The '''Invincibility Egg''' is an item found only in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|its Nintendo 3DS port]]. The item will appear once [[Yoshi]] has been defeated five times, much like the [[Invincibility Leaf]]. The major difference, however, is that there is no negative effect on game completion if Yoshi uses the Egg.

==Function==
While Winged Yoshi can no longer take damage, touching enemies and attacks still knocks him back and while stunning him for that animation. Unlike [[Super Star|most kinds of invincibility power-ups]] in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, Yoshi cannot defeat foes instantly by touching them. There is also no immunity to being instantly defeated by [[Spike (obstacle)|spikes]], [[Lava|lava]], being crushed, [[Pit|bottomless pits]], and touching [[Naval Piranha]]'s red circular vines in [[Naval Piranha 2: Now It's Personal!]]. The "Immunity to fire and lava!" [[Power Badge (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Power Badge]] or the "Fall into a pit? No problem!" Power Badge stack with the Invincibility Egg, covering some of the gaps of the latter power up.  
Like the name of the item implies, it grants Yoshi invincibility to damage by enemies, signified by Yoshi glowing multiple colors. However, no knockback resistance is given (Yoshi can still be pushed around by enemies and their attacks without being harmed), and unlike [[Invincible Mario|most cases of invincibility]], Yoshi cannot defeat foes instantly by merely touching them. There is also no immunity to damage caused by [[Spike (obstacle)|spikes]], [[Lava|lava]], being crushed, touching [[Naval Piranha]] in World 4-S, and [[Pit|bottomless pits]] with the Egg's power, but with certain [[Power Badge (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Power Badge]]s, Yoshi can combine the Egg's power with either immunity to fire and lava or bottomless pits.

The Invincibility Egg is an item found only in Yoshi's Woolly World and its Nintendo 3DS port. It is a Yoshi's Egg with wings that appears when a course starts or when the player reappears starting at a Checkpoint if the player is in Mellow Mode and Winged Yoshi has been defeated at least five times in that course without having left at any point in between. The Egg will vanish if the player switches to Classic Mode, and will not appear if the player then switches back to Mellow Mode, but doing this does not reset the Invincibility Egg's appearance criteria. Once picked up by a Yoshi, and not a yarn ball, Yoshi becomes immune to damage from enemies, signified by Yoshi glowing multiple colors. Yoshi also cannot be eaten by enemies. In Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, a thrown Poochy Pup can collect the Invincibility Egg. In either case, the egg poofs away and the wings fall of the screen. The effects wear off if the player switches to Classic Mode, and do not return if the player then switches again to Mellow Mode. It is similar to the Invincibility Leaf and Golden Flutter Wings. However, the player is not penalized in any way for using an Invincibility Egg, and it can appear in courses that have already been completed.

While Winged Yoshi can no longer take damage, touching enemies and attacks still knocks him back and while stunning him for that animation. Unlike most kinds of invincibility power-ups in the Super Mario franchise, Yoshi cannot defeat foes instantly by touching them. There is also no immunity to being instantly defeated by spikes, lava, being crushed, bottomless pits, and touching Naval Piranha's red circular vines in Naval Piranha 2: Now It's Personal!. The "Immunity to fire and lava!" Power Badge or the "Fall into a pit? No problem!" Power Badge stack with the Invincibility Egg, covering some of the gaps of the latter power up.
