'''The Shogun's Castle''' is the third and final level of [[Ninjarama]], the second mini-boss level, and the thirty-first level overall of ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. The [[Shogun of Skewers]] is fought at the end of this level.

==Overview==
===Front side===
[[Yoshi]] starts out outdoors, with a [[Shy Guy]] and a [[Rush Heyho]] on the path leading indoors. Once inside, there is first a blue lift. Yoshi must jump to hit the up arrow button, causing the lift to move up a bit. Past a set of sliding doors, there is a set of two spiked tiles which fall from the ceiling. After a Shy Guy, there is another set of spiked tiles. However, once the left one falls, it reveals a [[Ninja Guy]]. Yoshi can then hop onto the tile, which lifts him up to a [[Winged Cloud]] moving quickly from corner to corner. If Yoshi hits this Winged Cloud, a set of [[coin]]s appear, containing four [[Red Coin]]s.

Next, there are sliding doors in the background which slide open to reveal a Rush Heyho, which comes out and starts chasing Yoshi. Above this, there are two rotating platforms with spikes on one side. Underneath the lower tile is a hidden Winged Cloud Yoshi can hit to make more coins appear over the tile. There are four more red coins among them. Above the higher tile is a chance block allowing Yoshi to collect one to twenty coins. To the right, there are two lifts: one blue and one red. The blue lift moves up and down, while the red light moves left to right. To the right is a hidden Winged Cloud containing five [[Heart (item)|hearts]]. There is also a [[Trampoline|spring]] in the blue lift Yoshi can use to reach a circle of coins and a [[Smiley Flower]] up high.

After this, Yoshi encounters the first [[Bushydo]]. Yoshi must get the Bushydo to put down his sword, then use it as a ramp to get onto the Bushydo, then onto the higher ground. Here, there are five one-sided spike tiles, with a pit of spikes below them. On the fourth rotating tile is another spring, allowing Yoshi to get to another quick-moving Winged Cloud up above. Hitting this cloud reveals more coins, including three red coins. Down to the left is the first [[Check Point (Yoshi's Crafted World)|Check Point]].

To the left are two Rush Heyho, with a Ninja Guy to follow. There are then three lifts: red, blue and green. There are also two springs nearby Yoshi can use to his advantage. Yoshi must move the green lift down, then move the blue lift to the left, then move the red lift up. At the top, to the left, is a hidden Winged Cloud Yoshi can hit to reveal some coins and four red coins. To the right is a Rush Heyho, with three falling one-sided spike blocks above. Once all these blocks fall, they create a staircase allowing Yoshi to get up to another circle of coins and the second Smiley Flower. Up next is a Winged Cloud containing five hearts, then a Ninja Guy.

There is then an [[Egg Block]], with a rather large rectangular structure toward the foreground. Here, Yoshi must hit the green switch on the left wall with an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] to flip the structure upside-down, allowing him to move on to another Egg Block. Once back in the background, Yoshi must toss another egg at the green switch to flip the structure again, allowing him to get to coins and a [[key]] underneath it. Yoshi must use this key to unlock the locked door ahead.

After the locked door, there is a set of sliding doors which slide open to reveal two Rush Heyho. This also reveals a present box hidden behind the left sliding door, which contains plentiful coins as well as one red coin. To the right is a quick Winged Cloud Yoshi can hit to make coins appear in the shape of a diamond, with the last four red coins among them. There are then more rotating spike tiles leading Yoshi up to a roof. To the left is a circle of coins and the third Smiley Flower.

Yoshi will then find a room with a red lift and a blue lift. To get out, he must move the red lift up, get into the blue lift, open the doors connecting the two lifts, take the red lift back down, and use the spring in the blue lift, respectively. Once Yoshi does make it out, he reaches the second Check Point.

After the second checkpoint, there are three different chance blocks, allowing Yoshi to get up to six eggs and twenty coins. There are then three Ninja Guys, with a hidden Winged Cloud in the middle of them Yoshi must hit to reveal a circle of coins along with the fourth Smiley Flower. Following the three Ninja Guys are three Bushydos, with a [[Time Cloud]] in the middle of them. Hitting this cloud reveals some [[Blue Coin]]s nearby. Collecting all of them in the given time rewards Yoshi with the fifth and final Smiley Flower.

After the Bushydos, Yoshi must move toward the background, where there is a Winged Cloud containing five hearts. Yoshi then needs to enter a long area with two springs, a blue switch, a red switch, and a green [[pipe]] on the wall which dispenses a Shy Guy each time Yoshi hits a switch. Each time Yoshi hits the blue switch, the small blue contraption in the center rotates ninety degrees to the right, allowing Yoshi to get to the red switch on the bottom and a spring on the top. Each time Yoshi hits the red switch, the red walls rotate ninety degrees right. Doing this two times brings down the second spring, allowing him to bounce onto the other spring, bouncing him up to one last Rush Heyho and the doors leading to the boss battle with the [[Shogun of Skewers]].
