Yoshi and Scrotty were both heading towards the soccer stadium within the middle of the Brontosaurus Village. Yoshi had already applied to be part of the home team, and he sent Scrotty to the top booth for safety. Scrotty watched carefully and cheered on Yoshi alongside thousands of miniature Brontosauruses and the much larger, looming sauropods that raised their long necks up over the stadium to watch the soccer game start as Yoshi and three armored miniature blue-colored Brontosauruses came running onto the left side of the grassy soccer field, while four orange-colored, armored miniature Barosauruses entered from the right side. The two teams faced each other, growling as a Lakitu referee tossed in the soccer ball, and the gigantic audience cheered as the game of sauropod soccer begun.
Yoshi kicked the ball upward, and he then turned into his egg and rolled towards the other end of the goal. The ball landed back on the grass, but one of the Barosauruses managed to get it, and he started to kick it toward the other side, leaning towards the left. he then passed it to another Barosaurus, who pushed aside one of the three Brontosauruses and kicked it towards the goal. Another Brontosaurus jumped towards the ball and lunged at it, sending it going upwards. Yoshi hatched out of his egg to see the ball coming towards him, but as he prepared to get it, he was tackled by a Barosaurus.
As the ball landed, a different Barosaurus kicked the ball towards the right, where the Barosaurus who tackled Yoshi kicking the ball back towards the other side. Two Brontosauruses tackled into him, and the ball went upward, kicked by the third Brontosaurus towards Yoshi. Yoshi then jumped to the left as a Barosaurus jumped in the ball's way and prevented it from going into the goal. Yoshi growled as he watched the Barosaurus run towards the other side towards the right, and the green Yoshisaurus turned into his egg and started rolling towards him. The Barosaurus kicking the ball glanced behind him to see Yoshi coming towards him, and he jumped to the left, avoiding being rolled over. However, he was tackled by a Brontosaurus, who kicked the ball upwards. Yoshi hatched out of his egg and jumped right in front of his team's goal, kicking the ball back towards the other side.
As the two Brontosauruses on Yoshi's team both ran to the ball, a Barosaurus snatched it and kicked it towards the right, to another Barosaurus. The Barosaurus chuckled and he used his long tail to whip the third Brontosaurus, and he was accompanied by his fellow teammates as he whipped the ball into the goal, scoring a point. Yoshi sighed as he and his Brontosaurus teammates returned to the middle of the soccer field, the audience cheering loudly as the confident Barosaurus team also returned to the center. The Lakitu referee blew his whistle, and tossed in another soccer ball.
The soccer game has barely started. For Yoshi, this was only a mere, small step to what would continue his ultimate, much larger goal.
