The plot of Kirby's Epic Yarn revolves around Nintendo's cream-puff character being dragged out of his normal world by an evil sorcerer named Yin-Yarn and trapped in a fabric-based world called Patch Land. Everything in this new land, including the heroic marshmallow Kirby, is made of yarn and fabric. As a result, Kirby has lost his signature inhalation and power absorption abilities. After meeting and saving Fluff, a prince, Kirby and his companion decide to work together to "stitch-up" Patch Land in the wake of the destruction caused by Yin-Yarn.

Kirby's Epic Yarn follows previous Nintendo franchises like Paper Mario and in its creative design around physical real-life aesthetics. Stages and puzzles are heavily designed around fabric themes and aesthetics, such as enemies being made out of yarn, and puzzle elements involving zippers and buttons.

As Kirby navigates Patch Land, he uses a whip made of yarn instead of his typical powers. While he no longer swallows enemies to steal their powers, he hasn't slowed in the least bit where transformation and unique powers are concerned. Kirby floats by transforming into a parachute, flies as a UFO, drives as a car, and features a wide range of other transformations.

Like in Lego games or later titles, Kirby doesn't die. However, taking damage causes Kirby to lose precious items that the player collects throughout the levels to earn higher scores, medals, and unlock more challenges. Each stage contains three hidden secrets for players to hunt. There are also new friends to be made who bring about several smaller challenges.

Kirby's Epic Yarn plays largely as an old-school side-scrolling title with large segments of other Nintendo games, such as New Super Mario Bros. Wii , Metroid: Other M , and the revamped Donkey Kong Country Returns . The game also features two-player cooperative gameplay which adds to the puzzle solving and gameplay in many situations.

The 2019 Nintendo 3DS version further expands the gameplay with amiibo compatibility, new abilities, mini-games, and a new "hard mode" called Devilish Mode , which gives Kirby health and makes a demonic little yarn monster follow him around.
