How to Clear Forest of Illusion 3

Go to the right and there is a Bob-Omb in a bubble. If you touch the bubble, or if the bubble hits an obstacle, it will pop, and the Bob-Omb will fall to the ground and attack. The bubble will eventually pop on its own. There are many enemies in bubbles throughout the level.

After that, there is a Dragon Coin and a Goomba in a bubble, which will pop when it hits the pipe. After a gap, there is a Bob-Omb whose bubble will pop on the ground, and a Goomba in a bubble.

Use the Jumping Board to jump over the tall pipe. Then there is a Bob-Omb whose bubble will pop on the Prize Block. The Prize Block contains a Yoshi Egg.

You can go down the pipe to the right of the Prize Block to reach a 1-Up Chamber.

After that, there are two Bob-Ombs in bubbles, a Goomba in a bubble, and a Super Mushroom in a bubble, as well as four Blocks in a diagonal line. You can jump up those blocks to get the Pink Berry in the tree.

To the right, there is a red shell on a Block, and a Jumping Board on a Block above that. Hit the lower Block to make the shell hit the upper block, and the Jumping Board will fall to the ground. Have Yoshi eat the Jumping Board and spit it out next to the tall pipe on the right (or just pick up and carry the Jumping Board if you don't have Yoshi), then use the Jumping Board to jump over the tall pipe. Get the Dragon Coin and try to dodge the two Goombas and the Bob-Omb in bubbles.

Next, there are four Goombas in bubbles that all hit Blocks, so try not to let them fall on you.

To the right, you find the Midway Gate. There are two Goombas in bubbles that will hit the nearby Blocks. There is also a Super Mushroom in a bubble that you can pop if you wish.

Next, there is a Dragon Coin above two pipes, and there is also a Bob-Omb and a Goomba in a bubble to dodge. After that, there is a gap, then some Blocks that you can hit to prevent the Bob-Ombs' and Goomba's bubbles from popping, but you might want to jump on the third Block so you can reach the Pink Berry so Yoshi can lay a Yoshi Cloud Egg.

After a pipe, there are four Prize Blocks. The three on the bottom contain one coin each, and the one on the top contains many coins, so hit it as quickly as you can to get as many coins out of it as possible before it turns back into a Brown Block.

Next, there is a 1-Up Mushroom you can get, but you have to dismount from Yoshi first. After you dismount, jump on top of the first, second, fourth, and sixth Prize Block, and the 1-Up Mushroom will appear. Get back on Yoshi, then you can hit the Prize Blocks if you wish. Each one contains just one coin.

Go to the right and there is a gap, followed by a Splittin' Chuck that splits into three. Each of the two Blocks next to the pipe contains a coin. If you want to use the secret exit, go down the pipe, do a spin jump on the Blocks, then if you have Yoshi, make Yoshi eat the key, then walk in front of the keyhole. Otherwise just put the key into the keyhole. The path to the south will unlock and you can go to #5 Roy's Castle.

Otherwise, go to the right, get the Dragon Coin to the right of the pipe, and you can hit the three Prize Blocks to get one coin each.

Then go to the right and go through the Giant Gate.

After the Level

If you went through the secret exit, the path to the south will unlock and you can go to #5 Roy's Castle. If you went through the Giant Gate, the path to the west will unlock and you can go to the Forest Ghost House.
