The Basics
Secret of the Heart - You will hear a bell ringing when you are near a Heart.
Favorite Fruit - All of the Yoshi have a lucky fruit (determined by color coating), but they all like melons the most. If you collect 30 melons on a level you will receive a higher score and a new level completion screen.
Smelling - Use your Sniff-Sniff power on trees, signs, rocks, and platforms to unlock more secrets (e.g. coins, melons).
Quick Reset - If a Yoshi dies on a level and you aren't happy with what just happened, quickly restart the game. You will start back on the page with all of the Yoshi you have brought along.
Moves and Items - Consult your manual for descriptions of Ground Pound, Flutter Jump, Mystical Tulip, Poochy, and so on.
Fruit Challenge - Usually, each level is home to a fruit game. When attempting these, we strongly recommend bringing three to four melons with you, just in case you don't get all seven as a reward. Doing this almost guarantees you access to a Tiny Heart, and more importantly, the hidden letter.
The Letters - There is one letter hidden on each level. If you collect them all, a hidden message and different ending await.

Heart #2 - After warping through the pot, go down, break the rocks, and head right. Drop down to the bottom at the floating platform section, and go to your left.

Drop down, go to the left, and ascend the "!" Balls. Ground Pound the "?" Block. Before entering, make sure you have six Eggs with you. Blast the rocks, and use your remaining Eggs on one of the skeleton beasts. You'll need to use the Ground Pound on the remaining two enemies. If your health gets low there is a Flower on the platform above. Once these guys are defeated, the Heart is yours.

Break the rocks and Heart #1 is nothing but history.
Heart #2 - From the first heart, head back into the green door and fall to the bottom. Thoroughly exploring this cavern will reveal another door. Do not take it. Rather, go past it and also pass by Miss Warp #2. At the end of your jaunt you will find a pot. Jump inside, and defeat the slug mini-boss. Your reward is Heart #2.
Heart #3 - Now, go back through the door you've been avoiding. This will bring you back to the beginning.
