Winged Clouds,[1] or Question Mark Clouds,[2] are objects in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (and its GBA reissue), Yoshi's Island DS, and Yoshi's New Island. They appear in nearly every level, and when a Yoshi hits a Winged Cloud with any projectile, such as a Yoshi's Egg, it disappears and reveals its contents or triggers an effect. Winged Clouds can contain objects such as flowers, five stars, extra lives, and ! Switches, but they sometimes also create stairs or bridges or make coins appear instead of revealing an item. There are Winged Clouds that contain even Bandits. When being hit, a Bandit pops out and chases a Yoshi around to steal Baby Mario. Due to their function, Winged Clouds are considered Yoshi's Island's equivalent to ? Blocks. There also exists a Special Item in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island called a Winged Cloud Maker, which turns enemies into Winged Clouds.

Winged Clouds reappear in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. acting the same as in previous games. They can be found hanging from strings in Lair of the Smooch Spiders, thus appearing without their wings.

Yoshi's Crafted World also has Winged Clouds, which act the same as they do in previous games. There is a Time Cloud variant that flips the stage when hit.

Winged Clouds appear in volume 14 of Super Mario-kun, also providing items when they are hit, such as a blue watermelon. Unlike in the games, however, Yoshi does not need to hit them with an egg to make them spawn items.

A Winged Cloud appears in the Yoshi's Island course, which appears in the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and in Mario Kart Tour. Racers can hit the Winged Cloud while gliding to temporarily pop it, causing a bridge to appear. Hitting it in Mario Kart Tour also grants bonus points.
