An expanded game of Yoshi's Woolly World
Discover a handicraft world bursting at the seams with creativity, as you guide Yarn Yoshi or Yarn Poochy through clever side-scrolling stages. Unravel secrets, toss yarn to weave platforms, and power up with woolly transformations. All stages from the Wii U version are joined by new ones starring Poochy and more Nintendo 3DS exclusive features! It's a mad dash for beads in new Poochy stages: dodge stumps, mush down snowy paths, chase Lakitu, and unearth hidden paths and items. Sniffing out secrets is always a charm in Mellow Mode, thanks to the curious Poochy Pups. As you find collectables, you'll unlock rewards, from extra stages to new Patterned Yoshi. You can also design and play as your very own Yarn Yoshi, or share it with friends via the StreetPass function! When you want a break from exploring, peek into the lives of Yarn Poochy and Yarn Yoshi in 30 hilarious stop-motion shorts. It's time to get crafty!

It's a shame too, because if I ignore my childhood nostalgia for Yoshi's Story, this might be my second favorite Yoshi title behind the eternally beloved Yoshi's Island. After all these years, they finally rediscovered the secret sauce for making another good Yoshi's Island title - complete with a great soundtrack, as if in apology for the auditory crimes committed by New Island - only for Nintendo to say "yeah I'm sure the 3DS and the Switch can coexist without any sales repercussions" and doom this game to obscurity.
They even changed the way items are collected in this game! You don't have to gather everything in one run to count for 100% completion! Now I don't feel like I HAVE to spend forever combing through every corner in every level and find every little stamp to make sure my playthrough "counts"!
This game deserved better. Yarn Yoshi deserved better. My custom-made Rayman Yoshi (whom I've named Ray-Yoshi) and my custom-made Banjo-Kazooie Yoshi (dubbed Banyo-Kazoshi) deserved better.
And Poochy, especially, deserved better, even if don't want to ask the uncomfortable question of where the Poochy Pups came from if there only seems to be one Poochy. (although I guess Yarn Stork brought them. maybe.)
and I gained some respect for the game as it went on, because damn they really do have a unique theme and gimmick for every single level. that's really cool. and compared to NSMB2 on the 3DS, this game is way more complex and the mechanics are more fun. It has more controls than just run + jump :P
But overall this is still kinda mid and eh it's just a mindless background game.
also this is my third time writing this because my PC keeps crashing uh oh
