Yoshi's Woolly World is a 2.5D platforming game in the Yoshi series and released for the Wii U. Developed by Good-Feel, the game has a similar presentation to their previous work, Kirby's Epic Yarn, with the characters and world taking the appearance of yarn and fabric. The game was originally revealed in a 2013 Nintendo Direct under the name Yarn Yoshi before it was re-revealed at E3 2014 with its current title.
At retail, a bundle has been released that contains the game and a Green Yarn Yoshi amiibo.

Gameplay
Yoshi's Woolly World plays mostly similarly to previous Yoshi platforming games, while also drawing elements from Kirby's Epic Yarn. Yoshi can swallow enemies with his tongue, and can now also swallow select parts of the environment to reveal hidden passages, though when he swallows Yoshi lays a ball of yarn rather than an egg; with these yarn balls Yoshi can attack enemies by throwing them like eggs in previous games, and can use them to fill in parts of the environment or attack. Yohsi's other moves also return and function in a similar capacity, as does the transformation system. Also like with Kirby's Epic Yarn, this game supports two-player local co-op.
Rather than have a no-death system like with Epic Yarn, Yoshi's Woolly World makes use of a health meter similar to Yoshi's Story, which depletes each time Yoshi takes a hit and can be replenished by collecting hearts. Players can also swap the difficulty at any point between "Classic Mode", the standard gameplay, and "Mellow Mode", a mode in which Yoshi can freely fly with a pair of wings to give players a less difficult experience.
The beads from Kirby's Epic Yarn also appear in this game, and once again act as a currency, allowing Yoshi to buy Power Badges which give the player a specific ability that can be used in that level. In each level there are five Flowers like with previous games, though there are now 20 Stamp Patches hidden in every level, similar to the Red Coins in past games, which give Yoshi a stamp once he collects them all, and 5 Wonder Wools, which unlock a new Yoshi color that the player can use when they're all collected.
