Yoshi's Woolly World was one of our favourite games on the Wii U, partly because you can't go wrong with a nice dose of Yoshi cuteness, but also largely because of its truly wonderful soundtrack.
The man behind many of our fondest musical memories in that game, composer Tomoya Tomita, has his very own YouTube channel, and fans of the game have been treated to something of a Christmas miracle today. Seemingly out of the blue, Tomita has shared a huge selection of tracks that weren't in the final build of the game, and some of them are even accompanied by gameplay footage.
You should definitely head over to his YouTube channel if you're interested in hearing all of them, but we've gathered just a few for you below:
There's something really cool about seeing or hearing things that never made it into your favourite games, so this is quite the treasure trove of hidden delights.
Let us know which tracks turn out to be your favourites with a comment below.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Switch port of this game.
Aaw wow thats brilliant! I really love the soundtrack to Yoshi's Story too though (especially the Yoshi 'singing' haha)
@sanderev I doubt we'll get a port, sadly. Its too similar to Yoshi crafted World
Seriously, this game needs a Switch port. Yoshi's Crafted World has nothing on this one. Oh, and all these tracks are really good!
@sanderev I have a switch and Wii U. We keep going back to Woolly World more than Crafted World. Both are excellent, but the textures and level design for this game feel more compelling.
I was about to say no thanks until I realised I was thinking of the wrong Yoshi game 😆
As much as it would be great to have it on Switch, it would mean the Wii U would be becoming more redundant and that makes me sad that there are few unique games left on the old failure of a system that I still love
That's the kind of music that the Switch Yoshi game needed. The soundtrack of the Switch Yoshi game is probably one of my biggest disappointments in my video game play history.
Can't wait to hear the Flintstones remix.
I was gonna say how different this sounds from the songs that made it in, but then I realized that this was not the Switch game I played. Personally, I hate the soundtrack to Yoshi's Crafted World and would much prefer something like this.
@Toads-Friend Yeah, I doubt it as well... But nevertheless I wouldn't mind
Given how awesome the music is I definetely will give them a listen!
Tomoya Tomita doesn't get as much credit as I think he deserves. His soundtracks are all well-crafted, but are still varied. Hopefully, as a freelancer, he can still work on some new Nintendo projects.
I also vastly prefer Woolly World to Crafted - they dumbed that game down to the point of being boring.
Crafted World was probably the most forgettable game I played this year. That doesn't mean it's bad, it just didn't stick with me like pretty much every other game I played
@sanderev I have been crossing my fingers for one!
I haven't played Wooly World, but I loved every aspect of Crafted World, so this would seem to be a no brainer on a port purchase from me.
Music in the new Crafted world is awful. A few good tracks, like in the space level. But most of it is so so bad!
This is how the sound track should play out.
Also I second that woolly is a prettier game than crafted. I play on a 92 in projector screen and Yoshi's crafted world has lots of video quality issues, and lots of stair stepping everywhere. I feel like crafted world is a great game gameplay wise but they really screwed up the visuals.
@NintoRich I feel the same about Wii U ports. Seems like there's not many unique games left.
@justin233 Agreed, the level design in crafted world is pretty boring to me. Wooly World wasn't hard by any means but it had some massive challenges for the special worlds if you wanted all of the special items.
Very underrated game that deserves to be on a more popular system.
@Toads-Friend I could say the same thing for Xenoblade Chronicles. lol
@Noid Yes! The first unreleased song had me thinking of Silvagunner
Huh... I thought he’d already done that... guess not though
If there was some music from this game going spare, they should have given it to Crafted World.
#6 and #9 suit the game really well.
It goes to show that most movies and games will have scores that never reach our ears. There must be countless songs lost on the cutting room floor. But unlike deleted scenes, they never get shown on the DVD or soundtrack.
I like how pretty much every stage has it's own music. Truly my favorite second yoshi game.
Unfortunately I couldn't play it entirely on Wii U, but been playing it on 3DS and is really nice. Got some more Yoshi game craving after 100% YI GBA and this one has provided.
I couldnt buy yoshi on switch.. the music was so ....... bad... the demo helped make that decision. I needs me a game with good music
Oh this is great! I loved Wooly world, mostly because of its amazing soundtrack! (and because it's the best co-op game I ever played)
I works have kept these for games to come ^_^
