If you’ve already seen some bugs in the game, the Bug Country chapter of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book will surprise you. It features some of the most challenging bugs in the game.
There are many Smiley Flowers to find in this chapter. Several creatures have more complex mechanics, making some of the Flower locations a bit harder to reach.

This chapter introduces six new creatures:

- Wooshwing
Across all these creatures, there are 25 Smiley Flowers to discover.
