Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy
Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy is the seventh level in World One found in the game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, in which the player controls Red Yoshi for the first time. This level features the introduction of Tap-Taps, trademark enemies to the Yoshi series, as well as Fuzzies. It also features a new mini-game and minor enemies such as Melon Bugs and Mildes.
When the stage starts, Yoshi will find himself in his first jungle/forest area, as opposed to the last levels that all took place in fields, in the sky or underground. The player should walk forward and eat the Melon Bugs around, except for the last one. This one should be eaten but not swallowed, so the player can throw it down at the Piranha Plant, and then pick it up again, and use it to throw it at the Special Flower. Also, where the Piranha Plant was is a secret ? Cloud. Yoshi must use one of his eggs for some stars. As Yoshi continues his way, he will encounter a row of Tap-Taps. As Yoshi continues forward, the player will notice a locked door. For now, he or she shall skip it and continue going on, dodging the Tap-Taps and collecting the coins stuck in the dirt. As he proceeds, the player will see a pipe with Shy Guys frequently coming out of it. Yoshi should eat as many of these as possible and the go back to where the door was. There is a melon hanging from one of the vines. The player should lick it up, and get on the platform above the door by jumping from the platforms to the right (where there is a silver Tap-Tap walking). Yoshi should shoot the dirt with the melon and grab the Special Flower and the two Flashing Eggs. Alternatively, the player may just throw the dirt eggs, instead of using the melon, though it is more convenient to use the melon. Now Yoshi should throw an egg to the dirt above to uncover a ? Cloud. Upon throwing an egg at it, the key to the door below appears. The door will lead to a mini-game against a Bandit. After the game, the player should go forward and touch the Middle Ring for the next section of the level.
Once the Middle Ring has been touched, the player should grab the Special Flower in the way and pick up the red coins. Just a few steps from there, the player will spot the first Fuzzies in the level. Avoiding them is not necessary, as they do no harm, but is recommended, as they can make jumping and aiming notably harder. After walking and hopefully dodging the Fuzzies flying a round for a bit, the player will encounter an Egg Block, in case Yoshi needs eggs. Just forward is another Special Flower. Upon continuing, the player should see a ? Cloud. Throwing an egg at it will reveal stars, so it is highly recommended for the player to not be "dizzy" when shooting it. As the player keeps going on, he or she should see a collection of coins and a Special Flower. After grabbing all these, the player should just continue. There will be some platform jumping in the way, with some Mildes in the way, but it's nothing Yoshi can't go through. At the very far right will be an easy-to-notice ? Cloud just floating there. The player should throw an egg at it for it to provide the player with more stars. As the player advances, he or she will encounter a new zone.
This new zone takes place above some water. There are no enemies in this area, so the only thing worth mentioning are platforms or bridges that, when stepped on, lower a little. These can be Ground Pounded, so they break. Yoshi can then jump in the water and grab some coins. Interestingly, there's also a secret area. Yoshi must get on top of the log and jump. A bouncer will appear. Yoshi must use to get to a secret area high in the sky. This area has some Mufti Guys and Crazee Dayzee, as well as a flower which petals can be eaten over and over again for eggs. The player will see the place empty at first, but the key is to move the Chomp Rock to the far left enough for a ? Cloud to be revealed. Throwing an egg at it will result in a sunflower growing in place. If Yoshi climbs this sunflower, he will find the last remaining red coins of the level, as well as another ? Cloud containing stars, in case the player needs them. The player should now take the pipe, which will take him or her back to the last area. Yoshi should just advance forward and touch the Ring for the level to finish.
