'''Shifting Platforms Ahead''' is level 5-7 of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. As the name implies, it consists of jumping from platform to platform to avoid falling into the bottomless pit below. This level's playable [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] is the Red Yoshi.
==Overview==
Red Yoshi will start near a [[Bumpty]], and he will have to go to the left, where he will find several platforms moving around, allowing him to cross a huge [[pit]]. Red Yoshi will find [[Cascading Stone|falling stone block]]s and [[Raven]]s walking around floating spheres. Red Yoshi must dodge all these obstacles while using platforms to get across the level. He will eventually find [[Tap-Tap]]s jumping in tiny circular platforms, which can be destroyed with eggs.

Next, Red Yoshi will find a [[Warp Pipe]], and he must ride a [[Goonie]] to reach it. This pipe leads to a bonus area, where he can collect a lot of coins, and a [[Smiley Flower|Special Flower]] while jumping on falling platforms. He can also use a [[! Switch]] to cause blocks to appear and form a bridge over spikes, allowing him to collect more coins. If Red Yoshi chooses to ignore the Warp Pipe leading to this bonus, he will find more Goonies, and he will have to ride a [[Paddle Platform|paddle wheel]] to reach a [[Flatbed Ferry]]. Red Yoshi will ride many yellow and red platforms, avoiding the Ravens, Goonies, and occasional Tap-Taps and Bumpties. Unfortunately, Red Yoshi will also have to jump over various falling platforms that get in his way. 

After this, Red Yoshi will cross a large area, first passing through a cloud where [[Item Balloon|Baron von Zeppelin]]s carry [[Shy Guy|Shy-Guy]]s and a [[crate]], and then using platforms to cross an area with Ravens and a pipe leading to the second part of the stage. Here, Red Yoshi will have to defeat a [[Wild Ptooie Piranha]] blocking the way by shooting eggs at it while on a platform. After this, Red Yoshi can destroy a large wall of blue blocks with eggs to uncover a hidden Special Flower. Entering the pipe, Red Yoshi will find a [[Checkpoint Ring|Middle Ring]] and will have to cross a large area filled with many falling platforms and Bumpties, avoiding the pit at all costs. There are two Special Flowers in this part. Red Yoshi will find the [[Goal Ring]] right after a [[Bill Blaster|Turtle Cannon]] shooting [[Bullet Bill]]s.
