Credits/Thanks ___________________________________________________________ _ 1. INTRODUCTION ___________________________________________________________ _ Hi, this is a guide for Yoshi�s Island DS that tells how to collect all Character Coins. Only certain babies can collect each special coin, but I�ll tell you who collects what! Every stage has a Character Coin. However, all 5 Secret and Extra levels don�t include a coin, and World 5-8 doesn�t have a coin. Since there are 8 normal stages in each world, and there are 5 worlds, 5x8=40. However, since 5-8 doesn�t have a coin, you�ll have to subtract by one to know that there are 39 Character Coins throughout the guide. To organize my guide, I have the Table of Contents and then the Introduction, which you�re looking at, and then the controls and then the guide to collecting each coin, and then the �Thank Yous� of the guide and Credits. ___________________________________________________________ _ 2. MOVES ___________________________________________________________ _ In Yoshi�s Island DS, are several control modes visible from the Options menu. I�ll say how to do what in each mode to show the controls. Here we go! - Jumping: In Patient Mode, press B to jump. In Hasty mode, press B to jump. In Patient�s second version, press A to jump. In Hasty�s second version, press A to jump. - Flutter-Jumping: Hold the Jump button of each mode to Flutter-Jump. - Making Eggs: Press Y in Patient or Hasty mode to eat a nearby object, or enemy.

Once an object or enemy is in your mouth, press down on the D-Pad to make an egg. - Throwing Eggs: With eggs in stock, press R or A to start a cursor in Patient/Hasty�s first mode. In the second version of each mode, press R to start the cursor. Once the cursor is started, aim where you want to shoot and press the button used before, again to shoot an egg. - Moving: To move around, use the D-Pad in any mode and press left or right. Press up to look up, and press Down to crouch or look down if you�re at the Top Screen.
