Yoshi's Woolly World is a Wii U game by Good-Feel Co. (Kirby's Epic Yarn, Streetpass games, Wario Land: Shake It!). It's essentially a Yoshi series platformer game where everything in the game world is made of wool and other fabrics! Nice!!!

Woolly World is a platform game in which the player assumes the role of Yoshi. Similar to developer Good-Feel's Kirby's Epic Yarn, the game is set in a world where the characters and environment are composed of yarn and cloth. Yoshi retains much of his moveset from the Yoshi's Island series of games, including using his tongue to swallow enemies and using his flutter jump to reach hard areas, and many elements such as flowers and mystery clouds return. However, unlike other games where swallowing enemies would produce eggs which Yoshi could then throw, Yoshi instead produces balls of yarn. These yarn balls have various uses when thrown, such as tying up enemies or filling in certain platforms and objects. Players can also gather white chicks, which produce temporary cloud platforms when thrown. The game also supports up to two players cooperatively, with players able to swallow and throw their partners, allowing them to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. In addition, Yoshi will be able to progress through the game by utilizing woolen transformations,[4] such as turning his legs into wheels.[citation needed]

FAQ
Q: Does it have off-screen play?
A: Yes

Q: Can I play with my Pro Controller / Classic Controller / Wiimote?!
A: Yes

Q: What kind of challenges does the game offer?
A: There are four stars for every level - finishing with no damage, collecting all the yarn, collecting all the flowers and collecting all the Miiverse stamp points. Collecting all the yarn unlocks new Yoshis. Collecting all the flowers in a World unlocks a bonus level.

A: Yep! Similar to 3D World, players wander the hub giving their hot Miiverse takes and you can see Miiverse posts about each level as the game loads in/out.

Q: Is there co-op?
A: Yes and it's pretty fun

Q: Is there online play?
A: Of course not

Q: This game is way too hard! Is there an easy mode?
A: Yes, it's called Mellow Mode and it lets you fly around the level with a pair of Yoshi wings. If you're still loving up some how, the game also gives you an invincibility egg after X number of deaths.

Q: This game is way too easy! Is there a hard mode?
A: Chill the gently caress out man

amiibo
In Woolly World, all Yoshi amiibos unlock a helper partner that controls like Double Cherry Mario from 3D World. It's kinda stupid and doesn't really help you in any way! Cool! All other (non-Pokemon) amiibo unlock character-themed patterns for Yoshi. You can save your favourite pattern to your Yarn Yoshi amiibos if you want too?? Cute/horrific!

Oh hell yeah!!!! I can't wait to play this in NA. How is it to those who have already got their hands on it? I'm a huge fan of Island but none of the sequels have ever grabbed me, but this looks great.
It plays a lot like Island and Story with a few yarn-based gimmicks thrown in. The transformations are cool. The visuals and music make it incredibly enjoyable. It's the embodiment of a Chill Game.
