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.

The beads from Kirby's Epic Yarn also appear in this game, and once again act as a currency, allowing Yoshi to buy 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.
