Yoshi's Woolly World is a side-scrolling platformer video game developed by Good-Feel and published by Nintendo for the Wii U.The game is the seventh main entry in the Yoshi series of games, the first home console title in the series since 1997's Yoshi's Story, as well as the spiritual successor to 2010's Kirby's Epic Yarn.
Yoshi’s Woolly World is out in Europe on Friday (Americans will have to wait until October for it). Now the review embargo‘s passed I can tell you it’s one of the most beautiful, charming games you’ll play this generation.
One of my favourite features in in the game is the ability to unlock unique costumes (well, wool patterns) for Yoshi by scanning amiibo figures on the Wii U GamePad at any time.
When you scan one, Yoshi’s wool colour changes so he looks like the character you scanned. This costume is then unlocked for good and selectable at any point (meaning you can scan a friend’s amiibo, as with the Mario Kart 8 costumes).
As someone who’s a bit of an amiibo addict, I’ve scanned every single one released in Europe to date, except for the Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl from Splatoon. Turns out they all work, except for the Pokemon ones (which I’d imagine is down to The Pokemon Company not wanting its characters involved in that way).
Below, then, is what almost every Yoshi design looks like when you scan the corresponding amiibo.
Now, I’d love to have put together a massive image gallery which would have looked all lovely, or put together a compilation video like others are doing, but I’m also a strong believer in not spoiling surprises for people and there’s a chance you have some amiibo but not others, and so only want to see what Yoshi looks like for the amiibo you don’t have.
Because of this, I’ve gone for a simple list instead. Click the character name to see a picture of the amiibo. It’s a more boring way of presenting it, but it’s also a safer way.
There are four new amiibo released in the UK on Friday: Palutena, Dark Pit, Zero Suit Samus and Ganondorf. I’ve got them on order so when they turn up I’ll add them to this list.
Reminder: It should go without saying that these could be considered spoilers. If you have any of these amiibo, I’d recommend not clicking their pictures so you can have the excitement of scanning them and discovering the costume yourself.

Finally, you may know that there’s also a special Yarn Yoshi amiibo coming out that generates a second Yoshi if you scan it. But what happens if you scan a normal Yoshi amiibo instead? Again, consider this a spoiler warning, but observe.
Set off with a friend* through a wild, woolly world in this grand Yoshi™ adventure! A treasure trove of clever handicraft stages are ready for you to explore. Unravel their secrets and color your world with a spectrum of yarn balls to knit new paths and get every last collectible.
Knitting yarn, patchwork, and other handicraft materials combine into a whimsical and crafty backdrop for our knit Yoshi to explore. Instead of eggs, this time Yoshi tosses yarn balls that he can use to clear blocked paths, tangle-up enemies, or even knit together platforms and warp pipes. Yoshi can also tug at stray yarn to unravel walls and reveal hard-to-reach areas filled with hidden collectibles. Tackle challenges in local 2-Player co-op by partnering up with a friend. Gobble 'em up and spit 'em out to reach new heights or take out craftwork creepers like paratroopas, piranha plants and shy guys! It's time to get crafty.
