A new preview from Nintendo Life contains a bunch of fresh details about Yoshi’s Woolly World. We’ve rounded up the information below.

– Traditional health bar

– Yoshi takes damage as you’d expect him to

– Recover health by collecting hearts that are like the jumping star collectables from previous Yoshi games

– Yoshi’s tongue is the main method of taking down enemies

– Yoshi unravels them and turns them into balls of wool

– Use eggs to bind larger enemies made of materials other than wool, create warp pipes, boxes, platforms, and many other parts of the world to help Yoshi achieve his goal

– Uncover hidden areas simply by unraveling them via a loose bow

– Doing so reveals secret passageways or hidden items

– The game has dozens of hidden items

– This includes Flowers, new items such as Beads that have replaced the traditional coins, Stamp Patches that are hidden within certain Beads, and Wonder Wools

– Flowers: allow you to achieve 100% in a stage and access a mini-game to garner more Beads

– Beads are used as a generic currency and can be used to buy special badges that can assist you in a level

– Stamp Patches: used to unlock Stamps to use on Miiverse once a certain amount have been collected

– Wonder Wools: collect all five in a level to unlock a new Yoshi design to use throughout any and every level should you so desire

– Designs include Flower Yoshi, Circus Yoshi, one that’s based upon the Shy Guy enemy

– Yoshi has different transformations: umbrella, a mole, a giant version of himself, and a motorbike

– Transformations happen a few times in each world

– They task you with reaching a goal within a certain time limit, or face having to restart it all again

– Mellow Mode: control Winged Yoshi whose Flutter Jump is replaced by the ability to float at Yoshi’s current height indefinitely

– Still take damage in Mellow Mode

– Can still fail in this mode as well

– Can have a friend join in the fun as a second Yoshi

– If you run out of wool in multiplayer, one Yoshi can be used as a short-range substitute
