Complete Yoshi's Island 3 in Super Mario World. Collect all 5 Dragon Coins and find the checkpoint.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Jump up the ledges, then right to the first moving wooden platform. Let it go around once to collect coins, then jump off at the right ledge.
  2. 2
    Observe the yellow blocks that expand from 1 block to 5 blocks and back again. If you activated the ! blocks in the yellow switch palace, they will stop you if you fall.
  3. 3
    Collect the first Dragon Coin.
  4. 4
    Proceed onto the next ledge, then to the wooden platform, and jump off at the next ledge.
  5. 5
    Hit the second block to get Yoshi.
  6. 6
    Make your way across the moving platforms to the next green ledge.
  7. 7
    Eat the koopa, and drop off the platform to land on a yellow pipe below. Enter the pipe.
  8. 8
    In the cave, activate the P-Switch. Cross the newly formed blocks to get the second Dragon Coin at the end.
  9. 9
    Exit through the green pipe.
  10. 10
    Head right to the checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death).
  11. 11
    Jump on and eat the approaching koopa, then collect the third Dragon Coin.
  12. 12
    Head right to the set of yellow blocks, jump on them, then proceed to the next ledge.
  13. 13
    Jump onto the moving platform, then to the next ledge, then onto the moving wooden platform.
  14. 14
    Jump off at the expanding yellow blocks (aim to land in the middle to be safe) and go across the other ones to get the fourth Dragon Coin.
  15. 15
    Proceed onto the ledge, then across more platforms to the ledge with a star block above.
  16. 16
    If you have 30 coins or above, you will get an extra life from this star block.
  17. 17
    Head across the two wooden platforms and collect the fifth and final Dragon Coin by the sign.
  18. 18
    Head right to the exit.
Tips
  • The moving wooden platform moves in a circle.
  • The yellow blocks expand and contract; be mindful of their timing.
  • Landing in the middle of the expanding yellow blocks is the safest approach.
  • Having 30 or more coins before reaching the star block grants an extra life.
