Yoshi's Birthday at the Glitz Pit

One day in Yoshi's Island, Yoshi was relaxing in the sun when suddenly, he saw the date on his calendar. Today is his birthday! Yoshi smiled to himself and said, "It's my birthday! I can't wait to celebrate this day with my friends!"

Just then, Parakarry came in with the letter and said, "Mail Call!"

Yoshi picked up the letter and said, "Thanks, buddy!"

"Anytime! Happy birthday!"

Yoshi waved goodbye to him as he opened the letter. He read it and said, "Hey there, buddy! Rawk Hawk here with a thing waiting for you, Yoshi. I know that today is your special day and I'm planning a special occasion at the Glitz Pit. So, if you want it, then head on over! Rawk on, buddy! Rawk on! From Rawk Hawk."

When he was done reading, he said, "Wow! A special occasion for me? That's great! Time to get some joy and head to the Glitz Pit! Let's go!"

So Yoshi ran to his Egg 1 go-kart and drive his way to Rogueport.

When he got there, he parked his kart and ran to the Cheep-Cheep Blimp. Yoshi took out his ticket and said, "Here's my ticket to Glitzville. I have a special item waiting at the Glitz Pit."

Steward agreed with him and said, "Alright then! We shall take you there right now. All aboard!"

Then the Cheep-Cheep Blimp took off to the skies and began flying towards the Glitz Pit arena in Glitzville. Yoshi is so excited as he was watching the clouds float by. This is going to a long flight for him.

When the blimp is approaching the Glitz Pit, Yoshi said, "There it is! Glitzville is straight ahead and the arena is right there, waiting for my special thing! Let's go!"

Finally, the blimp landed on Glitzville. Steward said, "Welcome to Glitzville, everyone! Thanks for flying the Cheep-Cheep Blimp!"

Yoshi came out of the blimp and ran straight towards the arena entrance. He said, "There it is, the Glitz Pit and look, another note."

Yoshi took out the note and said, "The special thing is in the ring. Go to the red door of the arena."

Without another word, Yoshi ran to the lobby and then to the backstage corridors until, he came to the right door. Yoshi said, "This is it, the red door. Let's go inside, shall we? One, two, three... GO!"

Then Yoshi opened the door and then...

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOSHI!"

Yoshi was surprised! It was a special surprise party for him at the arena and Yoshi was overjoyed! Rawk Hawk hugged him and said, "Happy birthday, buddy!"

"Thanks, Rawk!" Yoshi replied with a high five.

Jolene also came to him and said, "Happy birthday, Yoshi! You are one of my favorite fighters here at the arena and for that, we have a special surprise for you. Ready?"

"Ready!" Yoshi agreed.

Then Jolene said to him, "Your special surprise is... A SPECIAL MATCH!"

Then the blue door opened up and in steps Mario. Jolene then said, "For being a great fighter, I've planned a special match just for you and Mario and look, the crowd is here for this occasion so, are you ready to brawl?"

Yoshi jumped for joy and said, "Let's fight!"

Then the gong sounded as Yoshi begins his fight against Mario. What a joyful birthday for Yoshi.
