Advanced Techniques[edit]

Scoop Lick[edit]

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.

  1. Map the minus button to the VC menu.
