Find the third Flower in Yoshi's Island DS Level 3 (42)! This guide walks you through the tricky bird-riding and bouncing sections to snag that collectible.

Alright, let's grab that third Flower in Level 3-42! This part can be a little tricky with all the flying and bouncing, but we'll get through it together.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First off, you'll need to jump up to the ledges above you to get out of the starting area. Once you're up there, head up the hill.
  2. 2
    You'll see some flying birds. Hop onto one of them to reach the first ledge above the big pit. From there, jump across to the ledge that has a rubber ball on it.
  3. 3
    Use the rubber ball to bounce yourself upwards. You'll need to hop onto another high-flying bird. Ride this bird to the right, but be ready to hop up and down to keep from sinking too low.
  4. 4
    Keep going right until you reach a high ledge. Head up the hill there and grab the two red coins at the top. That's red coins 13 and 14!
  5. 5
    Now, head back down the hill to the right. You'll see an enemy. Shoot an egg at it to knock it aside, and then collect the next red coin (15).
  6. 6
    From there, drop off the right edge to the area below. Head left and you'll find some bird heads you can bounce on. Use them to reach a red coin that's floating above.
  7. 7
    Once you've got that red coin, go back to the right and jump onto the platform below that has a ball on it.
  8. 8
    Look up! You should see a bird flying to the right. Bounce upwards using the ball and hop onto this bird. Ride it to the upper-right ledge.
  9. 9
    Land on this ledge and go to the right. You'll need to jump onto the platform above the Shy Guys.
  10. 10
    Now for the Flower! Jump and flutter across the air to the right. The third Flower is waiting for you right there in the air!
Tips
  • Don't worry if you miss the bird on the first try; just keep trying to hop on.
  • Pay attention to the bird's flight path so you don't sink too low while riding it.
  • The Shy Guys on the platform can be a nuisance, so try to get past them quickly to reach the Flower.
