“And where do you think you're going? I'll send you to your watery doom!”

—Kamek, Yoshi's Crafted World

Yarrctopus is a mini-boss who appears in Yoshi's Crafted World. He is fought in Yarrctopus Docks at the end of the level Pirate Pier. He is a pirate octopus made out of craft materials. Due to Yarrctopus only being a mini-boss, defeating him will not recover a Dream Gem. His name comes from 'yarr' (a pirate's shout) and 'octopus'.

Once Yoshi makes it to the end of Pirate Pier, Kamek will appear with Baby Bowser, refusing to let Yoshi travel any farther. Using his magic, he repairs a pirate ship in the background and transforms one of its cannons into Yarrctopus, who must be defeated. During his battle, Yarrctopus will remain on the pirate ship, hiding behind three different walls. After a moment, one of the walls will fall over, fully revealing Yarrctopus, who will then try to shoot a spike ball at Yoshi. If successful, Yoshi will take damage. If Yoshi is able to hit Yarrctopus with an egg before the wall goes up, however, Yarrctopus will be launched into the sea and return, angrier than before.

As Yarrctopus becomes angrier, he will launch more spike balls at Yoshi each time he appears. Rocks which appear in the water will also obscure Yarrctopus, preventing Yoshi from being able to hit him at certain times. After Yarrctopus is hit with an egg three times, he will once again be launched into the ocean, where he will remain. After his defeat, the level is completed, and Yoshi can advance to Go-Go Land.

Burt's Bouncy Battle is the boss level of Chilly-Hot Isles in Yoshi's Crafted World. In this level, Yoshi must battle and defeat Burt the Ball to recover the yellow Dream Gem. Twenty Smiley Flowers are required to unlock this level.

Battle[edit]

At the start of the level, Yoshi is seen running ahead before being stopped by Kamek and Baby Bowser, who is balancing on a large beach ball in the water. Baby Bowser rolls over to Yoshi, telling him that the Dream Gems are his and that he won't be getting in his way this time. He then asks Yoshi if he thinks he can do it better than him, and Yoshi is given the choice of answering 'Eh... Not so much' or 'Sure I do!'

If Yoshi goes with the first response, Baby Bowser becomes excited and boasts that Yoshi knows awesomeness when he sees it, then falls off the ball and into the water. Baby Bowser becomes angry and Kamek claims it was Yoshi's fault for not being honest. If Yoshi replies 'Sure I do!', Baby Bowser becomes angry with him and falls into the water, which makes him even angrier. Kamek then uses his magic to transform the beach ball and a giant pair of striped pants into Burt the Ball.

At the start of the battle, four hearts parachute toward Yoshi. Burt begins attacking by hopping three times from one side of the platform to the other. Next, he uses a whistle to call in Bumpties, which fall out of the air, bounce off Burt, and slide toward Yoshi. Yoshi must eat one, spit it back out at Burt to make him lose his balance, then do it again before he regains it. If Yoshi is quick enough, Burt falls into the water upside down. Yoshi must then Ground Pound the revealed bandage to damage him. Burt then flies into the background and summons five Beach Burts in rubber rings who throw beach balls at Yoshi when he blows his whistle.

After this, Burt jumps back onto the platform and rolls from one end to the other, jumping in the middle. He then summons more Bumpties, some of which are in buckets. Yoshi must repeat the damaging process. After he damages Burt a second time, he flies back into the background and summons more Beach Burts. The ones at the ends throw more beach balls, while the one in the middle spikes Burt toward the center of the stage. He then Ground Pounds one side of the platform and jumps to the other as more Bumpties in buckets slide down. After this, more Bumpties fall toward Yoshi. If he is able to damage Burt one more time, his pants fall off into the water. Burt is so embarrassed that he deflates and flies away. After he is defeated, it is revealed that the yellow Dream Gem was in his pants all along, and Yoshi collects it.
