Kirby's Epic Yarn is a 2D platformer for Wii that blends classic
Kirby gameplay with new abilities, functionality and more.
Kirby's first console platform game since the Nintendo 64 days,
Kirby's Epic Yarn introduces an amazing new look based on
animated yarn and a world of cloth and textiles. The creative
approach is woven directly into the gameplay and allows the
ever-morphing Kirby to take on a variety of new forms. It's a
one-of-a-kind platformer that lets players explore high and low
for hidden objects, experience fun adventure and even join with a
second player in a co-op play mode.
Kirby Offers a New Take on String Theory
----------------------------------------
Kirby's tendency for gobbling up items has set off another chain
events. This time it has to do with an odd looking tomato-like
object. Looking utterly delicious, down it goes. The problem is
that it belongs to an evil wizard who reacts by sending Kirby to
another dimension where everything, and everyone, even Kirby, are
made of yarn. But that is a decision that the Wizard may yet
regret, as Kirby joins forces with new friends in the strange
land to unravel the plot of the wizard.
A Kirby gameplay experience like none before it.

Gameplay
--------
Like all Kirby games, Epic Yarn is a side-scrolling platformer,
but gameplay is different in this adventure. In its gameworld,
everything is made of yarn or fabric, including Kirby and the
game levels themselves. Kirby is of course pursued by the minions
of the evil wizard that sent him to the gameworld, but in this
world Kirby does not swallow enemies to dispatch them. Instead he
uses a whip of yarn to stun them. Curled into the shape of a yarn
ball, he can then toss them at additional enemies and/or
obstacles. Kirby's movements are different as well. He no longer
floats the way he did in previous games. Instead he glides in
parachute form, or takes the shape of vehicles such as a train, a
top, a truck, a UFO, a tank and others that are appropriate for
the challenge at hand. Throughout the gameplay area are hidden
beads, that if maintained, maximize points. There are also hidden
levels that are revealed as Kirby pulls on zippers and loose
threads encountered. Standard level progression is achieved via a
series of patches that players receive on completion of levels.
These are added to a tapestry by Kirby which results in the next
level being revealed. The game also features two-player co-op
through the entire game in which the second player takes on the
role of an additional character from the game and works together
with Kirby to access new areas.
