Wonderful World of Wool is the only level of Craft Island in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, and the final level in the game. It is unlocked after all 270 Smiley Flowers in all other levels are collected, replacing the Big Yarn Ball.
The level spans eight different rooms, the first six of which heavily resemble a world of the game. These segments are placed in the same order as the worlds themselves. While hearts are more accessible than in the other Special Courses, with a Winged Cloud containing some appearing in most sections, there are still no Checkpoints. All of the transitions in this course are one way.
Layout[edit]
The level begins with many windmills, along with a few Shy Guys, Piranha Plants, and Wild Ptooie Piranhas. It leads to a segment with wavy sand dunes and a few Hot Dogs. The next segment consists of rainbow platforms, along with many Hook Guys and Gusties. The segment after that features a raft with Cheep Cheeps, Lunge Fish, and Stalking Piranha Plants. The following segment features an upwards-moving Ice Block platform with Bumpties and more Piranha Plants. The next segment features Poochy moving in lava, along with Kamek and some Spinners. The following segment fires Yoshi up and over the Moon, where the segment after that drops Yoshi through a waterfall and back down to the ground, where Poochy awaits. If Yoshi hits a Winged Cloud while riding Poochy, an arrangement of beads unveils to spell "YOSHI". Afterwards, Yoshi and Poochy reach the Goal Ring.

Notes[edit]
- According to the descriptions of videos uploaded to composer Tomoya Tomita's YouTube channel, many of the tracks that play in Wonderful World of Wool were originally composed for other parts of the game. For example, "Wonderful World of Wool 5" was originally written for Big Montgomery's Bubble Fort;[2] "Wonderful World of Wool 6" was originally written to accompany Sky Pop Yoshi;[3] "Wonderful World of Wool 7" was originally written for Yoshi's Curtain Call;[4] "Wonderful World of Wool 8" was originally written for Miss Cluck the Insincere's Castle.[5] Tomita originally wrote a single bespoke theme for Wonderful World of Wool upon learning about the level's concept, but decided to make use of previously scrapped tracks when he saw the variety of elements in the final version of the level, leaving the original theme unused.[6]
