To jump over the Pokey at the beginning of the level, jump on top of the palm tree and wait for the Pokey to get near you. When it does, Spin-Jump over it to the double ? Blocks on the other side.
Grab Yoshi from the ? Block at Point 2 to gobble up all the Pokeys in your way!
Tip
Yoshi can devour a Pokey either ball by ball, or all at once. If he snatches a ball from the center of the Pokey, the Pokey will simply shrink in size. If Yoshi eats any part of the Pokey when they turn into oranges, it'll eat it all at once and produce an egg with a power-up, 1-Up Mushroom, or coins. If Yoshi eats just the Pokey's head, it won't eat all of the enemy, but the rest of the Pokey will fall apart.
Star Coin
While on Yoshi, flutter jump up from Point 3 to grab the Star Coin hidden inside the small cloud.
Caution
Watch out for Lakitu! He appears at Point 3 just in time to interfere with you as you try to get the first Star Coin!
Star Coin
Rather than pass over the Piranha Plant at Point 4, prune it with a Spiny or eat it with Yoshi. This will allow you to drop down to where it was planted, then walk to the right into the small niche to the right of the yellow rectangles and the large rectangular boulders.
Walk to the left to drop down into a secret area hidden at the base of the yellow rectangle.
Star Coin
To reach the final Star Coin, hijack the Lakitu’s cloud at Point 5. Climb onto the row of Blocks here, then use a fireball or Yoshi to take out Lakitu.
Jump into his cloud, then ride it to the right, high above the ground to the next Star Coin.
