Yoshi's Woolly World is a 2015 platform game developed by Good-Feel and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. It is the first home console title in the Yoshi series since 1997's Yoshi's Story, as well as the spiritual successor to 2010's Kirby's Epic Yarn. The game features two Yoshis on their quest to rescue their friends, who have been converted to bundles of yarn by Kamek in order to create a new castle for Baby Bowser.
Like Kirby's Epic Yarn, Yoshi's Woolly World utilizes an art style reminiscent of yarn, with gameplay centering on the material's unique properties in addition to the series' core gameplay; Yoshi in the game produces yarn balls with various uses instead of eggs, while also being able to transform into multiple forms similar to Kirby in Kirby's Epic Yarn.
A port for the Nintendo 3DS, known as Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, was released worldwide in early 2017. Both versions received generally favorable reviews, with reviewers praising the art style, gameplay, and innovation, but criticizing the easy difficulty.
