Make Way for King Bowser! is the final level of World 6 in Yoshi's New Island, and by extension, the game. It can only be accessed after the player has completed all of the main levels without using the Flutter Wings power-up.

Layout[edit]

Green Yoshi starts the level from a platform on the lava, near Bowser. He frequently summons Metal Guys that Yoshi must swallow and throw at Bowser. Repeating this process three times will defeat Bowser, but suddenly, Kamek appears, growing Bowser to giant size. The player must then combat with Giant Bowser in a battle similar to the one with Giant Baby Bowser from the previous level, but more difficult. Once Yoshi throws Mega Eggdozers to Bowser's mouth three times, he will finally be defeated. Yoshi then can find Baby Luigi by walking to the right, and the ending rolls.

Trivia[edit]

• If the player exits this level, the flag will be on the top of the volcano, but the '6' seems more pinkish. If this is done, the player will have to complete the previous level again in order to enter this level, as it can't be played freely from the World Map.

The Yoshi's Island series^[1] is a video-game sub-series of the Yoshi franchise. It is a series of 2D side-scrolling platformers starring Yoshi, who has the unique ability to throw eggs to defeat enemies. The games generally feature a colorful, storybook-like art style. The games function as prequels to the present era of the Mario franchise, as they are set in the infancy of Mario and Luigi, where the Yoshis must work to save Baby Mario and others, including Baby Luigi, from the machinations of Kamek and Baby Bowser. Indeed, the defining trait of the series is that the controlled Yoshi carries a baby character, who ends in a bubble when the former is hurt. When this happens, Yoshi has a set number of seconds to rescue Mario, which can be increased in various ways.^[1] The series is primarily developed by Nintendo EAD, with some games being developed by Artoon or other companies. The series began with a console title, but switched to a focus on handheld entries with Yoshi's Island DS.

Gameplay[edit]

The basic gameplay of the Yoshi's Island series is that of a 2D side-scrolling platformer. In addition to the basic run and jump actions, the Yoshi being played as is able to use their tongue to manipulate objects and to eat enemies in most of the games. Once an enemy is eaten, it can be ejected or swallowed. If swallowed, the Yoshi will be able to lay an egg which can be thrown at objects or at enemies. The Yoshi can obtain various power-ups to help complete the level, many of which involve transforming into various vehicles. The baby that the Yoshi carries on his back (usually Baby Mario) can also give the Yoshi various abilities to aid it. The defning feature of the series is the fact that, when the Yoshi is hit by an obstacle that does not make him lose immediately a life, the baby he is carrying ends in a bubble and a timer starts to decrease. If the Yoshi does not manage to pop the bubble before the timer reaches 0, some enemies, typically Toadies, kidnap the baby and the Yoshi loses a life.

The spin-offs in the series feature somewhat different gameplay. In Yoshi Touch & Go, the player must draw lines of clouds with the Nintendo DS Touch Screen, guiding Yoshi and Baby Mario away from enemies as they float down. Enemies can be defeated by drawing bubbles around them or by throwing eggs obtained from eating fruit at them.
