Yoshi's Crafted World

Template:Infobox Yoshi's Crafted World is a title in the Yoshi franchise, the sixth main platform game starring Yoshi, 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 yellow tape trails.

Unlike the previous game, the game adopts a hand-crafted art style, with every level being made to have a "theme of things crafted in kindergarten." The Yoshis in particular are made out of a material called "flocky". A variety of cardboard costumes are available to unlock within the game, including some based off Nintendo Labo. The game also features amiibo support, with certain amiibo granting the player exclusive themed costumes.

Story

General

The Sundream Stone

At the start of the game, the Yoshis are seen resting on 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.

Gameplay

Similar to the previous Yoshi games, Yoshi can run, jump, lick up enemies, Flutter Jump, Ground Pound, and throw Yoshi's Eggs/Poochy Pups. Conversely, Yoshi does not need to crouch anymore 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 hearts, up to 20. These can be obtained by hitting certain Winged Clouds, reaching Checkpoint Bells, or hitting Roulette Blocks 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.

A number of levels in the game include alternative gameplay styles and challenges, often involving vehicles on auto-scrolling planes. In these, up to three Smiley Flowers can be collected based off how many points players get, with the exception of Solar Zoom, where it is instead based off how they place in the race.

This is the first Yoshi game without the game files option at the start.

Flip side

Each level (aside from boss fights and the levels in Hidden Hills) provide access to both the "front side" and the "flip side." The flip side gives a look at levels from the backside, often showing off how certain contraptions within the levels work, emphasizing the hand-crafted feel. The flip side can only be accessed upon beating the corresponding front side, and only after Poochy's Tape Trail has been completed.

In each flip side, the only collectibles remaining are hearts, which are the only items available in Winged Clouds. Some souvenirs can also be found on the flip side.

Instead, three Poochy Pups can be found scattered throughout the level. They can be found in a variety of situations: jumping between bushes, hanging onto rotating blocks, or even riding on solar cars. Once touched, licked, or hit with an egg, the Poochy Pup will follow closely behind Yoshi. They can be used as projectiles that can return to Yoshi, effectively giving an infinite supply of eggs.

For each pup brought to the end goal, a Smiley Flower will be obtained. Additionally, if all three pups are brought to the goal under a certain time limit, Poochy will appear holding a fourth Smiley Flower in his mouth.

Collectibles

Each level has a variety of collectibles to obtain, each requiring different conditions to find. In addition to the Smiley Flowers 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 Coins will remain translucent upon replays. Some collectibles are found in presents in the background.

Smiley Flowers are used to unlock new subworlds by paying a "toll" to the Blockafeller resting in front of it. Once all of them are collected, they can be paid to the big Blockafeller in Hidden Hills to unlock the Sundream Stone costume. Getting all the Smiley Flowers in a subworld will adorn the diorama with festive pinwheel flowers.

Blockafellers appear in each subworld to provide the Yoshis with missions to find souvenirs in the form of crafts, themed decorations that appear in the foreground or background. One at a time, Yoshi will be requested to find a certain number of the souvenir in a certain level. Once Yoshi finds and throws eggs at each of them, he can leave the level immediately, or continue to play through. Either way, after returning to the world map, the Blockafeller will give Yoshi a Smiley Flower as a reward and, if the are still uncollected souvenirs in the subworld, request another type of souvenir.

Similarly, a small Blockafeller named Sprout can be found hiding in every level, on the ground, once Baby Bowser is defeated. Although he does not give Smiley Flowers for being found, finding him in every level will award a costume based off himself.

Modes

There are two modes, Classic and Mellow.

Co-op

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.

Only one Yoshi needs to have 20 hearts at the end of a level to obtain the level's corresponding Smiley Flower.

Mellow Mode

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 also has the capacity to hold additional hearts, allowing them to take more hits.

Yoshi's Eggs will also drop coins when they hit an enemy after rebounding off a wall or a platform.
10 Coin	Large coins with Yoshi's face on them worth 10 normal coins each. Though they are rarer than regular gold coins, they are still somewhat common.
Red Coin	Collectibles that are commonly found among regular gold coins. There are twenty scattered throughout each stage, sometimes carried by enemies.

Acorn Owl	Yoshi can carry these in his mouth. Functions as a weight.
Apple	If Yoshi hits a Time Cloud, apples might appear nearby. If Yoshi eats all of them before time runs out, a Smiley Flower appears.
Balloon	If Yoshi hits a Time Cloud, balloons might appear nearby, in the background. Yoshi must throw eggs at them to pop them. If he pops all of the balloons before time runs out, a Smiley Flower appears.

Egg Block	Blocks that produce Yoshi's Eggs when hit from the bottom. They stop giving out any more when there are six present on-screen.
Heart	Small items with eyes and feet that hop around slowly. They can be collected to regain energy. They are produced by Winged Clouds, but also appear from enemies who are caught on-screen when Yoshi passes a checkpoint. Shortly after spawning, hearts start to flicker and eventually disappear, making them temporary.

Time booster	Time boosters appear throughout the level Hoop-Jump Hop. When Yoshi collects one, his time is reset to thirty seconds.
Time Cloud	Winged Clouds that display clocks on them. When hit, the perspective is flipped 180 degrees, allowing Yoshi to see elements previously located behind the camera. However, this happens for a limited time, during which Yoshi can play a minigame of aiming and throwing eggs at enemies to receive a prize. A blue variant exists as well, tasking Yoshi with either collecting some blue coins, pounding all posts, popping balloons with eggs, or eat all on-screen apples within the time limit.
Winged Cloud	Stationary objects that hover above the ground. They turn into an item or a formation of coins when hit with a Yoshi's Egg.
Yoshi's Egg	Objects that Yoshi can throw at various elements in his close environment. Yoshi's Eggs can be aimed with a moving cursor and thrown on both Yoshi's plane and the surrounding planes. They are able to defeat enemies, topple backdrop objects, or trigger switches and other mechanisms to change the environment. If they rebound off a surface and hit an enemy afterwards, they produce three coins. In addition, they can be thrown at coins and Smiley Flowers to collect them. Red Eggs give three hearts to Yoshi when used to defeat an enemy, Blue Eggs give three Yoshi's Eggs, and Yellow Eggs give three Coins. The items released from the Yoshi's Eggs are automatically collected upon spawning.

Reviews
Release	Reviewer, Publication	Score	Comment
Nintendo Switch	Tom Marks, IGN	7.8/10	"Yoshi's Crafted World is an engaging and charming platformer that is absolutely worth playing, but it misses a clear opportunity to be more than that by not taking full advantage of its most clever ideas. It has enough creative collectibles to make completionists want to hunt down every last one, but I'm disappointed Crafted World didn’t challenge me more in the way its last few levels proved it could have. Of course, I still thoroughly enjoyed every adorable hour I spent with it."
Nintendo Switch	Chris Carter, Destructoid	7.5/10	"Most of my journey through the wonderful cardboard universe of Yoshi's Crafted World, littered with myriad ridiculous noises from Yoshi, was spent with a smile on my face. It's not the type of project that's going to set the world on fire like Tropical Freeze, but it still has more heart than most studios could ever hope to give in their lifetime."
Nintendo Switch	Kallie Plagge, GameSpot	8/10	"Yoshi's Crafted World is at its best when it's relaxing and pleasant. The 2D-to-3D level design keeps you curious while the go-at-your-own-pace approach keeps the pressure off and leaves you to appreciate the small, imaginative details. Its most interesting ideas never evolve past their first introductions and are frequently confined to one or two levels, but individually, those levels both reward your curiosity and your willingness to slow down and look at what's around you--and it's those simple pleasures that provide the most joy."
