''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' is - like the main ''Kirby'' series games - a side-scrolling 2D platformer where the main objective is to reach the end of stages by dealing with enemies, obstacles, and occasional boss fights. However, ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' takes a fundamentally different approach to the gameplay. Despite Kirby still being the protagonist, he plays very differently from his main-series counterpart due to being a yarn outline: he can no longer hover, inhale, or gain Copy Abilities. Instead, Kirby's moveset revolves around using his [[Yarn Whip]] to lasso enemies and other objects and using his various [[Yarn Transformation]]s to better navigate his surroundings and deal with obstacles. When Kirby uses his Yarn Whip on an enemy or other such object, he can either unravel them to remove them from play or wrap them up into a [[yarn ball]], which can then be used as a projectile to deal with other enemies and roadblocks. Kirby's Yarn Transformations give him the power to speed up by turning into a [[car]], slow his descent by turning into a [[parachute]], swim more effectively as a [[submarine]], or pound down obstacles and switches as a [[weight]], among other things. Using all these abilities together along with the more potent but more situational [[Metamortex]] transformations allows Kirby to tackle everything in his way as he moves through each land and stage. | ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' is - like the main ''Kirby'' series games - a side-scrolling 2D platformer where the main objective is to reach the end of stages by dealing with enemies, obstacles, and occasional boss fights.

Unlike the main ''Kirby'' series and most other action-based video games, ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' does not feature a [[stamina|health]] or [[1-Up|extra life]] system. In fact, it is not actually possible for Kirby to fail a regular stage or boss fight, unless of course the player quits out. Instead, when Kirby takes damage, he is knocked back and loses [[bead]]s; the main collectible item and in-game currency. Beads are found all throughout the stages, both out in the open and from enemies and other obstacles when they are dealt with. Collecting a certain amount of beads and reaching the end of a stage will award the player with a [[medal]] and may also unlock bonus content, including extra stages. Beads are also used to purchase [[furniture]] and [[fabric]] from the respective shops in [[Quilty Square]], which can be used to decorate [[Kirby's Pad|Kirby's apartment]] in Patch Land. Over the course of the game, the [[Quilty Court|apartment building]] itself can be expanded and new neighbors invited in, assuming Kirby has all the requisite items needed (including collectable furniture pieces which can only be found in stages). Kirby can then play [[Sub-Game|mini games]] with his neighbors which place Kirby in specific challenges which can be failed, but which offer more rewards if succeeded. | Unlike the main ''Kirby'' series and most other action-based video games, ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' does not feature a [[stamina|health]] or [[1-Up|extra life]] system.
