Yoshi's Woolly World on Nintendo Wii U

The boys loved the fabulous Yoshi craft pack that Nintendo sent us recently... but they are completely over the moon with the new Yoshi's Woolly World game on Wii U!

This is the latest in the Yoshi series, and just as in Yoshi's New Island you play the lovable character as he takes on a new adventure.

In this game, everything has been turned to wool - even Yoshi himself - and the evil Kamek has turned some of the Yoshis to yarn balls by unravelling them, and stolen them - hiding them around the various worlds.

Miss T loved the woolly Amiibo, but it was eventually rescued to join the game.

We asked J to write a review...

In Yoshi's Woolly World you have to complete levels and rescue the other Yoshis. You have to stop Kamek and defeat the bad guys. You have yarn balls instead of eggs, and everything is made of wool. 

There are gems instead of coins, and you can also use power badges such as: clear the course, make all the yarn balls big, powered-up ground pound and many more. 

Poochy is also in the game and he can help you get to secret areas. You can switch between mellow mode and classic mode. In mellow mode you have wings, whereas in classic mode you don't.

You can use yarn Yoshi Amiibos or if you use a different Amiibo your Yoshi becomes a Yoshi version of that character. If you get all the pieces of a yarn Yoshi in a level then you can re-make him and can choose to play as that Yoshi. You can also play in two player mode.

 My favourite Yoshi's are: Burt the Yoshi and Moo-moo Yoshi. I think this game is awesome!

So there you have it - J, the head gamer in the family, says it is awesome.

You can find out more about the game and see a trailer for it here and you can read about our Yoshi craft adventures here.

Thanks Nintendo for sending us a download code for Yoshi's Woolly World!
