Bead

Beads are collectibles that appear in Yoshi's Woolly World, based on the items of the same name that appear in Kirby's Epic Yarn.

They are found simply floating, by hitting Winged Clouds or pulling bows to unravel parts the scenery, among other methods. They come in different colors and sizes. Small-sized ones are worth one bead, while medium-sized ones are worth five beads and big-sized ones are worth ten beads. Beads also appear on the goal roulette along with the smiley flowers the player have collected.

Some beads -- 20 in each level -- contain Stamp Patches. There is no distinguishing feature about beads containing stamp patches, but once the player has completed the level, previously collected beads with stamp patches will be marked with a small icon on subsequent playthroughs.

Players can obtain beads by touching the bead with Yoshi himself, or touching the bead using wool thrown by Yoshi. Some beads are only collectable/ visible when the player reaches a certain location on the screen or hits a winged cloud.

Beads can be used to purchase power-ups for the upcoming/current level that will aid Yoshi in his quest.
