Yoshi's Curtain Call is the final level of World 5 in Yoshi's Woolly World. It is unlocked after all forty Smiley Flowers in each level of World 5 are collected. This is also the only level in the game where no enemies are featured.
This level is based entirely on riding red curtains that move very quickly, a higher intensity version of the mechanics used in the eariler level Sunset at Curtain Falls. The rails that these curtains use often end abruptly, leaving the curtain to fall off the screen. This requires Yoshi to jump to another curtain to advance further. It is similar to the Mine Cart levels from the Donkey Kong Country series, especially those of Donkey Kong Country Returns. While in the areas with curtains, camera does not scroll backward at all. With no enemies, the only threats are failing to keep up with the curtains or falling into the pit below, though there are plenty of items to collect.
Layout[edit]
The level starts with two star platforms, with a cannon bobbin at the far right. This cannon bobbin launches Yoshi far across the night sky, landing directly on the first curtain. That curtain zooms off to the right on impact. A short ride leads to the the rail dropping and taking the curtain into the abyss, requiring Yoshi to leap over to another curtain ahead. That curtain does the exact same thing on a shorter interval, followed by a third. After that, the next two curtains are on a split path, with one above the other. The lower curtain has beads leading into it, and the railing takes a sharp curve upward. The higher railing has a light upward curve. Whichever curtain is picked leads to a set of three curtains, though only the lower of the earlier two curtains is sent flying high enough for Yoshi to grab the topmost of the three curtains.
These three curtains all zip forward, though the lower two have small jumps while the top one only falls down. This leads to another set of three curtains, and the top one falls down while the bottom two jump forward. The next segment has two curtains again, with the top one having a star of beads to collect. Both curtains jump, leading to a single rail and curtain. This rail takes the curtain through a loop-de-loop, with four of the star bead patterns floating off the loop which Yoshi swings into while riding.
The loop ends with another jump, to a pair of curtains. The paths of these curtains alternate, with the one that started lower ending higher while the one that started higher ends lower. Both rails cause a jump to another pair of curtains. The top one will drop from its rail, while the bottom one jumps. From this point, this pattern repeats three times while a star made from beads with a Smiley Flower in the center flies ahead, with Yoshi gradually catching up to it. If this formation is not collected, it flies away as the next section starts.
The next section is a single curtain which goes down a shallow incline for a while. A sharp turn up launches it through the clouds and high into the air, where another curtain can be grabbed to go back down. Its rail descends much more sharply than the prior curtain's rail, ending in a shallower jump to a nearby curtain. This curtain also terminates quickly on a jump
The next set of curtains are a substantial shift from the prior high speed acrobatics, instead, these three curtains alternate direction as they move upward. The bottom one heads right and up, then drops off. The following curtain moves left and up, then drops. The last one returns to right and up, and the level returns to normal following the jump to another curtain.
That curtain slides for a while then jumps to lead to the next curtain. The following four curtains have rails that lead downward followed by drops, reducing their overall airtime and requiring quick jumps to the next curtain. As such, these curtains are positioned closer together than most of the other jumps in the level.
The last curtain's rail only moves forward for a while. Beads drop out of the clouds and stop in front of the curtain in a zigzag line formation, so Yoshi can climb up and down to collect them all. This curtain ends on one final jump, which has a falling portion leading through beads. The level is not quite done yet, as the final jump is from this plummeting curtain to the platform with the Goal Ring. The intended arc for this final jump is marked by Item Balloons carrying hearts, which happen to be the only ten hearts in the entire level.
