Sniff

Sniffing, also called smelling^[1] or the Sniff-Sniff,^[2] is a basic special move used by all Yoshis in Yoshi's Story . The intention of the move is to search for valuable items. The player can have a Yoshi sniff by pressing R Button. Yoshis move slower while sniffing. When a Yoshi gets closer to a secret, he starts to sniff faster until a "!" pops above the Yoshi's head, indicating that the secret is nearby. Once the Yoshi is on the secret spot, he gets excited and begins yelping and waving his arms. Poochy can also sniff out secret items in certain levels but barks to indicate being at a secret. Either way, a Yoshi can ground-pound the spot where the secret is to retrieve it. An egg might need to be thrown at the secret's spot to reveal it, such as if the secret is in midair or in a rock block.

    Use the R Button to sniff. You may catch a whiff of something sweet. The closer you get to the secret, the faster Yoshi sniffs.
