The Joy of Collecting
The Yoshi franchise has always been known for its emphasis on collecting items, and Woolly World is no exception. The game encourages players to explore every nook and cranny, rewarding them with hidden treasures. According to Tezuka, the freedom of movement and lightness in gameplay are key factors that make collecting items enjoyable. The lack of a time limit allows players to experiment and have fun, discovering new secrets along the way. Watanabe adds that visual cues and hints are strategically placed throughout the game to entice players to explore further, such as threads of yarn sticking out of the environment or fluffy areas that hide surprises.
Unique Yoshi Designs
One of the standout features in Yoshi’s Woolly World is the variety of Yoshi designs available to players. Watanabe explains that this idea came about during the game’s development when they realized the potential for creativity in Yoshi’s appearance. By incorporating knitted scarfs, sweaters, and various colors, they were able to design a range of unique Yoshis. Tezuka expresses his joy in changing Yoshi’s designs and confirms that the focus was purely on the visual aspect and the pleasure it brought rather than abilities tied to specific designs.
Unlockable Yoshi Skins
When asked about their favorite unlockable Yoshi skin, Tezuka points to the Mario design as the most memorable. He explains that the process of creating this particular skin was an exciting challenge, as they had no clear ideas at the beginning. Watanabe highlights the secret stages in the game, where players can unlock unique Yoshi designs inspired by Nintendo hardware systems. She shares how working with the original hardware developers to visually represent the hardware in a recognizable way was an incredibly rewarding experience.

The topic of Amiibo designs comes up, and Tezuka mentions that not every Amiibo character could be included authentically as a Yoshi design. The decision was made to focus on characters that would translate well into the Yoshi form. The absence of Yoshis resembling Pokémon was due to the team’s consideration of how well the characters could be represented visually.
The Special Place of Yoshi
Tezuka expresses his deep connection to the Yoshi series, sharing that he created Yoshi’s iconic flutter jump and worked closely with Mr. Miyamoto to perfect the egg-throwing mechanic. The Yoshi series holds a special place in his heart due to these personal contributions.
Drawing Inspiration and Choosing Aesthetics
When it comes to drawing inspiration for Yoshi games, Tezuka explains that they primarily look within the Yoshi universe itself. However, for Yoshi’s Woolly World, they collaborated with Good Feel, a developer known for their visually appealing games, to see what a Yoshi game would look like in their hands. The goal was to create something fresh while staying true to Yoshi’s unique identity.
The Universal Appeal of Yarn Aesthetics
The use of yarn as a popular aesthetic in games like Kirby’s Epic Yarn and Yoshi’s Woolly World has garnered attention. Tezuka and Watanabe reveal that their decision to use yarn came from a desire to have fun with Yoshi’s form rather than following a trend. Watanabe also emphasizes the tactile appeal of yarn, as it allows players to imagine unraveling something, creating a universally appealing experience.

Q: How are the vehicle transformation segments and other transformations determined in Yoshi’s Woolly World?
A: Watanabe and Tezuka describe these transformations as short bursts of opportunities for Yoshi to showcase unique abilities. They focus on creating transformations that add variety and enjoyment to the gameplay experience.
