“Mirror, mirror on the wall, I've got a friend who's the ghastliest of them all! Are you frightened yet, little Yoshi?”

—Kamek, Yoshi's Island DS

Hector the Reflector is the third boss of Yoshi's Island DS. Hector the Reflector gets his name from the mirror part of the battle: he is reflected in the mirror, but cannot be seen anywhere else. It could also be a reference to the nursery rhyme, 'Hector the Protector.'

Hector is a large Invisighoul‎ living in Hector the Reflector's Haunted House, filled with Boos, possessed furniture, and other supernatural creatures. His fight uses both screens; as the fight begins, he is invisible on the top screen, but visible on the bottom. Yoshi can peek into the 'mirror' bottom screen, find Hector, and then throw an egg at him on the top. After each hit, Hector shrinks and throws a flowerpot at the bottom screen, 'cracking' it. His Invisighoul minions also pick up furniture and fling it at Yoshi, but Yoshi can eat them for more eggs.

After six hits, he shrinks until reduced to nothing, leaving a puff of smoke, granting Yoshi access to the next level.

“When Bessie Bass finishes with you, you'll be nothing but fish food!”

—Kamek, Yoshi's Island DS

Bessie Bass is a giant Boss Bass, and the mid-boss of World 3 in Yoshi's Island DS.

When first encountered on her Battleship, Bessie Bass is only slightly larger than a Yoshi; though through the use of his magic, Kamek was able to grow Bessie Bass to monstrous proportions.

In battle, Bessie Bass attempts to attack Yellow Yoshi by crushing him with several small leaps out of the water or by making a giant jump out of the water. Then, she falls downward towards Yoshi with her jaws wide-open, trying to engulf him and leave Yoshi with Baby Mario floating away. It is only when Bessie Bass makes one of these large leaps that she is vulnerable to an attack. While Bessie Bass is in the air, Yoshi must hit her on the lips to injure her; hitting Bessie Bass three times on the lips will be enough to defeat her.

In her battle against Yoshi, Bessie Bass is assisted by several Toober Guys, who Yoshi can swallow for eggs to fight her.
