'Allo 'allo 'allo, welcome to my third FAQ for GameFAQs! I bet I know why you
clicked here. You need help with SMA3, don't you? DON'T YOU? Annd that is
exactly why I have taken the time out of my pitiful life to help you. You must
stay strong, our pal Yoshi can't do it alone!
Before we move on, let's just take a little review of the game's controls:
A Button: Makes Yoshi jump. The longer you hold the A button, the higher he
jumps. If you hold A until Yoshi reaches the apex of his jump, he will kick his
legs and gain a bit of extra height. The A Button is also used to make
selections in games and menus, and it is used to scroll dialogue boxes.
D-Pad: Lats Yoshi move. Hold left or right long enough, and he will break into
a run. Press left or right against a pushable object, and he will push it. When
in midair, press down to butt-stomp. Down also makes Yoshi duck while on
ground, and lets him make eggs out of baddies while they are in his mouth. Up
makes Yoshi look up, scrolls the camera up and lets Yoshi lash his tongue
upwards. It also lets you hold the egg crosshair at its highest position.
Lastly, the D-pad is used to highlight selections in menus and games. Phew! Got
all that?
B Button: Lets Yoshi lash his tongue in the direction he's facing, allowing him
to gobble up baddies and items in front of him. B is also the 'Cancel' button;
any menus, and even the game can be canceled by a tap of the B button.
Start: Pauses the game, makes selections in the menus.
Select: Brings up the Status screen while in a level.
L Button: Locks the crosshair in place, allowing for more accurate shots.
Pressing L again unlocks the crosshair.
R button: Activates the crosshair. If you have Patient controls on, press R
again to fire an egg. If you use Hasty controls, let go of R to fire an egg.
Now that we're done all that, let's get on with the game!

F A Q
*******
Q: Why is it taking you so long to finish this guide?
A: Because this is a very comprehensive guide, and it took me a full
day to finish World 1 alone.
Q: Why haven't you included the Extra and Secret levels?
A: Because they'll get their own section once the main guide is
finished.
Q: Why have you written diddly-squat information about the bosses/
minibosses?
A: Because I already have A Boss FAQ posted. (That's what it's there
for!)
Q: The Dungeon music is awesome!
A: That isn't a question, but yeah, it is pretty good.
Q: Why haven't you got 100% on all levels?
A: Well, nobody's perfect, I guess. You can bet that the missing
treasures in this guide will be added once I find them! ^_^
Q: Why haven't you included a Story section?
A: Oh, whoops! 'Hey good guys, go beat the bad guy!' There's your
story.
Q: Why don't you include a step-by-step walkthrough for each level?
A: Because I'm lazy. :^/ Also, if there's any tricky puzzles
or whatnot, I'll include the solutions with one of the treasure
locations.
Q: This game is long!
A: That's not a question.
Q: Why is this guide so incomplete?
A: Because I've been working my ass off to get it post-worthy on
GameFAQs. If you've got a problem with that, go whine to your
mommy.
Q: How many levels are in the game?
A: Let's see.....8 in each world, times six worlds, plus two bonus
levels in each world comes up to a grand total of.....60!
Q: How many different enemies are in the game?
A: I don't feel like counting right now. There's a ton, let's just
put it at that.
Q: Do people actually ask you these questions?
A: Nope.
