Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates but is relatively nearby.

This is the first cache in a potential series of caches related to Nintendo characters.  This cache is dedicated to Mario's favorite dinosaur sidekick, Yoshi.  I hope you enjoy it.

To solve this cache, you must answer the following questions and use the formula below to get the cache coordinates.  At least one of the questions might require playing the Super Nintendo game.
  • A - In Super Mario Kart, what position does Yoshi appear on the driver selection screen? (Left to right, top to bottom order)
  • B - In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, how many seconds do you have to rescue Baby Mario?
  • C - In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, how many eggs can Yoshi create?
  • D - In Super Mario World, how many pink berries does Yoshi need to eat for a coin throwing cloud to appear?
  • E - What year did Yoshi make his debut?
  • F - In Super Mario World, how many coins surround the first Yoshi coin in the first level that Yoshi appears?
Coordinates can be calculated by the following formula:
F ^ A + C * D – E / B + 503,408 = ???,???

Cache Location:
N 39° 39.???
W 079° 57.???

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

Once found, please close the container tightly to prevent leaks.
