, there is a Smiley Flower for you to grab (if you fall, you will land on some clouds below, if this is to happen, advance to the right and exit through the Pipe and make another attempt), once the goodies have been claimed, fall through the Flippers and jump down the Pipe below to return to the main level.
After this, return back to the main path and drop down below the Ferris Wheel to grab four Coins and a Red Coin while avoiding the Bandit, after this, jump back up to the Ferris Wheel and to the upper ledge, be careful of the Eggo-Dil and to get the 1-Up from the Fly Guy below, either toss an egg or hop on it then flutter back up to the ledge before you die. Next, advance to the right and use the Bouncies to reach the upper ledges whilst collecting the Coins. In the pen here guarded by two Stakes on either side, there is a line of Coins with three of them being Red Coins but watch out for the Debull and Bandit, as well as the yellow Shy Guy on the platform, once done, advance to the right to reach the next area.
In the next area, use the Egg Block to fill your egg supply and tag the Stork Stop to switch to Baby Mario, (while there is a flurry of wind in the next area making it good for Baby Peach, Baby Mario is the better choice as most of the next level will require him and his abilities). Move to the right and drop down to grab the Smiley Flower which is inside the Winged Cloud which can be hit with an egg, from here, bounce on the Bouncies to reach the higher ledges and grab the Coins, trigger the hidden Winged Cloud here for some bonus Stars and grab the three Red Coins after sliding through the moving Bouncies, next, jump on the next Bouncy to grab the Coins and the last two Red Coins, then use the next Bouncy to propel to the GOAL! Ring, jump through it to finish the level.
