Yellowstone Journey is the 2nd level in Alternate Earth and is based on Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, USA.
Layout[]
The level consists of three different sections. In the first section, the player must venture through the forest and encounter various enemies, such as condors, squirrels and Goombas dressed as forest park rangers.
The second section has the player going through some cliffs. They can pick a reloadable shotgun that someone left on the ground to take down some moose and other hostile wildlife.
The last section takes place on a cliff side area with the famous "Old Faithful" geyser in the background that occasionally will burst out scalding water into the foreground to harm the player.
After this, jump on the flagpole to complete the level and the player can choose one of the two states to go to next on the map.

Trivia[]
- Some sprites and level art is from the SNES game E.V.O. Search for Eden!.
- The background for this level comes from P-47 Aces with the mountains having an unknown source.
- In older versions of MKF, the last part of the level featured a "RUN" section, where the player had to outrun a herd of angry buffaloes. However, the part with running buffaloes was removed and the level ends after the Old Faithful Geyser section. The premise of the player outrunning a herd of animals would be used in Pamplona Stampede, which features bulls instead of buffaloes.
- In very earlier versions of MKF, the buffalo section had a stand-alone level called Buffalo Placeholder.
- These buffaloes were later used as a weapon for the debug character Vinny.
- Nipper Plants and Blue Skulls from Wonder Boy were originally located in the now-removed area of the player outrunning buffaloes.
- This level also featured an auto-scroll section in the beginning but was removed after the level was revamped.
- The Hawks from Ninja Gaiden were originally in this level but were replaced with the Ravens from Castlevania. However, the bird enemies were ultimately removed altogether.
- Monty Moles, Buzzy Beetles, Hammer Bros, Cheep Cheeps, Spiny Cheep Cheeps, Rip-Van Fishes, Urchins, Volcano Lotuses, and Fishbonees were found in the original version of this level but were removed after the level was revamped.
- Grubbies, Uneras, and Spikes were originally absent from this level.
- Prior to the v0.875 update, Nokobons and Hammer Bros were also absent.
- According to the old MKF forum, a bear was planned to be a boss in this level but was scrapped.
- Starting in the v0.875 update, this level now takes place during sunrise as the background is now yellow-orange. Beforehand, it took places in the daytime as the sky was sky blue.
- The Old Faithful Geyser section previously used real world footage of the actual geyser as a background.
