Yoshi's Island 1 (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how the Smash 64 incarnation of Yoshi's Island, as well as Yoshi's Story, both appear in Super Smash Stadium. For information about them in general, see mariowiki:Super Happy Tree, w:c:supersmashbros:Super Happy Tree, or w:c:supersmashbros:Yoshi's Story.
Yoshi's Island 1 is an active stage on Super Smash Stadium. It debuted just slightly after the Season 6 premiere and is the 34th stage to debut. It's also the first to feature the "Challenger Approaching!" fanfare seen when a new stage debuts; as Season 6 was the first in which St. Clair Publications was involved, this was one of their "touches" on the show.
==Stage overview==
A "Battlefield format" stage with some twists. First off, it's much bigger. Second, the main platform is shaped like a book and thus is not quite flat. The left and right soft platforms slope with the ground and the left platform is short. The top platform is very long and flat.
There are also three sets of clouds on the stage. The first is in the middle, on the left side of the stage, the second is on the right side and on the top, and the third is even further right and on the bottom. Stand on these clouds too long (approximately three seconds) and they disappear, but they will respawn after five seconds. Finally, there's a fourth cloud, nicknamed "Randall" by the fandom, that runs on a track just underneath the stage; he never disappears. Numerous Fly Guys also fly by the stage holding Food (assuming that item is on); attack them to get it.
==Changes==
The last major change that was made to this stage happened on the Season 44 premiere.
*From roughly May 27, 1982 to the 2001 set changed noted below, the stage took place at sunset; previously, it took place in the daytime.
*On March 1, 2001, the stage unofficially changed its name to "Yoshi's Story". This update shrank the stage considerably and made it look more like Battlefield while debuting Randall and the Fly Guys. The three sets of clouds disappeared. Also, the stage went back to being in the daytime.
*The current version of this stage is a hybrid of the previous two versions, mostly going back to the original layout while maintaining the daytime setting, Randall, and the Fly Guys.
==Notable playings==
*This stage was prone to malfunctions through the 1990's. On February 27, 1980, the clouds failed to respawn. On May 10, 1989, the clouds kept respawning further and further towards the edges of the stage until they became unusable; with Safari Zone having just debuted earlier on that episode, the show's hosts kept joking that a Pokémon Trainer was either throwing bait to attract the clouds or rocks to drive them away. On June 3, 1992, the opposite happened, and the match eventually had to be declared a No Contest five minutes in because the clouds kept interfering with everything. Finally, on January 16, 1995, the clouds actually fell away when they were stepped on.
*On April 1, 2011, as an April Fool's joke, about 60 seconds into the match, Randall made grinding noises and began giving off sparks, and stagehands rushed in with fire extinguishers to "cool" him down; he then stalled for the rest of the match.
==In its own universe==
In Yoshi's Story, the Super Happy Tree was the "damsel in distress". Baby Bowser stole it and turned Yoshi's Island into a storybook, hence the game's name. This also somehow caused the island to turn into cardboard, yarn, clothing fabric, and various other arts-n-crafts materials, predating Yoshi's Woolly and Crafted World by at least a good decade and a half.
