Sheesh how long has it been? Feels like forever since I reviewed a game. But I'm back and this time I went through this underrated game. I don't see people talk about this in depth or really ever a lot so it was nice to playthrough something a little less popular. Something like that.

Wolly World is basically a spiritual successor to the original game on the SNES, except this time there's no babies to worry about. I guess that's one plus. The game follows the same format with 6 worlds that have 8 main levels each. Some levels are fast paced and others are a little slower or more puzzle orientated. Something I will say though is that I think that Yoshi's Island had more preferable level design for me. At first this game was ok, but when I reached world 2 I started getting doubts. Levels like the chain chomp focused ones were boring and I started becoming less interested. However when I got to world 3 the quality for me turned up. I was pleasantly surprised with the levels because they were actually really fun. Maybe that's cause they were levels I got to play for the first time since I did try out this game like 2 years ago but only made it to world 2. Still though, I was having way more fun. The game kept this pacing for the most part all the way to the end after that. I still do think that I like the first game's levels over this one more.

Another thing that I wanna talk about is the game's music and graphics. WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT A YOSHI GAME OF ALL GAMES HAS DNB IN IT?! That was crazy to me, and it was dynamic too since it was a boss fight. The entire OST in general is filled with so much charm and I find it to be easily underappreciated. Knitty Knotty Windmill only shows up in 2 levels which sucks cause that track alone feels so nostalgic. Lava Scarves is another surprise with something metal focused. There's just so much variety and it works so well. And when you add that up with the game's art style, you get an amazing package. The hand carfted graphics of this look so charming and honestly just kind of cute. That along with the skins you can get, though I will admit I feel like I only geared towards some, but hey the customization is nice, and adds incentive to go for the yarn pieces.

Do I like this as much as SMW2? Nah. Do I think it's a worthy successor? Absolutely. The game is a charming and adorable experience. It's nothing crazy, especially as a sequel, but I think that it deserves a shot. Especially if you already liked Yoshi's Island.
