Three-dimensional platformer for the whole family developed by Nintendo. Yoshi’s Wooly World is set in a world made of yarn. We play as the titular green dinosaur Yoshi, one of the main mascots of the Japanese company; the game expands on concept of Kirby’s Epic Yarn. We received a classic platformer in 2.5D, in which our hero is followed by running eggs, which can be shot at various targets or parts of scenery.

Yoshi’s Wooly World for WiiU and 3DS is a three-dimensional, family friendly platformer set in a world made of yarn. It has been announced in 2014 for Wii U during E3 2014 by Nintendo and debuted a year later, with its 3DS port being revealed at Nintendo direct event in September. In Yoshi’s Wooly World, we play as titular, green dinosaur Yoshi, one of the best known mascots of the Japanese company, appearing in countless titles of the producer and even in a few games of his own. In case of 3DS version, creators prepared new levels that were not present in original Wii U release. They introduce players to a new hero, a dog named Poochy.

Game mechanics

Yoshi’s Wooly World expands on concept first seen in Kirby’s Epic Yarn, which debuted on Wii U in 2010. Many of its features are based on Yoshi’s Island series, with the game being a classic 2.5D platformer. The main hero is followed by eggs, which can be thrown at chosen targets or surrounding objects. Thanks to the whole world being made of yarn, we can rip some parts of it to uncover new paths and secrets. The title offers cooperation mode for two players, offering more ways of playing it.
