It is possible to save up to to 27 Special Items. The types and their effects are as follows:
- 10-Point Star – increases the Countdown Timer by ten

- Anytime Egg – gives a Yoshi a full supply of six eggs
- Anywhere POW – turns all enemies on the screen into Stars (or coins if the player already has 30 stars)
