'''''Yoshi's Woolly World''''' is a 2.5D side-scrolling game for the [[Wii U]] by [[Good-Feel]]. It is the fifth [[Yoshi (platform series)|main platform game starring Yoshi]] and the first ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' home console game since ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. The game takes place in a handcrafted universe, similar to the one in ''[[wikirby:Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'', which was also developed by Good-Feel. It follows the adventure of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] trying to pursue and defeat [[Kamek]], who has unwoven their friends and scattered their [[Wonder Wool|materials]] across six worlds. It was originally called '''''Yarn Yoshi'''''.<ref>[http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=194713 Two Zelda Games, Mario, Mario Kart and Other Fan-Favorite Franchises Planned for Wii U | GoNintendo - What are YOU waiting for?]</ref>

Like with most other [[Nintendo 3DS]] and Wii U software titles, this title can be purchased at retail stores or from the [[Nintendo eShop]]. The digital version requires 7991.8 MB (approx. 7.8 GB) of memory to be installed. Due to the software's size, standard set Wii U consoles cannot download it without an external storage device, but Deluxe Wii U consoles can.

''Yoshi's Woolly World'' is a [[Genre#Platformer|platform game]] with textile and fabric environment which plays similarly to ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', with many features coming from these games. With their extensible tongue, Yoshis are able to abduct enemies into his mouth and either eat them or spit them out as projectiles; however, instead of turning them into [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi egg]]s as in earlier games, they turn them into [[yarn ball]]s, which can be thrown just like eggs. They can also be thrown at objects such as platforms and [[Warp Pipe]]s made of strings and needles in order to make them solid. [[Smiley Flower]]s and [[Winged Cloud]]s return and coins are replaced by [[bead]]s. Each level contains 20 [[Stamp Patch]]es, which are hidden inside common-looking [[bead]]s, similarly to the [[Red Coin]]s found in ''Yoshi's Island'' games. When a number of Stamp Patches are collected, the player can recieve a set of [[Stamp]]s. The [[Health Meter]] system returns from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. When the Yoshis are attacked by enemies, their Health Meter decreases and can be replenished with [[heart (item)|Hearts]]. Additionally, the life system from the ''Yoshi's Island'' games is changed; if a Yoshi loses all of the points to its Health Meter, they are simply sent back to either the beginning of the level or the last checkpoint they touched.

[[Bonus Game (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Bonus Game]]s can also be played by Yoshi once a level is completed.


The game features two options for standard gameplay. The first is "Classic Mode", which is the standard gameplay similar to previous ''Yoshi'' platforming games. The second mode is "Mellow Mode". In this mode, Yoshi is [[Winged Yoshi]] and players can fly around freely, providing an easier experience. Players can switch between the two modes at any time via the pause menu.

==Characters==
==Playable characters==
''Yoshi's Woolly World'' supports three game saves. Each is denoted with one of the three [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] colors available as Yarn Yoshi amiibo; green, pink, and light-blue. When the player starts a new game under one the save files, their default Yoshi will be the same color as the save file. Furthermore, copying a file that does not have [[King Bowser's Castle (Yoshi's Woolly World)|King Bowser's Castle]] complete yet to another save slot will change which color of Yoshi is available. Red Yoshi is always available from the start, regardless of the selected save file. The other unobtained Yoshi colors are unlocked after rescuing their yarn from Baby Bowser at the end of the game, or by scanning the Yarn Yoshi amiibo during a course and clearing it (though the second method adds them to the amiibo tent instead). The blue, yellow, orange, purple, black and white colored Yoshis can only be unlocked by completing King Bowser's Castle.

Six of the colors can only be unlocked by completing King Bowser's Castle.
