Mr. Geary's Factory is the third level of Shadowville, the third and final mini-boss level, and the forty-fourth level overall of Yoshi's Crafted World. This level takes place in a factory filled with gears, compactors, and lava. It is unlocked after clearing Skulking Around, and completing it unlocks The Great King Bowser, the final level in the main story. Mr. Geary is fought at the end of this level.

Overview[edit]

Front side[edit]

At the start of the level is simply a Shy Guy, and two large gears dipped in lava. There are four coins above the first gear and eight coins above the second, two of which are Red Coins. Next are two Shy Guys, then two very large compactors with a small group of coins below the second one. A Smiley Flower can be found above these compactors. There is then a Bazooka Heyho and a Winged CloudYoshi can hit with an egg to get five hearts. There is then a set of five compactors, with blocks under the fourth one which can be broken. Below this is another Bazooka Heyho and a large group of coins, four of which are red coins. To the right is a Spring allowing Yoshi to get back up. Up next are two large gears spinning in lava, with a rising compactor between them and a Winged Timer Cloud over the first one. Yoshi can hit it to reveal some Blue Coins. If he collects all of them before time runs out, he gets another Smiley Flower. Just after this is a Checkpoint Bell.

Yoshi must then move toward the background, where there are two rising lava geysers below two chance blocks. To the left is a Bazooka Heyho guarding four regular coins, two red coins, and a 10-Coin. Yoshi must head right and drop down to get to an Egg Block. However, as the gears starting moving, so does the lava. As the lava quickly rises, Yoshi must make it to the top, four more red coins along the way and another Winged Cloud just near the end he can hit to reveal another Smiley Flower. Once he does reach the top, he can head left, where there is a hidden Winged Cloud he can hit to reveal multiple coins. To the right is a pipe Shy Guys come out of, then the second Checkpoint Bell.

After this are more gears spinning in lava, with lava geysers between them and lava fountains above some. After the second gear is a Winged Cloud between two lava geysers. It can be hit with an egg to reveal another Smiley Flower. Next is a compactor, then another gear, then another compactor. Behind this gear is a present box that can be hit to get several coins as well as one red coin. Yoshi must then make his way into the foreground, where there is a Winged Cloud above a Bazooka Heyho.

At the start of the next section is a Fly Guy and a chance block Yoshi can hit to get a number of coins. To the right are three moving platforms. If Yoshi ducks while on the top one, it moves him into a secret area filled with coins. Once Yoshi makes it past a series of compactors, there is a hidden Winged Cloud to the right above a Bazooka Heyho he can hit to reveal the last Smiley Flower. After making it past two more gears, Yoshi reaches the top. To the right is a Shy Guy, a Winged Cloud, and the doors leading to the boss fight with Mr. Geary.

Flip side[edit]

Once the level starts, the Poochy Pups are seen running ahead of Yoshi. Many more mechanical gears can be spotted in the background, as well as buildings with a complimentary orange sky. The section with rising lava now has the lava slowly descend as Yoshi heads down. The set of five compactors move from left to right, like in the front side.

• The blue Poochy Pup is found at the bottom of the first vertical section, hanging onto one of the sideways compactors.
• The black Poochy Pup is found on a small raft as the lava descends.
• The pink Poochy Pup is found hanging above, between the two large compactors near the end.

Collectibles[edit]

Smiley Flowers[edit]

• Smiley Flower 1: Located high up, between the two large compactors near the start of the level.
• Smiley Flower 2: Once Yoshi reaches the gears dipped in lava, there is a Winged Timer Cloud. Yoshi must hit it with an egg, then collect all the Blue Coins that appear to reveal the second Smiley Flower.
• Smiley Flower 3: In the section with the rising lava, just before the compactors, there is a Winged Cloud Yoshi must hit to reveal the flower.
• Smiley Flower 4: In the next section with gears dipped in lava, there is a Winged Cloud floating just above the lava, between two lava geysers. Yoshi must hit it with an egg to reveal the flower.
• Smiley Flower 5: Found in the second vertical section, just after the first set of compactors, to the right in the form of an invisible Winged Cloud above a Bazooka Heyho.

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. In the flip side, three are awarded for bringing all three Poochy Pups to the goal, and one more for doing so within three minutes and thirty seconds.

—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.
