Yoshi and Marowak both faced each other on top of the ceiling of the tall, haunted tower, the rain starting to pour down as loud thunder boomed. The Marowak tossed his bone club towards Yoshi, but Yoshi managed to swiftly smack it back with his tail. The Marowak jumped out of the way, and he fired several bright stars from his mouth towards Yoshi, which dealt quite enough damage.

Yoshi screamed as he used his arms to protect his head from being blasted by the stairs. The Marowak then slammed down on Yoshi, causing the green Yoshisaurus to be stuck within the floor while the brown-colored reptilian grabbed his bone club and ran towards Yoshi, firing more bright stars from his mouth at Yoshi, doing enough damage to cause Yoshi not to struggle. Grinning devilishly, the Marowak then spun his bone club around in the air, and then repeatedly whacked Yoshi in the face. As the bright blue lightning bolt cracked in the stormy sky, and as the thunder boomed loudly while the rain poured harder and harder by the minute, the Marowak continued to smack Yoshi, until Yoshi used his long, red tongue to wrap around the Marowak's right leg and cause him to fall backwards. The Marowak got back up, but Yoshi was able to succeed in getting out from the floor, fluttering within the air as he popped out three green-spotted eggs and tossed one of them at the Marowak.

Marowak blocked the first egg with his bone club, and tossed it towards Yoshi, the bone club spinning around like a boomerang. Yoshi scoffed as he turned around and flicked his tail, causing the bone club to whirl back towards the Marowak. The Marowak was caught by surprise as he ducked the whirling bone club, but was hit right in the head by the second egg. Yoshi then dropped down towards the floor with a ground pound, shaking the area to cause the Marowak to stumble onto his face. Yoshi then tossed the third egg at the Marowak's face, doing enough damage to stun him as Yoshi ran up to the injured brown-colored reptilian and jumped only three inches above, using his flutter kicks to do repeated damage down on the Marowak's back. The Marowak then grabbed Yoshi's legs, and slammed Yoshi down, following with a Mega Punch to the stomach.

Yoshi's eyes nearly popped out as he was gutted, but he used his long, red tongue to smack Marowak in the face, enough to cause Marowak to fall backwards. Yoshi then grabbed the whirling bone club with his tongue and smacked Marowak on the head, doing enough damage to defeat the Marowak. Cheering to himself, Yoshi chucked the bone club back of him, where it tumbled feet down, before finally reaching the ground level and cracking into tiny pieces of bones. The Marowak gasped, looking at Yoshi as he felt no motion within his body.

"You're... you are good, kid," The Marowak complimented, grinning before coughing, adding, "But don't be so cocky. If you want to get through here, you'll need this key to reach the ruler of this blasted jungle."

Yoshi scratched his head with confusion. "Huh?"

The Marowak then stood up, handing Yoshi a golden-colored key. Glaring into the green Yoshisaurus's face, the Marowak stated firmly, "Use that key to enter into the lair of the ruler. Once there, you will be able to determine whether you be a true warrior or not. Now go! Begone from my sight, for my tower and my spirit need eternal slumber..." With that said, the Marowak punched Yoshi off the tower, and watched as he tumbled towards the jungle. With Yoshi completely away from the tower, the Marowak muttered a strange chant as the darkness surrounded the haunted tower, and sunk it below the ground, the rain stopping as the thunderstorm passed.

Yoshi popped his head from the bushes, to see that the haunted tower was no more. Frowning, Yoshi got out of the bushes and headed back to the tropical jungle, leaving the darkness behind.
