Kangaroo
Kangaroo[1] is a vehicle[1] used by the Yoshis in Yoshi's Island DS. Yoshis can ride the kangaroo in a manner similar to Muddy Buddy in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island; however, the kangaroo differs greatly from Muddy Buddy in that it gives them the ability to bounce up and down at an extreme height. Yoshi can also ride the kangaroo for an unlimited amount of time (or until the end of the area it is in), unlike Lakitu's Cloud. Kangaroos are never found in the normal mass of levels; however, they are always found in coin-filled areas sectioned away by Warp Pipes. Whenever Yoshi rides the kangaroo, the baby riding his back seems to simply disappear, yet reappears when Yoshi stops riding the kangaroo. One can be found in Mario's Fleet Feet and Windblown Wilderness.
