Yoshi's Woolly World is the first Yoshi game to be on a home console since the Nintendo 64. This game has a yarn art style, similar to Kirby's Epic Yarn. The gameplay is very similar to the Yoshi's Island games, but without any whiny babies to carry and chase after. Thank goodness!

The game received a port for the Nintendo 3DS, aptly titled Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, which added even more amiibo and the ability to create custom Yarn Yoshi skins, among other extras.

To do:
  • Look in the .gfa files for all of the unused content. There's also a lot of leftover trial and demo stuff to look into as well.
  • 54 levels with the string 'test' in the name

Unused Map Data

Skip navigation Sign in.

Test Map Data

mapdata has 42 archives for test maps. This seems to be used to test out various things such as engine rendering.

Epic Yarn Map Data

In mapdataepic_yarn_kirby, there are 78 stages which quite obviously belong to Kirby's Epic Yarn. However, these might be the files that contain the coordinates of certain map objects à la Super Mario 3D World, or XML-styled formatting.

Test Levels

To do:
More test levels can be accessed by editing worlddata.txt in /data/

TESTMAP004

TEST_MORI

A simple stage with a few objects placed around. The stage appears impossible to complete, due to missing objects being replaced with placeholders.

TEST_UV_REGULATION_X4

This stage appears to be a slightly different version of the stage that was shown in Nintendo Direct 23 January 2013. Objects are missing from the stage and are instead replaced with placeholders, most likely due to the object data being missing from the game. It's not possible to complete the stage, as you can't travel to the other side. The level may also lack a goal ring entirely.

MAP001_MARUTA_MASTER

One of the more detailed unused stages in the game. It appears that Yoshi would have been able to switch between the foreground and background at least once during this stage, but due to missing objects, it's impossible to do so, and as such not possible to complete the stage.

TESTMAP009_SHADERTEST01

Test Folder

In the root of the game, there is a test folder full of objects, shaders, and some Miiverse stamps. Shaders and Miiverse stamps are split into two different folders called shader and body_memo_sample.

Shader

There are three test shaders within this directory.

  • simple.gsh
  • simple_fragment.gsh
  • simple_vertex.gsh

body_memo_sample

This directory seems to have been used for testing out the Miiverse features, such as stamps. While the final game does have stamps, these are done in a very different style. The folder also has .tga and.gtx versions of the stamps, along with an SDK tool for converting .tga images to .gtx called tga2gtxTEstTool.bat (sic). There is also a very humorous drawing of a Swapnote envelope with a body saying 'Hi'.

memo.tga

stamp_73.tga and stamp_73.gtx

stamp_80.tga and stamp_80.gtx

Character Test Data

In charatest, there is leftover data for a test character. It may have been used for animation testing of some sort according to the archive size of TESTANIM00.gfa being around 2.4mb in size.

Coins

Located at /test/tr_coin_yellow and /test/tr_coin_red are models for the coins and the red coins like the ones found in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Sequenced sounds exist for the objects in the bfsar.

120 - SD_REDCOIN01 to 129 - SD_REDCOIN10











194 - SD_COIN1

There are no other SD_COIN_x sounds.

(Sound Rips: Hiccup)

Unused Jingles

There are two unused sequenced jingles.

108 - WSD_StageClrDemo

An early stage clear jingle.

109 - WSD_LODING

An early loading theme.

Early Pause Menu

To do:
Get this menu working (if it even can still be loaded) so both pause menus can be compared.

Contained in env/in_game/pause_old.gfa is an older version of the in-level pause menu. This older variant contains a few early versions of existing graphics used in-game.

Unused Color Correction Parameter Scripts

TEST_KURAOKA_000.txt

Used for testing, it does not use a texture for filter.

TEST_KURAOKA_001.txt

Used for testing, it uses LutTest.gtx.

Unused Light Parameters Scripts

There is a hefty batch of 25 unused light parameter scripts for various test levels. Ranging from environment mapping, stages with UV scrolling, and other render methods such as photo realism.

Revision

Other Text Files

data_gfa_convert.bat in the game root is a batch file probably used by Good-Feel to create a .gfa file, in this case, data.gfa.

sound/SoundDisableCallFrame.bson has text in it. The single kanji in this file (found on line 6) simply means 'Wednesday'.

Regional Differences

To do:
Any more?

Despite the fact that the American version was released four months after all other versions and unlike more recent Nintendo games which had two completely different English translations, the American and Australian/European versions have only minor textual differences.

Text

Australia/Europe
North America
FINE! Burt, hitch up your trousers and
GO BUST UP THAT YOSHI!
FINE! Burt, hitch up your pants and
GO BUST UP THAT YOSHI!

This change was necessary because 'pants' refers to outerwear in American English and underwear in British English. Even though the American meaning is used in Australia, the British English version of the line is still used; however, 'trousers' is technically still not incorrect.

Yoshi Design Names

A handful of Yoshi Design names differ between the American and European versions:

To do:
Check the Japanese version.

Candyfloss YoshiCotton Candy Yoshi
Duck Hunt Duo YoshiDuck Hunt Yoshi

Sonic the Hedgehog YoshiSonic Yoshi
Wii U YoshiWii U Deluxe Yoshi

Scrapbook

The scrapbook option has different names across regions.

Australia/EuropeJapanNorth America
Scrapbook TheatreMemory Theater (おもいでシアター)Scrapbook Theater

In addition to all the enemies except Kamek having separate names for the Japanese localization, one entry was altered even in English.

Yoshi Wooly World Monde 2-3

Australia/EuropeJapanNorth America
Giant Nep-EnutBig Unbaba (blue) (ビッグウンババ(あお))Nep-Enut

The red and blue variations of this enemy were previously translated as Gargantua Blargg and simply Nep-Enut respectively in English localizations of the Yoshi's Island series. The European localizers apparently didn't notice that no small version of a Nep-Enut exists in this game, or in any Yoshi game for that matter. This was caught by the North American release.

Internal Project Name

Yoshi wooly world 2-3 middle yarn

Yoshi's Woolly World's project name is Merino according to the game's text archive. Merino is a sheep breed that is commonly used for their wool.
