Flower 5 (23)

Your step-by-step guide to finding Flower 5 in Yoshi's Island DS, including all red coins and secrets. Don't miss a thing!

Alright, we're heading back to that rainy island for Flower 5. First things first, make sure you've switched to Baby Mario using the Stork Stop. Now, head down the middle pipe – you'll find yourself in a totally different, nighttime area.

Once you're in, dive into the water. You'll need to swim left and right to grab two red coins (that's coins 17 and 18!). After that, it's time for some platforming. Hop up the yellow rotating platforms and aim for the stack of Shy Guys. Give 'em a nudge to knock 'em over!

You'll land on a ship. Look to the right of the Bullet Bill – there's a winged cloud there. Shoot it to get five stars. Below that, there's a group of coins, and guess what? Another red coin (that's 19!) is hiding in there. Keep your eyes peeled!

Now, let's get to the top. You'll need to hop up the ledges that go around the middle pole. Once you reach the highest platform, get a running start. Jump and flutter your way to the left. As soon as you stop fluttering, quickly press the button again to start again. This is key to making it to the leftmost ledge. That's where you'll find the Character Coin for Baby Mario!

Head back to the ship and make your way to the right side. Jump onto the very end of the ship. See that winged cloud? Shoot it, and it'll reveal some stairs. Drop down onto those stairs and collect the coins tucked under the end of the ship – you'll snag red coin number 20 here.

Keep going right and be ready to jump to avoid a giant fish. Right after that, you'll see a pipe next to an arrow sign. Go down that pipe. Inside, you'll find the last Flower you need at the very bottom. You've got it!
