Collectibles

Flowers

The Flowers are a collectible within Yoshi's Island, there being five within each level. They can be collected by touch or by contact with a thrown egg or spat enemy. In 100% Format, all five Flowers must be collected, netting a player 50 total points on the end of level "Score" screen, plus an extra life. In Any% Format however, one should avoid Flowers due to them being able to trigger a somewhat lengthy Bonus Challenge via the Goal Roulette.

Red Coins

A longstanding feature of the Mario franchise is the Red Coin. In Yoshi's Island, Red Coins are disguised as normal, yellow ones. However, Red Coins, while disguised, have a slightly red tint. Red Coins are also slightly larger than the yellow counterpart, allowing for easy collection. There are 20 Red Coins in each level of the game. In 100% Format, all must be collected, gaining 20 points toward the total score of 100. In Any% Format, it is best to avoid these, as their listing in the Score Screen takes a few frames.
