Yoshi and Sluggy the Slugma were both traveling through the narrow path of the volcano. They turned to the right and headed upwards the steep hill, the hot steams hitting their faces. Yoshi wiped his forehead with his right hand as he picked up Sluggy and walked slowly and carefully up the steep hill. Yoshi then placed Sluggy down on the red, magma-hardened ground, and the two friends went through the hole, reemerging on a red platform. They looked up to see the top of the volcano, the red sky visible. Sluggy looked around, and he told Yoshi that they had to head upwards. Yoshi nodded, and he picked up Sluggy, putting the young Slugma on his small red pad and then climbing up the pole, jumping to the platform above them.

Yoshi then opened up his small,red pad. he grabbed Sluggy and placed him into it, closing it shut. Knowing that his Slugma friend would be safe within the pad, Yoshi grinned, and he climbed up the pole, jumping onto the platform above to the right. He grabbed the pole and again jumped upwards on the platform above to the left, walking straight forward to see red, molten magma oozing from the creaks within the magma-hardened wall. He gulped, and he jumped above it, and he started to run. Glancing behind him, Yoshi grimaced as he felt the volcano shake, and it was then that he was plunged upwards by a blast of liquid lava.

Yoshi screamed, but Sluggy popped his head out from Yoshi's pad, and the Slugma fired a burst of ember at the pole within the adjacent platform hovering, causing thew cage containing the cannon to break apart. Yoshi then fell from the stream of lava bursting, and he started falling downwards the volcano. Gasping as he could notice the red, hot, bubbling lava at the bottom starting to rise slowly, Yoshi fluttered upwards and grabbed the pole with his long, red tongue. he climbed up, and then turned to the left, jumping onto the floating area where the cannon was concealed. Yoshi jumped into the cannon, and aimed towards the southern angle of the volcano opening, being shot out from the cannon and soaring through the red, volcanic sky as lava came bursting out of the volcano. Yoshi looked behind him, and smiled, knowing that he would get closer to his and Sluggy's destination. It was then that Yoshi went through the opening of the nearby volcano, and landed in a pool of warm, red, bubbling lava. He cringed, but he shrugged it off and he swam through, the lava making his body temperature go slightly higher.

Swimming towards the red-and-orange, magma-hardened platform in the western direction, Yoshi jumped out from the lava, and shook his body a bit. He took Sluggy out from his red pad, and placed his Slugma friend down. Sluggy smiled, and he slugged upwards the platform, which turned to the right, and was adjacent to rotating blue-and-yellow blocks and flipped every time. Yoshi ran after Sluggy, noticing the rotating blocks. As Sluggy slithered into Yoshi's pad, Yoshi paused for a moment and wondered how he would be able to get on the rotating blocks. Snapping his fingers as he got an idea, Yoshi jumped up twice, and fluttered onto the first rotating block right after it rotated. Yoshi then slowly approached the second rotating block, and jumped up again and fluttered to land on it after it rotated. Yoshi would repeat this a few times as he would jump up towards the platform that jetted out from the magma-hardened walls of the volcano, with his friend Sluggy safely in toe within his small, red pad.
