[Edit: Thanks for the feature. This was very unexpected]

Hey guys! Just-in Time here.

Out of all the Yoshi games I have played, these two were some of the best in my opinion, and Good Fields really out did themselves with these two games. However, which one is the more superb one.

Yoshi's Crafted World is a title in the Yoshi franchise, the sixth main platform game starring Yoshi, and the follow-up to the Wii U title 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.

🥇 First place gets 3 points

🥈 Second Place gets 1 point

Let’s get Started

Round 1: Story

In Woolly World,

the Yoshis are relaxing on Craft Island, when suddenly, Kamek de knots almost all the Yarn Yoshis and turns them into Wonder Wool, dropping lots of Wonder Wool around the six islands, so it’s up to the surviving Yoshis to stop Kamek and being all the Yoshis back.

In Crafted World,

the Yoshis live on their own island with the Sundream Stone, an artifact said to possess the power to make dreams come true. However, Kamek and Baby Bowser, arrive at the island to take it for themselves. As a result, the gems became detached and are flung across multiple worlds, as are the Yoshis, Kamek, and Baby Bowser. So, the Yoshis must gather all the Sundream Stones before Kamek and Baby Bowser.

Overall, the story in these games feel very similar, I am going to have to give the point to Woolly World.

The plot in that game feels really dark though. KAMEK JUST KILLED MULTIPLE YARN YOSHIS AND THREW THEIR PARTS ACROSS THE ISLANDS!!!!!!!

Crafted World’s story rips off the plot of Mario Tennis Aces, where you have to gather the five gem stones to stop the Lucien racket from taking over the world. Also, can I just reiterate that both these games are ripping off basically the Time Stones and the Infinity Gauntlet, from Marvel’s Infinity War

Winner: Woolly World

🥇 Woolly World (3 points)

🥈 Crafted World (1 point)

Round 2: Graphics

The graphics in both games look amazing. They look like they have been made for a long time and narrowed it down to the tiniest details.

Woolly World’s

Yarn World looks so real to the touch. Everything is bursting out with color. It’s amazing but obviously though.

Crafted World wins obviously being on a bit of a more powerful console but also the Worlds in this game impressed me a lot more.

Winner: Crafted World

🥇 Woolly World (4 points)

🥇 Crafted World (4 points)

Round 3: Characters

The characters in these games are basically the same:

You got the Yoshi and Poochy

Also, both games include very adorable Poochy Pups

(Well, the 3DS version of Woolly World has them, not the Wii U version)

And the villains Kamek and Baby Bowser aka Bowser Jr.

However, Woolly World is the winner because unlike Crafted World, you get these Yoshis

(Those are just some of them)

Winner: Woolly World

🥇 Woolly World (7 points)

🥈 Crafted World (5 points)

Round 4: Gameplay and Controls

Almost everyone should know about the basics of a typical Yoshi game. It’s a 2D side-scrolling platforming game. Woolly World is more accustomed to the older games like the original

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island.

So the controls are just like that. You can flutter jump, ground pound, eat enemies, transform them into yarn balls, and throw them to defeat enemies or uncover pipes and platforms to access secrets.

However, Crafted World follows in the route of the N64 game:

You can cross the 2D line and move in somewhat of a 2.5D perspective. You can even throw eggs into the background to uncover secrets.

That saying, the egg throwing controls are the only controls that are different from Woolly World.

In Woolly World, when you are about to throw an egg, a pointer and cursor moves up and down. So, you have to have good timing to throw an egg. I know that this is the egg throwing method in all the other Yoshi games, but I have never been a big fan of it.

So, with that being said, Crafted World wins

Winner: Crafted World

🥇 Woolly World (8 points)

🥇 Crafted World (8 points)

Round 5: Levels

There are so many creative levels in these games that are so hard to list.

Woolly World has so many that:

Watch Nathaniel Bandy’s video on how good and unique they are

Also, I really like the challenge in most of these levels, while Yoshi games aren’t known for being hard, but these levels, especially the special levels gave me quite a challenge.

For Crafted World, none of the levels were really special, except the minigame stages. Those were some really cool stages where you either:

Winner: Woolly World

🥇 Woolly World (11 points)

🥈 Crafted World (9 points)

Round 6: Music

Honestly, in Crafted World, there are only two music tracks I really enjoy:

In Woolly World, there are so many amazing tracks

Winner: Woolly World

🥇 Woolly World (14 points)

🥈 Crafted World (10 points)

Final Round: Replayability

In Woolly World, each level contains 20 “Stamp Patches”, similar to the Red Coins, found in Yoshi’s Island games. As the Yoshis are attacked by enemies, their Health Meter decreases and can be replenished with Hearts. Also, there are five Flowers and Wonder Wools, which can unlock a new colored Yoshi once all five are found.

Also, once you beat the game, the boss tent opens up where you replay all the bosses with a harder difficulty spike.

In Crafted World, each level also contains 20 Red Coins found in each level, also five Flowers, and the same hit point system. Also, each level has the objective to collect at least 100 coins and when you play the level BACKWARDS, you can find the adorable Poochy Pups.

Also, there are multiple costumes you can unlock with some of the

WORST MUSIC YOU WILL EVER HEAR IN A YOSHI GAME (no joke).

Finally, there are plenty of side missions for you to do in the game. The robots in the game give you requests to find plenty of objects found throughout the levels and even little robots, once you beat the game.

So, basically, I should give the point to Crafted World for having way more things to do in the game, but I am giving the point to Woolly World for just one simple reason, and it’s the big flaw I have with Crafted World:

YOU HAVE TO DO ALL THESE SIDE MISSIONS

ONE AT A TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

With so many missions in the game, you should be able to do multiple missions at once, but nope.

Winner: Woolly World

🥇 Woolly World (17 points)

🥈 Crafted World (11 points)

Mario Odyssey Yoshi's House

Conclusion:

With all that being said, Woolly World reigns supreme and still remains my favorite Yoshi game, in my opinion, at least

Let me know what you guys think is the better game.

Super Mario makes his way back to the Nintendo Switch.

Yoshi Crafted World Review

When I started this blog, I swore I wouldn’t get into talking gaming — it’s just too much. And gaming is just too addictive. But that didn’t last long. I’ve had the Nintendo Switch since November (I bought it two years ago, but returned it), and I can’t imagine a world without it.

The Nintendo Switch really provides an escape from the world we live in today. Yeah, you can say that about any game system, but the Nintendo characters are just so “out there” and “cute.” Basically, the Nintendo Switch can be used for therapy.

Super Mario Bros U Deluxe

This is one of the best new games for the Nintendo Switch right now. It brings back all of the Nostalgia of the original Super Mario Bros. but provided new challenged. It has multiple worlds, multiple characters, and is every bit worth the $50-$60 price tag. And like other Super Mario Games, the music is addicting.

Some may think it’s hard to go back to playing a 2D Super Mario Game after the fantastic Super Mario Odyssey But that is not the case–at least once you really get into the game. While gameplay is in 2D, all of the worlds are created with 3D graphics. And the music, as usual, is absolutely addicting. I especially love hearing human singers sing “Bop Bop” while all the Super Mario characters dance.

Yoshi’s Crafted World (Preview Version)

The cutest character to come out of the Nintendo series has been T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas, otherwise known as “Yoshi.” And everything we’ve loved about him is front and center in this preview (the full game will be available on March 29).

Yoshi's Crafted World is adorable.

The game, at least in its preview version, is more charming entertainment than gameplay excitement. You will have to build a train or find all of the hidden Poochy (adorable!) dogs in order to move to the next level in the game. There’s addicting music, cute enemies (yes, Baby Bowser and Kamek are there), and enough fun to last for hours. It’s not challenging fun, but it’s fun nevertheless.

The future…

There are rumors that the Nintendo Switch is VR compatible, and that we could see a VR headset for the device sometime this year. It would be incredible to see characters such as Mario, Yoshi, Kamek, and Bowser in the virtual reality world. But lets hope Nintendo’s VR foray into VR isn’t just a gimmick like Sony’s with the PlayStation VR headset.
