Wonder Wool

Wonder Wools are collectible items that appear in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. There are five Wonder Wools in each level, all in a variety of different colors; there are 275 Wonder Wools total in the game. Wonder Wools are Yoshis that have been unwoven by Kamek's magic; the Yoshis are made up of five Wonder Wools each. The color of the Yoshi determines the colors of the Wonder Wools it is made up of. If the player collects all five Wonder Wools in a level, a Yoshi pattern is unlocked. Unlike Smiley Flowers and beads, Wonder Wools cannot be collected by throwing a yarn ball at them. However, a Yoshi can throw another Yoshi (or a Poochy Pup in the 3DS version's Mellow Mode) at a Wonder Wool to collect it. In King Bowser's Castle, Kamek creates giant magenta Wonder Wools, which are used to empower Baby Bowser for the final battle.
