How to Clear Soda Lake

Go to the right and a Blurp will swim from right to left. There is a Torpedo Tube to the right that will launch Torpedo Teds, which quickly move across the screen. Yoshi can't eat Torpedo Teds.

Get the two coins under the Torpedo Tube, then go up and right. Beware that the Torpedo Tube will launch Torpedo Teds to the right after you go past it.

There are two Blurps that swim past a Prize Block. The Prize Block contains a Fire Flower. To the right of that, there are two Torpedo Tubes, and a line of three Blurps.

After that, there are eight coins, followed by two Torpedo Tubes, and a Dragon Coin between the Torpedo Tubes. Try to go beneath the lower Torpedo Tube to get past this area.

Go to the right and there are four Blurps that swim across the screen, and there are 12 coins, with three Torpedo Tubes to the right, and a Dragon Coin to the right of the middle Torpedo Tube. If you're having trouble getting past, try to go to the left until some of the Blurps and Torpedo Teds have gone past, then go down near the bottom of the screen and go to the right.

After that, there are several Blurps that you need to dodge as you go to the right and up.

Then there is a Dragon Coin down a pit, and to the right of that, an area of four Torpedo Tubes, with a Blurp and four coins near the bottom of the screen. Try to go past the bottom-right Torpedo Tube.

Next, there is a school of Blurps to dodge, and a Dragon Coin to the left of another Torpedo Tube.

There are three more Torpedo Tubes to the right, and a Dragon Coin above the middle one. Once you get the Dragon Coin, there are four Blurps in a vertical line coming from the right side of the screen. Swim over them, then go down to get the three coins beneath the Torpedo Tube on the right.

Then there are three Blurps from the right, and three Torpedo Tubes. Let the Blurps swim past, then walk on the solid ground beneath the Torpedo Tubes, and duck to avoid the Torpedo Ted from the rightmost tube. Then swim up and right to go through the hole in the formation of Blurps from the right, and go through the pipe.

Go to the right and go through the Giant Gate to complete the level.

After the Level

An invisible path to the south unlocks, and you can go to an entrance to the Star Road that leads to Star World 3. (If you're on the Star Road entrance and want to go back to Soda Lake, press down.)
