Unlike the previous game, the game adopts a hand-crafted art style, with every level being made to have a "theme of things crafted in kindergarten."<ref name="interview">April 27, 2019.

==Gameplay==

Like ''Yoshi's Woolly World'', Yoshi has a health meter that can be replenished by [[heart (item)|heart]]s, up to 20. These can be obtained by hitting certain [[Winged Cloud]]s, reaching [[Check Point (Yoshi's Crafted World)|Check Point]]s, or hitting [[Roulette Block]]s at the right time. Costumes can also be applied to Yoshi which allow him to take extra hits based on the costume's rarity (three for Common, four for Rare, and five for Super Rare/amiibo). These extra hits are replenished upon reaching a checkpoint, but if enough hits are taken, the costume is irreversibly destroyed for the rest of the level (though the costume can be reapplied from the World Map).

This is the first ''Yoshi'' game without the game files option at the start.

===Flip side===

Each level (aside from boss fights and the levels in Hidden Hills) provide access to both the "front side" and the "flip side." The flip side gives a look at levels from the backside, often showing off how certain contraptions within the levels work, emphasizing the hand-crafted feel. The flip side can only be accessed upon beating the corresponding front side, and only after [[Poochy's Tape Trail]] has been completed.

Two players are able to play the entire game together, each one being a differently colored Yoshi. Each player can also choose their own costume and control options from the menu.

==Worlds and courses==

A few courses in the game are scoring-based challenges in timed or auto-scrolling settings, with the player's final score translating into an amount of [[Smiley Flower]]s as a reward. These levels are marked below with an arrow (▷).

==Critical reception==

''Yoshi's Crafted World'' has received generally positive reviews. Critics have praised the game's aesthetic and number of collectibles, but the difficulty and repetitive music have been criticized<ref name=GameXplain> GameXplain. (March 27, 2019).

|Release

|"''Yoshi's Crafted World is at its best when it's relaxing and pleasant. The 2D-to-3D level design keeps you curious while the go-at-your-own-pace approach keeps the pressure off and leaves you to appreciate the small, imaginative details. Its most interesting ideas never evolve past their first introductions and are frequently confined to one or two levels, but individually, those levels both reward your curiosity and your willingness to slow down and look at what's around you--and it's those simple pleasures that provide the most joy.''"
