11	* Teaming up with Yoshi for the first time. What, don't ''you'' think it would be awesome to ride a dinosaur around and devour all of your enemies in a single gulp?
12	** One for the developers, too. WordOfGod states that they'd wanted Mario to ride a dinosaur ever since the first NES game, but the NES was too primitive at the time to make this dream a reality. With this game coming out 5 years later, they finally got to.
13	* [[SecretLevel Special World.]] It's arguably a NintendoHard ROMHack of itself, and it rewards you for completing ThatOneLevel, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Tubular.]] The final level introduces a special [[TrademarkFavoriteFood fruit]] that increases your time if Yoshi eats it. Then, at the very end, all the {{Mooks}} are gone, and in their place is a giant message that says "YOU ARE A SUPER PLAYER", written entirely in Coins. Then, the entire game becomes a HalloweenEpisode.
14	* Upon beating each of the Koopalings' fortresses, a humorous cutscene is shown of Mario destroying the fortress he's just spent hell getting through. Normally he just [[StuffBlowingUp blows it up]], but after beating Larry's fortress (the seventh and final fortress), Mario ''picks the fortress out of the ground and drop-kicks it''. No wonder [[PutOnABus we didn't hear from the Koopalings for so long]]... [[note]]Actually, their last appearance would be in ''VideoGame/YoshisSafari'', but that's another story...[[/note]]
15	* Fortress #2 is also awesomely destroyed, namely by Mario simply repeatedly ''kicking'' it until it crumbles to the ground.
16	* After finishing the Sunken Ship (itself a CallBack to the airships of Super Mario 3 and, apparently, the ship used by Bowser and the Koopalings to get to Dinosaur Land), the entire screen starts to shake while a unique fanfare plays and the entrance to the Valley of Bowser emerges from the depths of the ocean.
17	* Bowser's entrance in this game. To put this into perspective, his [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 first]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 confrontations]] with Mario were a bit of an anticlimax. Come to this boss, and for the first time in his long career, Bowser drops the act and introduces the Koopa Clown Car, which itself makes a grand entrance by slowly entering the screen until it's in full view, and Bowser pokes his head out in all the game's 16 bit glory. And then came [[AwesomeBosses/VideoGames the fight itself]]. This was when Bowser first earned his mantle as the King of the Koopas, and he hasn't let that title go ever since.
18	%%* Yoshi himself for showcasing his capability of eating most of the enemy types in the game, including a Blarg! Read that again: ''Yoshi. Can. Eat. A. '''BLARG!'''''
