Variant of POW Block

An Anywhere POW[1][2] is an item in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. It is a Special Item resembling a POW Block, and using it from the pause screen causes a shockwave that turns all onscreen enemies into Stars (coins in the GBA reissue), including airborne enemies, unlike regular POW Blocks in other Super Mario games. If properly timed, using an Anywhere POW can cause a Fly Guy to drop an item it is carrying. This item can be acquired only in Bonus Challenges.
