Top 10 Predictions for Yoshi's Crafted World

I think this is the most obvious and likely prediction on the list. The first Yoshi game, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, had a total of six worlds. So did Yoshi's Story and Yoshi's Woolly World, which are part of the same Yoshi platform series as Yoshi's Crafted World. There's no doubt that this game will have six worlds as well. Sure, if we're lucky, we may get eight or seven worlds (seven if a bonus world is included), but so far I think it'll just have six worlds.

EDIT: Looks like I was wrong... we have SIXTEEN worlds!

It's no surprise that many Nintendo Switch games may not rely heavily on motion controls, but they often include some sort of motion-control gimmicks. Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Party, and Mario Tennis Aces all had them, in different ways. I would not be surprised if motion controls were put in this game as well.

EDIT: Surprisingly, that didn't make it in.

The music in Yoshi's Woolly World is some of my favorite video game soundtracks of all time, mainly because of the cute and calm tone they have and the nostalgia they evoke. A lot of the music there is just beyond excellent in my opinion. In the first trailer of this game, there was a soundtrack that kind of sounded similar to the songs from Woolly World, likely the soundtrack for the first level. I think the rest will have a similar type of soundtrack as well, and I certainly hope so.

EDIT: Well, half-right, half-wrong. While it mostly has a similar safe style, it's more "snooze" than "cute."

If you look at the cover art for the game, you'll mostly see a World 1-like scenery with a house and rail, possibly the first world in the game. However, if you look higher up, you'll see a rather dark blue background with planets, stars, and a rocket. World 3 from Yoshi's Woolly World did have a level with a space theme, including rockets and plush suns, but the world itself was cloud-themed. I really hope this game will have a space-themed world, as it would be very interesting and original.

EDIT: Woohoo, a correct prediction!

In the first trailer of the game released at E3 in 2017, we saw an overworld level with grass and other details, including a railway with a train. In the same trailer, we saw a purple train resembling a dragon, likely a boss battle. Notice how I mentioned space and rockets in the "There'll Be A Space World" item? Well, I think all the worlds will be centered around basic Mario worlds, but also include vehicle themes. Maybe a desert world could have bus stations or drills, referencing Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros., one of my favorite Mario games. I surely think this.

EDIT: Hmm, not so much in the end, though.

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if this actually happened. Super Mario Odyssey received the Balloon World game mode and costumes for the player at times after the game was released. Mario Tennis Aces received a new character each month after the game was released, and even other Nintendo games like Splatoon 2 and Arms received DLC after their releases. Super Mario Party hasn't received any DLC yet, but there hasn't been a Nintendo Direct (excluding the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct from November 1st, 2018) since the game's release. So, I would not be surprised if they announced DLC for that game in the next Direct, and this game will surely receive DLC later on after it's released.

EDIT: This game followed Super Mario Party's route - no DLC.

At the moment, the Yoshi colors that exist are Green, Red, Blue, Light-Blue, Yellow, Pink, Orange, Purple, Brown, Black, and White. All of them, excluding Brown, Black, and White Yoshi, have been confirmed to be playable in the game. However, maybe another Yoshi color will be added. Maybe gray or teal? That would certainly be a pleasure if you ask me.

EDIT: Looks like Nintendo went old-school.

This would be quite a cool twist if you ask me. In most Yoshi games, Kamek is the main antagonist, and he raised Baby Bowser, who is usually the last boss. However, I think it would be quite cool if Baby Bowser matured in this game and maybe betrayed Kamek, similar to betrayals in games like Super Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. I would really appreciate such a twist.

EDIT: Meh... they went the safe route.

It surely will be! As it is a sequel to Yoshi's Woolly World (which is one of my favorite video games of all time), there's no doubt this will end up being another masterpiece! The main difference is that this game focuses on cardboard, while the predecessor focused on wool and similar materials.

EDIT: Of all things... this was wrong. Well... it's good but so much wasted potential.

Seeing as the main theme for this game is cardboard, and Nintendo Labo involves games played using cardboard, known as Toy-Cons, I wouldn't be surprised if it either referenced it or was playable with Toy-Cons. However, I'm not entirely sure, as it would require the developers to be very creative in figuring out how it would work.

EDIT: THIS of all things didn't make it...
