“Hey there, Mr. Hero! Have you tried the Yoshi-Go-Round? Hmmm? Not enough Yoshis, you say? What do you... Oh, yeah! The orange one broke! I forgot about that! We lacked the funds to fix it, so we just took it off...”
Park director, Super Mario Sunshine

The Yoshi-Go-Round's Secret is the sixth episode of Pinna Park in Super Mario Sunshine. The episode's objective is to enter and complete the secret of the Yoshi-Go-Round. After completing the episode once, the player can return to this episode to collect the Secret Shine Red Coins in the Yoshi-Go-Round.

The Yoshi-Go-Round

The entrance to the secret of the Yoshi-Go-Round is found by bringing an Orange Yoshi to the spot on the Yoshi-Go-Round that is lacking a Yoshi. Yoshi can be found behind the Deku Tree to the right of the Pirate Ship ride. After making Yoshi turn orange by having him eat a papaya or pineapple, the player needs to bring the Yoshi to the vacant spot on the Yoshi-Go-Round which causes Mario to get transported to the secret course. As usual, Shadow Mario appears to take FLUDD away during the first playthrough.

The first obstacle of the secret course is a bridge of six rotating cube platforms that Mario has to cross. Afterward are many spotted cubes, with each color of cubes moving in their own ring. Mario has to jump between the different rings in order to move through the gate in the center, as some of the gates are closed off. The blue cubes take Mario through and he then has to cross the cubes to reach a stationary platform at the end. By jumping onto a smaller cube afterward, it carries Mario to a structure of orange cubes that he has to Wall Jump up in order to reach the Shine Sprite at the top.

The background of the secret area accessed via the Yoshi-Go-Round strongly resembles the terrain found in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. The Beach Cannon's Secret also shares this trait.
