A few more details about amiibo usage in Yoshi’s Woolly World
Nintendo has shared additional details about how amiibo work in Yoshi’s Woolly World.
The company previously announced that you’ll be able to unlock Yoshi patterns based on characters like Mario and Donkey Kong. Although not every amiibo can unlock a pattern relating to the character, you’ll still be able to dress up Yoshi in new styles. That means Pikachu, Charizard, Greninja, Jigglypuff, and Lucario do work with the game after all. They just won’t unlock patterns based on the Pokemon.
All three Yarn Yoshi amiibo can be used to save your favorite pattern. The two Yoshi amiibo from the Smash Bros. and Super Mario series unlock Double Yoshi (just not one made of yarn).
