Yoshi’s Woolly World Review

By Paul Tamburro

A yarn worth unravelling.

For quite some time now, I’ve been looking for Nintendo to deliver a side-scrolling platformer that would make me feel the same way as I did when I first played Super Mario World. The New Super Mario Bros. games have been pleasant trips back to the past, but they have never felt…

  • A wonderful focus upon exploration
  • The knitted art direction is gorgeous
  • Platforming feels tight and responsive
  • Collecting all the different Yoshis
  • Reminiscent of Super Mario World
  • The special “vehicle” stages
  • It’s an enjoyable journey, but not a particularly memorable one
  • It doesn’t try to shake up the platforming formula in any way
  • Emphasis on collectibles may prove to be off-putting for many
