Yoshi's Story/Controls

Wii U VC allows you to customize controls outside of dpad. Be sure to map the minus button on VC menu and right stick as C buttons

Scoop Lick
Start licking, push your control stick in the direction you are facing, and roll it around the edge to the down position. If you do this fast enough, Yoshi's tongue will be fully extended and pointing downward. Use this technique to reach underneath the edges of platforms. It also works well in Treasure Hunt to reach the areas with shy-guys that yoshis can't otherwise reach.
