Bonus Challenges are Bonus Games in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, its remake, and Yoshi's Island DS. When a Yoshi reaches the goal roulette and the roulette lands on a flower, then a Bonus Challenge can be instantly played. In the original Yoshi's Island, a specific Bonus Challenge can also be unlocked and played anytime after getting 800 points in a world; in the later two games, they can be accessed after getting 700 points in a world.

The list of Bonus Challenges are below.

In Yoshi's Island and its remake, the Bonus Challenges available after getting a flower at the goal roulette depends on the world currently being played, as follows:

  • World 1: Flip Cards / Scratch and Match
  • World 2: Drawing Lots / Slot Machine
  • World 3: Match Cards / Roulette
  • World 4: Scratch and Match / Drawing Lots
  • World 5: Flip Cards / Roulette
  • World 6: Match Cards / Slot Machine

Trivia[edit]

  • Drawing Lots was the only Bonus Challenge that did not appear in Yoshi's Island DS, most likely due to the fact that the game has only five worlds as opposed to six, and that the player couldn't use items in this game.
  • In Yoshi's Island DS, the background music shares some similarities with the underwater theme from the original Super Mario Bros.

Hint: Defeating Naval Piranha Plant:

Hint: Kill shooting flowers:
Stand besides a shooting flower until its smiling face pops out. When it does, quickly eat a yellow ball and spit it out again. Do this repeatedly until all of the balls are gone. When this is done, every time its head pops out, it should be empty and harmless.

Hint: World 1-7: Easy lives:
Pick up a Rollie-Pollie Guy with your tounge. Do not turn him into an egg or spit him out for anyone until you get to the pipe that spits out Shy-Guys. Once there, spit the Rollie-Pollie Guy out into a 1 (square) hole on the right of the pipe. Once placed, jump onto the platform above and to the right of it. Let the Shy-Guys jump out of the pipe and onto the Rollie-Pollie Guy. Points will accumulate and will eventually give you 1-Ups continually. After a few hours, you will have 999 lives.

Hint: World 1-9: Easy lives:

If done correctly, the bug should fall in the tiny space on the right side of the pipe, between it and landscape. Stand on the elevated surface and make sure you have no eggs. The Shy Guys will pop out towards you, but hit the bug. You will keep getting extra lives until you have 100. Then, get a perfect completion on World 5 and you will get the roulette game. If you get the X3; you will get 300 lives.

Hint: World 2-3: Use Star through rest of level:
In World 2-3, What's Gusty Taste Like?, collect the Star and run as far as you can, killing the enemies. Go back and wait for the Star to come towards you. Once it bounces back in another area, collect it and run through the rest of the level, and more Stars will be created. At the end of the level, you can collect Coins and Stars from the brick below the last Star. If you do not want to stop, run back to the left and back to the right again. The Star will appear again.

Hint: World 3-1: Hidden area
There is a location in the water in World 3-1 where you can go beneath a land mass to access a hidden area, by jumping off of a giant spring arrow. If you curve to the side and go above the normal hidden entrance, you should enter an area where you will be falling towards nothing. Keep going right (stay in the air as long as possible) until you reach the edge. You will be teleported to World 1-1 (and gain credit toward World 3-1) where you can gain more red coins and hearts than the maximum. It will only go to the top, but it will be 10 times easier to perfect the level.

Yoshi

Hint: World 4-1: Easy lives:
Go up the first steep hill until you get to three pipes and a Koopa walking around. Two will have Piranha plants and one will be a Shy-Guy generator. Throw away an egg so Shy-Guys will start jumping out. Kill the two Piranha plants, eat the Koopa and stand on the pipe. Spit the Koopa shell towards the Shy-Guys. The shell will bounce between the two pipes, knocking out the Shy-Guys. As soon as ten Shy-Guys are knocked out, you will start getting a 1-Up for each consecutive Shy-Guy. The shell will keep bouncing around, killing the Shy-Guys that pop out. You can get up to 999 lives this way.

Island

Hint: World 4-8: Defeating the monstrous Koopa:
When you see the Koopa turn into a giant Koopa, wait for him to pull himself up or quickly throw an egg on its head. Then, throw eggs on its head three times. This will send him to the ground. While he is on the ground, Ground Pound him before he recovers. Repeat this process three times to defeat it. Note: To obtain more eggs, jump onto his shell or on its head. Eggs will be spit out.

Hint: World 5-4: Free mini-games:

Hint: World 6-3: Hidden area:

Hint: Naval Piranha's Lair: Full stars:
After you go underground in the pipes with water in them, you will reach a place where you hit the arrows with eggs, and you can get the stuff above the water. One of the info blocks always gives you two stars whenever you hit it with an egg. Since there is an egg block near by, you can do this until you have 30 Stars.

Hint: Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy: Unlimited lives:
Grab a Melon Bug (the creature that rolls up into a ball) and go to the pipe with Shy Guys jumping out of it. Spit the Melon Bug close to the pipe on the left-hand side. When Shy Guys jump out, after a while you will get a '1-Up' for each time a Shy Guy hits the Melon Bug when it is in its melon form.

Hint: Welcome To Cloud World: Followed by eggs:
In this level or any other that has a large fat creature with many following behind it, Ground Pound the large one and the baby ones will follow you as eggs. When you throw one, it will loop and come back to you.

Glitch: Yoshi does flips:
When you find an enemy that you cannot defeat by jumping on them, repeatedly Ground Pound them. It will look as if Yoshi is doing flips on the enemy. Note:You must do this very fast.

Glitch: World 11-1: Free roaming Poochy:
In World 1-11, 'Poochy Ain't Stupid', you can have Poochy free roaming without the scrolling course. At the start of the level, keep jumping on Bats without hitting the 'scrolling course barrier' until you get on top of the wall to the wall that is to the left of you at the start of the level. Once on top, jump and keep doing Yoshi's 'flutter' or 'floating' move until you reach what appears to be an island. Land on it. Then, jump off to the right, fluttering until you reach an island surrounded by lava. Poochy should see you and run over. You now can go through the entire course without the scrolling course freely. The only drawback is if you go under the 'island' (second wall), you will hit the 'scrolling course barrier', then must ride Poochy to the end of the course.
