《毛線卡比 Plus》（英文：Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn，日文：毛糸のカービィ プラス）是任天堂於2019年在3DS平台推出的橫向捲軸動作遊戲，原作則是2010年在Wii上發行的《毛線卡比》(Kirby’s Epic Yarn)。由Good-Feel開發，是Wii版本的加強移植版，除保留原作的核心內容與視覺風格，也針對掌機平台進行優化與擴充，加入新的挑戰模式與額外內容，讓這款風格獨特的「毛線世界」作品在新平台上煥發新生命。

故事的開端非常童話風格。卡比在夢之泉享受美味番茄時，意外被來自毛線世界的魔法生物「因魔爾」（Yin-Yarn）吸入次元裂縫，來到一個一切都由毛線與布料構成的異世界。在那裡，他的身體也變成毛線狀，失去傳統的吸入能力，取而代之的是變形能力。卡比與這個世界的居民「王子毛毛」（Prince Fluff）相遇後，決定一同對抗邪惡的因魔爾，修復被破壞的毛線世界，並尋找返回原來世界的方法。由於卡比失去吸入能力，操作方式也與以往的作品大不相同。他改為使用毛線鞭子進行攻擊與抓取，還能將敵人變成毛球丟出，或者利用環境物件（如拉環、拉鍊、紐扣）觸發機關。還能變身成多種形態，例如汽車、潛水艇、火箭或巨型機器人等，以應對不同的關卡挑戰。這些變形設計既豐富又有創意，成為遊戲的主要特色之一。3DS版本的操作針對掌機進行調整，使用方向鍵與按鍵操作，手感直覺流暢，即使是初次接觸的玩家也能快速上手。

整體遊戲分為多個世界區域，每個世界都有獨特的主題與風格，如草原、火山、雲朵、糖果、玩具箱、音樂國度等，視覺上充滿童趣與創意，搭配細緻的縫紉、毛線、拼布等素材風格，營造出溫馨手工藝氛圍。每個關卡中都設有三件隱藏寶物與一個金幣獎章等待收集，增加探索與重玩價值。在3DS版本中加入兩大新要素。第一是「挑戰模式（Devilish Mode）」，讓每個關卡中都會出現一個名為「惡魔毛球」的新敵人，不斷追蹤卡比並攻擊，增加緊張感與挑戰性。這讓原本偏向輕鬆的節奏增添一定難度，也更吸引習慣高技巧挑戰的玩家。第二是兩個追加迷你遊戲：「迪迪迪的鼓擊節奏」（Dedede Gogogo）與「大王的毛球追擊」（Slash & Bead），讓玩家操作迪迪迪大王與蠟筆騎士，以不同的玩法進行節奏與收集挑戰，豐富內容的多樣性。此外，也支援amiibo功能，能解鎖特殊能力與服裝，例如使用卡比、迪迪迪、蠟筆騎士等角色的amiibo，可為卡比賦予不同能力，如高速衝刺或吸磁能力等，增加變化與趣味。

自推出後，整體評價大多為正面。評論普遍認為遊戲風格清新可愛，手工藝風格的視覺設計在3DS平台上表現出色，即便解析度不及Wii版的家庭電視畫面，卻因為掌機的螢幕尺寸與雙螢幕結構，使畫面顯得更為精緻集中。音樂方面依舊延續系列傳統，旋律輕快、情感豐富，增添不少童話氛圍。不少玩家特別讚賞本作在操作簡化與節奏設計上的用心，適合各年齡層玩家，尤其對兒童或平台遊戲新手而言，是非常友善的入門之作。而挑戰模式與追加迷你遊戲也成功補強原作節奏過於平穩的問題，讓熟悉的玩家能享受新的玩法層次。然而，也有部分評論指出，本作並未完全善用3DS的立體顯示功能，加上不支援雙人遊玩（相較Wii版有合作模式），在互動性與分享樂趣上稍顯不足。此外，對於已遊玩過Wii版本的玩家來說，雖然追加內容有誠意，但整體體驗仍可能略顯重複。

總體來說，這是風格獨特、氣氛溫馨、操作平易近人的橫向捲軸平台遊戲。延續原作的溫柔魅力，又透過新模式與追加內容為老玩家提供新挑戰，無論是系列粉絲還是新玩家，都能在這段毛線織成的奇幻旅程中找到純粹而療癒的樂趣。

Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn (Japanese: 毛糸のカービィ プラス) is a side-scrolling action game released by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS in 2019. The original version of this game, Kirby’s Epic Yarn, was first launched for the Wii in 2010. Developed by Good-Feel, this title is an enhanced port of the Wii version, retaining the original’s core content and visual style while optimizing it for the handheld platform. New challenge modes and additional content were introduced, breathing new life into this charming "yarn world" experience on a new system.

The story begins in a fairy-tale fashion. Kirby is peacefully enjoying a delicious tomato near Dream Land’s Fountain of Dreams when he is suddenly sucked into a dimensional rift by a magical creature from the yarn world named Yin-Yarn. In this alternate world, everything is made of yarn and fabric. Kirby’s body is transformed into yarn as well, causing him to lose his traditional inhaling ability. In its place, he gains new shape-shifting powers. After meeting Prince Fluff, a resident of this world, Kirby decides to team up with him to defeat the evil Yin-Yarn, repair the shattered world of Patch Land, and find a way to return to his own.

Because Kirby has lost his inhaling power, the controls differ greatly from previous titles in the series. Instead, Kirby uses a yarn whip to attack enemies and grab objects, turning foes into yarn balls to throw or interacting with the environment — pulling rings, unzipping zippers, and flipping buttons to trigger mechanisms. Kirby can also transform into various shapes such as a car, submarine, rocket, or giant robot to tackle different stage challenges. These transformations are both creative and abundant, becoming one of the game’s signature features. The 3DS version adjusts the controls for handheld play, using the D-pad and buttons, delivering a smooth and intuitive feel that’s easy to pick up, even for newcomers.

The game is structured across multiple themed world regions, each with a unique setting and style, such as grassy fields, volcanoes, clouds, candy lands, toy boxes, and musical kingdoms. Visually, the game bursts with whimsy and creativity, using textures like stitching, yarn, patchwork, and fabric to create a cozy, handcrafted aesthetic. Each stage includes three hidden treasures and a gold medal to collect, adding replay value and encouraging exploration.

Two major new features were introduced in the 3DS version. The first is Devilish Mode, where each stage introduces a new enemy, the Devilish Ball, that relentlessly chases Kirby and attacks him, heightening the tension and challenge. This adds an extra layer of difficulty to the otherwise relaxed pacing, appealing to players who enjoy high-skill challenges. The second addition is two extra minigames: Dedede Gogogo, a rhythm-based running challenge starring King Dedede, and Slash & Bead, where players control Meta Knight in a bead-collecting, action-packed race. These minigames diversify the gameplay experience and provide more variety.

The game also supports amiibo functionality, allowing players to unlock special abilities and costumes. Using amiibo figures like Kirby, King Dedede, and Meta Knight can grant Kirby new abilities, such as high-speed dashing or magnetic bead-attraction powers, adding further variety and fun.

Upon release, Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn received largely positive reviews. Critics praised its fresh, charming style and the beautifully crafted, handcrafted art design, which looked excellent on the 3DS despite its lower resolution compared to the Wii’s home console display. Thanks to the handheld’s smaller screen and dual-screen layout, the visuals appeared even more focused and detailed. The music continued the series’ tradition of lively, emotive melodies, enhancing the fairytale-like atmosphere of the game.

Many players especially appreciated the simplified controls and thoughtfully paced design, making the game friendly and welcoming for all ages, particularly children and platforming newcomers. The added Devilish Mode and minigames were well-received for addressing the original’s sometimes overly laid-back pacing, providing new layers of challenge and fun for returning players.

However, some criticism was directed at the game’s limited use of the 3DS’s stereoscopic 3D functionality and the lack of multiplayer support — a feature present in the original Wii version, which allowed for co-op play. In terms of interactivity and shared play, this handheld version felt somewhat less robust. Additionally, for players who had already experienced the Wii release, while the new content was appreciated, the overall experience might feel slightly repetitive.

In conclusion, Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn is a uniquely styled, heartwarming, and accessible side-scrolling platformer. It faithfully preserves the gentle charm of the original while enhancing it with new modes and content to offer fresh challenges for veteran players. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the series or a newcomer, there’s pure, relaxing enjoyment to be found in this fabric-woven fantasy adventure.
