Woolly World (ヨッシー ウールワールド,Yoshi Wool World) is astage based onYoshi's Woolly World that appears inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. The level follows the fabric-like aesthetic of the game it is themed from. It was first spotted in theOctober 2014 50-Fact Extravaganza, and then officially unveiled in the Director's Room on November 6. On the Miiverse post revealing the stage, directorMasahiro Sakurai noted that the stage was added to the game late in development.
Stage overview[edit]
The stage starts in a felt hill area, with a windmill and trees in the background. Clouds and a rocket make up the platforms, and they teeter depending on theweights of the fighters on them. After some time, the stage warns the players that the stage will transition, and the level moves into the sky. The ground disappears, and the only ground the fighters can stand on are the clouds and rocket. The stage transitions into a third area, coming back down to the ground. The area is different, consisting of toy blocks. After this, the ground disappears as the stage takes to the sky; here, the background changes to show various blocks and clouds and even a rainbow wheel. Like in the second phase, the clouds and rocket, plus the scale that balances them are the only platforms the stage has. After this, the stage transitions back to the beginning felt hill area.
Ω form[edit]
The Ω form is set in the "Knitty Knotty Windmill Hill" section of the stage; it will not change into any other form. Smaller platforms and walk-off areas are removed.
Origin[edit]
This stage is based onYoshi's Woolly World, a game that has an aesthetic resembling handmade wool dolls - unlikeYoshi's Story andYoshi Topsy-Turvy, where Yoshi's Island was turned into a homemade looking version byBowser as part of the plot's conflict,Woolly World revolves around a tribe of woolen Yoshis who live on Craft Island, a paradise in the middle of the Handmade Ocean. In the game, the Yoshis must retrieve bundles of yarn to restore their unraveled friends after being scattered by Baby Bowser and Kamek. The Yarn Yoshis have a very similar moveset to the Yoshis of previousYoshi games, but will shapeshift for certain maneuvers - such as turning their feet into wheels to move faster and turning their torso into a drum for aGround Pound - and lay and throw balls of yarn instead of eggs.
The areas of this stage are combined from multiple levels inWoolly World. The background of the initial area is based on World 1-5,Knitty-Knotty Windmill Hill. The mobile-like platforms above the ground which persist into the sky section of the stage are based on World 3-2,Wobble Mobile Jaunt; the second landing area also resembles that stage.
Yoshi's Woolly World was released several months after the release ofSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, making this stage currently the only instance in theSmash series of a stage based on a then-unreleased title (Super Mario Maker andGarreg Mach Monastery were also based off games released after theSuper Smash Bros. title they debuted in, but weren’t added as DLC until after the game they were based on released).
Update history[edit]
1.0.6
- Added 8-player mode version of the stage's Ω form.
Tournament legality[edit]
This stage is banned from tournaments due to it containing walk-off blast lines, which encourage camping and allow for early KOs. The stage also forces players to fight on the platforms created by the clouds and rocket, which makes gameplay very difficult.

Trivia[edit]
- Woolly World'sstage prefix uses the beta logo forYoshi's Woolly World, as the game's final logo was not revealed until afterSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U was released.
- Prior to renamingYoshi's Island (SSB) to Super Happy Tree inUltimate, this was the only stage from theYoshi universe to not contain "Yoshi" in its name.
- When setting aPitfall in place on this stage, it can be seen that the ground where it is set makes it somewhat visible due to the ground being "pressed on" when someone or something is on it.
- When an extreme amount of weight is pressed on the platforms, the platforms may occasionally "snap", the top platform will be tilted so low that the rocket and cloud will go through it.
- Woolly World is one of five stages fromSuper Smash Bros for Wii U not to return inUltimate, the others beingOrbital Gate Assault,Pyrosphere,Jungle Hijinxs andMiiverse.
