Yoshi's Woolly World[a] is a 2015 platform game developed by Good-Feel and published by Nintendo for the Wii U.

These can support the player during a level, such as granting more powerful attacks, or the ability to recover when falling into bottomless pits.

Finding all the Yarn Bundles within a level unlocks a new pattern of Yoshi, which players can switch to while on the overworld map.

Other compatible figures, such as Mario and Donkey Kong, can be used to unlock additional patterns based on the respective character.

[12][13] The soundtrack was handled by Good-Feel composers Tomoya Tomita (now freelance)[14] and Misaki Asada, with the exception of the main theme, which was written by Nintendo's Kazumi Totaka.

Special editions of the Wii U's version's retail release bundle the game with the knitted Yarn Yoshi Amiibo, which is available in one of three colors; green, blue, and pink.

[46][35] GameSpot's Rob Crossley gave the game a score of 6/10, saying "Some would say that gives Woolly World its inherent accessibility, in that players aren't forced to take the hard road.

"[28] IGN's Daniel Krupa gave the game a moderately positive review, saying: "It's incredibly familiar, but the imaginative and attractive art style makes it feel fresh and appealing.

Cool mechanics are cooked up, but they're dropped into levels which never realise their full potential and fixate more on unearthing frustrating collectibles.

[44] Reviewers applauded the port for being a successful transition of the original game to a handheld, though some complaints were raised over the visual downgrade and lack of local multiplayer, with Whitehead describing it as "certainly a pity if not entirely surprising".

[50] The Nintendo 3DS version of the game sold 80 percent of its initial shipment in Japan,[51] but only entered the UK charts in twentieth place.
