Yoshi's Woolly World / local co-op and Special Course preparation
Yoshi's Woolly World local co-op and Special Course preparation
Coordinate two Yoshis and prepare for checkpoint-free challenges.
Edition covered
Original 2015 Wii U game. This guide covers two-player local co-op and Wii U collectibles; Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World on Nintendo 3DS has additional and changed features.
Play with two local Yoshis

A second player can join with a supported controller. Coordinate the camera and direction before separating across a wide gap.
| Action | Benefit | Agreement |
|---|---|---|
| Partner throw | Reach height or distance | Choose landing before launch |
| Split collection | Cover nearby rewards | Keep both players on camera |
| One player fights | Other searches | Clear the immediate threat first |
| Mellow flight | Ease difficult movement | Set the pace together |
Use partner throws intentionally
A Yoshi can swallow and throw the other. This can reach an awkward collectible, but an unexpected throw can ruin a careful jump.
| Goal | Requirement | Preparation |
|---|---|---|
| World Special Course | All world flowers | Complete missing stage slots |
| Special Course clear | Survive without checkpoints | Practice risky sections |
| Wonderful World of Wool | Flowers in other courses | Check all world records |
| Full stage record | Collections and health | Use a dedicated cleanup run |
Unlock Special Courses with flowers
Each world’s full flower set reveals its extra challenge. These courses remove the normal checkpoint safety net.
Finish other flower sets for Craft Island
Wonderful World of Wool opens after collecting the flowers from the other courses. Treat it as a final collection challenge after the six worlds.
