Yoshi's Woolly World is a dyed-in-the-wool platformer that's bursting with colour and texture, only on Wii U. Explore a material world with Yoshi, who this time is made entirely of wool! Use Yoshi's trademark abilities to unravel all sorts of secrets and track down collectibles: unthread walls with a flick of Yoshi's tongue, throw Yarn Balls to knit in new platforms and Flutter Jump to areas that seem just out of reach. Trouble is looming on Craft Island! On their island paradise, located in the middle of Handmade Ocean, the Yoshi clan is enjoying yet another day of relaxation and fun… until that naughty knitwit Kamek shows up on the scene! The dastardly baddie uses his magic to turn most of the Yoshis into yarn, but a couple of them pull the wool over his eyes and chase him off before he does any more damage. The remaining Yoshis knit together and set off to rescue their friends! Despite the woolly new form, Yoshi's got a whole knitting kit full of tricks, including signature moves like gobbling up enemies, Flutter Jumping to reach high platforms and throwing items to defeat enemies or open up new paths – except in this adventure Yoshi lobs Yarn Balls, not eggs! Swallow enemies, untie knots or hit Yarn Baskets to get Yarn Balls, then hurl them at enemies and switches to move forward. They can even be used to knit in new platforms if you see an outline! Yoshi can also twist into a variety of forms, such as motorbikes, aeroplanes and moles, to navigate different areas. Team up and enjoy the adventure together in two-player local co-operative multiplayer. Enjoy a traditional Yoshi experience with Classic Mode, or play without pressure in Mellow Mode. You can use amiibo to unlock new Yoshi patterns based on other characters, or play with two Yoshis at the same time!
