Yoshi's Story

Yoshi's Story is a stage in Super Smash Flash 2. It is a very simplistic stage with a design very similar to Battlefield.

Layout
The stage has a very basic appearance similar in structure to Battlefield. The bottom part is primarily flat with the left and right side sloped down at a minor angle. There are three platforms that float above the bottom platform: A low left one, a high middle one, and a low right one. The main platform has walls which continue to the bottom of the stage, unlike Battlefield, so that characters cannot become stuck on the bottom trying to recover. Lakitu's Cloud also appears in this stage, like in Melee, moving around the stage in a counter-clockwise motion, providing support to players recovering or edgeguarding.

Music
The music is Yoshi's Story from the Super Smash Bros. Melee soundtrack.

Tournament legality
This stage is a neutral in competitive play. However, it is among the most controversial; not on its own merits, but due to its strong similarities to causing redundancy and, thus, bias in the Stage Striking process.

It is often erroneously believed to be small and cramped compared to Battlefield, as that was the niche it filled in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Project M. However, its SSF2 appearance is proportionally inaccurate to its original appearances and is, in reality, the exact same size as Battlefield if not functionally slightly bigger due to Lakitu's Cloud.

Regardless, it has yet to be seen as an outright problem and is allowed in most stage lists.

Origin
This stage comes from Yoshi's Story. In the stage contains flying Shy Guys and Pak E. Derm holding up his stop sign. In the Yoshi Story game, Yoshi has to Ground Pound the ground, and the Pak E. Derm would fall away, letting Yoshi pass. Yoshi had to act quickly, because the Pak E. Derm would get up soon. Flying Shy Guys fly around the course. This would carry items like fruit, which are required to clear the level.
