Yoshi's Wings

Yoshi's Wings, also named Wings or Warp Wings, are a power-up item from Super Mario World. When Mario or Luigi picks up this rare item while riding a Yoshi, the latter turns into Winged Yoshi, and they both enter Coin Heaven. In the original game, the Yoshi turns blue upon obtaining the wings and remains so after the Coin Heaven sequence is completed, no matter what colored Yoshi the player picked up the wings with. However, in the Game Boy Advance reissue, the Yoshi's color no longer changes when he grabs the wings.

In Super Mario World, wings only occur naturally in 3 levels: Cheese Bridge Area, Valley of Bowser 2, and Way Cool, although it is possible to use glitches to spawn wings in other levels.

In the Super Mario World animated series, Yoshi's Wings, though called Magic Wings, appear in the episodes "Ghosts 'R' Us," "Born to Ride," and "The Night Before Cave Christmas," where, like in the game, they can turn Yoshi into Winged Yoshi.
