Announced at [[E3]] 2001, '''Yoshi's Story''' ({{ja|ヨッシーストーリー|Yosshī Sutōrī}}, ''Yoshi Story'') is a [[stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is one of Yoshi's [[home stage]]s, and in ''Melee'', he is faced here in [[All-Star Mode]]. 

==Stage overview==
Yoshi's Story is a very basic, neutral stage, with a layout similar in structure to {{SSBM|Battlefield}}. The main platform is primarily flat then slightly slopes downwards at the edges to the left and right. There are three [[soft platform]]s: one on the left and right, and a higher one in the middle, though unlike on Battlefield, the left and right platforms are positioned more outwards, slightly above the blastline. Another major difference from Battlefield is the main platform's walls extend downwards past the blastline, thus players cannot go underneath the stage when recovering. Yoshi's Story's blast lines are much closer to the stage than in other tournament legal stages, meaning that KOs occur more easily.

The stage also features a small floating cloud, colloquially dubbed "Randall" (see below). Additionally, there are [[Shy Guy]]s which fly around in groups of 1-6 in a line. If [[food]] is enabled in the items menu, the Shy Guys will be holding food which they release onto the stage when hit. Even when food is not present, Shy Guys can affect gameplay: they will interfere with projectiles, and moves such as [[Green Missile]] and [[Raptor Boost]], and they are useful for countering [[stale-move negation]], through hitting them with attacks not commonly used.

[[Pak E. Derm]] can be seen pacing back and forth in the background.

===Randall the Cloud===
[[File:Randall.png|thumb|left|50px|Randall the Cloud]]
'''Randall the Cloud''' is a nickname for the cloud featured on this stage. It moves in a rectangle through the bottom of the stage. It is possible to stand/edgeguard on the cloud until it goes back into the stage. It is often used to assist the [[recovery]] process. The term derived originally from Canadian smasher {{Sm|FastFox}} on a [https://smashboards.com/threads/knowing-the-position-of-the-ys-cloud-a-lil-guide-by-austinp.79777/page-1#post-7 SmashBoards thread], and it has since taken off as a norm on [[SmashBoards]]. It is also mentioned commonly in competitive ''Melee'' matches, usually when a player chooses to land on it instead of aiming for the [[edge]] while recovering, or when it comes out and saves a recovering player who otherwise would've been [[edgehog]]ged.

Randall does not appear for the opening ten seconds of a given battle and emerges on the right-hand side of Yoshi's Story immediately thereafter, completing a trip through the stage and out the other side in 20 seconds. This means that the position of the cloud is consistent and predictable, not random. Through paying particular attention to the countdown in a [[time]]d match, a prudent smasher can use this knowledge to effectively stall a recovery and land on Randall instead of falling.

[[CPU]] opponents tend to try to recover to Randall if possible, leaving them susceptible to [[gimp]]s.

Randall the Cloud can also be used for [[taunt canceling]].

===Ω form and Battlefield form===
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] are similar to the layout of the normal form of this stage; however, the main platform is completely flat, and both the main platform and the three soft platforms have been resized to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The main platform no longer extends below the blast line, but is now suspended in the air. Randall the Cloud, Pak E. Derm, and Shy Guys are also absent. On the Battlefield form the soft platforms to the left and right are moved more inwards to match Battlefield's layout.

===Hazards Off===
With hazards off in ''Ultimate'', neither Randall nor the Shy Guys will appear.

==Origin==
[[File:Yoshi'sStoryWorld1-1.png|thumb|left|Treasure Hunt in ''Yoshi's Story''.]]
[[File:Rail Lift.png|thumb|Rail Lift in ''Yoshi's Story''. Note the cloud on a rail.]]
This stage is based on ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Story}}'', in which {{s|mariowiki|Baby Bowser}} turns Yoshi's Island into a storybook and steals the {{s|mariowiki|Super Happy Tree}}. This causes the environment to be turned into various materials such as cardboard, yarn, and fabric. This stage is an amalgamation of the cardboard theme of the first level ({{s|mariowiki|Treasure Hunt}}), and the fabric and cloth theme of the second and third levels ({{s|mariowiki|Surprise!!}} and {{s|mariowiki|Rail Lift}}, respectively). The cloud is also from Rail Lift, where Yoshi must navigate on clouds that move on yarn rails. 

In ''Yoshi's Story'', {{s|mariowiki|Pak E. Derm}} occasionally prevents Yoshi from proceeding, but can be stunned with a Ground Pound. He can be seen wandering in the background of this stage. Also in ''Yoshi's Story'' are {{s|mariowiki|Propeller Shy Guy}}s (also known as Fly Guys) who hold {{s|mariowiki|fruit}} while flying around, which Yoshi can eat before they fly away. In this stage, Propeller Shy Guys carry fruit and will drop it after being attacked.

==Tournament legality==
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''===
The lack of intrusive stage elements aside from the moving cloud and the Shy Guys makes this a neutral stage for tournaments. Its simple yet versatile layout, smaller blast zones, and general smaller size make it perfect for aggressive play. This stage is often cited as one of {{SSBM|Marth}}'s best stages, due to its smaller size and platform height complementing his [[disjoint]]ed hitboxes and long range. This stage is also often regarded as one of {{SSBM|Fox}}'s best stages because of its small [[blast zone]]s, which can KO an enemy with an [[up-smash]] or [[up throw]] to [[up-air]] at exceedingly low percents. {{SSBM|Falco}}  and {{SSBM|Sheik}} are also noted for having better matchups on this stage for its emphasis on close quarters combat and its accessible platforms respectively. Some characters that tend to do worse on Yoshi's Story include {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSBM|Peach}}, and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}. Because of Yoshi's Story's small blast zones and more compact layout, defensive characters like Peach and Puff find it harder to make space between them and their opponent and find it easier to die earlier. Yoshi's Story poses a serious issue to Jigglypuff, in particular, against Fox and Marth who often use it as a counterpick to the character, second often to {{SSBM|Final Destination}}. While the Yoshi's Story counterpick isn't as polarizing to Falcon as [[Fountain of Dreams]] or FD, the smaller stage size often poses an issue when Falcon players want to utilize his extreme speed to create dangerous aggressive mixups from across the stage.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
This stage has been downgraded into a counterpick stage, or sometimes even outright banned. This is due to the very low ceiling combined with a top platform causing early kills, the slight slopes that are on the edges of the stage, as well as its similarity to {{SSBU|Battlefield}}. Turning hazards off removes the Fly Guys and Randall the cloud, making most tournaments prefer this version of the stage.

==Trivia==
*In ''Melee'', the background is applied with a transparency effect so that Star KO'd characters can be seen after passing through the background. This is not present in ''Ultimate'', as the background now overlaps the characters once they pass through. This is also true in [[Super Happy Tree]].
*The [[Moon]] and the [[Squid Sisters]] cannot be summoned by [[Assist Trophy]] on this stage.
*Prior to version {{SSBU|13.0.0}}, the Shy Guys in ''Ultimate'' would carry food regardless of item settings, which generally resulted in its exclusion from experimental competitive rulesets with hazards enabled.
*In ''Ultimate'', this stage is referred within game files with the term "yoshi_cartboard"{{sic}}, referring to its arts-and-crafts nature.
*In ''Ultimate'', neither the main or alternate music track is the ''Yoshi’s Story'' remix from ''Melee''. This makes the stage one of the few that doesn’t have its original song(s) assigned as either a main or alternate track.
*The stacking height symbols in the background are incorrect, as the bars are under the number.
*{{SSBU|Steve}} picks up wool blocks instead of dirt blocks on this stage.
