<p>Mario&#8217;s loyal green steed is getting bigger by the day and we don&#8217;t just mean that metaphorically. The star of Yoshi&#8217;s Woolly World is getting an even bigger version of the amiibo plushes that were announced earlier this spring.</p>
<p>While the smaller Yarn Yoshi amiibo will be on store shelves this<strong> Oct. 16th</strong> in North America for $16.99, the larger Yarn Yoshi amiibo will be available a few weeks later on <strong>Nov. 15th</strong> for $39.99.<em> Yoshi’s Wooly World</em> will cost $49.99 alone, but the game will be included in a bundle with a small, green Yarn Yoshi amiibo for $59.99. The smaller Yarn Yoshi amiibo will be available in blue, green, and pink while the big Yarn Yoshi amiibo only comes in green.</p>

<p>Big or small, all of the Yarn Yoshi amiibo will provide the same in-game functionality, bringing a second Yoshi into the game by tapping the plush amiibo on the Wii U gamepad’s NFC reader will activate &#8220;Double Yoshi.&#8221; Players will also be able to save their favorite Yoshi pattern to the amiibo. The news follows Nintendo&#8217;s announcement of its holiday release schedule for both the Wii U and 3DS.</p>
<p><em>Yoshi’s Wooly World</em> may be old news already in some corners of the world, having already seen release on the Wii U this past June and July in Europe and Japan. It&#8217;s still more than a month until North Americans will be playing it this <strong>Oct. 16th, </strong>meanwhile.</p>
