Lore
The Infested Forest (AKA Yoshi Woods) is a thick forest that fosters the Yoshi race via the berries that grow on the bushes and trees of this forest. It's normally a peaceful forest with only ambient creatures such as birds, worms and friendly Koopas who lived alongside Yoshis. Both regions of the forest are connected with a cave network, that is rumored to inhabit Nature Elementals in the deepest parts.

Unfortunately, the forest's peaceful days have ceased ever since Piranha Plants infested the entirety of the forest for their own benefits. With the help of a giant monster known as Petey Piranha, their presence have caused immense terror on Yoshis, causing majority of them to flee from their home. With only a limited amount of Yoshis around, it's now the home of Piranha Plants. But not for long...
