First announced in 2017 and released on March 29th, 2019, Yoshi's Crafted World is a game in the Yoshi's Island series for Nintendo Switch. Developed by Good-Feel, the game is a sequel to Yoshi's Woolly World as well as a Spiritual Successor to the company's earlier game Kirby's Epic Yarn.

In Yoshi's Island, there is a mystical artifact called the Sundream Stone that can make one's wishes come true. But one day, Kamek and Baby Bowser found about the Sundream Stone and tried to make off with it. Unfortunately, a struggle with the Yoshis and Kamek get into a battle that causes the Sundream Stone and its five jewels to be scattered across the island.

The game stars Yoshi who appears to be made out of crafted fabric rather than felt. He is able to throw eggs in a three dimensional plane for the first time.

Forget Haunted Maker Mansion’s grim reaper — we don’t expect our poor dinosaurs to ever recover from Be Afraid of the Dark. Regardless, for the sake of those Red Coins, Smiley Flowers, Poochy Pups, and Souvenirs, they’ll just have to take one for the team. At least they have our guide to see them through.

Tropes found in this game include:

  • Amusement Park: Cardstock Carnival. Includes Ferris wheels, roller coasters, carousels, and Bullet Bills (fireworks, perhaps).
  • Antepiece: The game frequently eases the player into each level's mechanics through safe environments. Sometimes, an entire level basically trains the player for an upcoming boss fight.
  • Art Course: In a game already based on arts and crafts, this game has one in the form of 'Stitched Together', which actually reuses assets and aesthetics of the previous game, making it unique in a game that utilizes a different style of art. This also technically counts as a Nostalgia Level, in a way.
  • Art Shift: Yoshi's Woolly World had mostly a yarn aesthetic, whereas Yoshi's Crafted World evokes what is essentially what happens when you ask a group of children to make dioramas with anything on hand, including paper plates, cans, cardboard boxes, drinking straws and so much more.
  • Attack Its Weak Point: Typically represented by an X-shaped patch of tape. Some bosses weak to this include:
      Advertisement:
    • Tin-Can Condor, whose weak point is under his crown.
    • Gator Train, whose weak point is in its mouth.
    • Burt the Ball, whose weak point is his crotch.
  • Big Boo's Haunt: Haunted Maker Mansion. Enemies in this stage include Zombie Shy Guys, Chompagobblers, and Shy Guy Reapers.
  • Bonus Boss: Kamek himself.
  • Bonus Dungeon: Hidden Hills, which only can be accessed after beating the final boss.
  • Boss Arena Idiocy: Tin-Can Condor is the only major boss who isn't a Tactical Suicide Boss, but it does have the misfortune of fighting Yoshi in an area where Mousers keep bringing in magnets Yoshi can use to weigh it down.
  • Boss-Only Level: If there's a level with a Dream Gem icon, it's this. It's also the first game where Yoshi doesn't have to go through a castle level of sorts. However, the Bonus Boss doesn't have a gem.
  • Boss Subtitles: Every major boss is shown to have a title after Kamek creates the boss from resources such as Burt the Ball.
  • Defeat by Modesty: In grand tradition, Burt the Ball (who is still rather bashful) wears pants that lower as he takes damage, with the fight ending once his pants are gone completely.
  • Dem Bones: One level consists of a pursuit by Skelesaurus which appears to be a giant fossil-skeleton dinosaur. Also doubles as an Advancing Wall of Doom.
  • Depth Perplexion: Sometimes it can be difficult for the game to tell what you're aiming at, especially if it's in the background.
  • Dismantled MacGuffin: The Sundream Stone has five jewels that got scattered across the island.
  • Eternal Engine: Mr. Geary's Factory, which has a few Lethal Lava Land elements, and ends with a battle against Mr. Geary himself.
  • Fetch Quest: The Blockafeller quests have you replaying levels from the world in search of 'crafts', objects that can be found in the foreground and background of levels.
  • Final-Exam Boss: The True Final Boss, Kamek Kerfuffle, involves fighting harder, Kamek-themed versions of Tin-Can Condor, Gator Train, and Baby Bowser's mecha, along with controlling Go-Go Yoshi one more time during the final phase.
  • Five-Second Foreshadowing: One of the Message Boxes in 'Be Afraid of the Dark' simply reads 'He'll come from behind.' Cue axe-wielding doll bursting through the wall behind Yoshi.
  • Groin Attack: Burt the Ball needs to be Ground Pounded right between his stubby feet after being knocked into the water.
  • Ground Pound: Considering Yoshi's Island is the Trope Namer, this comes with the territory. It can be used to bash in stakes and defeat tougher enemies who can shrug off a typical stomp, tongue or egg to the face. Uniquely, the left shoulder buttons are also mapped to Ground Pound, in addition to the classic method of pressing down.
  • Humongous Mecha:
    • Go-Go Yoshi is a giant Yoshi mecha made out of cardboard.
    • In the first phase of the final boss fight, Baby Bowser pilots a giant mecha.
  • Instructive Level Design: The game makes minimal use of Hint Blocks by letting the level design itself teach the player how everything works. For example, Mine-Cart Cave teaches the player that the Action Bomb enemies can be used to blow up rocks by placing one of them in front of some rocks that blow up when it tries to attack.
  • Jungle Japes: Rumble Jungle.
  • Level Ate: 'Poochy's Sweet Run', where bridges are made of sandwich crackers and bounce pads are macarons.
  • Level in Reverse: Each course has a 'Flip Side' where you play the level backwards, with the perspective flipped to match, and try to find and escort Poochy Pups to the goal.
  • Levels Take Flight: 'Altitude Adjustment' involves Yoshi standing on a flying plane, whilst collecting coins, battling Shy Guys (including those on enemy planes) and popping balloons. The plane will fly lower if Yoshi stands on the front end, and it will fly higher if he stands on the rear end.
  • Lily-Pad Platform: In the level 'Ride the River', Yoshi travels on a river riding of lilypads (made out of sponge, to fit the crafting theme of the game).
  • Locomotive Level:
    • 'Rail-Yard Run' (part of Sunshine Station) involves Kamek disassembling a steam engine, and Yoshi must find the three missing pieces to reassemble it. When he does, the train will take him to the goal.
    • 'Whistlestop Rails' from Big Paper Peak is another locomotive level, this time with the better part of the level spent riding trains through fields and caves and dodging Fangs.
    • 'Jungle Tour Challenge' from Rumble Jungle involves Yoshi riding on a train as he shoots eggs at the animal targets.
    • 'Gator Train Attacks!' is a Traintop Battle against the titular Gator Train, which rides on rails parallel to Yoshi's.
  • Make My Monster Grow: Averted this time. Rather than enlarging an enemy, Kamek gather resources from the scene for example, he used a tin can as the body base for Tin-Can Condor or acorns and sweet gum balls for Spike the Piranha's vines However it's played straight as per Yoshi game where he enlarges Baby Bowser for the second part of the final fight and the final phase of the Bonus Boss where Kamek himself grows giant.
  • Monster Clown: The ragdolls in 'Be Afraid of the Dark' are clowns who make demonic screeches and charge at Yoshi with axes.
  • Monster Is a Mommy: Done in the first stage of Rumble Jungle. You're chased by much of the stage by an angry, aggressive Rhinono. At the end, you see that she's worried because her baby is stranded on the other side of a broken bridge. When you fix the bridge, she and her baby team up to break one last obstacle for you before they stop chasing you.
  • Musical Nod: Some of the music, particularly in the world contain elements from the main theme in Yoshi's Story.
  • Musical Spoiler: Upon completing the level 'Many Fish in the Sea', you can view its song in the Scrapbook. Said song is entitled 'A Teeny, Tiny Universe'.
  • Mythology Gag: Some of the fake food cartons that the levels are made out of reference other Mario series, including:
    • Moo Moo Meadows milk.
    • Yo'sterCookies.
    • Starbeans Coffee cans and bottles.
  • Non-Lethal Bottomless Pits: Falling into a bottomless pit just deals some damage and makes Yoshi lose his eggs before turning into a winged egg and flying to the last solid ground he was on. Falling into a bottomless pit in the Hidden Hill levels or the True Final Boss is instant death, though.
  • Nostalgia Level: 'Stitched Together' is done in the style of Woolly World, with most of the level being made out of yarn. In addition, a lot of its setpieces are inspired by iconic ones from Woolly World, such as the windmills and mobiles.
  • Painful Pointy Pufferfish: In the Yarrctopus Docks level 'Many Fish in the Sea', Yoshi has to ride on a variety of papercraft fishes, which serve as platforms. Some of the fishes are pufferfishes, which Yoshi has to avoid unless he wants to get damage.
  • Patchwork Map: Literally and figuratively. The 'worlds' only consist of 2-3 levels this time and they all have very different themes, like the Space Zone being right after the Jungle Japes, yet those settings connected by simple paper trails guarded by cardboard robots.
  • Pixel Hunt: The myriad Fetch Quests can often result in checking the background and foreground obsessively.
  • Plot Coupon That Does Something: Smiley Flowers help make unhappy characters happy.
  • Power-Up Mount: Poochy returns as a mount for Yoshi to ride on, and retains his invincibility to enemies and hazards.
  • Puzzle Boss: The Shogun is different from other bosses in that the point of his battle is to navigate a maze of moving rooms and spike walls until you reach his chambers, at which point he is completely defenseless.
  • Racing Minigame: 'Solar Zoom' involves Yoshi riding a solar-powered car, and racing against Shy Guys in their own race cars. The car gains speed in sunlight and loses speed in the shadows, and running to the left or the right sides of the solar panels changes lanes.
  • Recursive Ammo: The newly-introduced Blue/Teal Eggs (made by ricocheting a red egg) give the player 3 more eggs if used to defeat an enemy.
  • Rhino Rampage: Several aggressive rhinos appear in the Rumble Jungle. They ram on Yoshi on sight and are very persistent. This can prove useful, as they can be tricked into destroying obstacles Yoshi would otherwise be unable to pass.
  • Ring-Out Boss: Burt the Ball has limited ways to harm Yoshi, and mostly just tries to knock him into the water with Bumpties and beach balls, and by tilting the arena. Spitting Bumpties at Burt allows Yoshi to turn the tide against him (figuratively and literally) and expose his weak point.
  • Rise to the Challenge: At one point in Mr. Geary's Factory, Yoshi must climb to the top of a vat as the lava inside it rises.
  • River of Insanity: 'Ride the River', especially with the Lunge Fish that try to eat Yoshi. One of which serves as an Advancing Wall of Doom near the end of the stage.
  • Scenery Porn: This game is absolutely gorgeous and one of the gimmicks is to play in both the front and back halves of the stages!
  • Shielded Core Boss: The Tin Can Condor is normally immune to your eggs or any form of damage, due to being plated in a coat of armor made of tin cans. However, Little Mousers periodically run across the screen with magnets, which you can then spit at him, dragging the feather armor off his head and exposing the weak point.
  • Space Zone: Outer Orbit.
  • Spiritual Successor: This game is even closer to Yoshi's Story than Woolly World was, both gameplay (free-aiming eggs and tridimensional paths) and aesthetic-wise, with a bigger emphasis on exploring and collecting. Even most of the music consists of arrangements of a single theme.
  • Stalactite Spite: Several falling icicles appear in Slip-Slide Isle.
  • Stop Motion:
    • Whenever Kamek uses his wand to assemble a boss or when the Sundream Stone grants the wishes to make something for whatever one desires, it happens in what seems to be Stop Motion for the inanimate objects.
    • The costume capsule dispensers have jerky, low frame rate animations. Given how realistic the material objects are made of can look in this game, it gives a very convincing stop-animation feel.
  • Surprise Creepy: The majority of the game is bright and cheerful, as per usual for Yoshi. Then you meet 'Be Afraid of the Dark' and start to wonder why there are murderous axe-wieldingdolls in this cutesy, colorful game. This is despite 'Haunted Maker Mansion', the other spooky level, mostly being cute.

run
Yoshi
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute:
    • Spike the Piranha is basically the land version of Naval Piranha.
    • Burt the Ball has new attacks involving Bumpties and beach balls, but otherwise, he's just Burt the Bashful with a different name.
  • Tactical Suicide Boss: Overall, a lot of the bosses would be invincible if they didn't keep summoning enemies Yoshi can throw or spit back at them.
    • Spike the Piranha would be invincible if it didn't keep spitting out containers above it that can be hit to drop spike balls on it.
    • Burt the Ball would be unbeatable if he didn't summon those Bumpties that Yoshi can spit at him.
    • Gator Train is invincible, but when he tries to bite Yoshi, he exposes the soda can in his mouth, his weak point, as dictated by the tape over it.
    • Baby Bowser would be unstoppable if he didn't keep summoning enemies Yoshi can use against him. His second phase would likewise be unbeatable if he didn't keep pulling out weapons Yoshi can use against him.
    • Kamek keeps exposing himself to make his attacks more powerful, even though he'd be invincible if he just stayed hidden the whole time.
  • Theme-and-Variations Soundtrack: Nearly all of the music consists of remixes of the game's main theme. The only exceptions are the map theme, boss theme, and final boss theme.
  • Towering Flower: The Origami Gardens are filled with various flowers several times bigger that Yoshi and the local fauna alike.
  • Traintop Battle: Gator Train is train fought by Yoshi on a train of his own.
  • Unspoken Plan Guarantee: After the Yoshis gather four of the five Dream Stones, Kamek and Baby Bowser have an unspoken plan on what to do next. Turns out the plan was to just let the Yoshis get the last Dream Stone and reassemble the Sundream Stone so they can swipe it for themselves.
  • Wake-Up Call Boss: Spike the Piranha will likely give one a tough time if they were off guard from the cakewalks that were Yarrctopus and Tin Can Condor, mainly due to his very hectic bullet patterns.
  • Weakened by the Light: The dolls in 'Be Afraid of the Dark' get stopped by spotlights and will not chase Yoshi through them.
  • Wintry Auroral Sky: Slip-Slide Isle, which takes place on a frozen island, has blue auroras shimmering in its nighttime sky.
  • Wutai: All of the Ninjarama world is set in some kind of Japanese landscape;
    • 'Deceptive Doors' takes place at a dojo at night with Shy Guys throwing paper stars and green straws emulating bamboo stalks.
    • 'Behind the Shoji' is an autoscroller with the twist that portions of the level are hidden behind the titular sheet.
    • 'The Shogun's Castle' is a Big Fancy Castle guarded by yogurt-cup swordsmen and featuring puzzles involving elevators.

One of the more distinctive features in Yoshi's Crafted World that hasn't been seen in prior Yoshi games is the addition of adorable costumes Yoshi can dress up. Like the rest of the game, these costumes appear to be made of craft materials like cardboard and paper, and are usually themed after certain aspects of the game's levels or its characters. They're not only stylish and cute, but they can protect Yoshi from damage as well!

No paper cuts

Yoshi's Crafted World

Back to fun things with Yoshi!

Yoshi and Poochy are back and traveling through another beautiful, creative world full of new puzzles and bright colors. It's everything you love about a Yoshi game, with the most clever background so far.

As you play, you may find yourself wanting to collect more and more of these cute costumes for Yoshi. Most aren't too hard to find, but there are a few secret costumes that may elude you. Here's how to find all of the costumes in Yoshi's Crafted World:

What are costumes used for in Yoshi's Crafted World?

Yoshi's Crafted World features dozens of collectible costumes that Yoshi can wear as he hops through each level. The costumes are sort of aesthetically silly, but they provide protection for Yoshi from damage, both from enemies and the environment. Depending on the costume's rarity, it will protect Yoshi from more damage before breaking. Common costumes give three, rare give four, and super rare give five 'shields' of damage before they break and leave Yoshi vulnerable. Don't be afraid to wear these costumes into levels though, because while a costume can be 'destroyed' by enemies, it'll remain in your inventory for you to put back on when you exit the level.

Other than damage protection, costumes are just a fun collectible for you to pursue as you play.

Use the gachapon machines

The easiest way to get costumes (and, in fact, the method you'll use to get the majority of them) is through the game's gachapon machines located in the game's various 'worlds.' Each gachapon has ten costumes in it, and you'll get one for every use of the machine. Machines earlier in the game will cost 100 coins for a play, while later ones cost 150.

The good news about the gachapons is that while some costumes are 'rare' or 'super rare,' you'll eventually get them all within ten tries. That's because the machine won't give you any duplicates ever, it will just keep dispensing a new costume until it's empty. So while you'll have to farm coins just a bit to collect them all, you won't have to grind through levels only to be rewarded with duplicates.

Almost every costume in the game is obtained through the gachapon machines, so get to work collecting those coins!

Use amiibo

A handful of costumes in Yoshi's Crafted World can be obtained by tapping amiibo. The game has a small number of compatible amiibo that will give unique costumes, and almost all other amiibo will give you an 'amiibo box' costume if you don't already have one.

The following amiibo will give unique costumes:

  • Mario (any Mario amiibo will give the same costume)
  • Peach (any Peach amiibo will give the same costume)
  • Luigi (any Luigi amiibo will give the same costume)
  • Bowser (any Bowser amiibo will give the same costume)
  • Yarn Yoshi (each differently colored Yarn Yoshi gives a different color costume. Mega Yarn Yoshi gives the same Green Yarn Yoshi costume as its smaller counterpart)
  • Yoshi (a different costume than Yarn Yoshi)
  • Poochy
  • Toad
  • Koopa Troopa

Collect all Smiley Flowers

Between gachapon costumes and amiibo, you'll end up with all but one of the costumes available in Yoshi's Crafted World. The final costume is only available for those who go the extra mile to collect every single Smiley Flower in the entire game. That means all flowers contained within levels, the bonus Smiley Flowers from getting 100 coins, all hearts, and all red coins, the flowers obtained from finding all Poochy Pups in each level within the time limit, and the extra flowers from finding souvenirs.

With all these flowers in tow, you'll have 317 extra flowers once you've unlocked every area in the game. Deliver these to the NPC in Hidden Hills who is asking for them, and he'll give you the super rare Sundream Stone costume.
