Read the transformation lesson

A Transformation Door changes the controls for a timed section. Learn its main movement before chasing the farthest reward.
| Form | Main action | Route focus |
|---|---|---|
| Umbrella Yoshi | Rise while opened | Upward shafts |
| Moto Yoshi | Fast driving and wall travel | Maintain the path |
| Mole Yoshi | Dig through soft ground | Choose a tunnel |
| Sky Pop Yoshi | Fly and shoot | Scrolling targets |
| Mermaid Yoshi | Swim and leap from water | Water exits |
| Mega Yoshi | Break large obstacles | Clear the intended route |
Collect time extensions on the route
A short detour for a clock can make the remaining path safer. Avoid spending more time reaching it than it grants.
| Badge effect | Useful goal | Planning note |
|---|---|---|
| See hidden items | Collection cleanup | Choose a stage with missing icons |
| Play alongside Poochy | Hazardous traversal | Follow his movement |
| Higher defense | Safer clearing | Still avoid pits |
| Larger yarn balls | Combat and structure filling | Keep ammunition ready |
| Protection from pits | Difficult jumping | Check badge availability |
Choose a badge for the current problem
Power Badges can help with hazards, item discovery or movement. Spend beads on the feature that addresses the next missing objective.
Separate costume from performance
Patterned Yoshis are collection rewards. A new appearance does not replace selecting an appropriate badge or mode.
