Yoshi's
Woolly World
Yoshi’s
Woolly World is suitable for children 3 and over, but it can be enjoyed by
adults who like to play video games with their kids, younger ages will need
parent/sibling help at points even with mellow mode. It includes your typical
platformer game ingredients such as moving platforms; boss battles every 3 or
so stages, hub worlds, lava stages, ice stages etc. But, for those with the
ability to just let loose and enjoy, they will find a game that is filled with
pleasantries.
The graphics are simply astounding
showing the power the Wii U has to be able to play this game at this level and
of course you have the addictive happy tempo music. Everything is made out of
yarn, felt, and cotton balls. Backdrops are obviously hanging fabric, buttons
are everywhere, and balls of yarn littler the landscapes. They did a great job
of making everything look and animate wonderfully.
There are five 'yarn' bundles in each level. Yoshi tosses yarn balls to clear the way and tangle his enemies and sometimes knot them together. Yoshi can also tug at stray yarn and unravel walls to reveal hidden gems. If you collect them all in the game, after the game you'll be able to stitch them together to form a new Yoshi that you can use. Hidden areas make very good use of the crochet theme. Often there is a string tied in a bow. If you grab that string with your tongue, it will unravel a whole crochet item and reveal a hidden area.

There
are two difficulty levels. You can switch difficulty at any time (even in the
middle of the level). The levels are the same either way. It's just if you
change to mellow mode your Yoshi’s can float fly forever which gives you a way
to avoid falling to death and sometimes to skip whole parts of a level. My five
year old who is not very good with games can slowly go through the level with
mellow mode on.
