Yoshi managed to make it into the Western Corridor. He then ran past several sleeping turtles, who were minding their own business. Yoshi then took time to noticed that several coins were on the ground, and he decided to pick them up. As he did, he then noticed a cave-in hole. He got an idea and grabbed a small rock, and threw it at the caved-in hole. The rocks blocking the cave entrance then tumbled down, revealing the entrance. Yoshi smiled and walked inside. He looked around. There were small snakes slithering around the cave, as well as several dragonflies. Yoshi slowly crept through as he tried to avoid the dragonflies and the snakes. When he got onto the other side, he noticed a star on a rock, and grabbed it.

"Well that pretty much went swell." Yoshi said, as he once again crept slowly back to the entrance.

Once out of the small cave, Yoshi collected more coins. This time, however, he stopped when he saw several plants together. A star was right in front of them. Yoshi smiled and approached the plant, but was then hit by two small rocks. Yoshi looked around to see who threw the rocks, and then he noticed two small Waterraptors.

"Hey bub, get out of here!" The first Waterraptor shouted.

The second Waterraptor snapped in agreement while showing off his claws. "Yeah. This cave is our turf!"

Yoshi scratched his head, and took out his small, red guidebook. "Water raptors... I have to go through this quickly lest I get ripped apart." Yoshi said to himself, thumbing through the book. He stopped at a page that had information on the Waterraptors, and read, "These aquatic beings are small, vicious raptor-like dinosaurs that can adapt to both land and water. They aren't easy to fight off due to their nature within the water, but they can be tricked." Yoshi smiled.

The Waterraptors looked at Yoshi strangely. "What's the matter with you, green tail?" They both asked.

Yoshi pointed somewhere else and said, "Look! Other there just look! It's some prey that has no means idea what is going on!"

The Waterraptors chuckled and started running towards the direction Yoshi pointed to.

Yoshi smiled and chuckled to himself. "Well, they aren't so bright, that's for sure," Yoshi said, as he grabbed the star and started heading off in another direction of the underwater cave.

Yoshi continued walking, when he noticed a star under the water. Yoshi rubbed his chin. "A star underwater? Hmmm..." He got an idea. "Since I'm practically in a cave underwater, I can swim to get the star!" He then walked into the water, and held his breath as he went under.

Yoshi started swimming towards the star, but then he happened to notice some carnivorous Piranha fish coming towards him. Yoshi used his flutter kicks to ward off the pesky carnivorous fish, but he felt pain as he got nibbled by a few other Piranhas. It took several minutes to ward off the Piranhas, but Yoshi managed to do it as he grabbed the star and came back onto the surface.

"PHEW!" Yoshi exclaimed, as he wiped his forehead and placed the star he rescued away. "I have to be more careful around those pesky..." he took out his guidebook and stopped at a page where it revealed Piranhas. "Piranha fish..." He placed it away after learning that Piranhas can be very aggressive, and can sometimes nibble continuously.


King Morton, Kamek, and the Koopa armada walked into the Ankylosaurus Land chambers to find the huge, blocked door. Fortunately for them, the Ankylosaurus guards were knocked out, so King Morton had easy access through the door. Once inside, King Morton and his Koopa armada came face to face with the King of the Ankylosaurus.

"King Ankylosaurus..." King Morton said, grinning, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

King Ankylosaurus looked up, and growled. "Who are you, and what brings you here?"

King Morton chuckled. "I am King Morton Senior Koopa, king of the great Koopas. I have come to address you of a serious crisis."

King Ankylosaurus looked up. "Tell me about it. All of it."

King Morton grinned, and he commanded his troops to leave. Kamek nodded and left with the other henchmen, as the huge door closed and both King Morton and King Ankylosaurus began talking.

"What could be so serious that King Morton told us to leave?" A Primi Goomba asked.

One of the Primi Koopas shrugged. "I don't have a clue. Maybe it's something improtant that we won't understand?"

Another Primi Koopa nodded and pointed at Kamek. "I can see why King Morton wanted to be alone, but what's the deal with him?"

Kamek was meditating, hearing the important discussion King Morton and King Ankylosaurus were having.

The other Primi Koopa scratched his head. "It seems like he's reading King Morton's and King Ankylosaurus's minds."

A Primi Goomba nodded. "It could be."

The other henchmen nodded as they started having conversations with themselves.


Yoshi then started walking towards the Southern corridor, to meet up with Elamo the Elamosaurus. Having gotten 3 stars, Yoshi was sure that Elamo could help. Yoshi then noticed that Elamo was being held up by two Primi Koopas.

"What the?" Yoshi said to himself, as he hid behind a rock and watched what was happening.

One of the Primi Koopas came up to Elamo. "All right, Elamosaurus. Where is that green dinosaur?"

Elamo turned his head the other direction. "Why should I tell you? What are you going to do with him, anyway?"

The other Primi Koopa growled and grabbed Elamo by his neck. "Listen, long stuff, we don't have time for fun and games. We want the damn green Yoshisaurus, and we want him now!"

Elamo hesitated. "I am not telling you!"

The 1st Primi Koopa took out his bone club. "I do not want to have to sink this low, but you leave me no choice." He started whacking Elamo continuously with the bone club.

Yoshi screamed, and then he jumped in front of the two Primi Koopas and Elamo. "You leave him alone, right now!" Yoshi angrily shouted.

The 2nd Primi Koopa smirked. "Well, lookie here. It's the stupid green Yoshisaurus himself."

The 1st Primi Koopa chuckled. "Excellent. Now we can exterminate you, just like King Morton has instructed."

Yoshi growled. "I don't care what you do to me, but you better leave Elamo alone!"

Elamo gasped. "Yoshi... you mean-"

"Bah who cares." The 2nd Primi Koopa said, "We have no interest into that damn senile fool anyway. You are what we're after!"

Yoshi growled and got into a fighting stance. "Bring it on, then! I'm not afraid of boneheads like you shell freaks!"

The two Primi Koopas smirked and took out their bone clubs. "Very well."

And so, Yoshi and the two Primi Koopas started circling each other, and then started fighting. It would be quite a long while for this situation to calm itself down.
