Scoring
When Yoshi eats
something, he will show a symbol in a word balloon above his
head. If the symbol is a blue cloud type thing, then you lose a
petal off your Smile Meter. If the symbol is a filled heart, then
you get petals added to your power, and you also get points. The
number of petals added equals the number of hearts shown. The
number of points you get is equal to the total number of hearts
shown (e.g. if Yoshi shows 3 hearts with an "×2" next
to it, you get 6 points but 3 petals). If the symbol is an
outlined heart, then you just get petals added and zero points.
Color controls the
number of hearts shown in the word balloon:
- Eating the Lucky
Fruit of the Day (LFotD) gets Yoshi 8 hearts.
- Eating your
favorite fruit gets Yoshi 3 hearts.
- Eating a Melon
gets Yoshi 3 hearts, plus an extra 100 points, for a
total of 103 points.
- Eating any fruit
EXCEPT your favorite fruit and LFotD gets Yoshi 1 heart.
- Eating/stomping
the same color Shy Guy as Yoshi gets Yoshi 3 hearts.
Remember that pounding the ground will change the color
of Shy Guys.
- Eating a different
color Shy Guy as Yoshi or eating any other normal enemy
gets Yoshi 1 heart.
- Stomping or
pounding on any Shy Guy or normal enemy will earn Yoshi a
"×2" next to the word balloon.
The Lucky Fruit of the
Day is chosen before you start your Story or Trial Mode.
"But what is my favorite fruit?" you may ask.

Black Shy Guys, Chili
Peppers, and anything that doesn't taste good to the regular
Yoshis will give the White & Black Yoshis 1 heart. So if
you're going for maximum points, pick the White or Black Yoshi.
For the maximum amount of points, eat all 30 Melons. Why? Well .
. . there are 30 Melons, 12 LFotD's, and 6 regular fruits in each
course. If you eat all 30 Melons, it'll be easy to go over 5000.
100 × 30 melons = 3000. (3 points per melon) × (# of Melons) =
1395. 3000 + 1395 = 4395. Just get another 605 points and you'll
be over 5000!
Items
- Hearts
- Finding a
Special Heart refills all your power, gets you
100 points, and gives you access to one more
courses on the next Page. Find all 3 Special
Hearts in each course to open every course
on the next Page.
- Eat 6 of
the same fruit in a row, and a Heart Fruit will
float down. Eating one of these small hearts will
refill all your power and make Yoshi Super Happy.
While Super Happy, Yoshi has unlimited eggs,
invincibility from enemies, and a longer tongue.
Make the most of this offensive advantage.
- Miss Warp
These pastel balls of energy are the closest thing to
Warp Zones you'll find in Yoshi's Story. Jump on her to
wake her up. Once you awake more than one, jump on one to
warp you the other Miss Warp you awoke. There are 4 in
each level; when you find Miss Warp #4, you're probably
at the end of the course. If you lose a Yoshi, you'll
restart the level at the last Miss Warp you woke.
- Power Bee
Eating a Power Bee is exactly like eating the LFotD. Not
many around, so eat 'em when Yoshi is really low on
power.
- Power Flower
Eating this flower will refill 2 petals on your Smile
Meter. Every time Yoshi eats it, it regenerates. Go
crazy!
- Power Tulip
Eating one of these will turn Yoshi into a huge egg. Move
the Control Stick to aim, and press A to fire Yoshi into
the air. The longer you hold the Control Stick, the
farther he will travel. Perfect for finding hard-to-reach
areas. The Power Tulips will also regenerate after Yoshi
eats them.
- White Shy Guy
You can only find a White Shy Guy after you've lost one
Yoshi. When you find one, eat 30 fruit to complete the
level and to keep it. On the next Yoshi Select Screen,
select and choose the White Shy Guy as he runs by. He
will go to Bowser's lair and bring back one of the Yoshis
you lost. What a pal!
