Editing Poochy Dash

'''Poochy Dash''' is a bonus mode in ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' in which the player plays as [[Poochy]] in an auto-run style platformer trying to collect as many [[bead]]s as possible as he races to the goal. Poochy can [[jump]], [[stomp]], and [[Crouch|slide]], and he passively plows though enemies and boxes. Performing certain actions in a stage causes beads to appear in fireworks patterns, and these beads automatically fly into Poochy soon after appearing. Beads are displayed dropping into the background of the Touch Screen as they are collected, and stack up there as more are collected. The goal appears similarly to the goals that Yoshi's transformations use, with a design of Poochy's face and colors to match his own, though stages terminate even if Poochy runs past the goal.

Most things are unable to harm Poochy. If he crashes into a wall, he bounces back while some of the collected beads scatter. The beads disappear fairly quickly, and Poochy's automatic movement means many of them cannot be retrieved at all. The hook of a [[Hook Guy]] does the same while knocking Poochy over, though once Poochy rights himself he gains mercy invincibility. Near collisions with walls in the air allow Poochy to flip over the lip and proceed, though the arc of this flip is fixed and can make Poochy miss items. Dropping down a [[pit]] restarts the level; there are no checkpoints. 

Each stage also has three [[Poochy Pup]]s. Once found, they the pups will follow Poochy all the way to the goal. Differing animations play based on the number of Poochy Pups collected, and each Poochy Pup is tied to a 50 Bead firework once the stage is finished. Poochy earns a  bronze, silver, gold, or platinum medal based on the beads he has when a stage concludes. There are three missions for each stage, available after Poochy clears that stage for the first time. They task him with completing tasks in the course. One of them is always to collect 1500 beads, another is always to pop all three of the [[Item Balloon|balloon]]s flying in the stage, and the third is variable. Once unlocked, they appear on the Touch Screen while in a course, and superimpose a star outline on the Top Screen when completed. A bonus time mission is available for each stage when the Poochy [[amiibo]] is scanned at the [[Poochy Hut]].

Poochy Dash is accessed from the Poochy Hut on [[Craft Island]]. On a World Map, a button on the Touch Screen depicting Poochy and a bone allows the player to warp to the Poochy Hut. There are six stages available in Poochy Dash, one associated with each world. The first one is available at the start, while the others are unlocked after the player clears the fourth course of a world in each world past [[World 1 (Yoshi's Woolly World)|World 1]].

==Gold Rush==
If Yoshi gets a [[Smiley Flower]] at the [[Goal Ring]], it unlocks Gold Rush mode for one use in Poochy Dash. When a course is entered in Gold Rush mode, a [[Gold Lakitu]] flies across the entire course. This Lakitu follows the route that completes all three missions, leaving a trail of gold beads for Poochy to collect. No normal beads appear during a Gold Rush, though various fireworks patterns will appear exclusively using golden beads. The player cannot complete missions in this mode. The medal in this stage, regardless the number of beads collected, is a depiction of Poochy atop a pile of gold beads. If Gold Rush is available, the player can toggle between playing courses normally and playing courses in Gold Rush by tapping the gold [[Lakitu's Cloud]] in the bottom-right corner of the Touch Screen. If Gold Rush is available, the quick selection button on World Maps is changed to Poochy having uncovered three gold Beads.

==List of Poochy designs==
With the exception of Golden Poochy, Poochy's designs can only be unlocked by completing amiibo missions.
