'''''Yoshi's Crafted World''''' is a title in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]] and the follow-up to the 2015 [[Wii U]] game ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on March 29, 2019. It was developed by [[Good-Feel]], the developer behind ''Yoshi's Woolly World'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS]] port ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. The game places a great emphasis on its 3D environments; Yoshi is able to aim eggs into objects that appear in the foreground and background and can travel through a pseudo-3D environment along mostly yellow tape trails.

[[File:Sundream Stone.png|left|thumb|200px|The Sundream Stone surrounded by the Yoshis]]

At the start of the game, the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] are seen resting on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|their island]], gathered around the [[Sundream Stone]], an artifact said to possess the power to make dreams come true. Suddenly, [[Kamek]] and [[Baby Bowser]], who have heard the legend of the Sundream Stone, arrive at the island to take it for themselves. The Yoshis attempt to save the artifact from being stolen, which leads to its gems becoming detached and being flung across multiple worlds. The Yoshis then embark on a journey to search for the gems.

Multiple times over the course of the game, the Yoshis meet up with Kamek and Baby Bowser, who are also in search of the gems. After a short conversation, Kamek uses his magic to create a creature out of the surrounding landscape and pits it against the Yoshis. After defeating a boss, the Yoshis find one of the gems nearby and put it back into Sundream Stone.

After the Yoshis collect all the gems, Kamek steals them and grants Baby Bowser's wish, creating the "biggest, baddest, [and] most awesomest" robot. He then transforms Baby Bowser into a giant. After he is defeated, the Yoshis restore the Sundream Stone back to its original state and wish to return home. The stone then uses its power to create a large ship from the wreckage of [[The Great King Bowser]] that carries them back to their home island, which they continue to use as their base of operations.

:{{color|black|At the topmost peak of the island sits a glistening, gem-set wonder known as the Sundream Stone.}}<br>

:{{color|black|Legends say the [[Sundream Stone]] possesses the power to make anyone's wildest dreams come true!}}<br>

:{{color|black|One fine day...}}<br>

:{{color|black|[[Baby Bowser]] and [[Kamek]] caught wind of the Sundream Stone and made their way to the island.}}<br>

{{color|blue|Kamek: "Eeeheehee! We'll be taking that!"}}<br>

{{color|black|Narrator: When the Yoshis came to, they found themselves in an unfamiliar forest...}}<br>

:{{color|black|Aw... The poor Yoshis seem to be lost...}}<br>

:{{color|black|Oh my! The [[Dream Gem]]s - they're all gone!}}<br>

:{{color|black|The Sundream Stone isn't looking too hot now...}}<br>

:{{color|black|What a tragedy! Someone better find those gems before Kamek and Baby Bowser get to them.}}<br>

:{{color|black|Wonder where this path leads...}}<br>

:{{color|black|Maybe it'll pave the way to the gems!}}<br>

:{{color|black|Looks like the Yoshis are sorting out who should go on this mission.}}<br>

(after players choose a Yoshi to play as)

{{color|black|Narrator: It's settled, then!}}<br>

:{{color|black|The rest of the Yoshis will stay and protect the Sundream Stone. It'll be safe and sound!}}<br>

:{{color|black|The journey to find the gems begins!}}

{{color|black|Narrator: And so, the Sundream Stone was finally restored.}}<br>

:{{color|black|Together, the Yoshis dreamed...that they could be returned to their island home!}}<br>

:{{color|black|All right, let's head back home!}}

Similar to the previous ''Yoshi'' games, Yoshi can run, jump, lick up enemies, [[Flutter Jump]], [[Ground Pound]], and throw [[Yoshi's Egg]]s/[[Poochy Pup]]s. Conversely, Yoshi no longer needs to crouch in order to turn an enemy into an egg, as this action is now performed automatically upon grabbing an enemy with the tongue. The mechanics of Yoshi's egg throwing have likewise changed considerably. Instead of an autonomously moving cursor, Yoshi can freely aim the cursor anywhere on the screen, so that they can aim at objects in the foreground and background. When an object on a different plane is highlighted, the player can throw an egg at it, but eggs are otherwise restricted to a 2D plane. Some objects get knocked away while others stay in place after the impact. Yoshi can often travel between planes by following paths that connect them. While on one of these paths, Yoshi can only ground pound with the L or ZL buttons, due to the down command being assigned to moving towards the player.

Like ''Yoshi's Woolly World'', Yoshi has a health meter that can be replenished by [[heart (item)|heart]]s, up to 20. These can be obtained by hitting certain [[Winged Cloud]]s, reaching [[Check Point (Yoshi's Crafted World)|Check Point]]s, or hitting [[Roulette Block]]s at the right time. Costumes can also be applied to Yoshi which allow him to take extra hits based on the costume's rarity (three for Common, four for Rare, and five for Super Rare/amiibo). These extra hits are replenished upon reaching a checkpoint, but if enough hits are taken, the costume is irreversibly destroyed for the rest of the level (though the costume can be reapplied from the World Map).

Each level contains a unique level style and features, such as spotlights that summon enemies if they spot Yoshi and ropes that he can swing on. Generally, these features are only used in one level, though a few of them do make reappearances in [[Hidden Hills]].

Each level has a variety of collectibles to obtain, each requiring different conditions to find. In addition to the [[Smiley Flower]]s strewn about each level, obtaining all of the collectibles of another type will give the player another Smiley Flower. Players do not need to collect all the collectibles in one run; previously obtained Smiley Flowers and [[Red Coin]]s will remain translucent upon replays. Some collectibles are found in presents in the background.

Two players are able to play the entire game together, each one being a differently colored Yoshi. Each player can also choose their own costume and control options from the menu.

While playing, both players share the same screen, with a camera that dominantly follows Player 1. Each Yoshi has all of the abilities they can use in single-player, and they are able to eat and spit out each other. Additionally, one Yoshi can ride on the other, losing control of movement, but in turn having an unlimited supply of eggs to throw. The Yoshi on the bottom also gains an enhanced [[Ground Pound]] that sends out a shockwave, but cannot throw eggs until the Yoshi on top jumps off.

Only one Yoshi needs to have 20 hearts at the end of a level to obtain the level's corresponding Smiley Flower. To make the task easier, Winged Clouds that drop hearts will produce 10 hearts instead of 5.

Brought back from ''Yoshi's Woolly World'', Mellow Mode is an option in available at any time in the menu. When selected, Yoshi grows a pair of wings that allow them to Flutter Jump infinitely by holding down the jump button. Yoshi will also only lose one heart upon taking damage, and lays two eggs after eating an enemy.

==Worlds and courses==

''Yoshi's Crafted World'' has 17 worlds in total, each one featuring a signature theme and constructed from different materials and techniques. Most worlds in the game feature two to four levels, and only six of them include a boss stage. This contrasts with previous ''Yoshi'' platformers, which typically include fewer worlds with a consistent, higher number of levels and one boss per world.

In order to progress to different worlds, Yoshis will often need to hand over [[Smiley Flower]]s to Blockafellers they meet along the way. The first and final sections of the game are linear, with each world leading to a single other. After [[Origami Gardens]], however, the path branches into two, giving the player more options regarding the order in which to complete the middle portion of the game. The paths converge again in [[Ninjarama]]. A bonus area, [[Hidden Hills]], becomes available after beating the final main story boss.

A few courses in the game are scoring-based challenges in timed or auto-scrolling settings, with the player's final score translating into an amount of Smiley Flowers as a reward. These levels are marked below with an arrow (▷).
