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.
