History YMMV / YoshisWoollyWorld

** The crowning achievement of this trope goes to Star-S: Wonderful World of Wool: An AllTheWorldsAreAStage MarathonLevel with once again not a checkpoint in sight. While the secrets aren't too hard to find (and considering how gargantuan this stage is, you'll very likely want to scoop them all up in your first run), the massive number of Piranha Plants and other instant-kill hazards that infest the stage will make short work of you, even if you equip Double Yoshi or use a power-up patch to make yourself immune to bottomless pits or fire/lava. What's that, Piranha Plants killed you in the World 5 section? Back to the World 1 section!

** The 3DS port has made many who don't own a UsefulNotes/WiiU, are excited for the new features, or want to play the game on the go happy; however, it's left a bitter taste in the mouths of some who already own the Wii U version, because the 3DS version appears to be [[PolishedPort superior in every way]] but graphics.

** 5-6: Up Shuttlethread Pass. In this stage, you're constantly shifting between the "front side" and "back side" of the level, not unlike the earlier level Duplicitous Delve. ''Unlike'' in the delve, you can't see between the two sides of the stage. The stage itself is ''heavily'' mazelike, and you'll have to flip between the two sides of the level constantly to progress. Since your perception of the whole stage is mirrored every time you flip size, it's very easy to become disoriented. And since it's a vertical level, accidentally falling can undo ''loads'' of your progress as you must climb back up. The level can easily become a MarathonLevel if you try to sniff out every secret. Perhaps it's not for nothing that this level has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-yoI2pFQRw the quietest and calmest music in the game.]]

* BrokenBase: One side is looking forward to the changes and new potential gameplay options, while others wanted a true sequel to ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' instead. Some of the base is writing off this game for [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks sharing the same yarn concepts]] as ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn''. The final game turned out to play very similarly to Yoshi's Island while still having a charming wool aesthetic, alleviating much of this.

* ItsEasySoItSucks:
** The game has been receiving this complaint even since it was first revealed under the title of ''Yarn Yoshi''. Mind you, ''Yarn Yoshi'' had ''three seconds of footage'', yet people were still complaining because of the development team behind the game. Its similarities to ''Yoshi's Story'' don't do it any favours either. Such criticism about a short amount of footage [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4 can seem familiar...]]
** It seems Nintendo has addressed this complaint, and confirmed that [[http://www.gonintendo.com/s/230952-yoshi-s-woolly-world-will-be-pretty-challenging-says-nintendo the game will get harder as you progress]], and unlike ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' there will be a traditional hit points system in ''Woolly World''. This means it's possible to "die," for lack of a better term; there's no lives system and you'll respawn at the last checkpoint, similar to ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins''. Then the pendulum swung the other way with the addition of [[MercyMode Mellow Mode]]...
** The final game has turned out to live up to Nintendo's promise of being challenging for veterans when you play Classic Mode, especially as you delve into the last couple of worlds, some of the post-credits content, and the [[NintendoHard secret courses]] the game has on offer. [[CheckpointStarvation Checkpoints?]] What are those?

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc3Tf40ZqWk Clawdaddy Beach]] is heavily reminiscent of the beach levels from ''Kirby's Epic Yarn''.

RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Poochy. This time around the dog is more useful compared to its debut, being able to follow your steps from a lower platform and catch unaccesible yarn pieces just like a play of fetch.

** The rematch of Knot-Wing Round 2 is almost impossible to no-damage, as his belly flops come down on you lightning fast, and he's simply too wide to give you much room to avoid them. Clearing the fight is seemingly dependent on just taking the hits in the first two phases and avoiding the one fast belly flop in the final one.
** The rematch of Knot-Wing Round 3 takes the cake, as his only weakness is smacking the tiny cannon on his back with an egg, and he exposes it for the absolute briefest of moments with his increased speed. Unless you've mastered quickly aiming your shots while simultaneously dodging attacks, he's going to wall you out.

** This game came out months ago.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The game was delayed in North America for about 4 months (October 2015) in North America while the rest of the world got it in Summer 2015, with Nintendo of America attempting to HandWave it by saying they don't like releasing games in the summer. [[NeverLiveItDown It didn't work, and the comparatively late American release date is still joked about to this day.]][[/labelnote]]

** 4-S: Naval Piranha 2: Now It's Personal!: While it may not be as tedious as Wollet Bill's Last Ride since the player doesn't have to worry about killing the only thing allowing them to progress, it's yet another Auto-Scrolling Level, this time with an AdvancingBossOfDoom continuously advancing and forcing the player ahead, while there are plenty of Piranha Plants serving as obstacles, with spiky red vines everywhere.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbNiP1ISW7M A trailer]] shows off amiibo functionality with the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', Toad, and Splatoon figures. The crochet doll Yoshis will adopt a pattern related to that character. The results are adorable, although some of the more realistic characters can fall into an UncannyValley.

* UncannyValley: The amiibo "costumes" are basically just textures drawn over the same Yoshi model, and most of the characters don't fit with his body style, making them look...awkward. Even Mario's costume suffers from this!

** 3-S: Woollet Bill's Last Ride. It is an AutoScrollingLevel in the clouds, where a single Woollet Bill leaves a trail of clouds you must run alongside to reach the end, which moves very fast. In addition you have to watch out for endless hazards and keep a good supply of Yarn Balls to collect the 10 main collectables (5 flowers and 5 wonder wools) of the stage. Fall, get crushed, or accidentally kill the Woolly Bill? You're forced to die and start the entire level over, losing everything you grabbed in your previous run. And like the other secret levels, it has [[CheckpointStarvation no checkpoints]]. [[SarcasmMode Good Luck]].

* AwesomeMusic: It's a ''Yoshi'' game developed by Good-Feel; this is only to be expected.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O6fmS4qdcc Lava Scarves and Red Hot Blarggs]]. It's a freakin' ''rock song'' in a ''Yoshi game''. And it's catchy as all hell, to boot.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPUlavFhhKs King Bowser's Castle Halls]] is just amazing.
