'''Yoshi's Island Zone''' is a level exclusive to the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[Sonic Lost World]]''. It was announced and added to the game as free downloadable content on December 18, 2013.<ref>{{cite|author=Barry|date=December 18, 2013|url=https://segabits.com/blog/2013/12/18/sonic-lost-world-wii-u-dlc-available-now-yoshis-island-zone/|title=Sonic Lost World Wii U DLC available now – Yoshi’s Island Zone|publisher=SEGAbits|accessdate=September 4, 2024|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20230602155644/https://segabits.com/blog/2013/12/18/sonic-lost-world-wii-u-dlc-available-now-yoshis-island-zone/}}</ref> The level is based on the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]] and features various objects and characters from it such as [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, and [[Egg Block]]s.

The level is set entirely in the 2.5D perspective and uses the same patchwork artstyle used for some of the grassland levels in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Additionally, [[Ring (Sonic the Hedgehog)|ring]]s and [[sonicretro:Red Star Ring|Red Star Ring]]s are replaced by [[coin]]s and [[Smiley Flower|Special Flower]]s respectively.

==Layout==
The level starts in a flat field with a single [[Egg Block]], followed by three [[Shy Guy]]s, a platform with three [[coin]]s, and a [[Piranha Plant]] with the first [[Smiley Flower|Special Flower]] and more coins on top. The Piranha Plant is followed by a Shy Guy and three platforms around another Piranha Plant. After two more Shy Guys, the player has to jump on a [[Spring Ball]] to reach a covered area with several platforms, a Shy Guy, and two Piranha Plants. Below, there is a blue [[Warp Pipe]] that takes the player to a [[sub-area]] with Shy Guys and a platform with several coins and a Special Flower, which the player can exit by entering another blue pipe that takes them to a platform above the previous pipe.

After three Shy Guys and a [[sonicretro:Checkpoint#Star Posts|Star Post]], the player has to cross a pit of Piranha Plants using rotating platforms immediately followed by a {{fandom|sonic|loop}}. The player then reaches an area with more enemies, platforms, and an Egg Block, with another blue Warp Pipe that takes them to another sub-area with Shy Guys, Piranha Plants, coins, and a Special Flower. Back in the main area, the player will find another loop and more rotating platforms with two Piranha Plants guarding a Special Flower. The player will then encounter two platforms and a Piranha Plant guarding an Egg Block, which can be defeated by hitting it with a Shy Guy launched with a [[sonicretro:Flying Kick|Flying Kick]]. After one last Shy Guy, the player will reach the [[Goal Ring]], and all [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s collected from the Egg Blocks will hatch into [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s and give [[extra life|extra lives]].

==Special Flowers==
*'''Special Flower 1''': The first Special Flower is found above the first Piranha Plant, near the beginning of the level.
*'''Special Flower 2''': In the first sub-area, the player must jump on a Spring Ball to reach a platform with coins and the second Special Flower.
*'''Special Flower 3''': After the Star Post, the player has to jump on the top of the rotating platforms to grab the third Special Flower.
*'''Special Flower 4''': In the second sub-area, the fourth Special Flower is found in a tunnel blocked by Piranha Plants that the player must defeat by doing Flying Kicks on Shy Guys.
*'''Special Flower 5''': After the second loop, the player will find some rotating platforms with two Piranha Plants and the last Special Flower in the center.
