Line #19 YMMV/YoshisWoollyWorld


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The game's developed by Creator/GoodFeel; this is only to be expected.
2	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85vfeSrgwFY Yarn Yoshi Takes Shape!]], a laidback song with a "lazy summer day" feeling.
3	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc3Tf40ZqWk Clawdaddy Beach]] is heavily reminiscent of the beach levels from ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'', or the overall soundtrack of ''Super Mario RPG.''
4	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKt7UPlyDo4 Lava Scarves and Red Hot Blarggs]]. ''It's a freakin' rock song in a Yoshi game.'' And it's catchy as all hell, to boot.
5	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbTLNSSMXQM Snifberg the Unfeeling]]. EDM in a ''Yoshi'' game?!
6	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPUlavFhhKs King Bowser's Castle - Halls]] is just amazing.
7	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVl89DJu1Ms The Special Course]] song is beautiful, almost negating the feeling of wanting to [[NintendoHard tear you hair out from frustration]] with the Special Courses.
8	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQfTrf6Cq4U Fluffin' Puffin Babysitting]] is one of the cheeriest songs in the game. It sounds a bit like the "[[TriumphantReprise triumphant]]" song in a musical.
9	* AnticlimaxBoss: The first Baby Bowser phase. Kamek supplies you with plenty of yarn balls in the hallway before, and a large portion of the fight's difficulty is due to yarn ball starvation. [[spoiler: The BossRush version and phase two more than make up for it.]]
10	* CriticalDissonance: While many fans tend to claim ''Woolly World'' as a return to form to the series, approaching the quality of the original SNES title, its critical reception was merely [[https://www.metacritic.com/game/yoshis-woolly-world/ just above average at 78]] on review aggregate websites. Notably, the [[ContestedSequel more contested]] but still well received overall ([[ToughActToFollow just considered inferior to the original]]) DS installment, ''VideoGame/YoshisIslandDS'', got a [[https://www.metacritic.com/game/yoshis-island-ds/ higher score at 81]].
11	* FanNickname:
12	** ''[[VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn Yoshi's Epic Yarn]]'', ''[[VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet Little Big Yoshi]]'' and [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal most popular;]] ''[[AlliterativeTitle Yarn Yoshi]]''.
13	** [[ToiletHumor Yoshi's Wooly Butthole]], courtesy of a RunningGag spawned from the LetsPlay/YoVideogames crew playing on the Wooly World stage in VideoGame/SuperSmashBros.
14	* GeniusBonus: Bunson's name is quite clever. Most will take away the obvious pun (''Bun''son the ''Hotdog''). However, anyone who's studied and worked with chemistry will know the name is fitting in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunsen_burner another way]] as well.
15	* ItsEasySoItSucks: Mellow Mode, which allows the player to fly in levels and bypass every challenges, and even to skip levels altogether. Classic Mode, however, mostly averts this by offering a challenge very similar to the first ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland Yoshi's Island]]'' game, especially as you delve into the last couple of worlds, some of the post-credits content, and the [[NintendoHard secret courses]] the game has on offer and the fact that Mellow Mode is optional and can be switched off to classic mode whenever you want doesn't hurt the game's quality that much. [[CheckpointStarvation Checkpoints?]] What are those?
16	* MemeticMutation:
17	** _____ Yoshi[[labelnote:Explanation]]The [[https://youtu.be/9aqQo-D5TbE American commercial]] has a narrator with a VerbalTic of "Yoshi". Fans took this and ran with it.[[/labelnote]]
18	*** It's a double Yoshi exploshi![[labelnote:Explanation]]Another line from the same commercial. It became a meme due to its inherent absurdity, with many also editing it over animations of two Yoshis exploding [[ExactWords for obvious reasons]].[[/labelnote]]
19	** This game came out months ago.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The game was delayed in North America for about 4 months (October 2015) in North America while the rest of the world got it in Summer 2015, with Nintendo of America attempting to HandWave it [[http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/40657/heres-why-nintendo-doesnt-release-games-in-the-summer by saying they don't like releasing games in the summer.]] [[NeverLiveItDown It didn't work, and the comparatively late American release date is still joked about to this day.]][[/labelnote]]
20	* PolishedPort: The 3DS version is a pretty solid port. Like the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'' port before it, the graphics had to be downgraded, but the game still runs fine and even at 60FPS on a New 3DS, and also even adds extra content not in the Wii U release.
21	* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Poochy. This time around the dog is more useful compared to its debut, being able to follow your steps from a lower platform and catch unaccesible yarn pieces just like a play of fetch.
22	* ScrappyMechanic: The overreliance on [[FakeDifficulty fake walls and hidden flying clouds]] (this one also present in ''VideoGame/YoshisNewIsland'' by the way) make a lot of the collectibles an annoyance to find. While most secrets can be detected and found by investigating a suspicious spot, a few of them are not really hinted by the level design at all, meaning that [[GuidedangIt without a guide in hand]], you'll be at the mercy of dumb luck or TrialAndErrorGameplay in order to get 100%.
23	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong:
24	** The theme for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cq4Sg90UfI Yoshi and Cookies]] sounds suspiciously similar to the theme to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gCHzgqhi2U Flower Fields]] from ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn''. Justified as both games were made by Good-Feel, and both songs were composed by Tomoya Tomita.
25	** The backing track to "Shy but Deadly" is quite similar to "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". So much so that there's a mashup for it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU1pFl20eoc here]], as well as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5djgPq2Y5Nc another]] on Music/SiIvaGunner alongside Music/TheBeatles' "Revolution".
26	* SurpriseDifficulty: Just like ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn'', the game's later levels can be a stark contrast with the adorable aesthetics.
27	* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: After lukewarm game ''VideoGame/YoshisNewIsland'', many Yoshi fans consider this game to be as good as prior main Yoshi games, on account of its polished level design, co-op multiplayer, emphasis on Poochy and more accessible difficulty than the previously mentioned games.
28	* SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel:
29	** You thought yarn Kirby was cute? Say hello to [[http://i.imgur.com/2XI7p8R.png crochet doll Yoshi!]]
30	** Even more adorable is the E3 interview where both leads of Good-Feel and creator of Yoshi show off their own crochet doll Yoshis. Now, with the introduction of Yarn Yoshi Toys/{{amiibo}}, you can have one too!
31	*** They even released a special giant Yarn Yoshi which is about the same size as most plush bears or similar, and just as cuddly.
32	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbNiP1ISW7M A trailer]] shows off amiibo functionality with the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', Toad, and Splatoon figures. The crochet doll Yoshis will adopt a pattern related to that character. The results are adorable.
33	** You know a game is adorable when even ''Bowser'' is cute. Baby Bowser has long been beady-eyed and after some ArtEvolution is almost indistinguishable from Bowser Junior, but this game makes him out of yarn and gives him nubby little arms with no hands. Watching him hang off his curtains and bounce around his room is delightful. [[spoiler: He does get actual fingers with claws when he's [[OneWingedAngel mega-sized]].]]
34	** The 3DS port adds to the already adorable yarn Yoshi toy with a yarn Poochy.
35	** Also from the 3DS version, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o6yvb5E2Sw the stop-motion shorts]] are ''insanely'' adorable.
36	* ThatOneLevel:
37	** 5-6: Up Shuttlethread Pass. In this stage, you're constantly shifting between the "front side" and "back side" of the level, not unlike the earlier level Duplicitous Delve. ''Unlike'' in the delve, you can't see between the two sides of the stage. The stage itself is ''heavily'' mazelike, and you'll have to flip between the two sides of the level constantly to progress. Since your perception of the whole stage is mirrored every time you flip sides, it's very easy to become disoriented. And since it's a vertical level, accidentally falling can undo ''loads'' of your progress as you must climb back up. The level can easily become a MarathonLevel if you try to sniff out every secret. Perhaps it's not for nothing that this level has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-yoI2pFQRw the quietest and calmest music in the game.]]
38	** 5-8: Snifberg the Unfeeling's Castle. Almost the entirety of the stage is covered in FrictionlessIce, and it's filled to the brim with ice blocks that slowly roll on an axis like the giant blocks in Shifting Sand Land. Expect countless deaths from getting pinched by one as it rolls over while you're trying to get out of its way. Then they become enormous and then they roll ''fast'' into the foreground in such a way it's difficult to judge their depth. The collectibles aren't easy to reach, either. At least the boss isn't that bad once you figure out his weakness.
39	* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: They made sure to make the yarn look like actual yarn, and it looks amazing. Heck, there are even those tiny fibers that stick out of yarn all about the Yoshis.
40	* WinBackTheCrowd: After the middling-to-hostile reception towards ''VideoGame/YoshisNewIsland'', ''Yoshi's Woolly World'' was praised as a much-needed return to form for the series.
