## **Stage Info**

Yoshi’s Cookie is a puzzle game created for the NES and Gameboy before getting a SNES version a couple years later. The objective of this game is to clear out all the cookies that appear on the screen by matching an entire row or column with cookies of the same type. There are six different cookies that are found in the game: Heart cookies, Sunflower cookies, Green cookies, Checkered cookies, Ring-shaped cookies, and Yoshi cookies. The Yoshi cookie serves as a Wild and can be used to match with any other types of cookies. These cookies have gone on to appear in other Mario and Yoshi titles where they’ve been platforms, items in battle, and even were the inspiration for a battle arena in Mario Kart!

## **Stage Layout**

This stage is designed to be set inside of an open oven with the door of the oven serving as the main platform at the bottom with up to five cookies above this platform serving as platforms. The designs of these cookies are pulled straight out of Yoshi’s Cookie. In a hazard free match there will always be five cookies on the stage and the designs will be randomly selected from the six types of cookies. That said all the cookies are the same shape and size when it comes to their platforms. These cookies do however have some additional properties when hazards are turned on.

## **Hazards**

### **Cookie Types**

When hazards are on the stage will load up with a randomized amount of 2-5 cookies on the stage. The positions and types of these cookies are randomized as well. The cookies can all be attacked and broken with some cookies having more “health” than others. After being destroyed, cookies will take anywhere between 10-20 seconds to respawn and this includes any cookies that are missing at the start of the match. Each cookie also has some unique properties to them which are as follows:

* **Heart Cookies** - Whichever fighter deals the last hit that destroys a Heart cookie will be instantly healed 10% damage.
* **Sunflower Cookies** - Whichever fighter deals the last hit that destroys a Sunflower cookie will receive a short-term buff to their Special stat. This will make their Special Moves more powerful for 5 seconds.
* **Green Cookies** - Green cookies have a gooey center on them which makes them difficult to fight on. Players who are standing on top of a Green cookie will have their jumping capabilities severely handicapped.
* **Checkered Cookies** - Checkered cookies are the hardiest of them all and have more health than any other cookie making them a more reliable platform for fighting. When a Checkered cookie is eventually broken they will break apart into four pieces which can be picked up and thrown at opponents dealing a small amount of damage. Each piece can only be thrown once before it breaks.
* **Ring-shaped Cookies** - When a Ring-shaped cookie breaks, only half of it will break at a time. The half that breaks is determined by which half of the cookie was last hit when its health would have gone down to 0%. The other half of the Ring-shaped cookie will remain with its own health value which is half of the original.
* **Yoshi Cookies** - When a Yoshi cookie is destroyed 2-5 random items will drop from it which players can use in the fight. If all Items are turned off, then no items will fall from the Yoshi cookie.
