## **Stage Info**

Though there have been several stages called “Yoshi’s Island” throughout Super Smash Bros, this is the only stage to take its design from the actual “Yoshi’s Island” game. The design aesthetic is pulled right outta Yoshi’s Island with its distinctive art style designed to look like pastel pastings.

## **Stage Layout**

The main platform for Yoshi’s Island is slightly curved with a dip in the middle and hangs down a little on the far sides. A smaller platform floats above the main one which will periodically tilt up and down as the fighting goes on.

A Blarggwich may also rise up on either side of the stage at random points with a small platform sitting atop its head. Players can fight atop on the Blarggwich as long as they wish however if they don’t jump off in time when the Blarggwich leaves they’ll end up KO’ing themselves. Fly Guys may also fly around the stage at random times carrying Food items even if Food is turned off in the Item Switch! These Fly Guys need to be attacked in order for them to drop their cargo, but luckily they’re easily defeated.

Yoshi’s Island will also undergo harmless aesthetic changes as the fight goes on resembling the changing of the seasons. Which season the stage starts out in is determined randomly.

* **Spring** - During Spring, the scenery will heavily resemble the pastel-drawn backgrounds of the Overworld stages in Yoshi’s Island. Giant red tulips, found in the first level of Yoshi’s Island, will appear in the background.
* **Summer** - During Summer, flowers which resemble the Special Flowers that Yoshi collects throughout Yoshi’s Island will sprout up everywhere in the background of the stage.
* **Autumn** - During Autumn, fall colors will take over the stage and Goonies will appear in the background hovering through the sky. Wheat grass will also sprout up in the background.
* **Winter** - During Winter, heavy snowfall will take over the background of the stage with a light dusting of it even appearing in the foreground.

	+ Obstacle Course - An upbeat remix of the “Athletic” theme which switches between a more energetic remix with steel drums and a brass-focus during the Spring and Summer phases of the stage and a more subdued remix with rhodes and an accordion-focus during the Fall and Winter phases of the stage. The Spring and Summer phases of the remix also contains a brief electric guitar-based remix of the game’s final boss theme. [SSBB]
