“Thanks! That really puts a spring in my step!”

—Blockafeller, Yoshi's Crafted World

Blockafellers^[1] are a family of robot-like characters in Yoshi's Crafted World. They have springy arms, heads with a flower on top and a large nose, a singular 'foot' made out of a bottle cap, and bodies made out of cardboard boxes. All Blockafellers except for the one in Sunshine Station start out without any energy in the middle of the path, with their appearance being a box with a meter in front of it. Once they are given the required amount of Smiley Flowers to recharge them, they unlock the world and stay on the far left spot on the map of the world, or to the left of the boss battles. Their color scheme changes depending on the Blockafeller. Their name appears to be a combination of 'block' and 'Rockefeller.'

Three types of Blockafeller exist in the game. The first kind is the standard kind that appears in each world. The second is a larger variant known as Torques. These ones have two bottle cap feet instead of one, lack springy arms (having them directly attached to their bodies instead) and wear clothing such as overalls, sunhats, or sunglasses. These Blockafellers appear on each boss battle island. Finally, there is a single elderly Blockafeller with a cane and elf hat named Crumples who appears twice in the game, once to tell the player they can choose the order to search for the red, purple, and yellow Dream Gems, and again once the player collects said Dream Gems to access the final few areas. After talking with him in both of these encounters, he flies away with balloons on his back.

After the player beats a level, the world's Blockafeller assigns them a task that involves going back to the same level to collect a souvenir for them, such as collecting five cardboard cows in Rail-Yard Run. When the task is beaten, the player can choose to continue playing the level or to exit it. When the level is exited after the task is completed, the world's Blockafeller gives the player a Smiley Flower.

A Blockafeller costume can also be unlocked by finding Sprout in every level.

Trivia[edit]

• In the demo for Yoshi's Crafted World, the Blockafeller in Sunshine Station is named Fin instead of Coal, whereas his brother who is named Fin in the full game is not present in the demo at all. This can be discovered by speaking with the Blockafeller first before playing Rail-Yard Run.

Monty-Mole-B-Gone is the eleventh level of Yoshi's Crafted World, and the second level of Origami Gardens. It is the second minigame level in the game which means that certain rules are applied to the level. The objective is to defeat as many Monty Moles as possible before the end of the level.

Overview[edit]

Front side[edit]

The level begins with a Message Block near a board showing how many Monty Moles must be defeated to earn Smiley Flowers. After Yoshi goes through one-way flippers, the level starts autoscrolling to the right.

A few Monty Moles appearing from the ground appear first. Tape that unrolls when Yoshi stands on it is found, with coins below it. A Winged Cloud with hearts in it appears next. More Monty Moles appear ahead, with one carried by an Item Balloon. Some Monty Moles peek out from crafted watermelons in the background, closing them after some time. A pit with three platforms above it is next, with rolled tape below the platforms. Crafted sunflowers are later found, with leaves that Yoshi can walk on. Afterward, a larger pit appears with rolled tape that Yoshi must use to cross it. A pot with four Monty Moles running in a circle appears, with one carrying a 10 Coin. More Monty Moles are found in the background, with a big Monty Mole also present. After a bridge of rolled tape, another Winged Cloud with hearts is found. Next, large dirt area is seen in the background with three Monty Moles, one carrying a 10 Coin. Three big Monty Moles appear halfway across it, with an Egg Block nearby that Yoshi can hit. After three Monty Moles carried by Item Balloons, Yoshi reaches the goal.

Flip side[edit]

The background is revealed to be light brown on the flip side, as opposed to blue on the front side. Monty Moles still move towards Yoshi. The light blue Poochy Pup is found on a large dirt area in the background. It starts behind a tomato and walks with some Monty Moles as the camera moves. The black Poochy Pup runs around two tomatoes with Monty Moles, on a planter in the background. A spring now appears on the breakable block near the alcove with the four Monty Moles running in a circle. Those Monty Moles no longer have a 10 Coin. In a group of three watermelon crafts, the pink Poochy Pup is found in the one on the right. The other two contain Monty Moles.

Collectibles[edit]

Smiley Flowers[edit]

• Smiley Flower 1: Obtained on a high spot near a Monty Mole carried by an Item Balloon.
• Smiley Flower 2: Directly after the first flower, under a platform. Yoshi can throw an egg to get it.
• Smiley Flower 3: Under rolled tape in plain sight. This flower can be hit with an egg.
• Smiley Flower 4: Obtained by unraveling a piece of tape allowing Yoshi to hover to the flower.
• Smiley Flower 5: Automatically collected for defeating 45 Monty Moles.
• Smiley Flower 6: Automatically collected for defeating 60 Monty Moles.

Three more Smiley Flowers are awarded for collecting at least 100 coins in the level, completing the level with 20 hearts, and collecting all 20 Red Coins.
