Oh, you are delving where men fear to tread. That AIR is actually the remnants of their souls, free from their prison but doomed to never move on to the afterlife. As for their flesh, most is absorbed by the horrid beast while the rest is altered to become volitile, an explosion of their flesh and blood. A cursed and sad existence for all time.

Yoshi is actually an alchemic beast, a chimera if you will, as such he knows the ways of alchemy (from when he cruelly devoured his creator) and is able to transmute living beings into gold.

As for the stars, those poor souls are the lucky ones. Whether by extreme luck or the mercy of Yoshi, the souls of these beings are completely free from their doomed fate. They are able to rejoin their loved ones in the stars as cosmic dust. If you are ever eaten by yoshi pray this happens to you.

One of the best looking games, looks even better than LittleBigPlanet 3 on the PS4. The difference between Kirby's Epic Yarn and Yoshi's Woolly World is also huge.

Wait... Yoshi uses the stars also as food. He regains health by re-eating the already dead creatures!

Thankfully, there's no Mario in this game. That's a creature I sure am terrified of.

Only problem is instead of an actual background they just have an shower curtain.

It's shaping up to be the successor to Super Mario World 2. The vibrant colours, clean, cute and charming graphics. Many of the gameplay elements seem to be returning (luckily no Baby Mario) along with some new features taking advantage of the yarn theme. So yeah, count me in.

Have you given Epic Yarn a try? It's Wooly World, but for the Kirby franchise!

This game looks so awesome. Won't be day one for me, but I'm definitely gonna get it.

One of the most beautiful games I have ever laid eyes on.

awww this game is so cute I just want to hug and squeeze it to death!
