'''Marching Milde''' is a giant [[Milde]] appearing in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its remake]]. She is the mid-boss of [[World 4 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 4]], encountered at the end of [[Marching Milde's Fort]] by [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]]. Like a regular Milde, Marching Milde does not attack, instead simply walking left and right inside her large chamber, hurting Yellow Yoshi if he touches her from any other side than from above. As is the case with [[Puchipuchi L]], jumping on Marching Milde simply causes Yellow Yoshi to bounce off without doing any damage. To defeat this boss, the player must instead [[Ground Pound]] on top of Marching Milde to make her split apart into two smaller versions of herself, which are large versions of Puchipuchi L. Employing the same strategy against the large Puchipuchi L makes them split into regular-sized Puchipuchi L, which in turn split into regular Mildes upon being Ground Pounded. Once every Milde has been destroyed or eaten, the boss is defeated; this makes Marching Milde the only boss in the game that can be defeated by eating them.

*'''[[Player's Guide]]:''' ''With her mile-wide smile and easygoing gait, Milde is one of the mellowest adversaries Yoshi will encounter on his journey. Hit her with an egg and she'll barely shrug. You'll have to split her personality by pounding her head. She has good reason to be laid back, for few intruders ever make it to the inner sanctum of her caste.''<ref>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|page=18|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref>
