Castle of the Big Burt Bros.

Castle of the Big Burt Bros. is the fourth level of World 1 in Yoshi's Island DS. It is the game's first castle and a Yellow Yoshi takes control in this level. The level consists of several different enemies, gimmicks, and traps and can turn hard for an unprepared gamer, especially because of the lava pits, the key is to proceed slowly and take care of any enemies in the way. The bosses in this level are the Big Burt Bros., two Burts enlarged by Kamek's magic. A Stork Stop appears in this level after Catch the Breeze is completed.
==Walkthrough==
Starting off at the Castle's entrance, advance to the right across the arced bridges above the lava and hit the Yellow Egg Blocks to snag some Yellow Yoshi Eggs for use on the Buckets above (hitting these Buckets on the sides with an egg will cause it to tip and drop some Coins, continue onward and jump on the Ferris Wheels here, the are Coins along them and both Ferris Wheels have two Red Coins each. After the Ferris Wheels, hit the Winged Cloud to reveal a ! Switch, stepping on the switch will cause the outlined blocks to become solid, hop across the blocks and the Ferris Wheel) (and hit the Winged Cloud above the fourth set of switch blocks to get some Stars and then hop up to the upper platform, pound the Stake to reach the niche where the Smiley Flower is and grab it. After that, drop back down and continue onward dealing with the Shy Guys along the way, grab the Coins and two Red Coins above and then exit through the door.
In the next room, continue to the right and hit the Egg Block for some extra eggs and grab the Coins and Red Coins along the path while avoiding the Ball 'n' Chains, on the hedge with the dual-headed Ball 'n' Chain, there is a Winged Cloud in the blunt right corner, hit it with an egg to get some Stars, next grab the Coin along the path (as one of them is a Red Coin) whilst avoiding the six spinning Ball 'n' Chains, after this, tag the Middle Ring and grab the Coin and Red Coin in the area, hop up the platforms and once at the top, move to the left to reach a platform with some Coins and a Smiley Flower, then move all the way to the right to grab the Baby Coin and to read a Hint Block (if you want to), after that, drop back down, watch out for the lava and avoid the Woozy Guys and Shy Guys in the area, as you get near the lava, Co-Blarggs will start attacking, avoid them and hop across the Paddle Wheel collecting the Coins as four of the coins at the end of the bottom row are Red Coins, next hop down to the lower platform to grab the Coins (if you want to) and hop up to the singular platform and toss an egg in line with the arrows so it ricochets off the wall and grabs the Smiley Flower in the alcove above, after that, enter the door at the end.
In the next room, advance to the right and hop over the lava pool grabbing the Coins while you do, next grab some eggs from the nearby Egg Block then hop onto the Flatbed Ferry and go up and grab the Coins and two Red Coins here, to the right, there are two Yellow Egg Blocks and a single Red Egg Block, hit these to get two more Yellow Yoshi Eggs and a Red Yoshi Egg, then drop down to the platform to the left where two Bouncing Burts are, either ground pound them or toss an egg at them, either way, they will explode and release some Stars to collect, after this, grab the Smiley Flower and then drop back down to the main level, grab the Coins and Red Coins above the moving Flatbed Ferry and drop down to the lower Flatbed Ferry (while being careful not to fall into the lava) and grab the two Coins and well as the last Red Coin, next, advance to the right, hop onto the moving Flatbed Ferries and hit the Winged Clouds above with eggs, the first two give Stars and Coins respectively while the third one reveals some stairs, enter the door at the top to reach a secret area with some Piranha Plants and Lantern Ghosts, defeat all the enemies in this room to reveal the Smiley Flower to collect, after this, exit the area and hop back on the Flatbed Ferries to reach a higher platform with a Box, ground pound the Box to reveal a Key and grab the Key to unlock the locked door at the room's end, from here, climb the stairs, tag the Middle Ring, fill your egg supply via the Egg Block (if you haven't already) (a Stork Stop appears in this area after the next level is completed as well), and then enter the Red Door.
===BOSS BATTLE: Big Burt Bros.===
Upon entering the room and advancing to the right, two Burts appear, Kamek then emerges and uses his magic to enlarge the Burt Bros. into the Big Burt Bros. These two giant Burts attack by hopping around the room (sometimes on eachother) at a very fast speed). If you want to finish this fight with 30 Stars, stay as far away from the center of the room as possible, due to the unpredictability of the Burts, they will crush you if you're out in the open so remain in the small pits on each side and when the Burts come at you, duck to avoid being hit. To beat the Burts, hit them with eggs, each time you do, their pants will come down, if you're running low on eggs grab some more with Yoshi's tongue from the Egg Plant in the center of the room and continue attacking the Big Burt Bros. from the shelter points, after hitting them six times, their pants fade and they become turn red in embarrassment and explode and the level is completed.
