Items

Summary
Items can be obtained by winning bonus game and bandit battles. You can win one of several prizes which can then be used at any time during a level (except during boss fights). Up to 22 items can be carried at a time but in any speedrun of the game, items are purposely ignored, as they are always out of the way and simply not needed. Although, if you happen to get a bonus game they could prove useful
+10 Star ![10Star.png](/wiki/images/a/a1/10Star.png)
One of the more useful items, at least for 100% speedruns, the +10 star can be a quick way to recover stars if you get hit. If you're above 20 stars, this item (and the +20) will only give you stars up to 30.
+20 Star ![20star.png](/wiki/images/1/11/20star.png)
Functioning the same as the +10 star item, the +20 gives you 20 stars and can bail you out if something goes horribly wrong in a speedrun.
Full Egg ![FullEgg.png](/wiki/images/e/ef/FullEgg.png)
If you're in a tight spot and need eggs, this item will give you a refill up until you have 6.
POW ![Pow.png](/wiki/images/b/b7/Pow.png)
Acting as though you had just hit a POW block, this item will turn all the enemies on screen into stars. It is very similar to the big eggs seen in 2-7,
Watermelon ![WaterMelon.png](/wiki/images/f/ff/WaterMelon.png)
Not exactly a useful item but the watermelon can act as a replacement for eggs in a tight spot. Using this item is the same as if Yoshi had tongued a watermelon, allowing him to spit out seeds.
Fire-Melon ![Firemelon.png](/wiki/images/6/62/Firemelon.png)
Acting as though Yoshi had just tongued a fire-melon, this item allows you to breathe fire 3 times. It can burn enemies to a crisp and clear the ice blocks in 5-3 if needed.
Ice-Melon ![Icemelon.png](/wiki/images/b/b8/Icemelon.png)
Allowing Yoshi to breathe ice 3 times, the ice-melon can freeze most enemies in place, which would then let you break them or bounce on top of to get an extended flutter.
Magnifying Glass ![MagnifyingGlass.png](/wiki/images/a/a4/MagnifyingGlass.png)
Another not so useful item, the magnifying glass reveals all hidden red coins and winged clouds in a level. This would be a good item for a casual play-through but not for a speedrun (unless you forget where a red coin is in 100%).
Winged Cloud ![WingedCloud.png](/wiki/images/e/e1/WingedCloud.png)
Much like the POW item
