Follow this guide to find Flower 5 in Yoshi's Island DS! We'll help you navigate the freefalling platforms, avoid pitcher enemies, and grab that elusive collectible.

Alright, let's grab Flower 5 in this level! It's number 20 in the game, so we're getting pretty far along. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it step-by-step.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start on a platform that's just going to plummet. Your goal here is to ride it down, but you'll need to jump off at the right moments to avoid getting zapped by spears. Keep an eye out!
  2. 2
    Once you're past that initial drop, you'll see a couple of platforms on tracks to your right. Jump over to those and ride them along.
  3. 3
    Eventually, you'll reach a platform that starts to sink, and it's got an arrow ball on it. Bounce off that arrow ball to get up to a higher track. Ride this track to the right.
  4. 4
    Watch out for pitcher enemies below – they'll be launching eggs at you! You'll also need to jump over a spear that pops up.
  5. 5
    When the track ends, hop to the platform on the right and head into the next section.
  6. 6
    Here, you'll see a Middle Ring. Jump through it to set a new checkpoint. Phew!
  7. 7
    Now, you need to flutter above the next platform to make it move along its track.
  8. 8
    When you get to a point where there's another track below with a gray platform, drop down onto that gray platform.
  9. 9
    Ride this second platform downwards. You'll see two red coins (that's 14 total for this level so far) – grab 'em!
  10. 10
    The platform will start moving back up. Quickly jump back to the first platform as it's also moving. You'll need to be fast to defeat a Shy Guy in the air who's holding another red coin (that's 15!).
  11. 11
    At the end of this track, jump down to the ground.
  12. 12
    You'll see some tribal Shy Guys ahead. Take 'em out as you move to the right.
  13. 13
    Next up is a tilting platform. Hop on it and stand on the stake to the right.
  14. 14
    Now, this is weird, but you need to let the piranha plant above you eat you! It's on purpose. Don't freak out!
  15. 15
    Quickly grab your baby back from the high ledge and keep going.
  16. 16
    You'll see a wooden box. Ground pound it to get five stars. Then, hit the M blocks (make sure you have Baby Mario with you for this!) to get some eggs back.
  17. 17
    To the right, you'll encounter more tracks with platforms. Ride them and jump above them to progress.
  18. 18
    Be super careful of the giant fish that will leap out of the water trying to eat you!
  19. 19
    At the end of the first track section, you'll find the last Flower for this level! You got it!
Tips
  • Don't linger too long on the freefalling platform at the start; focus on avoiding the spears and getting to the next set of platforms.
  • When you have to jump back to the first platform after collecting the red coins, be quick! The Shy Guy holding the coin can be tricky if you hesitate.
  • The piranha plant part is definitely a surprise, but just trust the process and grab your baby quickly afterwards.
  • Keep an eye on the water for those giant fish – they can really catch you off guard if you're not paying attention.
