A '''Power Badge''' is a power-up in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and its remake ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' that grant {{id|Yoshi|species}} a variety of beneficial effects. They are similar to the [[Special Item (Yoshi's Island series)|Special items]] from {{a|SMW2YI|l}} and {{a|SMA3|l}}. The player can select one Power Badge to use from from a menu that appears prior to starting a level and the Power Badge is removed from Yoshi upon exiting the level. In multiplayer, each player selects their own Power Badge. Power Badges cost [[bead]]s to equip. The player can switch their current Power Badge at anytime during the level via the pause menu, but this also costs Beads and the game does not restore a purchase made if the player swaps away from then back to the same Power Badge. ''Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World'' allows the player to view which Badge they have on the Touch Screen, and access the selection menu while pausing the game in one stroke by tapping on a button that displays the Power Badge. Sometimes after completing a level, an "Everything's free!" event is held. In it, the player can select a Power Badge prior to starting a level at no cost.

During boss battles, the player cannot use the "Play alongside Poochy" Power Badge. During the battle against [[Mega Baby Bowser]], the player cannot use several additional Power Badges. Such Power Badges cannot be selected during these battles. If they are selected before entering, the badge has no effect. Power Badges cannot be used at all in the Boss Challenges of the [[Boss Tent]]; the option to select one does not appear.

The different Power Badges are listed as follows:

|-
|[[File:No image.png|75px]]||No badge...||0||Represents the option of not selecting a Power Badge.||[[Yarn Yoshi Takes Shape!|World 1-1]]
|-
|[[File:Clear-pbadge.jpg]]||Clear the course!||2000||Allows [[Yoshi]] to skip the course. This badge can only be used in [[Easy Mode|Mellow Mode]].||[[Yarn Yoshi Takes Shape!|World 1-1]]
|-
|[[File:Yarnball-pbadge.jpg]]||Make all yarn balls big!||1000||Every [[yarn ball]] Yoshi creates is instead a [[big yarn ball]]. This is the only way for Yoshi to [[Spit out|spit]] big yarn balls out. Hitting an [[Egg Block|Yarn Basket]] causes it to release big yarn balls up to Yoshi's maximum, rather than releasing yarn balls or big yarn balls one at a time. Any yarn ball that starts to follow Yoshi immediately becomes a big yarn ball. Existing yarn balls following Yoshi do not become big yarn balls when this badge is equipped, but can be affected if Yoshi has the yarn ball stop following them then start following them again. This cannot be chosen while fighting Mega Baby Bowser.||[[Bounceabout Woods|World 1-2]]
|-
|[[File:Pit-pbadge.jpg]]||Fall into a pit? No problem!||7500||Causes the player to bounce out of [[pit|bottomless pit]]s instead of being sent to the last [[Checkpoint (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Checkpoint]] or the start of the course.||[[Big Montgomery's Fort|World 1-4]]
|-
|[[File:gp-pbadge.jpg]]||Power up Ground Pound!||5000||Causes Yoshi's [[Ground Pound]] to generate a shockwave if it concludes against the ground. The shockwave defeats most on-screen enemies. Enemies approaching from the background can be affected, but enemies too far away in either the main plane or the background will not be. The shockwave can affect bosses in different ways depending on the boss, but does not inflict damage. ||[[Shy but Deadly|World 1-6]]

This cannot be chosen while fighting Mega Baby Bowser.||[[Burt the Bashful's Castle|World 1-8]]
|-
|[[File:Fire-pbadge.jpg]]||Immunity to fire and lava!||7500||Fire only knocks Yoshi back and disrupts them, rather than damaging them. Yoshi bounces off of [[lava]] instead of being sent back to the last Checkpoint or the start of the course.||[[Knot-Wing the Koopa's Fort|World 2-4]]
|-
|[[File:Poochy-pbadge.jpg]]||Play alongside Poochy!||500||Causes [[Poochy]] to appear in the course, jumping on screen after transitions or if he leaves the screen. Poochy has a number of uses, including defeating enemies, collecting Beads, locating [[Wonder Wool]], and being a platform that can move across hazards and appear in the air.

|[[File:Defense-pbadge.jpg]]||Higher defense!||3000||Makes the player lose three [[heart (item)|heart]]s instead of five upon receiving damage. This cannot be chosen in Mellow Mode in the 3DS port.||[[Bunson the Hot Dog's Castle|World 2-8]]
