'''The Tall Tower''' is Stage 3-2 in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. [[Inviso]] acts as the boss of the stage.


The Tall Tower is named after its height.  The tower, since the days of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' has become inaccessible after the defeat of the tower's owner. As such, the only way to reach the top is by caressing the many turrets that come out of it, and by using the giant springs that stick out of the walls. The tower is very cold, but is the only way to view what lies beyond the fog around [[Kappa Mountain]].  In fact, during the events in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', one Yoshi suggested climbing to the top so as to view the [[Piranha Grove]].
Many [[spring platform (Super Mario World)|spring]]s and small platforms can be found within the large tower. [[Raven]]s and [[Peeper]]s can be found on the way to the tower's highest point as well. Many of the areas are filled with [[Spinner|Ball 'N' Chain]]s, as well as many small, Raven-inhabited planets. Even [[ComBat]]s live in the higher floors. During the [[level]], the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s can find a few leaves to surf the air on; they can ride across large gaps and collect many [[Heart Coin]]s this way. The hidden Heart Coin letter for this stage is H.


Riddling the tower are many springs and small platforms.  The windy tower was once a common area of [[Yoshi#Leaf Gliding|Leaf Gliding]] sport.  However, most notable is the horrendous infestation of [[Raven|Ravens]] and Peep-Cheep. In many the areas where giant maces swing and smash into the creaking catawalks, the small planets the Ravens walk across dot the area.  Even [[ComBat]] haunt the higher floors.
Haunting the very top of the tower is the transparent ghost, Inviso. Despite what he says (and what his name implies), he can become only ''near''-invisible. Although he appears to vanish, his surroundings reflect on him.


Haunting the very top of the dark, forboding tower is the mighty ghost, [[Inviso]]. Inviso is named for his ''lack'' of invisibility; despite what he says, he only becomes ''near'' invisible. Although he appears to vanish, his surroundings reflect on him.  Even from the bottom of the autumn tower, one can hear his moans and "peek-a-boo" calls.
This level has a hidden white [[Giant Egg]], which can be used to unlock a White Yoshi. In Story Mode, the player needs to travel to the area with leaves. When the player gets to the first leaf, they must drop down to the left from it, landing on the ground below. From there, the player must go over the little building with the second [[Miss Warp]] next to it and travel all the way to the left to find a [[? Bubble]]. The player needs to pop it to release and collect the white Giant Egg, then finish the level with it.

Inviso about to battle with Yoshi.
A Yoshi must fill up the Fruit Frame to battle the boss.

The Tall Tower is Stage 3-2 in Yoshi's Story. Inviso acts as the boss of the stage.

Many springs and small platforms can be found within the large tower. Ravens and Peepers can be found on the way to the tower's highest point as well. Many of the areas are filled with Ball 'N' Chains, as well as many small, Raven-inhabited planets. Even ComBats live in the higher floors. During the level, the Yoshis can find a few leaves to surf the air on; they can ride across large gaps and collect many Heart Coins this way. The hidden Heart Coin letter for this stage is H.

Haunting the very top of the tower is the transparent ghost, Inviso. Despite what he says (and what his name implies), he can become only near-invisible. Although he appears to vanish, his surroundings reflect on him.

This level has a hidden white Giant Egg, which can be used to unlock a White Yoshi. In Story Mode, the player needs to travel to the area with leaves. When the player gets to the first leaf, they must drop down to the left from it, landing on the ground below. From there, the player must go over the little building with the second Miss Warp next to it and travel all the way to the left to find a ? Bubble. The player needs to pop it to release and collect the white Giant Egg, then finish the level with it.
