Mario's Fleet Feet is the third level of World 1 in Yoshi's Island DS. A Cyan Yoshi takes control in this level. The level takes place in large tunnels and houses located in a forest of colorful pine trees.

Stork Stops will appear in this level after Catch the Breeze! is completed.

As you start walking along the rocky flooring, the monstrous Super Big Tap-Tap will emerge and attempt to run you down destroying the rocky flooring as it goes. Don't stop for even a second, keep running from the colossal monster collecting Coins, Red Coins, and even a Smiley Flower. After this, jump through the Flippers, you're safe now as the Super Big Tap-Tap cannot fit through and will descend into the pit below. Tag the Middle Ring and enter the "house", use your eggs to bust open the blocks of sand blocking the way forward (or use the Shy Guys which emerge from the pipe if you're low on or out of eggs.

Hop up on the platforms and launch an egg at the diagonal Coin lines, they should ricochet off the wall and bounce into the diagonal Coin line above (which includes two Red Coins) as well as the Smiley Flower from here, advance to the right and launch an egg at the large sand chunks diagonally to create a path to the platforms above, which contains a Red Coin. Drop back down to the main level and get some eggs from the Egg Block and use the Chomp Rock to shred through the enemies in your way. After dealing with the pests, be sure to grab the Coins at the path's end as two of them are Red Coins and hit the Winged Cloud to get some Stars. After this, move on to the next area.

The Kangaroo has extraordinarily high hops and can also float in mid-air briefly, keep hopping across the area collecting Coins and the Smiley Flower at the end and then hop out of the Kangaroo's pouch and exit through the pipe at the end to return to the main level. Destroy the Box and the sand chunks below it and grab the Red Coin above the Stake and pound the Stake to get another Red Coin inside it, next, ground block the cracked block to reach the Smiley Flower and exit the niche through the Flippers, after this, avoid the Piranha Plants and Shy Guys (or beat them), grab the Baby Coin (if you can), and jump through the GOAL!
