Black Yoshi
Hidden in Levels 2-1 and 2-4.
Black Yoshis
#1: Go to Bone Dragons Dungeon in Story mode (page 2, board 2.) Go most of the way through the board to the tulips. Go to the tulip to the left of Miss Warp. Stand in front of the tulip and eat it. Fire yourself upward and break out of the egg near the ceiling. Grab the black egg and complete the rest of the board as usual.
#2: Go to Page 2, Stage 4. When the level begins go up through a couple of rooms until you reach the room with the ghost snakes in it. Rapidly jump from snake to snake until you see a floating bubble. Pop this with an egg, grab the black egg and finish the level as usual to get Black Yoshi. This Yoshi is even better than white yoshi as he can eat anything including the black heios who carry the blocks on the final page.
#3: This one is found on page 2, level 1. Find the tulip that turns you into an egg and shoot yourself up. You will land on a platform with a bubble -- pop it and you get the black Yoshi egg. You will be able to select Black Yoshi once you finish the level. Note that you can only have ONE Black Yoshi at the time.
#4: Go to Page 2-3. Go through the level until you find a Help Box that tells you about a "big egg." From there, go to the left and jump on the last floating rock, then jump on the one above that, and shoot the "?" bubble with an egg. You will receive the black egg. Beat the level and you have the black Yoshi. Note that you can only have one black Yoshi at the time.
Break Bubbles
To break bubbles without using an egg, simply run into them repeatedly.
Change Shy Guy Colors
To change the color of a Shy Guy, pound the ground next to it.
Egg restore
If Yoshi is low on eggs, is not next to a egg block, and super happy, prepare to fire an egg but cancel that action. Yoshi will put the egg into the inventory and allowing it to be kept.
Heart Fruit Tricks
If you think the only thing that the heart fruit does when you eat it is make you invincible temporarily, you are wrong. Here are some of the other things it can do:
1. It saves you a ton of eggs. If you pound the ground next to a fruit trapped in a bubble when you are invincible, the fruit will break open!
2. It makes your tongue much longer, helpful for getting enemies from a distance.
3. Lastly, if you pound the ground next to a shyguy while you are invincible, the shyguy will turn into fruit!

Mini-eggs
Shrink in "Piranha Groove" (level 4-4). Hit an egg block while shrunk to create a very small egg. Take it while still shrunk. The egg will remain small as you return to normal size. Note: The mini-egg is still as powerful as the full-size version.

Restore Yoshi
Locate and get a white Shy Guy. Complete the current level and enter the character selection screen for the next level. Select the Shy Guy to restore one of the dead Yoshis. Note: If no Yoshis have been lost, the white Shy Guy will not appear.
