You can hit enemies and not take damage. With a ground pound, all the White Shy Guys on the screen will change to Lucky Fruit. All the eggs you can throw! Yoshi tongues are 1* times as long as their bodies!Green Yoshi[ PICTURE: Watermelon ] FavoriteBlue YoshiLight Blue Yoshi[ PICTURE: Grapes ] Favorite                                                                          19___________________________________________________________________Yoshi's Answer BoxWell? Have you cleared all the courses? For those who are having a difficulttime, let me answer a few common questions.My eggs don't always hit enemies. Why? Where are you placing the cursor? The egg will fly only as far as where you locate the cursor. It won't hit an enemy beyond that point. Also, it's not always necessary to throw an egg, sometimes it's easier to just swallow.When I swallow an enemy, sometimes the Smile Meter drops. What's up with that? Yoshi's not really a picky eater and will swallow just about anything. The problem is, if he eats something he doesn't like, it will make him a little unhappy and a few petals will drop. A simple solution is to not eat the things that Yoshi doesn't like!I fall easily. What should I do? When you are almost done with flutter jumping, press the A Button in time and you can Flutter Jump continuously. Practice and you can float for a very long distance. At dangerous places, stop and confirm what's ahead by pushing the Control Stick [up] and [down].                                                                          20___________________________________________________________________When I ground pound, why does the color of the Shy Guys change? I don't know why they do, but that's just what happens. Yoshis have their favorite color Shy Guys too. When Yoshi swallows a tasty enemy, the Smile Meter will recover. Eating favorite Shy Guys will increase Yoshi's Mood (Score). So, for maximum points, change the enemy color to your favorite with a ground pound before you swallow it.In the middle of nowhere, I accidentally did a ground pound and a melonappeared! How does that work? Hidden in the courses are many fruit that you cannot see. You can find melons and Lucky Fruit too! To find these, "Sniff-Sniff" with the R Button. When Yoshi approaches a suspicious place, the speed of sniffing will increase. When he gets to the exact place, he'll make a noise and let you know. Then, pound the ground right there! Besides fruit, other things might appear too. To get a high score, Sniff-Sniffing is crucial.[ PICTURE: Rumble Pak ] This game is compatible with the N64 Rumble Pakª (sold separately). Insert a Rumble Pak in your N64 Controller, and it will rumble when Yoshi takes damage, Flutter Jumps, ground pound, etc. With it, you can "feel" like Yoshi when playing.When you use a Rumble Pak, be careful with the following: *Before use, make sure you carefully read the instruction booklet included  with the Rumble Pak *Remove and insert the Rumble Pak only when the POWER switch is in the OFF  position. *Use care when handling the batteries.
