The '''Melon Race''' is a special [[minigame]] event that occurs in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. The event is triggered after a [[Baby Yoshi]] hits specific [[?

Block, while a finish line with a FINISH flag will appear at some larger distance away.

The faster this is accomplished, the more [[Melon]]s the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] is awarded with upon reaching the finish line, with the maximum amount being seven Melons. The amount of time the Baby Yoshi has to finish the race is symbolized by a [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]] slowly approaching a line of seven numbered Melons near the top of the screen. The Chomp, if the Yoshi is slow, will begin eating each Melon one by one until the Yoshi crosses the finish line. Each Melon eaten by the Chomp is lost to the Baby Yoshi. After crossing the finish line, a [[Lakitu]] will fly down and deliver the number of Melons earned by the Yoshi.

Melon Race
The Melon Race in Frustration
“Hit the ? Block and cross the starting line to begin the race. The faster you go, the more melons you'll win at the goal line!”
Message Block, Yoshi's Story

The Melon Race is a special minigame that occurs in Yoshi's Story. The event is triggered after a Baby Yoshi hits specific ? Blocks located in certain levels. When the ? Block is hit, a red flag with the yellow word "START" on it appears near the ? Block, while a GOAL flag appears at some larger distance away. The goal of the Melon Race is to cross the finish line as quickly as possible after passing by the starting line. The faster this is accomplished, the more melons the Yoshi is awarded upon reaching the finish line, with the maximum number being seven melons. The amount of time the Baby Yoshi has to finish the race is symbolized by a Chomp slowly approaching a line of seven numbered melons near the top of the screen. If enough time has elapsed before the Yoshi reaches the finish line, the Chomp begins eating the melons one by one until the Yoshi crosses the finish line or it has eaten all of the melons, the latter resulting in the failure of the minigame. Each melon eaten by the Chomp is lost to the Baby Yoshi. After the Yoshi crosses the finish line, a Lakitu flies down and delivers the number of melons earned by the Yoshi.
