The Very Loooooong Cave is the fifth level of World 6 in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. The level starts out in a cave. The screen begins to scroll, forcing the player through traps such as Lava and Chomp Rocks. During the very long descent, the Yoshi encounters many Lava Drops and Boo Guys before having to ride a few Flatbed Ferries.

Overview[edit]

Purple Yoshi starts out near two small lava spots on the ground, and a Lava Drop. Accompanying the autoscrolling screen, Yoshi will find Icicles on the ceiling, which can harm him if he is not careful. He will also find here a pipe spawning Boo Guys, and a Chomp Rock. Yoshi will have to jump over lava spots, while dodging Icicles and Flamer Guys. A Flower can be found above one of the lava spots.

Next, Yoshi will find a Winged Cloud, some Boo Guys and Lava Drops, and eventually a Fly Guy holding a Red Coin. A Chomp Rock will start to roll in Yoshi's direction, which pushes him to the nearby lava spot in the ground, where Yoshi can use Flatbed Ferries to reach the other side. Another Fly Guy holding a Red Coin will appear, as well as a Flamer Guy.

Next, the screen will start to scroll up, and Yoshi will have to use several platforms to progress. Another Flower can be collected among the platforms. Boo Guys, Chomp Rocks, and a single Fly Guy will appear to hinder the player. The Fly Guy, however, holds a Red Coin.

Next, the screen will scroll to the right, and Yoshi will find a Lava Bubble jumping in and out of a lava spot in the ground. Yoshi must to dodge Boo Guys and Lava Drops. In order to jump over a large lava spot, Yoshi will have to hit two icicles in the ceiling with eggs. A Chomp Rock will suddenly fall off the top of the screen, which Yoshi can use to cross a lava spot. A door can be found between two platforms, leading to a corridor with a Middle Ring, an Egg Block, and grey walls that can be destroyed with eggs. There are also many invisible Winged Clouds in this area, often giving out coins and 1-Ups. Yoshi will eventually find a watermelon in this area, allowing him to spit seeds that can destroy the grey walls with ease. In the end of this area, Yoshi can collect Red Coins and a Flower.

The next door will lead him to a small maze-like area with Flightless Skeleton Goonies, walking one behind the another in an attempt to harm Yoshi. These foes, however, will be defeated by a Chomp Rock. The next area involves Yoshi jumping in several small platforms, with Chomp Rocks falling from the top of the screen, and ground pounding posts, where Red Coins are hidden. Right after this, Yoshi will find the goal.

Trivia[edit]

• The level The Cave That Never Ends from Yoshi's Island DS is similar in both name and design to The Very Loooooong Cave.

Endless World of Yoshis, or Crazy Maze Days,^[1] is the Secret Level of the final World in Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. It is the last Secret Level in the game, and is a difficult and time-consuming level. It contains many puzzles and difficult platforming challenges. The player must make use of the surrounding enemies to get a score of 100.

Layout[edit]

The level starts with an automatic side-scrolling section, with many small platforms and no ground to land on if the player falls. There are many enemies in important locations such as on platforms, making it hard for the player to keep up with the screen safely.

Once the player clears this section, they will enter a Warp Pipe into a castle area where the layer must fall down a long distance while avoiding many Thorns suspended in midair, which will cause the player to lose a life if hit. There is a Middle Ring at the bottom if the player survives the fall; however, it is generally wise to complete more of the level before using it, as the level has many areas which lead back to the same room, with the thorns having to be avoided again.

From here the player can choose to take the left or right path, both containing Flowers and Red Coins which are needed to get a 100% score for the level. There are rooms at the end of each path, with several choices of doors to go through. One on each end leads to the left or right area of a grassy section of the level, which has the tutorial music. This area contains 2 Flowers and several red coins. Once the player has all the collectibles from this area, they must go back to the room with the lava and midair spikes to get to a different door.

Eventually, the player can use a Key to enter a vast, lava-filled cave area. This area contains 2 more Flowers, and many pits full of spikes which can instantly defeat Yoshi. After manipulating a Chomp Rock to hold a One-Way Gate open, the player can get a key to an area where a Super Star is needed to progress.

When the player clears the cave area, they will enter one of two final sections of the level; a short flowery field that is an exact replica of Welcome To Yoshi's Island with the Goal and a pit, or if an alternative path is taken, right before the entrance to said Goal. However, it has the addition of Kamek attacking the player every few seconds, making it harder to complete. Just before the Goal is the final Flower, in a Winged Cloud.

The Pipe leads to a simple underground room which features a pit, a and a lot of coins. Super mario world 2 yoshi's island rom.
