'''Naval Piranha's Castle''' is a stage located in [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], and found in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]. The stage is located in the depths of a sewer, which is a maze, where various types of [[Piranha Plant|Wild Piranha]]s appear. The [[boss]] of this stage is a common Wild Piranha on which [[Kamek]] casts a spell, turning it into [[Naval Piranha]]. If the player throws an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] at the bandaged navel three times, it will be defeated. This [[level]]'s playable [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] is the Blue Yoshi.

==Overview==
[[File:Naval Piranha's Castle.png|thumb|left]]
Blue Yoshi will start in a sunset jungle area outside of the castle, with smiley hills, palm trees, and bushes in the background. At the end of this small area is a [[Warp Pipe]], where Blue Yoshi can enter the castle, which takes place in the sewers. Inside the castle, Yoshi will have to cross a narrow corridor, with a [[Caged Ghost]] blocking the way. Since the ghost spits [[Shy Guy|Shy-Guy]]s or [[Woozy Guy]]s, Blue Yoshi can eat them to lay eggs and throw them at the ghost, eventually opening the wall. Then, Blue Yoshi will pass through [[flipper]]s, leading to a small maze infested by [[Propeller Piranha|Hootie the Blue Fish]] and [[Raven (chick)|small Raven]]s. This maze also has [[Red Coin]]s, and corridors with water flows, pushing Blue Yoshi in the direction of the water. There are also [[Piranha Plant|Wild Piranha]]s in the water, sometimes being pushed by the water in Blue Yoshi's direction. After this, Blue Yoshi will get to an area, where he'll get advice on how to make eggs bounce off walls to reach out-of-reach items. A [[Message Block]] tells Blue Yoshi how to do so. He can throw eggs in the walls, thus making them skip on the surface of the water, reaching the items. Blue Yoshi will also have to reach a [[Smiley Flower|Special Flower]] by using this move. Progressing through the level, Blue Yoshi will find more humid corridors, infested by Hootie the Blue Fish and Ravens, and some [[Wild Ptooie Piranha]]s. [[Nipper Plant]]s can also be found here. Blue Yoshi can find various Red Coins and two Special Flowers in this maze. Some [[Aqua Lakitu]]s can also be found here. Blue Yoshi will also have to hit Caged Ghosts and Wild Piranhas in his way with eggs. After passing through an area with Nipper Plants, a Wild Ptooie Piranha, and a [[tulip]], Yoshi will find the red door leading to the boss.

==Trivia==
[[File:Super_Mario_Advance_3_-_Yoshi's_Island_3-8_trivia_.png|frame|right|Kamek's reaction to Blue Yoshi prematurely ending the boss battle.]]
*When Blue Yoshi enters Naval Piranha's room, if he stands on the very edge of the platform that Naval Piranha's unmodified form rests on without triggering the cutscene that initiates the battle and fires an egg at it (or fires an egg at it from a similar area in the water), it will be instantly defeated before the boss battle even starts. Kamek will fly in and notice this, screaming "'''OH, MY!!!'''" before flying off. Blue Yoshi will then clear the level as normal.
