12 - Game Basics
Each game mode features two areas: a sky area and a ground area. You'll start by playing through the sky area and then continue on to the ground area. Below you'll find game-play basics that apply to all modes.
Sky Areas (Vertically Scrolling)
In the sky areas, your objective is to guide Baby Mario as he falls and safely land him on the ground. Draw clouds around enemies to turn them into bubbles and prevent them from popping Baby Mario's balloons.
Yoshi's Colour - This shows the number of points you've earned in the sky area. The colour of the Yoshi that catches Baby Mario varies based on how many points you've scored.
Score - This is where the main objective of each mode will appear (such as distance or time).
Baby Mario's Balloons
Three balloons keep Baby Mario from crashing to the ground. Each time Baby Mario gets hit by an enemy, one balloon will pop. If all three pop, your game ends. Pay close attention to how many balloons you have left.
13 - Ground Areas (Side Scrolling)
In the ground areas, Yoshi is always moving toward his goal. Just like in the sky areas, you can slide the stylus across the screen to draw clouds and create paths for Yoshi. In the ground areas, though, if an enemy hits Yoshi even once, your game is over.
You can change the direction Yoshi walks on the Options screen. See page 22.
Yoshi can't throw eggs once he runs out. Yoshi can increase the number of eggs in his arsenal by eating fruit.

Afterwards, you can restart from the beginning, continue from the midpoint, or quit and choose another mode.
15 - Mode Explanations

The objective in this mode is to score as many points as you can. If you've earned enough points between the start of the game and the end of the ground area, your score will be saved in the rankings.
Score- Your current points
Distance - The distance to the end
Here's the Goal! - The flower field where the stork waits marks the end of Score Attack Mode
How to Earn Points
Collect the coins in the level to earn points. The point values of the coin vary depending on their colours. You can also increase your score by hitting enemies with eggs.
16 - Marathon
The objective of Marathon mode is to try to get as far through the ground area as you can. Your score will be the distance you've traveled since the start of the game. Unlike Score Attack modes, Marathon mode never ends.
Note: For each 100 points you earn, a Super Star will appear (see p. 24). Your points then return to zero.
Best Score Marking - Flags will appear in the level marking both the highest scores and the last point you made it to. Your objective should be to get past these flags.
The 1000-Yards Relay
Every 1000 yards a new yoshi will be waiting to carry Baby Mario through to the next level. Yoshi's abilities change depending on his colour.
17 - Time Attack
In Time Attack mode, your objective is to rescue Baby Luigi from the Toadies as quickly as possible. Your score is based on the time it takes you to do so. Save Baby Luigi before the Toadies reach the end of the ground are.
Rescuing Baby Luigi
You must hit each of the Toadies with eggs several times in order to knock them away from Baby Luigi. Once you've knocked a Toady away, you must hit it once more with an egg to defeat it. Keep repeating this process until you've freed Baby Luigi.
You can access the Time Attack mode once you've earned the highest score in Score Attack mode.
18 - Challenge
Challenge mode challenges you to get as far through the ground area as you can within a set time limit. When time runs out, Kamek attacks.

Your score is based on the distance you've traveled.
