In addition, whenever Yoshi beats a Flip Side level with all three Poochy Pups in tow within the allotted time, Poochy appears to give the player a Smiley Flower.Įxcitebike: Bun Bun Mario Battle Although they can no longer sniff secrets for the player, as the Flip Side levels have no hidden collectibles aside from the Poochy Pups, they can still be used in place of eggs. Three are hidden in each level, and are worth one Smiley Flower each when brought to the goal. The Poochy Pups reappear in the Flip Side versions of levels. Whenever Yoshi stands still, Poochy may perform some playful animations. In this game, Poochy is also capable of defeating some enemies Yoshi cannot.

Like in the previous games, he helps Yoshi traverse dangerous terrain, as well as being able to grab Smiley Flowers as he could in Yoshi's Woolly World. Poochy appears in the levels Poochy's Tape Trail, Poochy's Sweet Run, and Poochy's Magma Run. Poochy and the Poochy Pups reappear in Yoshi's Crafted World. However, even when the badge is equipped, Poochy does not appear during boss battles. He will respawn after he gets defeated or falls down a pit.Ī purchasable Power Badge makes Poochy available at any course, but because his usefulness is very situational at most courses, it only costs 500 beads to use the badge, making it the cheapest one in the game.

He will bounce onto the course when a Yarn Poochy amiibo is used, but he will leave if he gets crushed or the Yarn Poochy amiibo is used again. If Yoshi tries to eat him, he will whimper, and if Yoshi ground pounds him, he will make a squeaking noise. As part of the game's wool motif, Poochy has a knitted appearance. In addition, he can now grab Smiley Flowers, Wonder Wools, and Keys in his mouth and bring them to Yoshi. Two Yoshis are able to ride him now, and they sit on his back rather than stand. He has similar behaviors to those in his previous installments, though he has gained a few new abilities. Poochy returns in Yoshi's Woolly World, appearing in Spiky Stroll, Knot-Wing the Koopa's Aqua Fort, and Wonderful World of Wool. Poochy only appears in three levels: 1-Extra, Poochy Ain't Stupid 2-1, Visit Koopa And Para-Koopa and 3-2, Jungle Rhythm. He can be distracted by throwing an egg at his head, which he plays with and does not pay attention to anything else.

While he is jumping, Yoshi can jump off his head. If Poochy reaches a wall, he crosses through a gap if one is present (which usually only fits him and not Yoshi), and otherwise tries to jump over it, even when he cannot make it across. He can also swim through water and lava while carrying Yoshi. He attempts to follow his rider after they dismount and waits under them if he cannot jump to their location, though he does not enter Warp Pipes and doors. Poochy is ridden by jumping on his head and looking in the intended direction. He can run on hazardous forms of terrain and charge through any enemies in his path. Poochy debuts in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and reappears in the remake, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 (receiving no changes besides a graphical update).
