Proto:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/ys romX 0/Items
This is a sub-page of Proto:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/ys romX 0.
In this build an item can be used by pausing the game, moving the flashing selector using Left or Right, then pressing either A, B, X or Y to use it and unpause the game. In the final version, only A can be pressed to use an item, and B can be used to exit the pause menu.
The player can hold up to 27 items at once, rather than 22 in the final game.

Making the time reach a value of more than 30 seconds doesn't give additional points at the end, but gives Yoshi more time to catch Baby Mario if he separates from him.
+50 Clock
Item ID: 0x02
Adds five seconds (50 tenths of a second) to the timer.

P-Switch

Transforms the coin outlines into true coins and makes the ! Blocks solid in the whole level. Its effect lasts until the level is exited and, as a result, can be used only once per level.

Kamek's Magical Shapes in a Bubble
Item ID: 0x04
Nothing seems to happen when using this item. Hovever, RAM addresses 0x00D44 - 0x00D45 (or 0x00D4B - 0x00D4C in the later prototype) are used in a level to store a decrementing counter (typical for a bonus that expires after a while) that, when set to a non-zero value (e.g. by using the Game Genie code EED0-0F07 for the ys_romX_0 prototype and EED0-07D7 for the ys_rom_0_D one), makes Baby Mario transform into the baby wizard and start throwing these shapes to nearby enemies or objects:
Only some types of enemies are affected as they transform into a melon (that occasionally can be thrown upwards) or an egg and ? Clouds interact with them as well. If an object is not affected, they'll remain floating around it.
