Yoshi's Woolly World was released on October 16, 2015.  It was first released in Europe on June 26, 2015 and followed by Japan on July 16, 2015.  The game was developed by Good-Feel and Nintendo.  The game was published by Nintendo.  This game was the first Yoshi game to be released for on a home console since Yoshi's Story in 1997.

      Players tangle, pull, and stretch yarn to explore the world around Yoshi.  The game has a similar game play to the Yoshi's Island series.  Instead of eggs, Yoshi will be tossing yarn balls.  These yarn balls will be able to place a muzzle on a Piranha Plant or knit together background elements.

     The game features Mellow Mode which is an easier version of the game which can be activated at any time.  Yoshi will have new transformations.  These include a motorcycle, mole, and giant Yoshi. 

     The game supports amiibo figurines.  These amiibo will be made out of yarn to match the game.  These amiibo will enable a duplicate Yoshi to join a solo player and replicate the possibilities of the two-player mode.  Nintendo plans to launch three Yoshi Amiibos to coincide with the game's launch in pink, green, and blue.  Additional amiibo will also be compatible and Yoshi will take a look similar to that amiibo.

     The game received mixed reviews.  Some critics found fault with the Mellow Mode saying it made the game too easy.  The game sold 43,000 copies during its first two weeks on sale in Japan.
