Special Items[1] are a class of items that appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its GBA port, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. Unlike standard items, they are stored for later use and can be selected for immediate use during a level via the pause menu. They can be collected by winning them in Bonus Challenges and Mini Battles. The Anytime Egg, Anywhere POW, and Magnifying Glass can be acquired only through Bonus Challenges. Up to 27 Special Items can be saved in both the SNES and GBA versions.
The Special Items and their effects are as follows:
- 10-Point Star – increases the Countdown Timer by ten
- 20-Point Star – increases the Countdown Timer by 20
- Anytime Egg – gives a Yoshi a full supply of six eggs
- Anywhere POW – turns all enemies on the screen into Stars (or coins if the player already has 30 stars)
- Winged Cloud Maker – turns all enemies on the screen into Winged Clouds
- Magnifying Glass – reveals which coins are red coins and secret Winged Clouds
- Super Green Watermelon – places a green watermelon in a Yoshi's mouth, allowing him to spit seeds
- Super Red Watermelon – places a red watermelon in a Yoshi's mouth, allowing him to breathe fire
- Super Blue Watermelon – places a blue watermelon in a Yoshi's mouth, allowing him to freeze enemies
