Visually, the stage looks like it's made of cardboard. The main platform is an open book, and as such it has a V shape instead of being completely flat. Over the main platform hover three [[soft platform]]s; the bottom two slightly slope inwards, while the top one is flat.

In the sky surrounding the main stage float three clouds, one on the left side and two on the right.

Disappeared clouds reappear after seven more seconds. {{s|mariowiki|Message Block}}s hover in the background above the clouds, but they have no gameplay effect.

==Tournament legality==
===Ω form and Battlefield form===
In both ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'' Yoshi's Island is banned, primarily because the clouds can promote [[camping]]. In particular, the rightmost cloud is very far from the stage and is a very powerful camping spot; additionally, some characters such as {{SSB|Link}} in ''Smash 64'' are unable to make it back to the stage from said cloud.
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the main platform of the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] is a completely flat version of the main platform of the normal form and is resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form resemble the ones in the normal form.

[[File:Yoshis story JP poster.png|thumb|right|A Japanese print advert for ''Yoshi's Story'', also used as the cover for a licensed German comic book, depicting the storybook that Yoshi's Island was transformed into by Baby Bowser.]]
This stage and its aesthetics are inspired by ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Story}}''. In that game, {{s|mariowiki|Baby Bowser}} has turned {{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Island}} in a storybook and stolen the {{s|mariowiki|Super Happy Tree}}, the magical tree which also appears in this stage's background.
This stage is loosely based on ''{{iw|mariowiki|Yoshi's Story}}'', in which {{s|supermariowiki|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|supermariowiki|Treasure Hunt}}), and the fabric and cloth theme of the second and third levels ({{s|supermariowiki|Surprise!!}} and {{s|supermariowiki|Rail Lift}}, respectively); however, the sky was colored blue in those levels, whereas, in this stage, the sky is light orange, giving it a resemblance to the first world's map screen, supplemented by rotating circular clouds behind the tree, which also appear on the first map behind a set of hills, albeit only in blue as opposed to the blue and orange of the ''Smash'' stage's rotating clouds. The Super Happy Tree is also in the background of the main platform. ''Yoshi's Story'' also features clouds that can be used as platforms, some of which have to be activated by pressing a switch and disappear when the switch's timer runs out; however, their design is different from the ones in this stage.
 
The storybook shaped base platform references not only the aforementioned plot element of Yoshi's Island becoming a storybook, but also the cutscenes and map screen of the game, which are styled like a pop-up book. At the end of each level, it would cut back to the map screen, overlaid by a giant Super Happy Tree heart face, rotating left to right like its animation in the ''Smash'' stage, and play a short snippet of the ending theme along with text describing the Yoshis' adventure in that stage in the form of a poem, before flipping to the next page, where a set of stages could be chosen, with harder stages accessible depending on the amount of Special Hearts eaten.

{{s|mariowiki|Message Block}}s appear in some {{uv|Mario}} and {{uv|Yoshi}} games, and give hints to the player when hit. Also from the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Yoshi|franchise}}'' games are {{s|mariowiki|Goonie}}s and {{s|mariowiki|Fly Guy}}s where they appear as flying enemies. The aforementioned elements are also based on their designs from ''Yoshi's Story'' and are seen in the background.
 
The Super Happy Tree itself appears in the final level, either the {{s|supermariowiki|Mecha Castle}}, {{s|supermariowiki|Lift Castle}}, {{s|supermariowiki|Ghost Castle}}, or {{s|supermariowiki|Magma Castle}}, during the fight with Baby Bowser. Within the story of the game, it is what grants the Yoshis of Yoshi's Island with their happiness - upon being stolen, all the Yoshis became depressed with the exception with 8 hatchlings, born mere minutes after the tree was stolen and protected from the spell by their eggs, who set off on a quest to recover it by eating fruit and spreading happiness. Despite being established in this game as a crucial piece of ''Yoshi'' lore, it has never appeared again in a ''Yoshi'' game, though the Sundream Stone in ''Crafted World'' serves a similar purpose, and it does cameo in ''Mario Superstar Baseball''.

“ You can land on the clouds that float on either side of the stage, but if you do, they won't hold up for long. ”
—Super Smash Bros.'s instruction manual

Super Happy Tree (スーパーしあわせのツリー, Super Happy Tree), referred to as Past Stages: Yoshi's Island (ヨッシーアイランド, Yoshi Island) prior to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, is a stage in Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

In Ultimate, it is renamed to distinguish it from the similarly-named Melee and Brawl stages.

Stage overview[edit]

Visually, the stage looks like it's made of cardboard. The main platform is an open book, and as such it has a V shape instead of being completely flat. Over the main platform hover three soft platforms; the bottom two slightly slope inwards, while the top one is flat.

In the sky surrounding the main stage float three clouds, one on the left side and two on the right. After standing on a cloud for about four seconds it will disappear; this can be prevented by repeatedly jumping instead of standing continuously on it. Disappeared clouds reappear after seven more seconds. Message Blocks hover in the background above the clouds, but they have no gameplay effect.

The rightmost cloud in Smash 64.

Goonies and Fly Guys occasionally fly in the background, but do not interact with the players.

The version of this stage in Super Smash Bros.'s 1P Game is slightly smaller and lacks the clouds.

In Ultimate, the side blast zones, especially the right blast zone, are moved inwards when the camera is set to "fixed". This includes Training Mode, where it is possible to position players close to the right blast zone, and set the camera to fixed, resulting in that player being KOd immediately upon closing the menu.

Ω form and Battlefield form[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the main platform of the Ω form and Battlefield form is a completely flat version of the main platform of the normal form and is resized and reshaped to match Final Destination and Battlefield, respectively. The three soft platforms of the Battlefield form resemble the ones in the normal form.

Hazards Off[edit]

If hazards are turned off in Ultimate, the clouds will never disappear.

Origin[edit]

A Japanese print advert for Yoshi's Story, also used as the cover for a licensed German comic book, depicting the storybook that Yoshi's Island was transformed into by Baby Bowser.

This stage is loosely based on Yoshi's Story, in which Baby Bowser turns Yoshi's Island into a storybook and steals the 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 (Treasure Hunt), and the fabric and cloth theme of the second and third levels (Surprise!! and Rail Lift, respectively); however, the sky was colored blue in those levels, whereas, in this stage, the sky is light orange, giving it a resemblance to the first world's map screen, supplemented by rotating circular clouds behind the tree, which also appear on the first map behind a set of hills, albeit only in blue as opposed to the blue and orange of the Smash stage's rotating clouds. The Super Happy Tree is also in the background of the main platform. Yoshi's Story also features clouds that can be used as platforms, some of which have to be activated by pressing a switch and disappear when the switch's timer runs out; however, their design is different from the ones in this stage.

The storybook shaped base platform references not only the aforementioned plot element of Yoshi's Island becoming a storybook, but also the cutscenes and map screen of the game, which are styled like a pop-up book. At the end of each level, it would cut back to the map screen, overlaid by a giant Super Happy Tree heart face, rotating left to right like its animation in the Smash stage, and play a short snippet of the ending theme along with text describing the Yoshis' adventure in that stage in the form of a poem, before flipping to the next page, where a set of stages could be chosen, with harder stages accessible depending on the amount of Special Hearts eaten.

The Super Happy Tree in Yoshi's Story.

Message Blocks appear in some Mario and Yoshi games, and give hints to the player when hit. Also from the Yoshi games are Goonies and Fly Guys where they appear as flying enemies. The aforementioned elements are also based on their designs from Yoshi's Story and are seen in the background.

The Super Happy Tree itself appears in the final level, either the Mecha Castle, Lift Castle, Ghost Castle, or Magma Castle, during the fight with Baby Bowser. Within the story of the game, it is what grants the Yoshis of Yoshi's Island with their happiness - upon being stolen, all the Yoshis became depressed with the exception with 8 hatchlings, born mere minutes after the tree was stolen and protected from the spell by their eggs, who set off on a quest to recover it by eating fruit and spreading happiness. Despite being established in this game as a crucial piece of Yoshi lore, it has never appeared again in a Yoshi game, though the Sundream Stone in Crafted World serves a similar purpose, and it does cameo in Mario Superstar Baseball.

Tournament legality[edit]

Super Happy Tree is banned in every appearance, primarily because the clouds can promote camping. In particular, the rightmost cloud is very far from the stage and is a very powerful camping spot; additionally, some characters such as Link in Smash 64 are unable to make it back to the stage from said cloud. The cloudless variant from Smash 64's single player is sometimes legal in doubles, but as it requires modifying the game, it is rarely seen outside of specialized rulesets (such as GENESIS 6).

Spirit[edit]

The Super Happy Tree appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Legend-class support spirit.

The Super Happy Tree can be summoned using the cores of Whispy Woods, Bonus Fruit, a Neutral type, and two support types.
