Boss: Roger the Potted Ghost
You can defeat it by pushing the pot and dropping it through the hole on the right. It will periodically spit a blue flame, so avoid it and wait for it to disappear. It will also try to push Yoshi away with its face, but you won't take damage from it, so just be careful of the flame.
