This is one of my favorite Yoshi games. I think it comes the closest to the 1995 masterpiece Yoshi’s Island, but still falls short. However, the music here is excellent. The songs are vibrant, fun, often catchy, and are composed in creative ways. Many of these songs are very relaxing, so sometimes I’ll just sit down and listen to this OST if I’m stressed. Good Feel’s follow-up to this game was Yoshi’s Crafted World on Switch, but that OST was very disappointing as the music was very “kiddy” and repeated the main theme way too much. This OST, on the other hand, is great.
Craft Island
This song, which serves as the main hub theme, is very soothing. It sounds like a mellow country song, using guitars and a light beat. It doesn’t sound like a VG song, and that’s a compliment. If you need to relax, just listen to this. I found myself listening to it for a short while before moving on to the next level.
Scarf Roll Scamper
This song is a lot more peppy and vibrant. It starts off with a jazzy piano, which is used quite a bit throughout the soundtrack. As the song progresses, more sounds are added, and the overall feel is just very positive and happy. It's a kind of adorable adventure sound, which perfectly fits with the game.
Fluffy Snow, Here We Go!
This song is brilliant! Obviously, this song plays for a snow level. It captures the feel of a video game snow level, but also sounds like you're shopping at the mall during Christmastime. Actually, I tend listen to this song a lot during the Christmas season. It's perfect! The whole song is light, cheerful, fun, and playful.
Shy but Deadly
This is my favorite song because it's very catchy and upbeat, which is my favorite kind of music. The positive vibe is there the whole time, making you feel good as you play (or listen). The driving beat keeps the song moving as instruments move in and out to add flare. The second half of the song is especially enjoyable. Great stuff!
Vs. Mega Baby Bowser
The final boss battle is epic, being an homage to the original Yoshi's Island. The music makes it even more epic! This song is simply great, evoking a feeling of dread and darkness. It's a tense song that is carefully crafted to sound very sinister. The horns do a good job of conveying something on a grand scale, something huge and imposing. Really great!
I totally agree with you about the music in Yoshi's Woolly World being great, and that it was the closest to reliving the magic of the original game. Yoshi's Crafted World wasn't near as good, but I liked it anyway. But then, I also liked Yoshi's Island DS, so what do I know?
Here are more songs from Woolly World that I liked:
I also love how all the tracks in this game are happy and cheerful and then you go into the lava stage and hear this:
I also loved the amiibo support for this game. I could be a Kirby Yoshi, a Mega Man Yoshi, or a Pac-Man Yoshi! And if you liked the music in this game, then you should check out Kirby's Epic Yarn (both were made by the same folks).

For some reason your videos didn't come through. Not sure if you want to try and repost them. Anyways, the amiibo support for WW was really great, it was so fun to see so many Nintendo character skins on Yoshi LOL

Lava Scarves is pretty rockin'. I can't wait to play some of this game. It looks so amazing!

Do you have a way to play it? (it's only on Wii U and 3DS)

I was just going through my collection and I do have it on Wii-U. I must've played some of it before. I'll have to revisit it.
