History VideoGame / YoshisWoollyWorld

* MercyMode: In Mellow Mode, you play as a Yoshi equipped with ''New Island''[='=]s Flutter Wings. Yoshi also starts out with a full 20 hearts, and heart-giving clouds release ten hearts instead of five. Additionally, dying enough times with these wings will prompt a rainbow egg to fly in the instant Yoshi respawns; touching it gives permanent invincibility to enemy damage.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Scanning in a regular Yoshi amiibo unlocks a plastic, glossy Yoshi costume. It really sticks out compared to the yarn-knitted style of the rest of the game.

''Yoshi's Woolly World'' is a {{platform game}} for the UsefulNotes/WiiU, developed by Good-Feel and starring Yoshi. Surprisingly, it's also the first home console Yoshi game since ''VideoGame/YoshisStory'' (for the UsefulNotes/{{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 UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} that shares the arts-and-crafts aesthetic.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Flowers, Wonder Wool, heart count, and Miiverse Stamps only need to be collected once and stay unlocked for good once you finish a course with them in your possession, making HundredPercentCompletion less frustrating. In previous games, all items had to be collected in one run to count for completion.

* BeserkButton: Don't steal Poochy's strawberry!

* CoOpMultiplayer: Supported with up to two players; both players can eat and turn one another into balls of yarn. You can actually toss your partner in any direction to help them reach hidden areas, but it also lends itself to [[{{Griefer}} griefing]]. The functionality is replicated with Yoshi amiibo, which lets you control two Yoshi's simultaneously .

** World 6-6 is called "Feel Fuzzy, Get Clingy", a pretty obvious reference to the infamous YoshisIsland level, "Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy".

A 3DS version of the game named ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World'' was announced on September 1, 2016 for release on February 2, 2017. This version includes new exclusive levels with Poochy along with the ability to summon Poochy-Pups to help out in a stage and find hidden secrets. This version also features creating custom designs for Yoshi, and Yoshi Theater which features 30 stop-motion shorts starring Yoshi and his buddy Poochy. The game is also bundled with a new yarn Poochy amiibo.

* ConsoleCameo: The Wonder Wool in the six secret stages unlock Yoshi themed after Nintendo's consoles in descending order, starting with a pattern themed after the Wii U and ending with a pattern themed after the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem.

* WheelOFeet: Yoshi’s feet literally turn into little wheels when he runs (and into a propeller when he hovers, like an upside-down [[NewspaperComics/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy]]). This is also reminiscent of ''Kirby's Epic Yarn,'' as Kirby transforms into a car if he runs.

The game hit store shelves (and the UsefulNotes/WiiU [=eShop=]) in the second half of 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]]. Toys/{{amiibo}} functionality is also included; the game is 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, all other amiibo ([[ScrewedByTheLawyers except]] the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' ones) can be scanned in to unlock [[AndYourRewardIsClothes themed patterns]] for Yoshi based on that character.

** A DummiedOut test level involves a small Yoshi made of yarn running across a non-yarn Japanese girl's room.

** There's a type of enemy that is literally a round baby chick. A enlarged one is the 3rd boss, Miss Cluck, and it's still adorable.

* AdorableEvilMinions: Everything you can kill in this game is adorable to some extent thanks to the yarn aesthetic.
