History VideoGame / YoshisWoollyWorld

This game is expected to hit store shelves (and the WiiU [=eShop=]) in late Summer 2015, with a Japanese release on July 16th, a North American release on October 16th, a European release on June 26th, and an Australian release on June 25th. Watch the trailer [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBmNoNw7bZQ here]]. The game is confirmed to have Toys/{{amiibo}} functionality, compatible with Yoshi's figurines as well as a set of unique plush doll amiibo. Scanning these figures will allow you to create another Yoshi, which acts similarly to a second player. In addition, over 30 additional amiibo can be scanned in to unlock [[AndYourRewardIsClothes themed patterns]] for Yoshi based on that character.

** Using a regular Yoshi figure will unlock a plastic, glossy Yoshi. It really sticks out compared to the yarn-knitted style of the rest of the game.

* ArtShift: Design for the game varied wildly in production. The first idea was a sequin Yoshi, followed by a yarn outline form. Then this was changed so Yoshi switches between two forms, a yarn outline form and a full 3D model when he eats an enemy that glows green. The final version of the game has everything perpetually in fully knitted 3D models.

Kamek, up to his nasty tricks again, has transformed most of the Yoshis into inanimate Wonder Wool and scattered them across the land. It's up to Yoshi (and [[ColorCodedMultiplayer Red Yoshi]], if you're playing co-op) to journey across [[SceneryPorn gorgeous landscapes]] made of cloth and yarn and retrieve the Wonder Wool. Several classic elements from Yoshi's previous adventures return, such as Chomp Rocks, Shy Guys, Huffin' Puffins, and clouds that burst open and spill goodies if Yoshi shoots a projectile at them. Instead of turning enemies into eggs, Yoshi can swallow bits of yarn from the environment to turn them into yarn balls. Yarn balls have multiple purposes; they can be used to uncover secrets, "knit" new platforms, and tangle up enemies to expose them for a good [[GoombaStomp jump attack.]]

* BigBad: Surprisngly, not Baby Bowser, but rather [[TheDragon Kamek]].

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Bordering on being a {{Feelie|s}}, ''Woolly World'' has Amiibo support that enables a second Yoshi to join you during gameplay (basically creating a single-player version of a two-player game). The "ridiculously cute" part? The Amiibo figures are not plastic but ''[[http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/14/1427970179-yoshis-woolly-world-amiibos.jpg yarn]]'', just like the Yoshis in game. Many media outlets have called these the most adorable Amiibos ever released.
** Poochy is also at his cutest in this game.

* PreciousPuppy: Besides Poochie, who even appears on the cover, there's also a fiery puppy boss. Said boss is at least ten times larger than Yoshi himself.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: "Mellow Mode", which gives Yoshi a set of wings that he can use to fly through a stage and avoid a lot of obstacles he'd have to deal with if he were on the ground. Mellow Mode can be switched on at the player's whim in order to get them through sticky situations that they're having trouble with in Classic Mode.

* MercyMode: In Mellow Mode, you play as Winged Yoshi, which allows lesser-skilled players to pass through tough levels. Unlike other Nintendo games, Mellow Mode can be accessed at any time through the pause menu, and there's no punishment for doing so.

In your journey, you're offered two modes for play; Classic Mode and Mellow Mode. In Classic Mode, you play through yarn-filled worlds as you would a typical platformer, collecting Wonder Wool, beads, and other goodies along the way. Mellow Mode is similar, but allows you to play as Winged Yoshi. Winged Yoshi can indefinitely flutter, allowing casual players to breeze their way through tougher stages. Either mode can be accessed at any time while the game is paused.

''Yoshi's Woolly World'' is a {{platform game}} for the WiiU, created by Good-Feel and starring Yoshi. Surprisingly, it's also the first home console Yoshi game since ''VideoGame/YoshisStory'' (for the {{Nintendo 64}}) in 1997. Its gameplay is highly reminiscent of ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' and ''Story,'' but the game is also a spiritual successor to ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn,'' a Good-Feel game for the {{Wii}} that shares the arts-and-crafts aesthetic.

Yoshi (and [[ColorCodedMultiplayer Red Yoshi]], if you're playing co-op,) journey across [[SceneryPorn gorgeous landscapes]] made of cloth and yarn. Several classic elements from Yoshi's previous adventures return, such as Chomp Rocks, Shy Guys, Huffin' Puffins, and clouds that burst open and spill goodies if Yoshi shoots a projectile at them. Curiously, Yoshi can no longer turn enemies into eggs, but instead into yarn balls; yarn balls don't bounce and can't directly defeat enemies, but they ''can'' tangle up the bad guys, leaving them open to a good [[GoombaStomp jump attack.]]

Winged Yoshi can indefinitely flutter, allowing you to bypass obstacles and allowing casual players to breeze their way through tougher stages. Either mode can be accessed at any time while the game is paused.

* AllClothUnravels: Yoshi can use his tongue to tug on loose threads and radically alter his environment. Inversely, he can use his yarn balls to "knit" additional platforms onto the stage, to climb sheer cliffs for example, as seen in the trailer.

* PreciousPuppy: One of the bosses from the trailer is a fiery puppy at least ten times larger than the Yoshi itself.
* SceneryPorn: Definitely one of the most visually gorgeous {{Nintendo}} games to date, as it expands on the ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' art style by adding a dynamic camera and fully rendered 3D environments. And it's in HD.

This game is expected to hit store shelves (and the WiiU eShop) in 2015. Watch the trailer [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBmNoNw7bZQ here]]. The game is confirmed to have Amiibo functionality, compatible with Yoshi's figurine for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U''.

* CoOpMultiplayer: The Green and Red Yoshis can actually eat and turn one another into balls of yarn. You can actually toss your partner in any direction to help them reach hidden areas. Think of it as a more versatile version of a similar mechanic from ''[[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry3DixieKongsDoubleTrouble 3.]]'' Unfortunately (or not), it also lends itself to [[{{Griefer}} griefing]].

* BadassAdorable: Yoshi's even more of one than usual, being a crochet doll and all.
