Arrow wheel
It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: include Yoshi's Woolly World information
Arrow wheels[1] (also known as spinning wheels[2] and Arrow Lifts[3]) are objects found in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Yoshi's Island DS, Yoshi's New Island, Yoshi's Woolly World, and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. They appear as round objects with arrows on them that are always spinning. If a Yoshi jumps on one, the arrow wheel will move in the direction the arrow is pointing. However, it can change its direction if the Yoshi jumps on it again or if the object hits a surface. Arrow wheels can also be grabbed with the Yoshi's tongue and spat out. Arrow wheels come in two colors: tan, which is the most common, and blue. The difference between these two types of arrow wheels are that the blue arrow wheels disappear if a Yoshi jumps off one and does not ride it again for a while, returning to its original position. The only way to prevent its disappearance is to grab it with the Yoshi's tongue and spit it out. If he brings one close to the goal ring and he jumps through it, the arrow wheel will turn into beads. Arrow wheels first appear in the level Salvo The Slime's Castle and are mainly found within the various castles and fortresses across Yoshi's Island.

If you jump, the wheel will begin spinning again. Tap the B Button slightly to control your direction. Brown spinning wheels keep you aloft as long as you want, but blue ones disintegrate after a brief period of time. Yoshi can grab and hold a spinning wheel in his mouth, then spit it out elsewhere."
