'''Blockafellers'''<ref>NintendoAmerica (March 19, 2019). [https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1108088248838979585 Members of the Blockafeller family are stacking up to help in #YoshisCraftedWorld. These box-shaped buddies are no squares! They’ll help guide you along in your adventure and introduce you to different challenges!] ''Twitter'' Retrieved March 19, 2019.</ref> are a family of robot-like characters in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. They have springy arms, heads with a flower on top and a large nose, a singular "foot" made out of a bottle cap, and bodies made out of cardboard boxes. All Blockafellers except for the one in [[Sunshine Station]] start out without any energy in the middle of the path, with their appearance being a box with a meter in front of it. Once they are given the required amount of [[Smiley Flower]]s to recharge them, they unlock the world and stay on the far left spot on the map of the world, or to the left of the boss battles. Their color scheme changes depending on the Blockafeller. Their name appears to be a combination of "block" and "{{wp|Rockefeller}}."

Three types of Blockafeller exist in the game. The first kind is the standard kind that appears in each world. The second is a larger variant known as [[Torque (species)|Torques]]. These ones have two bottle cap feet instead of one, lack springy arms (having them directly attached to their bodies instead) and wear clothing such as overalls, sunhats, or sunglasses. These Blockafellers appear on each boss battle island. Finally, there is a single elderly Blockafeller with a cane and elf hat named [[Crumples]] who appears twice in the game, once to tell the player they can choose the order to search for the red, purple, and yellow [[Dream Gem]]s, and again once the player collects said Dream Gems to access the final few areas. After talking with him in both of these encounters, he flies away with balloons on his back.

After the player beats a level, the world's Blockafeller assigns them a task that involves going back to the same level to collect a souvenir for them, such as collecting five cardboard cows in [[Rail-Yard Run]]. When the task is beaten, the player can choose to continue playing the level or to exit it. When the level is exited after the task is completed, the world's Blockafeller gives the player a Smiley Flower.

A Blockafeller [[List of costumes in Yoshi's Crafted World|costume]] can also be unlocked by finding [[Sprout]] in every level.

==Trivia==
*In the demo for ''Yoshi's Crafted World'', the Blockafeller in Sunshine Station is named Fin instead of Coal, whereas his brother who is named Fin in the full game is not present in the demo at all. This can be discovered by speaking with the Blockafeller first before playing [[Rail-Yard Run]].
