'''Poochy Ain't Stupid''' is the Extra Stage of [[World 1 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 1]] in the game ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its remake ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. It is unlocked by obtaining a total score of 800 points in the other levels of World 1. The whole level centers around [[Poochy]], and introduces a few new enemies not otherwise encountered in World 1. Like every other Extra Stage, this level's playable [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] is the [[Yoshi|green Yoshi]].


This is one of two non-fort/castle levels to use the fort/castle background music, the other being [[KEEP MOVING!!!!]]
'''Poochy Ain't Stupid''' is an Extra Level belonging to World One in the game ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. It is unlocked by obtaining the maximum score (100 points) in all levels of World One, not counting the Secret Level, [[Exercise in the Skies]]. The whole level centers around [[Poochy]], and introduces a few new enemies not encountered in World One.


==Overview==
As the level starts, Poochy will be nowhere to be seen, and the screen will not move either. [[Green Yoshi]] will be, though, ambushed by several [[Fang]]s, which Yoshi should eat for egg supplies, which will come in hand later. Before moving on, Yoshi should throw an egg at the nearby ? Cloud, which contains five stars. As the players moves to the right, the screen will begin moving by itself. Yoshi should avoid or defeat the Fangs in the way until the player gets to jump on a small ledge next to some lava. At this point, Poochy will make his stellar appearance, somehow walking over the lava. The player must jump on Poochy and face to the right. Poochy will run to the right. If the player faces left, Poochy will run left. This will be the key to successfully seizing victory over this level. As Yoshi continues his way, he will jump to higher ground. The player should quickly jump off Poochy, shoot the ? Cloud above and collect the falling stars, or at least, as many as he or she can. It is not recommended for the player to give priority to stars, as there are many scattered around the level. The player should mostly keep an eye on Poochy and the moving screen. After collecting as many stars as possibly, Yoshi must jump back on Poochy's back and let him continue his way through the lava. Soon, a high ground will show up again. The player must jump on it by him or herself, as Poochy will continue through a small hole below the ground. Yoshi should try to hit the ? Cloud above with an egg and  then hover jump down to collect the first [[Special Flower]] and land on Poochy's back.

The player starts off in a cave area next to a [[Winged Cloud]], if they go to the right some [[Fang]]s will spawn and the screen will start autoscrolling. Not long after the screen starts scrolling there will be a lava pit that can only be crossed by using [[Poochy]], who will be used for the rest of the level. When the player encounters the [[Bullet Bill]] they will need to jump up onto the platform and then drop down and land on Poochy who will then continue to ferry the player over the lava. After this, there will be a section with lots of Fangs and [[Tap-Tap]]s, and after this will be another lava section that has a Spiked Ball rotating above it. After this lava segment, the player must blindly drop down and [[Flutter Jump]] to the [[Goal Ring]].


In the SNES version, the player cannot land on a bonus slot to play the [[Bonus Challenge]] on the Goal Ring on this level. The wheel will stay on a win slot for as long as two seconds before advancing slots and less than a half second on a blue dot.

As Poochy continues his way, the player will encounter another ? Cloud, this one floating above a gap of lava. Just as before, Yoshi must hop off Poochy and throw an egg at it for some stars, and subsequently jump on Poochy's back again for him to continue. Next up is a little challenge. There will be a gap with the second Special Flower on it, and above, a [[Bill Blaster]] shooting [[Bullet Bill]]s at Yoshi. Yoshi must be extremely careful and have Poochy go a bit more slowly so he can collect the Special Flower; let Poochy jump back and IMMEDIATELY after flutter jump to some ground above, which is not visible from the below ground. Here there will be a plethora or Red Coins. The player must try to obtain all of these. It is recommended for the player, if he or she is running out of time, to ignore the star-containing ? Cloud and just collect the red coins. After that, Yoshi, always facing right, should flutter jump down, collecting the coins in the way and grabbing the third Special Flower.

After landing on Poochy's back, the player will have to switch between right or left to make Poochy temporarily stop and not collide against a wandering [[Podoboo]] or make Poochy run so fast he goes off-screen and Yoshi falls. After this, the player will once again land on safe ground, which is full of Fangs, which serve as egg supply. Upon advancing a bit, the player should notice a ? Cloud, which contains more stars. As Poochy keeps going, the player will notice a row of [[Tap-Tap]]s. The player should just let Poochy run over them, instantly defeating them. Soon after, Poochy will jump into a small gap containing two red coins. Not far from there, Poochy will jump up, making Yoshi touch the fourth Special Flower. Next up are some [[Boo Guy]]s controlling a giant trap. To avoid it and collect the red coins in its way, Yoshi must advance when it's safe and grab as many coins as possible, then back off and return when it's safe once again. As Poochy keeps advancing, Yoshi will find three flying items: Two ? Clouds and the last Special Flower of the level. In case the player needs more stars, or lost them during the game, this is the chance to recover them. Next Poochy will come upon a cliff. He will simply jump off. Yoshi must collect the coins in the way, as they are all red coins needed for the maximum score. After that, Yoshi will finally arrive the finish.
