Aside from just hanging out with all of the adorable Yoshis walking about, you can take on a side quest that involves a tough-looking dino named Boshi. Boshi hasn’t been allowing anyone to race and taking all of their cookies, so it’s up to Mario and his pals to humble him.

If you have the 3 Musty Fears side quest active, Yo’ster Isle is where you can find one of the flags you’re tasked with finding. Just head to the race track and look for the Big Boo Flag near where it says “GOAL”.
