'''Cloud Cruising''' is the aerial [[level]] 3-1 in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. In this level, the [[Yoshi]] must ride on [[Snake (Yoshi's Story)|snakes]] that climb higher and higher into the sky. Also in the level is a friendly green [[dragon]] that the [[Yoshi]] can ride while it curves up and down. Big [[Fly Guy|Flying Shy Guy]]s fly around directly in front of the "pathways", trying to hit Yoshi. [[Cloud N. Candy]] is fought at the end of this stage.

The hidden [[Heart Coin]] letter for this stage is S.

==Layout==
The level starts with a blue snake Yoshi can ride. Over to the right, there is a small section with [[Shy Guys]], but the level continues with another blue snake that leads to some cloud platforms where a pink snake can be found. This one goes upwards, to another pink snake that also goes up, where a third one brings Yoshi to some cloud platforms. A blue snake there will zigzag through the sky to a [[vase]], through a section where Flying Shy Guys are found. 

The vase warps Yoshi to a section with more Flying Shy Guys and then, through another vase, Yoshi reaches a section with a green dragon. At the end of the dragon's path, there is a vase that brings Yoshi back to the beginning of the level. Before riding the dragon, Yoshi can enter a red pipe that brings him to a section with many small cloud platforms and [[Poochy]].

==Storybook segment==
''As the Yoshis were walking, they found a trail of clouds that led to the sky. The Yoshis were afraid of falling, but they walked on the clouds anyway. Up in the sky, they met [[Cloud N. Candy]], who was mean, but tasted sweet.''

==Trivia==
*The level 7-3 in [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' is partly comparable to Cloud Cruising, as one section has an area where [[Mario]] rides on a giant [[Wiggler]], similar to the area where the Yoshi rides on the dragon.
