It's funny/sad that they decided to make this game an early 2017 3DS game and not wait two more measly months and instead make the version with the stop-motion theater shorts, Poochy auto-running levels, and the create-a-Yoshi customization a Switch launch title instead. Now Yoshi's Woolly World both feels underappreciated and exists in this weird limbo where I can't consider either version "definitive" because one version lacks content and the other one doesn't have the cute HD yarn graphics.

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 and various releases of varying quality, 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 doomed this game to obscurity two separate times.

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.)

Um bom jogo, muito bonito e criativo uma sequência melhor e mais digna ao yoshy island. O jogo não é tão fácil quanto pode aparentar, se vc apenas quiser completar o level provavelmente fará sem dificuldade, mas se vc quiser coletar todos os colecionáveis que Deus te ajude.
Eu apenas exigi de mim mesmo coletar os girassóis e os novelos de lã que desbloqueam fases extras e novos yoshis jogáveis, e quase fiquei loco, acho que levou mais de um ano pra concluir esse jogo, com pausas de messes sem jogar é claro. Uma coisa que eu não gostei foi as músicas, mas acho que elas não são ruins, apenas não é o meu gosto, mas me irritaram e me deixavam enjoado de ouvi-las toda hora, tive a sensação que elas se repetiam várias vezes em fases diferentes. Um dia gostaria de jogar a versão de wii u que é mais bonita em HD e o jogo parece ter sido inteiramente tricotado com os fiozinhos aparecendo e etc. Enquanto que o de 3ds só parece uma textura de lã, mas o jogo continua tão bom e bonito quanto o de wii u.

i thought this game was boring and slow but when I started speeding through levels I had more fun with it. the beginning levels took me so long to beat because there are FOUR different types of collectibles so I spent agessssss on each level looking for them. but I gave up and then it became more fun.

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

This game is actually a lot of fun, once you get past how bs it is to actually complete it. If you're like me (deranged) and like to play through every Yoshi game trying to get 100%, you will drive yourself mad with how annoying this game can be do it. But, there is one option you can do, a new feature in this rerelease known as "Mellow Mode" basically what happens is you have infinite flight and infinite eggs, you still take hits though so it's not entirely braindead. If you're planning on getting 100% which i'll say right now, it's not worth it, use mellow mode, it'll make your life easier.
With that out of the way, i'll just say that this game is very creative and the music is amazing, this is a solid 3DS port of a Wii U game, and I think its my preferred way to play. Sure the visuals aren't as strong as Wii U but this game still has the charm you'd expect from a Yoshi game. Right up there with the og Yoshis Island but that's going to be hard to top.
