Point Explanation

Point 1 (Bonus Area)

Play the Melon Delivery. At the start, the Melon Boxes will fall at intervals. Keep the Melon Boxes as vertical as possible by making small movements left and right. It's best to keep the top of the box you're holding aligned with the falling boxes on the same horizontal position.

Jump the first ledge while keeping the Melon Boxes slightly tilted forward. To get past the Black Shy Guy, first, wait just to the left of him and keeping the Melon Boxes as vertical as possible. After the weight held by him moves upward, step back slightly to intentionally tilt the Melon Boxes forward about 40°angle and then dash through. (If the Melon Boxes became too tilted after passing through, you can straighten them by continuing to dash towards the wall.)

On the conveyor belt, tilt the Melon Boxes forward by about 30–40°angle and move quickly. Stop just before the second Black Shy Guy's weight, and pass through while the weight falls and the Black Shy Guy comes down.

Point 2 (Castle Area 4)

You must hit the Mystery Block 10 times continuously. Use the Boo Block as a platform, since hitting from the ground won't get you there in time. The Boo Block moves toward Yoshi while he's facing away, and turns into a block when Yoshi looks at it.

Boss: Baby Bowser

At first, the Baby Bowser moves by riding on a ghost. Throw the Bob-omb falling down towards the spikes above, drop them and hit Baby Bowser. Alternatively, you can attack by hitting Baby Bowser directly with the Bob-omb.

If you have the egg, you can either throw it to drop the spikes or hit Baby Bowser directly with the fireworks for the attack. It's also possible to defeat Baby Bowser without moving him at all, simply by throwing the egg right after the start (throwing it without even moving the egg cursor from the starting position).

After taking three hits, he will come down to the ground and start attacking with fire breath and Ground Pound. You can defeat him by either hitting him with a Bob-omb or by hitting him three times with egg fireworks.

There is a Super Happy Tree in the area, and fruits will be endlessly replenished, allowing you to heal as much as you want. Additionally, you can become invincible by using a Heart Fruit.
