33 Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros - Yellow Yoshi Race, Very Hungry Wiggler Eats Melon

Dear Readers,

Today I'll talk about racing the Yellow Yoshi for his melon and feeding it to Wiggler.

The Toad Village in Gloomy Woods looks a little different now... it's like a racetrack. We meet the Yellow Yoshi and ask him for his melon. He doesn't want to give it away, as it took him ages to find it. He offers to have a race for it though and just then, Lakitu appears and offers to teach us about racing! Yoshi wonders where he came from.

When we say yes to his racing lesson, the Super Mario Bros. 1-1 reprise plays and he shows us around the racetrack.

The race is a nice little jaunt. We have to use the dash as the Yellow Yoshi is quite fast. We lose by a tiny bit on our first attempt but beat him on the second. He cries about it but concedes his melon to us like a true sportsdragon. He then says that he has a friend in the mountains who's much faster than he is and that we should challenge him to a race. I guess we'll meet him later!

Back to Wiggler with him munching on the melon we won. I feel bad, taking all this stuff away from the Yellow Yoshi and the Paratroopa earlier, just to feed this greedy jerk who won't get out of the way otherwise! On the other hand, he DID help us with those obstacles that Paper Magikoopa landed on us.

Wiggler finishes his meal by nearly shooting us dead with the giant melon seeds. "A full belly is a full heart!" he says, before finally moving and says how he'll never run out of energy again. He goes to the next screen though and sees more papercraft obstacles! "My forest is no trash can!" he says, turning red with rage again before smashing through them.

I wonder if he'll run out of energy again? We'll have to catch up with him later.
