Play Overview
Yoshi's Woolly World (2015) is a running and jumping game where you play a character in a world made of wool and other craft materials. You explore, jump and run your way around, solving puzzles and collecting items to complete each stage. It stands out for its welcoming play style and endearing ways to interact with the world - like pulling apart stitching or hiding behind fabric.
The villain Magikoopa Kamek turns all the Yoshis into bundles of yarn for his master Baby Bowser and scatters them across all the worlds. Players control the two Yoshis that manage to avoid being transformed and set off to rescue their woolly friends.
Yoshi now creates and throws yarn balls that he can use to clear blocked paths, tangle up enemies, or knit together platforms and warp pipes. Players can tug at stray yarn to unravel walls, reveal hard-to-reach areas and possibly find hidden collectibles.
The 3DS/2DS game is called Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World and adds some additional levels and the Poochy side-kick, but it is only single-player. The 3DS game offers enhanced assistance for young players as well as a Yoshi designer where you can draw your own colours and patterns on your character.
