SMW challenge from virtualboy2558:
Enter Chocolate Island 1 with a cape and Yoshi. Hold right during the entire level and stomp every rhino enemy. I cannot run, and I must finish with Yoshi.

Now, there are a couple of major issues to deal with here. The first one, which virtualboy2558 did mention to me, is that getting over the first wall with the help of a mini-rhino is luck-based. If it goes too far offscreen and despawns, or stops in the wrong place and torches me, I'm screwed (and the torch will damage Mario even if he's on Yoshi). So, what I did was, after several attempts, I placed a savestate at that point once that mini-rhino decided not to move in a "screw you" kind of way (because there's no sense in repeating that beginning part several times until I get lucky every time I mess up later on). Afterwards, I played the rest of the level fairly.

The other issue is near the end. If the Red Switch isn't active, a couple of rhinos will fall in a pit before I can reach them. So, to solve that, I simply hit the Red Switch, which kept them in play and allowed me to stomp them.

Everything else is basically learning when and where to jump in the level.
