Excellent. I don't think Kirby including all collectibles (including medals + challenges here) is as easy as you say, though. Not all of it, at least.
How long is just the main game in comparison?
Thanks Yosh!!

Big time! Even Chibi-Robo's levels have been better than 90% of the garbage in 100 Mario Challenge.
SMM is probably still my GOTY so far, however. Creating levels is just sublime.

I cannot say exactly, because I always go for 100% with Nintendo platformers right away. However, the level count is (if you consider this a spoiler stop reading here):
6 worlds of 8 levels each
7 unlockable levels on top of that
If you only try to complete the story, you only need to play 48 levels, each lasting, without collecting, probably around 5-10 minutes. Assuming you are a fantastic player who never dies, we'd end up at around 480 minutes (for the 10 minute estimate), so 4 hours?

Cool. Good to know I'm only missing Falco then.
As a note, the Blue Yarn, Pink Yarn, Green Yarn (default) and regular/plastic Yoshi are unlocked a bit different. While the others can be unlocked at any moment and in the hut; since those are from the Yoshi amiibo, you have to scan the amiibo as you play. Then will appear on the hut to change at any time.
So do you mind if I update the OP with this new album? xD

Heh yeah, just change the URL from the old to new. I don't think it will change again.
I just beat the first world and oh man, this is so good so far. The special level is up there with Tropical Freeze in terms of quality.
Do the transformation sections ever lose the time limit and get integrated into the levels more naturally like in Kirby's Epic Yarn? If not are there any levels devoted to the transformations?

They're always a seperate time-limited section, and there aren't any levels which are pure transformation either.

Dang. The motorcycle and umbrella could make really good levels.
Took and look and took a photo:
It has both, actually - a UPC and a "not for resale" mention.
Thank you very much. I bought the bundle, but have yet to open it. I am thinking it is not worth the extra $17 for the Amiibo, so I may just go buy the standalone game. I dislike "not for resale" packaging, so this is an extra incentive.
What does the box mean by "save your favourite in-game designs"? I noticed that the package has read/write Amiibo functionality. Can you customize your Yoshi and save it to the Amiibo?
Never mind, I think I understand. You simply save an already unlocked pattern to the figure and can activate it in coop. I wish the digital manual was online somewhere. In coop, can you choose your pattern, or does it require Amiibo?
I just scanned over the first five and the last five pages and no one mentions Amiibo, outside of people trying to unlock outfits. Does no one use Amiibo for any other purpose?

This game oozes so much charm. My cheeks are starting to hurt from smiling so much and I'm only partly through world 1.

Played up to 1-5.
Good-Feel's still got it! The level design is great and that music! Really impressed so far.

So how does America feel about Wooly World?
I've got credit to get one game from gamestop and I'm shuffling this, rebuying gta 5 to finish it or get nba2k16. Gonna be a touch choice. Love me some top tier platforming

Man those are sweet. I wonder if my store will have any when I go to pick the game up later (heh).

So do that, and then it will appear in the amiibo hut.
I just acquired the standalone retail version. I'll either return or sell my bundle. I watched a few videos and read some articles and from what I can tell, the yarn Yoshi Amiibo do virtually nothing in this game. They allow you to have a "double", which is basically just a cheat to have a Yoshi you can throw if you aren't playing coop. Not worth $20 at all. Amiibo are generally just "toys" with some minor functionality, but these yarn ones are almost strictly bought for looks.
Just read the manual. You can't even save designs when in coop mode, and tapping Amiibo during the game only affects player 1. So, it appears the game just straight up handles a second player as someone controlling the Yoshi double. Disappointing, but saved me some ducats. I was considering going all in on the yarn Amiibo if my daughter and girlfriend could save and load designs to their own Amiibo. At this point, I wonder why Nintendo even bothers adding any functionality. They should just sell toys.

Actually it's a bit different than most traditional platformers in 2-player mode. One of the players can swallow and shoot the other player, which can be used for different things (like shooting one player up to a difficult-to-reach place).

Amiibo for Woolly World is pointless? Thanks... you just saved me $20. I don't really care for the "toy" aspect of amiibos either.

Happy to see the rest of you getting to play this finally. It's such a nice little game with a beautiful graphics and full of nice warm feelings. Had a great time playing it through in co-op last summer. I'm still missing a few collectibles in some levels and should get back to it one of these days.

When reentering a level to look for Flowers, Yarn, and Stamps, do you have to get everything all over again or can you single out what you're hunting for?
liking it a lot so far! there were only 2 things coming to my mind while playing this:
1) I wish the wii u had higher resolution textures. the game is pretty but maaan.
2) did yoshi always jump/fall so fast?
I got my copy from amazon but they never even had the bundle for sale. I really wanted an amiibo of the yarn yoshi too so im pretty sad
edit: oh fucking sure now the bundle is in stock. why do i bother pre ordering shit T___T

Just what you missed. I've missed one yarn in the last 2 stages I played, re-played them, especifically grabbed what I missed and finished it.
What you got will be marked already on screen.
Felt compelled to point out 480 minutes is 8 hours
Appreciate all the info though. Looking forward to my copy arriving today.

Just booted this up and cleared World 1, including the unlockable 1-S. And... good lord, 1-S. My hands need a break after all that infinite flutter jumping.
I was a little concerned about difficulty tuning going in given Kirby's Epic Yarn (beautiful, sublime to listen to, but with no middle ground between the plodding, forgiving traversal and the extremity of collecting everything), but in the space of nine stages this game has washed away all my doubts about Good-Feel. I'm very impressed with how quickly the game becomes interesting and rewarding to veteran players.
I'm less impressed with the fussiness of spotting and collecting the Miiverse stamp fragments, but thankfully, that's the least consequential unlockable apart from completing stages at full health. I can already see that I'm likely to take the other two collectibles to 100%, if I can.
Obviously I'm still very early in the experience, but I think this is a game that captures many of the same satisfactions as Tropical Freeze for the mid-level player in terms of pacing, inventiveness, and aesthetic pleasure. I don't expect it to touch DKCTF in terms of tightness of design for expert play (Hard Mode and the K-levels made that game, and its accommodations for speed runners are remarkable to watch in action even if you aren't a speed runner yourself), but it's a welcome addition to what is already the most stacked 2D platformer library on any system since the SNES.

Well, it's damn good. That much is certain. The level design is really good and it's fun. Presentation (visuals/music) is superb as usual. Can't say much more until I'm further in, but so far it's pretty great.

Wish I had a Wii U so I could play this today but for now it'll have to sit on my shelf until I do. I like what I'm reading in this thread so far (haven't been in here before).

Can Yarn Yoshi not give you the Yoshi Amiibo costume?
OMG, FINALLY. Played up to 1-3 (anyone know where that final flower & Miiverse stamp is?) & rather liking it. They somehow managed to out-cute Kirby's Epic Yarn.
Speaking of cute, DAT AMIIBO. I didn't want Mega Yarn Yoshi because of the price & now being TRU exclusive, but oh man, I want one just to hug.

I was right about the stamp I was missing being very obvious.
Nope. The three Yarn Yoshi amiibo give you different costumes. What color Yoshi you start with is determined by which save file you pick, so the Yarn Yoshi amiibo give you the colors you didn't choose and a version of the one you did choose that hangs around in the amiibo hut.

I think Mario Tennis will have him in as the Executive Producer as well.
