History VideoGame / YoshisWoollyWorld

* TheUnfought: Kamek, as usual. At least not directly, but he will assist some of Baby Bowser's attacks in the final battle. He also swoops in for aerial attacks in World 6-7, and this time you can smack him off his broom if you so desire.

''Yoshi's Woolly World'' is a {{platform game}} in the ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' series for the UsefulNotes/WiiU, developed by Creator/GoodFeel and starring Yoshi. While its gameplay is in line with other entries in the series, it is also considered a spiritual successor to ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn'', a spin-off title in the ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' series that was likewise developed by Good-Feel and to which ''Woolly World'' owes its arts-and-crafts aesthetic.

The game hit store shelves (and the UsefulNotes/WiiU [=eShop=]) in the second half of 2015, with a Japanese release on July 16th, a North American release on October 16th, a European release on June 26th, and an Australian release on June 25th. Watch the trailer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBmNoNw7bZQ here]]. Toys/{{amiibo}} functionality is also included; the game is compatible with Yoshi's figurines as well as a set of unique plush doll amiibo. Scanning these figures will allow you to create another Yoshi, which acts similarly to a second player. In addition, all other amiibo (except the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' ones) can be scanned in to unlock [[AndYourRewardIsClothes themed patterns]] for Yoshi based on that character.

A 3DS version of the game named ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World'' was announced on September 1, 2016 for release on February 2, 2017. This version includes new exclusive levels with Poochy along with the ability to summon Poochy-Pups to help out in a stage and find hidden secrets. This version also features creating custom designs for Yoshi, and Yoshi Theater which features 30 stop-motion shorts starring Yoshi and his buddy Poochy. The game is also bundled with a new yarn Poochy amiibo. A sequel for UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch featuring a more general arts-and-crafts aesthetic, ''VideoGame/YoshisCraftedWorld'', was later announced at [=E3 2017=].

* SceneryPorn: Definitely one of the most visually gorgeous Creator/{{Nintendo}} games to date, as it expands on the ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' art style by adding a dynamic camera and fully rendered 3D environments. Even the UsefulNotes/3DS version looks gorgeous, especially with it's clever use of 3D foreground objects in certain stages. The improved hardware power of the UsefulNotes/WiiU definitely helps.

''Yoshi's Woolly World'' is a {{platform game}} in the ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' series for the UsefulNotes/WiiU, developed by Good-Feel and starring Yoshi. Surprisingly, it's also the first home console Yoshi game since ''VideoGame/YoshisStory'' (for the Platform/{{Nintendo 64}}) in 1997. Its gameplay is highly reminiscent of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland'' and ''Story,'' but the game is also a spiritual successor to ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn,'' a Good-Feel game for the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} that shares the arts-and-crafts aesthetic.

* BigBad: Unsurprisingly, Baby Bowser is the villain again, with [[TheHeavy Kamek]] being the antagonist for most of the story.

** The Wonder Wool in the six secret stages unlock Yoshi themed after Nintendo's consoles in descending order, starting with a pattern themed after the Wii U and ending with a pattern themed after the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem.

* EarlyBirdCameo: A stage based off this game is featured in the earlier release ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros for Wii U''.

** One of the shorts in the 3DS version has Yoshi and Poochy play the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' on a New 3DS, according to the sound effects. They [[EpicFail somehow]] manage to get a GameOver on the first stage after already collecting a 1-Up.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To both ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn'' and ''VideoGame/YoshisStory''. Also plays very much like the original Yoshi's Island despite not having "island" in the name.

* SurpriseCreepy: [[spoiler: Turns out the reason why Baby Bowser had Kamek turn most of the Yoshis into Wonder Wool was so he could use that Wonder Wool to make a brand new castle. That's basically ''building something out of human bodies!]].

* CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption: 3-5: Fluffin' Puffin Babysitting has this in spades. The central mechanic of the level and the only way to traverse it revolves around picking up and throwing small baby puffins that leave behind cloud trails that you can walk across. You get the baby puffins by stealing them from a nest or even worse, killing a mother puffin who's leading her children across the level.

* ExcusePlot: No grand setup here. Kamek just says "Hey, li'l Yoshis, I need to turn you all into yarn!" and then you're off to the races.

* ArtShift:
** Design for the game varied wildly in production. The first idea was a sequin Yoshi, followed by a yarn outline form. Then this was changed so Yoshi switches between two forms, a yarn outline form and a full 3D model when he eats an enemy that glows green. The final version of the game has everything perpetually in fully knitted 3D models.
** A DummiedOut [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvA6XPVm_xk test level]] involves a small Yoshi made of yarn running across a non-yarn Japanese girl's room.

* JungleJapes: World 4

* LevelAte: World 3.

* ShiftingSandLand: World 2.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: World 5

** 5-6 features Velcro-covered conveyor belts that Yoshi sticks to.
