A-Mazing Post Pounding is the sixth level of World 3 in Yoshi's Woolly World.

Layout[edit]

The level opens with a pitfall with one Fang at the top. After the pitfall, Yoshi must ground pound the posts blocking the door, then enter the door. Yoshi enters a room with many posts. Yoshi should pound either the yellow post or the purple post to continue to the next room, then trigger the secret Winged Cloud to touch the first checkpoint. Afterwards, Yoshi must use the spring-like posts to advance directly to the second checkpoint. Afterwards, Yoshi must hit a hidden Winged Cloud by flutter jumping to the left of the ledge, revealing a platform to an edible wall. Eating this wall and activating the trampoline-like post will send Yoshi to another part of the maze, where Yoshi can repass the first checkpoint. Afterwards, Yoshi should return to the ledge containing the second checkpoint, where a Present Box containing a key awaits. Yoshi must then pound the nearby pink post and eat the edible wall to enter the Whirly Gate, transforming him into Mole Yoshi. After the transformation segment, Yoshi must go to the left, then pound the post to spring up and open the locked door. Yoshi must then pound the last post to leave the area and get to the goal roulette.

Collectibles[edit]

Smiley Flowers[edit]

• Smiley Flower 1: Behind an edible wall just below the fourth Smiley Flower.
• Smiley Flower 2: When in the room with the trampoline-like posts, Yoshi must pound the rightmost purple post, then move the right wall and throw a yarn ball at the Winged Cloud to unveil the Smiley Flower.
• Smiley Flower 3: When Yoshi approaches the second checkpoint, he must eat an edible wall just above, then enter a door. Inside the secret area, Yoshi must continuously jump off of Fangs to reach the Smiley Flower.
• Smiley Flower 4: In the same room as the first checkpoint, guarded by a Piranha Plant.
• Smiley Flower 5: After getting bounced from pounding the last post, Yoshi must touch the exclamation circle, then follow the trail of beads down to the Smiley Flower.

Wonder Wools[edit]

• Wonder Wool 1: After the pitfall at the start of the level, Yoshi must push the left wall and throw a yarn ball (from eating the Fang) at the Winged Cloud to unveil the Wonder Wool.
• Wonder Wool 2: Yoshi must ground pound the second purple post to be led directly to the Wonder Wool.
• Wonder Wool 3: Surrounded by sponge dirt near the end of the Mole Yoshi segment.
• Wonder Wool 4: Immediately after the Mole Yoshi segment, up above some Fangs.
• Wonder Wool 5: At the room to the left of the Whirly Gate exit, Yoshi must pound the post to bounce up and collect the Wonder Wool.

Collecting all of the Wonder Wools knits Pound Post Yoshi back together.

Yoshi Transformation[edit]

During the level there is a Whirly Gate segment featuring Mole Yoshi. This segment, when completed, cannot be reentered.

Enemies[edit]

Names in other languages[edit]

Smiley Flowers, also referred to as Special Flowers^[1] or simply Flowers,^[2][3] are plant items that appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Island DS, Yoshi's New Island, Yoshi's Woolly World, Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, and Yoshi's Crafted World. Their role is comparable to Dragon Coins and Star Coins. There are also evil smirking versions known as Fooly Flowers that attempt to trick the Yoshi into coming near them, then roll into them.

History[edit]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island[edit]

In the first entry in the Yoshi's Island series of games, there are five flowers in each level, and netting all five earns the Yoshi an Extra Life and fifty points toward the completion score (10 points per flower). Getting all the flowers in each level is also necessary for the Yoshi to get a perfect score. Collecting at least one flower is also necessary to access a Bonus Challenge via the goal roulette, and the chance of playing a Bonus Challenge is increased by collecting more. Flowers appear as sleeping seeds if frozen or not collected at the end of a level.

Yoshi's Island DS[edit]

Flowers also appear in Yoshi's Island DS, functioning the same way as in the game's predecessor.

Yoshi's New Island[edit]

Flowers return in Yoshi's New Island, now known as 'Smiley Flowers' but functioning the same way as in the game's predecessor. However, as there are no score features or Bonus Challenges in this title, collecting all five increases the chances of getting Egg Medals via the goal roulette.

Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]

Smiley Flowers reappear in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, acting the same as in previous games. However, collecting all five does not give players an extra life, since the Yoshis have infinite lives. If Yoshi manages to collect all Smiley Flowers from a world, an additional level is unlocked in that world. If all Smiley Flowers are collected from all other levels, a special level in a special world is unlocked, called Wonderful World of Wool. The Smiley Flower at the Goal Ring will give Yoshi a chance to play a Bonus Game for extra Beads.

Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]

Smiley Flowers return in Yoshi's Crafted World, and like in Yoshi's Woolly World, they do not grant extra lives since Yoshi has infinite lives. The player also earns additional Smiley Flowers in a level for collecting a set number of coins, collecting all Red Coins, getting full hearts, finding the Poochy Pups, finding them within a set time, and finding all of the souvenirs. Yoshi must also give Blockafellers certain amounts of Smiley Flowers to advance to certain levels. Unlike previous games, they do not give the player a chance to play a Bonus Game. Unlike previous games, there are varying amounts of Smiley Flowers per level (between 5 and 8).
