The screen slowly moves through a lava-filled cave as Tap-Tap the Golden chases after [[Yoshi]]. It can be hit into the bottomless pits, but it will only come back. Knocking it onto the edge of a platform will make it teeter as it tries to maintain its balance, but knocking it off of the screen is the best option, and several [[Fang]]s are around to supply Yoshi with [[Yoshi Egg|eggs]] for repetition of this strategy.

While normally invincible, Tap-Tap the Golden can be defeated through hacking him into a certain type of lava.{{ref needed}} | ||
