Yoshi's Crafted World is a side-scrolling platform video
game developed by Good-Feel and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch.
The eighth main installment in the Yoshi franchise, the game was revealed at E3
2017, had a delay in 2018 and was released worldwide on March 29, 2019. The
game sold 1.11 million copies worldwide in three days, making it one of the
best-selling games on the system.
Gameplay:
The game is a side-scrolling platformer where 3D characters
are moved on a 2.5D plane. The player is also able to move and interact in a
3rd dimension, with travel forwards and backwards enabled in sections of
levels, and the ability to throw eggs at scenery and other elements of the
foreground and background. Outside of this new mechanic, the game plays similar
to prior Yoshi games, where the player may use Yoshi's tongue to eat enemies or
other objects, turn them into eggs, and throw them outwardly into the level.
The game features a two-player multiplayer mode, where each player maneuvers
their own Yoshi through the game's levels.
Synopsis:
The story begins with the Yoshis, who live peacefully on Yoshi's
Island. At the topmost peak of the island sits a gem-set artifact known as the
Sundream Stone, which possesses the power to "make anyone's wildest dreams
come true". One day, when Kamek and Baby Bowser attempt to steal the
stone, its gems are sent flying across the world, leaving Yoshi and his friends
to recover them.
For most of the game, the stone rests in a dark forest
guarded by the Yoshis not exploring. When the Yoshis reattach a Dream Gem, the
colors on the actual stone that is the color of the Dream Gem are restored.
During the final level, the Yoshis find the last Dream Gem, only for Kamek and
Baby Bowser to steal it and the Stone with the other four gems. Baby Bowser
then uses the stone to create a robot named The Great King Bowser, the penultimate
boss. After its defeat Kamek uses the stone to grow Baby Bowser giant, which
leads into the final boss fight against Mega Baby Bowser. Afterwards, the
Yoshis reattach the gems (which were detached again after the defeat of Mega
Baby Bowser) and restore the Sundream Stone, which, with the Yoshis' dreams,
creates an airship that is used to fly all of them back to Yoshi's Island. _from Wikipedia
