==Story==
==Story==
[[Bowser]] and his armies were attacking [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi Island]], causing chaos and disorder to the inhabitants. In response to this, a spirit named [[Hongo]] attempts to seal Bowser and his minions in his book named [[Forbidden Pop-Up Book]] to stop Bowser's destruction, but Hongo fails and accidentally seals the entire island in the book. [[Yoshi]] starts panicking, but a spirit named [[Spirit Who Loves Surprises]] explains to Yoshi that he must talk with Hongo and convince him to bring Yoshi Island back to normal, because spirits do not have enough power to defeat Bowser, who was hiding in a cave at the final chapter of the book, [[The Tale of Bowser's Cave]]. He also says that he was fired because he didn't know how to keep secrets. Yoshi gets mad, and as proof of his apology, the Spirit Who Loves Surprises gives to Yoshi the power to tilt the entire world and explains how to use it, but Yoshi accidentally hits the spirit with a boulder. Yoshi manages to convince Hongo to restore Yoshi Island under the conditions that Yoshi must defeat Bowser, because if he restores Yoshi Island with Bowser, he will attack Yoshi Island again. Now Yoshi must satisfy each one of the [[tiny spirits]]. By doing this, he will receive [[Happiness Medal]]s and the spirits will allow him to battle with Bowser.

Yoshi finds the [[Spirit of Cuteness]], which explains to Yoshi that Bowser attacked [[Eggland]] and transformed every [[Eggling]] into [[Apple|apple]]s. When Yoshi swallows an apple, it is revealed that the apple is really a Eggling. After completing four chapters and satisfying some spirits, Yoshi must complete a level where Bowser tries to attack him; it turns out that the Bowser is actually a fake one being controlled by the Spirit Who Loves Surprises. Yoshi gets mad, but the Spirit Who Love Surprises apologizes and says that he was just testing him to see if he is ready to battle with the real Bowser.  After completing this level, Yoshi must complete two more chapters. When Yoshi has satisfied every spirit of Yoshi Island, he can battle with Bowser.

During Story Mode, Yoshi must travel through eight chapters. This includes fifty courses, a mid-boss and [[Bowser]] at the final chapter. In each chapter, a [[tiny spirits|spirit]] will set Yoshi a task. Such tasks can include collecting [[coin]]s, defeating enemies or rescuing trapped [[Eggling]]s from [[Apple]]s. Within the courses, Yoshi must avoid twelve different enemies which will drain Yoshi's health meter upon contact. An empty health meter will cause Yoshi to lose a life. He can swallow hearts to restore his health meter. Yoshi will be rewarded with a [[Happiness Medal]] at the end of a course if he successfully completes the tasks given by the spirits. Gold Happiness Medals are given if Yoshi completes the task to a very high standard.
