Arrow Ball: A ball with an arrow. Blue ones can disappear, but green ones don't. Found by Ludwig 222.

Arrow Cloud: If Yoshi can manage to hit this, his egg will be sent in the direction it is pointing, like perhaps into the player's face. Apparently, Boshee got some egg on his so he remembered it.

Arrow Lift: Found in some castles and fortresses. It spins around andwill give you a ride in the direction it's pointing at when you jump on it.Blue ones will disappear after a bit. You can also pick them up with your
tongue. Fun! Found by Hip.

Balloon: There are three types of these in the game. One type floats in the air and holds crates and even bombs and Needlenoses. Another type floats in the air and is found in four colors: green, red, yellow, and purple. The other type is only found in World 4-3 and is attached to a springboard and Yoshi can jump on the springboard about five times to make the balloon giant. It also helps Yoshi get the rest of the red coins in the level and take Yoshi to the secret goal. Cheater! Found by Ludwig 222,

Beanstalk: In some winged clouds, a seed drops out forming a beanstalk. Yoshi could climb up the leaves to the top and into a new area. Found by Ludwig 222.

Big Eggs: These accursed things suddenly appeared and allowed Yoshi to defeat little ‘ol me. They hurt my nose! I was reminded about this by Foshi.

Checkered Platform Switch: A blue or pink block. When hit, it will turn into a checkered platform. Blue ones move back and forth and pink ones move up and down. Found by Ludwig 222.

Chest: In some castles with lava rivers, Yoshi can ride one across it. I have no idea why it can support ALL his weight. It goes SO slow that a Boo can be faster than one! Found by Ludwig 222.

Colored Blocks: Blocks found in some castles that are destroyed by eggs. Green ones take on hit, yellow takes two, and red takes three. Found by Ludwig 222.

Donut Lift: Like in Mario 3, standing on this too long makes it fall. Found by Ludwig 222.

Ice Block: A block of ice (duh). Fire breath will melt it. Found by Ludwig 222.

Key: The boss of the first five worlds drop these. Yoshi needs them to access the next world.

Key(2): I never actually saw one of these, but rumor has it if you find one you can open a locked door that allows for a bonus game against Bandit for a lame prize. Boshee either found this or stole it off the web.

Message Block: Yoshi is so pathetic that he needs these to give him some help. Boshee is also pathetic, since he must use these often.

Middle Ring: Usually found at the midpoint of a level. Going through this gives you ten Stars, and if you die later on you'll start where the Middle Ring was. Found by Ludwig 222.

Morph Bubble: When Yoshi touches these, they transform him into various bizarre vehicles. Submitted by Jazzman.

Pipe: Sometimes, Shy Guys will pop out of these until there's enough for you to have six eggs. Pipes that you can enter are warp pipes. Fun! Found by Hip.

Ski Equipment: There's only two sets to be found in the game. They are in levels 5-3 and 5-Extra. If Yoshi enters a hut containing Ski Equipment, they will leave wearing toques and Yoshi will be wearing skis and ski poles, ready to tackle the upcoming downhill part of the level. Found by Hip.

Ski Lift: Found in 5-2 and 5-3. Dr. Freezegood is usually found on them. Found by Ludwig 222.

Stairs: Sometimes hitting a Winged Cloud will yield a staircase, used to reach higher levels. Fun! Found by Hip.

Star: Yoshi starts every level with 10 of these and can hold up to 30. They act as a counter. If Mario gets knocked off Yoshi's back, the Stars will decrease second by second until you retrieve Mario or end up with 0 stars and have Mario get kidnapped. Yoshi will magically recover Stars if you have less then 10 and have Mario with you. Found by Hip.

Starman: When Yoshi touches this, Baby Mario becomes powered up and leads Yoshi around for a short time.

Stone Block: An egg is the only thing that'll break these. Fun! Found by Hip.

Super Watermelon: Like regular yucky watermelon, but Yoshi can use these whenever he wants because they're prizes. Boshee played the game so much that he remembered about this.

Switch: Much as it's hard to fathom, when Yoshi steps on this, something happens. This description is alike to the Winged Cloud, but blame Boshee for reminding me about it.

Tilting Platform: Standing on this platform for too long makes it tilt. Others will sometimes flip. Found in Marching Milde's Fort. Found by Ludwig 222.

Tri-Block: These come in three colors, and you need eggs to break them. Hit a red one and  it will turn it yellow. A second egg will turn it green, and another egg will break it completly. They can be found in a few fortresses and castles. Fun! Found by Hip.

Tulip: A red tulip supended in the air of many levels. Throw an enemy or item into it and stars or coins will come out. Found by Ludwig 222.
