1. INTRODUCTION O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, for those who don't notice yet, this is one of my biggest short FAQs
yet. This FAQ will be dedicated to one of the greatest games yet, Super
Smash Brothers Melee. However, it is also for one of the greatest characters
in video game history, Yoshi.
My name is Ryan, and I am known on GameFAQs as SpikeDragon. I don't really
have a favorite board, I just wander around from here to there and see what's
going on around the place. I also like to play video games, and enjoy
monitoring my website. Sports are my thing, and I enjoy to eat and sleep.
My favorite thing to do, however, is play video games. To get my mind off of
it sometimes, I go on GameFAQs or update my FAQs.
On Cheathappens, I'm known as Ryan-. I've already submitted one of my
versions to their website, and I'm sure the SSBM board will find it helpful
to them. My past version has received a 4.9 so far, so I hope for higher
ratings now.
I'm new to NeoSeeker, but it seems to be a very good website, and there are
several nice people, and I hope they enjoy as much as the others sites. You
can find my FAQs under the username MoltenDragon.
Ok, don't ask me why I have an SSBM FAQ on Yoshi. Yes, I would have made a
Yoshi FAQ for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but that wasn't coming out recently
when I started. So, since I was half-way done with this when hearing about
Brawl in Game Informer, I felt that I should just finish it. So...yeah...
I might make one for Yoshi in the future, but for now, I'd rather give
myself a little break.
To make this intro short, I really don't have much else to do to get my mind
off video games besides this. This will probably help me the most,
so...well...enjoy!
(Continue if you wish)

3. CONTROLS O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At last, we get to the game parts of the FAQ. Playing this game is actually
fairly easy. These controls are not only used for Yoshi, but they can also
be used by all the other characters. Sure, not all of them have the exact
same moves, but these controls can be used by them nonetheless.
Control SticK - Can be used in more than one way (ways listed below)
1. (Left/Right) - Walk. The control stick in this motion is used to walk left
or right. This is useful whenever you want to get nearer or further away
from an opponent. It is also used to walk towards items, step off a ledge,
and even step off the cliff! This is probably the thing that makes this game
what it is, and is also the most used throughout the game.
2. (Up) - Jump. The control stick in the upward motion is used to jump. This
jump is used to either get to high places, leap over great monoliths, and
dodge enemies and danger. It can also be used to get items in out-of-the-way
places. Jumping is very useful when you want to do a more complex attack as
well, and is great for surprise aerial attacks.
3. (Down) - Crouch/Duck. The control stick in the downward motion is used to
crouch or duck. When used, it is harder for opponents to knock you into the
air, as well as difficult for opponents to hit you. Crouching can help you
avoid certain physical attacks, as well as certain special attacks. When
used during an attack, the player will not lift into the air like before. It
is a nifty tool to use, and very handy if mastered. Don't use it all the
time, for it will not help that much. Just used when needed, and you'll be
fine from that point pretty much.
A - Strong, Standard Attacks. The A button is the most basic attack of the
game. This button is used to attack the opponent with swift, strong attacks.
Certain characters also have combo attacks, such as multi-kicks, more than
one attack per tap, or even quick, rapid-fire, consecutive punches and kicks
(only Captain Falcon, Sheik, Kirby, Link, and Young Link are capable of
this). The A button is good for quick hit-and-run moves, life-death
situations, and not allowing the opponent an attack. Several good attack
combos are also available with the A button, so it is useful in pretty much
every situation.
B - Weak, Special Attacks. The B button is a very useful attack in certain
situations. The B button is swift, weak attacks that usually stop opponents
from either using a certain move or stop them stop them (if you know what I
mean). For example, Yoshi's B move immobilizes enemies for a short period of
time, while Bowser's B move keeps enemies from using an attack. However, the
B button would not be good in a life/death situation, for it does minimal
damage to the foe. It would also not be good to start off a match because
the opponents will hardly budge at all. Some character's B moves also take
time to charge, and would not be good to attempt when enemies are close.
Just know when to use the B button, and it will be very useful to you. Just
wait and see.
X/Y - Jump. Just like the control stick in the upward direction, the X or Y
button is used to jump. However, it is easier and more recommended to use
than the control stick. For example, the control stick is a little harder to
maneuver into the desired jumping direction. With the X/Y button, all you
have to do is press it, then use the control stick to move in the desired
direction. It also has a less likelihood of ruining your game controller. I
have had experience - I used to use the control stick to jump, and the
control stick broke. Therefore, I recommend the X/Y button to jump, and not
the control stick, based on the fact that the control stick will ruin your
controller if used for jumping.
L/R - Shield/Block. Using the L or R button is probably the best move to use
when you want to protect yourself from a powerful attack. When pressing one
of these buttons, the character you control will put up a sort of forcefield
to shield themselves from harmful attacks, such as the C-stick moves. The
shield can not be penetrated, but can be stopped by grabbing the opponent
instead of attacking the opponent. Using it can be very helpful, but don't
use it too much. The forcefield only has a limited amount of time it can
stay on the field. Using it for too long will cause it to break, sending the
character flying into the air, and unable to move for a great amount of
time. However, mastering the shield is very helpful to many players, for it
lessens the amount of attacks you take, and therefore lessens the amount of
times you fall off the edge, or get blown into the sky. Using the L and R
buttons in this game are really helpful, and should be used effectively to
increase your strategies, and raise the chances of you crushing the
competition.
Z - Can be used in more than one way (ways listed below)
1. (Tapped) - Grab. When used close to an opponent, your character will grab
the opponent. This will mean grabbing them with their hands, beam, chain,
and even tongue! When used, the player may either continually press Z to
punch the opponent in their grip for a short period of time, or press a
direction on the control stick to throw the the player in the direction
desired. Each direction is a different move, so feel free to try each move
out, and see which one is the best for you. If the grab misses, you will be
unable to move for a short period of time, so be sure to be as accurate as
possible when attempting a grab. This way, you will have more time to fight,
rather than miss, then watch your opponent tear you limb from limb.
2. (Held) - Shield. If you miss your opponent, but continue to hold the Z
button, you will bring up a shield lighter than the original shield. This
shield, however, is different than the original. For one, it will last much
longer than the other shield. It also withstands attacks better, and will
hold off longer than the other shield. However, attempting to use it takes
longer than the other shield, so it is recommended than you only use it when
opponents are at least 3 seconds away from you, and not up close. This way,
you will not get hit as many times, and you will be able to pull it off
before the opponent comes to hit you.
C-Stick - Can be used in more than one way (ways listed below)
1. (In Melee) - Powerful, Charged Attack. Just to get this off my back, no,
the C-stick isn't the control stick. When I say C-Stick, I mean the yellow
stick on the bottom right hand corner of your controller that has a "C" on
it. When tilting the C-stick in a direction in a multiplayer mode, you will
unleash a blast of super-powerfull attacks. These super-powerful attacks can
be charged up for even more power, but only by pressing down and holding the
control stick and A button at the same time. When using the C-stick, be sure
to use it when enemies are at least .5 seconds away. The C-stick moves are
slow, and if used too late, you will be pummeled by the opponents faster than
you can count. Therefore, it is suggested that you don't do that, and simply
just charge the Control Stick+A.
NOTE: This will only work if you are playing in multiplayer modes. Do NOT
attempt to use this in 1 Player modes, for it will do nothing but mess up
your camera.
2. (In 1P Modes) - Alters Camera. When the C-stick is used in the one-player
modes, the camera will zoom in or zoom out. This is useful if you are near
sighted or far-sighted. To alter the camera's view, simply press down to
zoom in, and up to zoom out. The camera should be only used in certain
situations, and not be messed around with during a match, for it will only
let the opponent score hits on you. So, be sure to only use it when
seriously needed, and not when you're in a match.
Note: Just the other way to use the C-stick, altering the camera is only
available in the one-player modes. Do not attempt using the camera in the
multiplayer modes, for you will do nothing but throw punches and attacks at
the harmless air, while your opponents laugh at your stupidity.
Control Pad - Taunt. When the control pad is pressed in any direction,
you character will taunt the other players. This move has no use whatsoever,
but is fun to watch, for it is hilarious to see what your character does.
The only character who's taunt is actually useful is Luigi's, for his taunt
is a kick. When a player is close, use Luigi's taunt, and it will knock the
opponent into the air. Not only that, but the opponent takes 1% of damage!
Isn't that helpful!? Anyways, the taunt with other characters has no use at
all, but would be fun to use when an opponent shamelessly self-destructs
themselves, or when you knock them off.
Well, I hope that is enough information on the basic controls for you. I
could've done more, but even I was getting bored of typing how to use what
button. Anyways, at least that's over with.

4. YOSHI O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, time to tell those who don't know who Yoshi is to know who Yoshi is.
This section will talk about Yoshi in many areas, including who he is,
his personal profile, and him in this game.
Who is Yoshi? - Yoshi is a main character in the Mario Series. He appears in
several games with the gang, including the Mario Party series, Super Smash
Brothers series, and the Mario Kart series. Yoshi is a character who tends
to eat a lot, and is also, to most people, a very good character to be.
What did Yoshi start out as? - Even though most people think of Yoshi as a
true member of the Mario Series, he did NOT start out that way. When Yoshi
was created in 1991, he was the private transportation for Mario in the his
first appearance in a game, Super Mario World. As Yoshi became popular in
the games, he eventually received his own games, appearing in his own puzzles
and platformers. Because he became so popular with the Mario Series, not
only does he have his own games, but he also has become a main character in
the Mario Series.
What is Yoshi? - Yoshi is a un-existing (fictional) species of dinosaur.
Although Yoshi's normal color is green, Yoshi's can come in a variety of
colors, including pink, yellow, blue, red, black, and even white!
What is a Yoshi's Habitat? - Yoshis are usually content staying in their own
land, Yoshi's Island. However, some Yoshis have wandered to a few other
places, feeling the need to travel further. Yoshis are scattered throughout
the Mushroom Kingdom, and settle anywhere that fits the needs of their home.
What are Yoshi's Special Powers? - Yoshi has many special powers that only he
can perform. Although he seems a bit small, Yoshi is capable of swallowing
his enemies whole, no matter what size. However, instead of digesting them,
he either transforms for conceals them in a very hard egg shell. When
encased, Yoshi can then use the captured foe as a weapon to attack other
obstacles in his path. His tongue can extend to an unbelievable length, and
his jumping ability is infinite. His nose is capable of finding objects
submerged in waste or rubble, and he his light weight and great speed make
him a speed demon in battle.
What does Yoshi like? - I will just list a few of his favorites below.
Fruits, Jumping, Sleeping, Hiding in his shell, Flowers, and Enemies (Eating
them, that is!)
What does Yoshi NOT like? - Just like the section above, I will list just a
few of the things that Yoshi just plain despises.
Ghosts, King Boo, Monsters (Goomba, Piranha Plants, and Koopas all fit in
this category), and Bowser (sons and minions included).
What is Yoshi like in Super Smash Bros. Melee? - This is probably the most
important section about Yoshi, and therefore I reccommend that you red this
part very thoroughly. Sure, you now know who Yoshi is and what he's like,
but what is Yoshi like in Super Smash Brothers Melee? Well, Yoshi has been
given a few extras in this game. For example, instead of a forcefield used
to protect himself from attacks, Yoshi uses an egg as his shield to block
enemy attacks. Instead of shrinking, however, the egg begins to turn black
over time, because eggs aren't supposed to shrink! In the game, Yoshi has
an incredible second jump, and his attacks are swift and way powerful.
Although he has no long range attacks except his Egg Toss, Yoshi makes up
for that with his impressive speed and strong physical attacks. The only
bad thing about Yoshi is that he has no thrid jump! However, his second
jump is the biggest of all the other characters, so that's no really a
problem. his air dodge could be a third jump, but it doesn't do much.
Yoshi isn't favored for most players. He is not the best player, to most,
in the game. I use Yoshi the most, though, and I think he's the best
character you can be, so that is pretty much the most I can tell you about
Yoshi in this game.
As Wikipedia Explains for Yoshi in SSBM:
"In Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee Yoshi has a variety of
moves and is favored by semi-fast multiple strike gamers. His design in the
Super Smash Bros. series is similar to the older style used in his games
predating Super Mario 64. His shield is an egg as opposed to a bubble
(Instead of shrinking, Yoshi's egg-shield turns steadily darker until he can
no longer hold it out), and he lacks a true third jump, though he still can
jump higher and stay in the air longer by a rapid movement of feet. Despite
his lack of a third jump, his flutter jump is the largest second jump in
the game. Other second jumps that come close to Yoshi's flutter jump are
Kirby, Ness, Mewtwo, Jigglypuff, and Princess Peach. The flutter jump also
gives Yoshi resistance to being knocked away [17]. His air dodge in Melee
can substitute as a third jump. In both games, Yoshi is a fast and heavy
character with a unique playstyle and strong jumping ability.
His trademark moves are centered around eggs. He can swallow opponents and
lay them in eggs, and can throw explosive eggs from an inexhaustible supply.
Melee introduced the "Egg Roll" [18], in which he rolls around in a
fast-moving egg. This can be a very powerful move if used correctly. The Egg
Roll was copied to Mario Power Tennis as a Defensive Shot, which made Yoshi
change colors. It also reveals that Yoshi uses his tail as his main form of
physical attack. He uses it in a large number of his attacks including his
powerful downward smash.
In the third installment of the series, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a Yoshi's
Island stage has been shown (this time, based on Super Mario World 2 rather
than Yoshi's Story as in the previous installments), but Yoshi himself has
not been explicitly confirmed to be in the game yet. On the June 4th update
on the official Super Smash Bros. Brawl website a new music score known as
"Yoshi's Story: End" was added to the list of music from the game, complete
with Yoshi's "egg" symbol, further speculating Yoshi's return in Brawl.
Recently, there has also been a Yoshi's Island stage announced for Brawl
(with changing seasons, confirming the Winter Yoshi's Island stage will
actually be in the game). [19]
It is interesting to note that in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Yoshi's Japanese
Trophy directly states that "there are no males or females", meaning that
Yoshi's species is asexual."
Here's what Shadow Dino says about Yoshi.
"Who's Yoshi you say? Well, Yoshi is from the world of the Mushroom
Kingdom along with Mario, Peach, and Luigi. He's a dinosaur of some
sort. Early on he made weird sounds but now he speaks with a kind of
voice. He can use his tongue to his advantage and can throw eggs very
expertly. Yoshi started his career in the hit Super Nintendo game Super
Mario World where he was a constant companion to Mario and Luigi.
However, more of his past, or possibly his parent's life came to light
in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, where he became a full-fledged
video game hero with his classic Yoshi sound and egg throwing.
However, things went sort of downhill with the Nintendo 64. Even though
he appeared in Super Mario 64 to help out Mario and was a worthy racer
in Mario Kart 64, Nintendo sort of gave him a cutesy look in Yoshi's
Story. Sure, it gave Yoshi an actually voice but it made him one of the
"cutesy" rank along with Pikachu and Jigglypuff. Super Smash Brothers
gave Yoshi the chance to prove that looks can be deceiving, especially
in the hands of a Master.
Now he's back with a vengeance in Super Smash Brothers Melee. Armed with
his trusty eggs, his signature Ground Pound, and his tongue, Yoshi is
ready to take on anything. But the question is, are you ready?
Unfortunately, Yoshi has been considerably toned down since Super Smash
Brothers, as it is harder to make combos. However, he controls pretty
much the same way as SSB so only a few adjustments are needed.
Pros:
Can be powerful in his own way.
HUGE Second Jump
Down+B move scatters.
Can't be knocked out easily.
Practically invincible while airborne.
Cons:
NO Third Jump
Some attacks can be weak
Is quickly becoming more underrated than Jigglypuff.
Toned down since SSB, causing the con above
WAY too cute"
That's about all I can think about to tell you about Yoshi. If you feel I
need more, please read the very last section of this FAQ, Contact Info, for
information on how to tell me what I am missing.
For now, this section is done, so remember to check the last section when
you're done reading the FAQ.

6. MOVE DESCRIPTIONS O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those who wanted a better explanation for the moves in Chapter 5, I have
decided to make this for you. This one is more descriptive, and I hope you
enjoy this, because I didn't do this for nothing! XD
A - Left Kick. Yoshi hits his opponents with his left leg. It doesn't do
much to them, but it's a good attack to keep your opponents from attacking
you. It's also a quick move, so if you have a good opponent, this would
be best to counter their attacks.
DAMAGE: 2-3%
A+A - Left, Right Kick. Yoshi will first strike his opponent with the left
leg, then immediately switch to his right leg, and kick with it right after
the left. This is an even better move than just the A button, so you should
use this instead of just the left kick. It won't take too long to accomplish
this move, anyways. It also is effective for stunning characters, causing
them to not be able to accomplish a certain move. Works especially on
Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, Samus, Mewtwo, Donkey Kong, Marth, and Roy.
DAMAGE: 4-6%
A+Left/Right - Dino Kick. Yoshi will kick just like the left kick, except it
will be a bit more powerful than the regular. It's a decent move that's good
to knock players in the air. It's also slightly stronger than the Left
and Right Kicks, so if you want to use a quick move that not only delivers
good damage, but is also fast, I'd recommend you use this move.
DAMAGE: 6-12%
A+Diagonal Up - Left High Kick. Yoshi will kick into the air just like his
left kick, but instead will kick even higher than usual, causing the opponent
in front to be launched into the air. This attack is also more powerful than
the left kick, but it is a tad more difficult to pull off for you, so you may
just do A+Up or A+Left/Right instead. Even so, this is still another fast
move, and this would work good to temporarily stun an enemy, and finish them
off, so though it's tougher to get your Control Stick into that position,
I'd still prefet it over the Left and Left, Right Kicks.
DAMAGE: 5-13%
A+Diagonal Down - Left Low Kick. Yoshi will kick with his left leg, but it
won't lift very high off the ground. Instead, it will strike the opponent's
leg (or chest, depending on how tall the character is), causing them to trip
and land on the ground. This is great to stall the opponent, before
attempting to use a finishing blow. This move has a bit of strength, though
not as much as some of the other moves, so if you feel you're close enough to
a good finish, then use this.
DAMAGE: 5-10%
A During a Dash - Noggin Knock. During a dash, which is left/right with the
control stick twice, Yoshi will first begin to charge at a tremendous speed.
Then, when pressing the A button while he is charging, Yoshi will duck his
head and strike the opponent like a battering ram with great force. This
will cause the opponent to be either blown away, or stunned for a very short
amount of time. This move is great on opponents who have taken a high amount
of damage, or who are also trying to come right towards you. It is also good
to trick your opponents out.
DAMAGE: 4-9%
A+Up - Tail Snap. Yoshi lifts his tail into the air and snaps it back
almost immediately, rat-tailing the opponents and sending them into the sky.
It's a pretty decent move, but it isn't the greatest. It works extremely
well in the Multi-Man Melee, so if you want this move to be extremely useful,
look at my Multi-Man Melee Section, and learn how to put this move into good
use.
DAMAGE: 5-10%
A+Down - Tail Sweep. Yoshi will lay on the ground, back-side up, and will
turn 360 degrees, spinning his tail around behind him as he twirls. Any
for too close to this dinosaur will get whipped into the sky. This move
is extremely useful, expecially on tall opponents. Use it at the right time,
for it won't work on opponents too far away. It also takes time to get
ready for another attack after this attack is complete, so try not to miss,
or your opponents will get you easily!
DAMAGE: 5-10%
A+L/RSmash - Noggin' Floggin. This move is one of the most useful and
powerful moves that Yoshi can use. When you use this move, you can either
use the C-Stick or the Smash+A. When used, Yoshi will give a headbutt to the
enemies etiher to his left or to his right. This move can also be used to
score a perfect KO, for it is able to be charged, unleashing an immense force
towards the foe.
DAMAGE: 8-21% (charge for more damage)
A+UpSmash - Jumping Headbutt. Yoshi jumps about 1/4 of a foot into the
air, whacking an opponent above with his large and tough skull. This move
an be used to KO a foe in mid-air, to complete a difficult combo with a
finishing blow, or to suprise attack an opponent on the floor above you.
However, this move isn't as strong as the Noggin' Floggin, so be sure to
use it with care.
DAMAGE: 7-19% (charge for more damage)
DSmash+A - Double Tail Whip. Yoshi will swing around 360 degrees again, but
there's a catch. He will first spin 180 degrees, whipping opponents to just
one of his sides first. However, right after that, he will spin the
remaining 180 degrees, whipping opponents to his other side with his tail
again. This move is good for several things: it clears the area around you
if there are opponents to your left and right, making it a good move to
defend yourself. It also can blow opponents who have taken 100% damage or
more clear off the field, either to buy time to get an item, or to finish
them off. It's a very useful move, and probably the best move to use when
you are cornered.
DAMAGE: 6-19% (charge for more damage)
A (In the Air) - Yoshi Kick. Yoshi will do nothing more than kick in the
direction he's facing. This is the quickest aerial move, but there's
nothing more than that. It's good for tricking out your opponent. Usually,
opponents are jumping up to you, attempting to use a charged up move.
However, if you use this move, they won't be able to get you with their
stronger move, leaving them vulnerable to antoher attack soon after. It
prevents you from being hit, but the opponent will eventually get you back,
even if its KO'd soon after.
DAMAGE: 5-10%
Forward+A (In the Air) - Noggin' Dunk. Yoshi will come down, swinging his
powerful skull right into the opponent below. This move is one of the most
powerful moves that Yoshi can use, but there is more to it. It can stun
enemies who are hurt 30-50%, which is good to use a finishing blow, or
eliminate the opponent completely by knocking a for who is in the air
plummeting into the endlessness beneath.
DAMAGE: 4-17%
Backwards+A (In the Air) - Tail Wag. Yoshi will look behind him, and whip
opponents multiple times with his tail. A good move to hit opponents ready
to hit you. It may also catch them off guard, and you may be able to
get in a few other good moves into there.
DAMAGE: 3-12% (damage depends on the number of hits the opponents takes)
Up+A (In the Air) - Dino Flip. This is Yoshi's best juggling move. Yoshi
will strike opponents above him with his tail by spinning his head up, tail
behind him, and hitting them when he comes around. However, be careful
when using this move. Sometimes, you are slammed down when the other
opponent is in the air. Be sure to get them before you do, or else your
in for a world of hurt.
DAMAGE: 7-13%
Down+A (In the Air) - Flutter Kick. Yoshi will kick his feet under him
extremely fast, striking his opponents under him so quickly, they're not
able to escape. This move is great for attacking healthy opponents for quick
damage, and is also good to keep an opponent in the same spot while a Bob-Omb
strikes the unmoveable foe. This is the most powerful move, but only if you
get in over half of the kicks.
DAMAGE: 2-40% (depends on how many kicks hit the foe)
B - Egg Lay. This move is one of the cheapest, yet most useful moves Yoshi
can use. When this move is used, Yoshi will stick out his long tongue in
the direction in which he is facing. If an opponent is close enough, they
will find themselves caught on Yoshi's sticky tongue, and will be immediately
swallowed. Yoshi's head will enlarge, followed by his body, and then the
end will eventually come flying out of his backside, also known as the
"bottom" by most. When coming out of the "bottom," the opponent will be
encased inside Yoshi's powerful egg shell, and will therefore be
immobilized in the same spot for awhile. This will be a good opportunity for
you to attack them with no problem. You can either hit them continuously
with quick attacks, or you can charge up a powerful attack while they are
defenseless. Either way will get you some free hits. This move can also be
used when Yoshi's backside is facing the edge of a cliff. When an opponent
gets too close, you can easily send them off the edge with this move.
However, do NOT use this move against an experienced player, because they
most likely know how to free themselves quicker than usual. This attack may
be weak, but it is good to make your opponents annoyed, or get quick hits
if you need them.
DAMAGE: 6-9%
BSmash - Egg Roll. When using this move, Yoshi will encase himself in his
own egg, then begins to head towards his opponents, still sealed, at a
tremendous speed. By holding the B button, and turning the control stick
right or left, Yoshi will be able to turn the opposite direction, at an even
faster speed. However, because you are speeding Yoshi, he will be harder to
control, so use this move with care. Other than that, this move is very
quick, and gains speed as well as power as you continue the move. This move
is useful in many ways; it, first of all, is very hard for the opponent to
stop without being hit themselves. It's also good to dodge opponents, or
trick them by using it as an aerial attack. Use with care!
DAMAGE: 7-14% (Strength depends on how long the B button has been held.)
Up+B - Egg Throw. This is Yoshi's only long-range move, and is also his
only projectile move. When this move is used, Yoshi will chuck one of his
smaller eggs hurtling towards his opponents. If hit, the egg with explode
at close range, dealing a decent amount of damage to the foe it hits. This
move is good for edge hogging, stopping aerial attacks, and keeping your
distance when you have taken a great amount of damage. This is the only
long-range move Yoshi can use, so it's very useful when it comes to these
conditions.
DAMAGE: 12-14%
B+Down or B+Down (In the Air) - Yoshi Bomb. This is Yoshi's most powerful
non-chargeable move. When this move is used, either in the air or on the
ground, Yoshi will flip 360 degrees, then come straight down, bottom first,
landing on an opponent with meteor-like force. If the opponent is missed,
they can still be hit by the 2 stars emitted after Yoshi lands. This move
is a great aerial attack, so you're in luck if you want to use a move that
deals a lot of damage in a short amount of time.
DAMAGE: 15-20% (DAMAGE GIVEN FROM STARS: 1-2%)
Z - Sticky Tongue. This is Yoshi's grab move. When used, Yoshi's tongue
shoots out towards his opponent, but instead of eating them like in the move
Egg Lay, Yoshi will simply put them in his mouth without ejecting them from
his bottom. This is slightly shorter than Link's and Zelda's grab, and it
may not be able to grab onto an edge, but it's a pretty long-ranged move, so
it isn't that bad.
DAMAGE: 0%
A or Z (When Grabbed) - Chew. Yoshi will simply crunch the opponents in his
massive jaws, just like you would chew ordinary food. This move is a simple
move that can be used for quick damage.
DAMAGE: 1-3%
Foward (When Grabbed) - Spit Out. Yoshi will spit the enemy trapped inside
his mouth in front of him. This is good to deal damage, then quickly used
a powerful move before they can get away. Use a good finishing move to
put this move to good use.
DAMAGE: 2-4%
Backward (When Grabbed) - Spin 'n' Spit. Yoshi will spin around, or turn
180 degrees, and shoot his opponent the other way. This move is slightly
more powerful than the Spit Out, but still works exactly the same, and is
reccommended over the Spit Out.
DAMAGE: 3-6%
Up (When Grabbed) - Spit Up. Yoshi will, instead of shooting his enemy
to one of his sides, will shoot the opponent up into the air. This move is
good to use when you want to used a combo, or better yet, juggle your
opponent into a Knockout. It also deals a bit of damage, and although it
isn't too much, it is still a useful move.
DAMAGE: 4-7%
Down (When Grabbed) - Jump 'n' Spit. This move is the most powerful move
that you can use during a grab. Instead of shooting his opponent into the
air, Yoshi will jump into the air himself, then, in mid-air, will shoot
his opponent towards the ground. This move is useful, because when the
oppenent hits the ground, they will go flying into the air, which will leave
them wide open for an attack. Use this move over the Spit Up.
DAMAGE: 4-8%
Wow, this took a lot longer than I expected. It took 3 weeks to complete
this section. It would have taken less time if I didn't have homework all
the time...well, anyways, it's done and over with! ONWARD!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/
7. YOSHI'S STAGES O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, this section shouldn't take as long as the one above, because Yoshi
only has three stages. However, I will be as desciptive as possible (without
running on) to get you to know a little more about Yoshi's good three stages.
YOSHI'S ISLAND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yoshi's Island is where you'd wanna be! There are several neat little
extras and bonuses added to this stage. In the center of the field, for
example, there are 3 yellow blocks. If they are hit by any move or any item,
they will flip out of control, and anyone who falls into the pit is pretty
much a goner. There are also 3 blocks to the left and right of these blocks,
which can be used as platforms to dodge a move or come down with a powerful
attack. To the right of this stage is a huge hill, which is a good place to
get easy knockouts. Since there are no places other than 2 spots in here to
fall off the stage, use the hill as a slight booster to get slightly battered
opponents up into the sky. You can also continuously shove them with moves
to the right until they eventually are KO'ed because they got too close to
the edge. To the left of the field, there is the other place to knock them
into a pit, which is a pipe hill. The pipe hill goes steadily upward, then
ends up on another pipe, which is jutting straight out of the ground. Hit
one of the more damaged opponents off these pipes, and they'll pretty much
be goners.
This isn't the only thing that I like about this stage. This stage is so
rowdy, and increases the desire to fight at your best. The music gets you
pumping, and the brightness and background are really amazing, and are
worth the time to pause the game, and just gaze at for awhile. This stage
is a decent size as well, which is good for people to wander around more
freely. If this stage sounds good to you, you should try it out for yourself!
YOSHI'S STORY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Over here, Yoshi's wonderful stories and adventures can surely come true for
all of us! Several little helpful items and platforms are ready to help any
player who is in the game...and needs it! If you're about to fall off the
edge, there is a slight change that you will land on what appears to be a
Lakitu Cloud, shifting from one side of the stage to the other. If you run
out of jumps, this cloud may be on the side you're falling on, and if even
luckier, you will fall onto the cloud, saving you a loss of one life, or one
point. There is also the possibility of Shy Guys flying across the stage,
carrying pieces of food. If you hit them enough, they will drop these pieces
of food, which can be eaten to heal 1-7% of your damage each.
The helpful doo-dads aren't the only thing that is magnificent about this
peaceful stage. There are 3 floating platforms that can be used by the
players in the game, and the background also looks like it came out of a
story book. The background looks 2-dimensional, and the water looks as if
it were pieces of cardboard cut out of a box, or pieces of paper cut out
with scissors. Although this stage seems like it's for kids, the brightness
of it makes it a fun place to be. Plus, this stage is small, so it's like
it really is for toddlers! Have a fun time knocking away enemies who have
nowhere else to go!
YOSHI'S ISLAND - NINTENDO 64 - PAST STAGE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Say hello to a blast...from the past! The Yoshi's Island Nintendo 64 version
is back in this game. This is the only Yoshi stage that has to be unlocked,
and it isn't easy getting it. To get this magnificent stage, you must get
over 700 yards in the Homerun Contest using Yoshi alone. This is difficult
to accomplish for one reason; only one move can by used, but it's extremely
hard to land all the hits. That's right; this stage must be unlocked by
using the Flutter Kick.
Other than the horrible unlocking part, this stage is great. There are
clouds, 3 to be exact, scattered to the left and right of the stage. If
blown to one of the sides due to heavy damage, you can land on these clouds,
regain you footing, and spring back onto the stage. However, the clouds
only last for a limited time. If you stand on it for too long, the cloud
will disappear from right under your feet, sending you into an almost
guarenteed Self-Destruct. There are also 3 platforms on the stage, where
you can use them for helpful moves or escape from enemies.
The stage's overall appearance is amazing. In the center of the stage is
a smiling heart, surrounded by vines with fruits, and it sways from side to
side as the match progresses. The ground appears to be a book, which is
opened halfway, just to be fair to the participants in the game. The
background of the stage is several blended warm colors, which make you feel
cozy and happy as you continue to beat your opponents until they are knocked
out. This is my personal favorite stage, but you may find it a bit
different than what I think. Try it out!
Phew, that wasn't too long, now was it? Let's move on to the topics and
chapters you've been waiting for.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/
8. CLASSIC MODE O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the topics you've been waiting for; the topics that actually
help you get through the game! We'll start of with the most basic, the
Classic Mode. Read these with care, because these are the only ones that
you really NEED to know!
If you don't have time to read the entire thing, here's just the line-up for
your matches.
STAGE 1: Normal Versus Melee
STAGE 2: Team Versus Melee
STAGE 3: Break the Targets
STAGE 4: Normal Versus Melee
STAGE 5: Giant Versus Melee
STAGE 6: Snag The Trophies
STAGE 7: Normal Versus Melee
STAGE 8: Multi-Man Versus Melee
STAGE 9: Race to the Finish
STAGE 10: Metal Versus Melee
STAGE 11: Master Hand Battle
Ok, off to the big descriptions!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAGE 1: NORMAL VERSUS MELEE
TIME LIMIT: 5 MINUTES
OPPONENT: RANDOM
DESCRIPTION: Yoshi is put against a random computer, who's skill is based on
the difficulty you selected. Fight to the best of your ability against this
computer. Don't worry; the computer only has one life! Taking it out
should be no problem. That is, unless it's Very Hard. Even so, you should
be fine.
TIP: Be sure you know the best strategies for defeating each character. If
you don't, you may have trouble in this mode. Clones of other characters
basically use the same techniques, so be ready.
STAGE 2: TEAM VERSUS MELEE
TIME LIMIT: 5 MINUTES
OPPONENT: 2 RANDOM CHARACTERS
DESCRIPTION: Yoshi is teamed with an ally against two other computer
controlled characters. The team name of your opponents is the name of the
first team member. During the match, your ally will have a heart above his
or her head, so you know who your opponents are. Your skilled allies should
be fairly good at coming to your aid, but it all depends on how well you do.
If it's set to the Very Hard difficulty, your opponent will be a lot better
than you are. You should be able to take him down if you are good. If
you're at the Very Easy, Easy, or Normal levels, you don't really have to
worry about that. Fight these insane people, and move on to the third
stage. (Your ally does NOT move on with you!)
TIP: Don't let your teammate die. Try using the Egg Throw from a distance,
and use the Double Tail Whip when the opponents are on both sides to rack
up major damage in one hit.
STAGE 3: BREAK THE TARGETS
TIME LIMITE: 2 MINUTES
OPPONENT: 10 TARGETS
DESCRIPTION: This is the first bonus stage you have in Classic Mode. 10
targets are scattered around the stage, and your job is to break all of them
within the time limit. You only have 2 minutes! You may have plenty of time
in the Target Test Mode, but here, you really have to put your skills to the
test. For more information on Break the Targets, see Section 12 of this FAQ,
Yoshi's Target Test.
TIP: Try watching a few videos of the World Records, or someone who can get
below 20 seconds. That should help you with your move accuracy. Also, do
try practicing on your own. Without that, it's really hard to get it just
right.
STAGE 4: NORMAL VERSUS MELEE
TIME LIMIT: 5 MINUTES
OPPONENT: RANDOM
DESCRIPTION: This is just like stage 1. The computer is a 1-life random
character. Just defeat him or her within the time limit, and move on.
Don't worry; it's not harder than the first time. If it's a better
character, then yes, it'd be harder.
TIP: Be sure you know the best strategies for defeating each character. If
you don't, you may have trouble in this mode. Clones of other characters
basically use the same techniques, so be ready.
STAGE 5: GIANT VERSUS MELEE
TIME LIMIT: 5 MINUTES
OPPONENT: RANDOM GIANT COMPUTER
DESCRIPTION: This stage is similar to stage two, but...it isn't exactly
alike. You are teamed with two random computer allies, and you opponent...
is...huge!!! Work together with your teammates, and defeat this gargantuan
to advance. Since your opponent is extremely large, he's really hard to
knock off the edge. The Flutter Kick delivers some decent damage, as
well as the Dino Dunk. Your skilled allies should be fairly good at coming
to your aid, but it all depends on how well you do. If it's set to
the Very Hard difficulty, your opponent will be a lot better than you are.
You should be able to take him down if you are good. If you're at the
Very Easy, Easy, or Normal levels, you don't really have to worry about
that. Just take the colossal foe down, and you'll make it to the next
stage; a big relief for you, too.
TIP: Use the Flutter Kick at the very top of the opponent. Since they are,
almost every kick will land, and the opponent will take massive damage.
STAGE 6: SNAG THE TROPHIES
TIME LIMIT: 2 MINUTES
OPPONENT: 3 TROPHIES
DESCRIPTION: Yoshi must jump around the platform and hit the 3 trophies
falling from the sky into the pot, which is in the middle of the stage, in
the time given, which is most likely not needed. You don't necessarily
have to get all of them; it'd just be nice to get them. This is sort of
testing your abilities, and awarding you after you prove your worth. If
you're new, you may get 1 or 2. Just have fun with it; there's no real
rush, or requirements.
TIP: Use several aerial attacks. You hardly need the ground attacks in this
stage.
STAGE 7: NORMAL VERSUS MELEE
TIME LIMIT: 5 MINUTES
OPPONENT: RANDOM
DESCRIPTION: This is the third and final Normal Versus Melee you will have
to complete in Classic Mode. Like Stages 1 and 4, you have to defeat your
random opponent in the given time. Even if the character is harder than
the other two times, I think it should be fairly easy to handle.
TIP: Be sure you know the best strategies for defeating each character. If
you don't, you may have trouble in this mode. Clones of other characters
basically use the same techniques, so be ready.
STAGE 8: MULTI-MAN VERSUS MELEE
TIME LIMIT: 5 MINUTES
OPPONENT: 10 OF THE SAME RANDOM CHARACTER
DESCRIPTION: In this stage, you are put against 10 of the same random
character. The difficulty of knocking them off the stage depends on the
difficulty you selected before you began. Defeat all 10 opponents in the
given time. Using powerful Smash attacks should take them out in one hit,
even in the Very Hard difficulty. They probably don't want you to suffer
as much as you do in the Cruel Melee. It'd take forever to beat Classic
Mode that way. Alright, once you defeat them, get ready for another
break; the Race to the Finish!
TIP: The opponents are easy to knock out as long as you have selected an
easy level. Even if you didn't use powerful attacks to knock them out
quickly.
STAGE 9: RACE TO THE FINISH
TIME LIMIT: 42 SECONDS (CHANGES FOR OTHER CHARACTERS)
OPPONENT: NONE
DESCRIPTION: This is simply a test to see how fast and agile you are
using Yoshi. There are several doors scattered around the stage. Each
door further than the one before gives more coins. There is also a trophy
that can be found as you progress through the stage. Simply get to one of
the doors within the time limit to pass.
TIP: Avoid hitting the roof, and do not attempt cliff-hangers. If you want
to get to the end goal, do not get the trophy (if you already have one of
them) and take the bottom path. The middle path is too time consuming, and
the top path is hard to get through without hitting the sides.
STAGE 10: METAL VERSUS MELEE
TIME LIMIT: 5 MINUTES
OPPONENT: RANDOM METAL CHARACTER
DESCRIPTION: In this match, you are put against a character who has infinite
Metal Boxes. This means that he has a Metal Box that never fades away.
The opponent is harder to knock away because of this. However, you'll
most likely find a way to get them off the stage. Defeat the metal
opponent in the given time.
TIP: Use several Smash Attacks and Throws rack up major damage. Finish
the opponent off with a charged Smash Attack.
STAGE 11: MASTER HAND BATTLE
TIME LIMIT: APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES
OPPONENT: MASTER HAND (POSSIBLY WITH CRAZY HAND)
DESCRIPTION: This is the final stage you have to complete. In this stage, you
are placed against the Master Hand, who has no lives, but does have a HP
gauge. The HP range from 150 to 360 based on the difficulty you selected
before beginning the Classic Mode. Simply defeat him within the time limit.
If you are playing at the Normal difficulty or higher, and have completed
the previous stages in a time of 15 minutes or less, the Crazy Hand will
appear one you have halved the Master Hand's HP. He has 3 bonus moves.
If this happens, defeat both of them within the time you have left.
TIP: If the Crazy Hand appears, go for him first, because the Master Hand
is weaker. Use the Flutter Kick to take out a huge chunk of HP at a time,
and avoid being hit by the Crazy Hand as best as you can.
Below are the things that appear after completing Stage 11.

Ok, here we go! (NOTE-This section is a LOT longer than the Classic Mode
Section. If you really don't have the patience, it'd be best to just see
for yourself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAGE 1: THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM
TIME LIMIT: 7 MINUTES
OPPONENT: GOOMBAS, KOOPAS, PARATROOPAS, AND 15 YOSHIS
DESCRIPTION: This Stage is the very first 'adventure' course in the SSBM
Adventure Mode. At the very beginning, you will start out seeing nothing.
Continue to your right, and jump over the small hill. Kill the 2 Goombas,
and jump over the larger obstacle. There, you will find 4 Koopas. Koopas
can be stepped on, and tapped like a normal Green Shell to attack the remaining
Koopas. Continue to your right, kill 2 more Goombas, and jump over the small
hill. As you proceed, you'll eventually appear at a hill. Take down the 4
Goombas in your path, then go on to wipe out 2 Koopas. Jump over another
small hill, and best the 3 Goombas there. You should see a pipe. Jump over
that to find yourself in enemy territory. Paratroopas and flying Koopas are
all over the skies. Goombas are all around the floor. Put all your skills
to the test, and defeat them all. Be careful not to rush, though. There is
water at the bottom, and if you're careless, you might fall in. Move on to
reach a large wall blocking your way. Jump the platforms to the top to fight
15 Yoshis! Jump off the other side of the wall to find a few more flying
Koopas and Goombas across a pipe bridge. Since you previously took down a
large group of them, they should be no problem. Jump onto the ledge at your
right, and you'll see Toad running back and forth near the finish line. Take
a good look at the scenery, then continue on to Stage 2.
TIP: This is your first stage. Don't worry if you mess up the first time;
it's easy to get used to.
STAGE 1-2: PRINCESS PEACH'S CASTLE
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: MARIO (OR LUIGI) AND PEACH
DESCRIPTION: This is sort of like a regular Versus Match, except the fact
that you must verse 2 opponents! Since there are two of them, you may
have a bit of trouble fighting them. Just use your quick attacks if you
are cornered, and use your charged attacks to finish them off quickly. This
should be a breeze if you do.
TIP: Finish stage 1 with a 2 in the seconds spot (42, 32, 12, etc.) and you
will fight a team of Luigi and Peach. You will know you did it correctly if
you see a cutscene where Luigi jumps on Mario, sending him off the cliff. If
you beat him, you will face him after the Credits. Beat him then, and you
will unlock Luigi!
STAGE 2: KONGO JUNGLE
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: 2 TINY DONKEY KONGS
DESCRIPTION: This stage is pretty simple. There are 2 Donkey Kongs, but both
of them are tiny! Use your quick moves to deal easy damage to these guys,
then finish them off with a good Double Tail Whip. They're usually out
within 30-50%, so it'd not really hard to take out the tiny duo. Like a
regular tiny character, smash attacks are efficient in this. Good luck; you
won't really need it.
TIP: Don't wait for them to be hurt around 90% before finishing them off like
you usually would. They should be around ready to be defeated at 50% or so.
A good way to deal better damage would be using downward moves, as the Tiny
guys are too small to be taken out with a Headbutt.
STAGE 2-2: JUNGLE JAPES
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: GIANT DONKEY KONG
DESCRIPTION: What's the opposite of two tiny Donkey Kongs? One BIG Donkey
Kong! With Yoshi, you'd better do your best. Rack up major damage with your
Flutter Kick, as it is quite a distance from Giant DK's head to the ground,
then finish him off with a strong grab or good Noggin Floggin. It's fairly
easy to knock him out. Sometimes, it takes me about 4 seconds. He often
self-destructs, so just be ready for a hard, but sometimes easy match.
TIP: Don't use your Smash Attacks immediately. Hitting him with one of those
when his damage is low won't hit him very far, and he'll only hit you with a
powerful fist. Keep at a distance, and use long-range moves, then deal
massive damage when he's around 100%.
STAGE 3: UNDERGROUND MAZE
TIME LIMIT: 7 MINUTES
OPPONENT: RE-DEAD, LIKE-LIKE, OCTOROK, AND 5 LINKS
DESCRIPTION: The Underground Maze is a Legend of Zelda stage, and it's fairly
tricky. There's 6 different paths, with only one leading to the finish, a
levitating Tri-Force symbol. The other 5 paths lead to Links. You start out
in a dead-end. Go to your right, and you'll find yourself in a large room.
This room is filled with numerous Re-Dead foes, and 2 Like-Likes. Defeat as
many as your want, or none at all. Pick a path, and see if it leads to the
finish. The top-left corridor leads down a path of stairs. Continue down
to find either the finish or a Link. Link is an extremely swift character,
so be sure to use you quickest moves until he's hurt around 80-100%, then
use a charged Smash Attack when his defenses are down. (Do this is all
Links you find). Continue to your left, and you find a tunnel heading
downward. Jump down, and find yourself in a lava room. Defeat the Like-Like
in the bottom left corner if you want to, then proceed to your right. Fight
the Link or reach the finish, then continue. You'll end up in a
mechanical-like room with a Like-Like. Defeat that, and proceed
to the left, to find yourself back in that large room. Enter the
bottom-right path, and you'll see a downward path. Jump down, and fight the
Link/reach the finish. Proceed to your right, and you'll end up in an upward
tunnel resembling a large antfarm. Defeat the numerous Re-Dead in there,
then jump to find a few Octoroks. Defeat them, then jump to the path on your
left, and fight a Link/reach the finish. Enter another anthill tunnel,
defeat the Octorok and Like-Like, and exit either to your left to the large
room, or continue upward. Defeat the Link/reach the finish, then continue
up to defeat some more Re-Dead and a Like-Like. Jump to a ledge on the left,
and you'll fight a Link/reach the finish. You must have reached the finish
by now, if you haven't already. If it isn't the finish, you messed up
somewhere.
TIP: You don't really have to view the paths in this order. You can go in
any order you please; this way just helps you remember where you were and
where you weren't. My score was over 125,000 doing it this way, so it also
gets you a decent score.
STAGE 3-2: HYRULE TEMPLE
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: ZELDA
DESCRIPTION: When getting out of that terrible maze, you'll face the
beautiful Zelda. Don't let her looks fool you; she has a bunch of powerful
moves. She can also transform into a quicker Shiek. In her Zelda stage,
attack her with a few powerful moves, being sure to use quick moves as well.
When in her Shiek stage, use as many quick attacks as you can before
finishing her off with a good Noggin' Floggin, or Double Tail Whip.
TIP: Hyrule Temple is a large stage; it'd be unwise to attempt an upward
shot. At the bottom, she'd last forever, and even at the top of the stage,
she'd have to be damaged around 120-130% to even go out of the screen.
Attack her when she's at the side for an easy KO around 70%.
STAGE 4: BRINSTAR
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: SAMUS
DESCRIPTION: Brinstar is a very small, and dark stage, with Samus waiting to
wipe you out. Samus has a mixture of strong and weak moves. Most of her
moves are very quick, and she has a variety of long-ranged moves. Use
many close-ranged moves as possible, then finish off with a good charged
Smash attack. Be careful; Samus is one of the better characters in the
new remake of this game. Also, once you take her out, it aftermath won't
be pleasant.
TIP: Break the stage apart when Samus is charging up on that spot, or when
she's down. She'll either lose, or fall into the strange yellow liquid at
the bottom. Even if she survives, she'll come back up, ready to be hit with
a good finishing move.
STAGE 4-2: ESCAPE FROM BRINSTAR
TIME LIMIT: 40 SECONDS
OPPONENT: THE LAWS
DESCRIPTION: After defeating Samus, you'll enter a cut-scene, where it seems
as though Brinstar is falling apart. You have to get out of there! You'll
start out at the bottom of an upward course. Jump from platform to platform
until you come across a sort of virtual platform. Jump onto a ledge, and
you'll find another virtual platform. Jump onto there, then make your way
up more platforms similar to the ones at the beginning, and you'll find a
place that's more high-tech. Jump from neon-platform to neon-platform until
you reach the very top. Get into the yellow area in the center to complete
this stage.
TIP: Don't die. >_>
STAGE 5: GREEN GREENS
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: KIRBY
DESCRIPTION: You'll first enter a cutscene where Brinstar blows up. You'll
then end up in happy old Green Greens! Before you celebrate, I must inform
you that you are in a match with Kirby, a short pink ball. Fighting Kirby
will be slightly different than you usually fight. Kirby is short, and
therefore is unable to be hit by the higher moves. Use several ducking
moves, then finish off with a good Double Tail Whip.
TIP: Don't waste your time attempting to blow Kirby up by hitting a bomb
block. Trust me; 90% of the time, it's not Kirby who explodes.
STAGE 5-2: GREEN GREENS
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: 15 KIRBYS (W/ABILITIES)
DESCRIPTION: Alright, 15 Kirbys. They should be like the 15 Yoshis you
faced before, right? WRONG! These Kirbys each have other character's
abilities! Dodge their extra abilities, with are usually long-ranged or
powerfully close-ranged, then hit them with good strong attacks to finish
them off. If surrounded, use a Double Tail Whip to clear them. They're
probably as weak as the Tiny Donkey Kongs you faced earlier, if not
easier, so they shouldn't be to hard to get out of your way.
TIP: Look at which hat Kirby is wearing. Use slightly different tactics
based on the ability the Kirby has.
STAGE 5-3: GREEN GREENS
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: GIANT KIRBY
DESCRIPTION: You only play this stage if you defeat the 15 Kirbys within 30
seconds or less. You now face a Giant Kirby! Though he can suck you up for
you Egg Laying ability, he should be as easy as the Giant DK you've faced
before. Use the Flutter Kick to rack up some damage, and finish off with a
good Smash attack. Kirby's almost as good of a jumper as you are, so
jump as best to your ability as possible. Even so, Kirby's light, even
lighter than the large Donkey Kong, so be sure to take it out quickly for
some really good points. It shouldn't be too hard.
TIP: Giant Kirby flies easier than most other characters. Use this to your
advantage.
STAGE 6: CORNERIA
TIME: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: FOX
DESCRIPTION: welcome to Corneria, where Fox awaits your arrival. Fox is a
fox, if that wasn't obvious enough already, and like foxes, is extremely fast
don't waste your time using too many Smash attacks. Use you quickest moves
possible, and use your long-ranged moves. When he's low enough, use a Smash
Attack when he's down, or hit him with a good Yoshi Bomb to finish the job.
Corneria is a decently-large stage. Defeating opponents could get extremely
difficult. However, there is very little room on the sides, so a good grab
or Smash attack could send them flying in about 50-60% even. Take them
out there!
TIP: Though quick, Fox's gear causes him to be quite heavy! When at either
end of the stage, use Yoshi's Egg Lay to throw him off the stage. If he
hasn't lost already, charge a Smash attack to finish him off.
STAGE 6-2: CORNERIA
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: FOX (OR FALCO) AND 3 ARWINGS
DESCRIPTION: You will see a cutscene where the StarFox team is comminucating
with each other in their Arwings. They will come to your opponent's aid!
You opponent with now either be Fos or Falco. You can only fight Falco if
you've unlocked him, but even that doesn't guarantee you'll fight him. It's
basically the same match as last time, except Arwings are shooting at the
Corneria. Finish your opponent off the same as last time, or let the
Arwings take him out. If fighting Falco, the only difference is he's a
higher jumper, and his gun can stun you. Like I said before; the sides are
a good place to take your opponent out. Use your skills to the advantage.
Just get them out quickly, and move on to the next round.
TIP: Avoid the Arwings. They can deliver a lot of damage to you if you are
hit.
STAGE 7: POKEMON STADIUM
TIME: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: 15 PIKACHU/PICHU/JIGGLYPUFF/MEWTWO (IN ANY COMBINATION)
DESCRIPTION: These Pokemon are ready to take you out! However, they're
easier to take out than most other opponents. You can either take them out
with one good hit, or you could drive them completely insane by jumping
around with Yoshi's good jumping ability, then take them out one by one
with the aid of Poke Balls. Most of the Pokemon are strong, such as
the Legendary Birds, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, and even Scizor, Snorlax, and
and the 3 Kanto Starters. Using them will ease your victory, so you
can put them to good use, though you can pretty much take them out without
them. Still, it's fun to see the beat like that.
TIP: The Pokemon can easily defeat your opponents. Use them to your
advantage.
STAGE 8: F-ZERO GRAND PRIX
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: F-ZERO CARS
DESCRIPTION: Whoah, you've just appeared in the middle of a race-track!
You'd better get out of there! Travel across the stage from the start to
the finish. When cars are coming, you'll see a red exclamation point, with
a warning sound. Get onto platforms when you hear this. Dash across the
stage until you find the road is split 90 degrees. This would be a great
place to stay until the cars pass. Continue running and jumping onto the
pink platforms until you find the road ends. There will be a black platform
with an arrow, telling you to keep moving. Jump onto it, and continue until
you make it to 2 gaps. Make it past there by using Yoshi's high-jumping
abilities. The road will begin again at the top. Continue down the road,
getting onto those pink platforms if necessary, until you find the red and
green finish line to complete the stage.
TIP: Yoshi's Egg Roll is quicker than his dash. Egg Roll across the stage
for a faster time.
STAGE 8-2: MUTE CITY
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: CAPTAIN FALCON
DESCRIPTION: Now that you've succesfully completed that dern race, you may
now fight Captain Falcon, one of the best racers in Mute city! captain
Falcon is both equally fast and strong. Begin the match by dodging him a
few times, as he often uses moves that activate on contact at the beginning.
If you successfully dodge these moves, however, he will be temporarily
paralyzed. Use this time to charge up a smash move, or just hit him around
a few times. Mute City's platform will fall a few times, allowing cars
to hit you. When this happens, use your jumping ability to get away from
them as much as possible, and Captain Falcon takes on damage due to his
heavier weight. When he's around 80-90%, you should be able to use a Noggin
Floggin on him, and if he doesn't die instantly, he probably won't be able to
jump back onto the platform.
TIP: Captain Falcon isn't one of the best jumpers. Knocking him off the
cliff, or dodging him at just the right moment should end the match fairly
quick.
STAGE 9: ONETT
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: 3 NESSES
DESCRIPTION: Finally, a stage that doesn't have anywhere to fall! It seems
as if it were some average neighborhood, but it's really a stage, and home to
Ness! It also looks like he brought some company; two more! Ness has a
combination of fast and slow moves, and though he's fairly slow, he has a
wide variety of long-ranged moves to make up for that. If you're not
careful, together they could rack up 50% damage on you before you even get a
chance to touch them! Knocking them off the stage is no longer available, so
you'll either have to try to get some good damage on them, and hit them with
a charged Smash, or try and be lucky, and send them off the sides, as you
still can do that. There are also cars at the bottom, and you are warned
when they're coming when you see the same signs as in F-Zero Grand Prix (see
Stage 8). They work the same as the cars in that stage as well, so if you're
lucky, they may send a Ness or 2 (possibly 3) off the side.
TIP: Try taking them out one at a time. Going for all 3 at the same time
will only result in them staying alive for a longer time, and giving you more
damage than if one were gone.
STAGE 10: ICICLE MOUNTAIN
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: TOPIS, POLAR BEARS, AND 2 ICE CLIMBERS
DESCRIPTION: Icicle Mountain is, obviously, a mountain. With snow. Ok,
moving on! It's recommended that you keep going upwards, because the stage
is moving in that direction. Along the way, you can wipe out Topis and
Polar Bears to raise your score. The stage may be moving slowly at the
beginning, but after awhile, it begins to speed up. Don't stay at the bottom
too long; you'll go out of the screen, and lose a life! Once things
begin to calm down, you'll find your opponents, 2 groups of Ice Climbers,
waiting for you at the top. Technically, you're up against four opponents.
Using the Double Tail Whip on this stage is excellent, as your opponents will
fly left and right, possibly sending them off the stage, or causing them to
ricochet right back at you, making them vulnerable for another good attack.
Finish them off with a good smash attack, either a Noggin Floggin for a
Double Tail Whip, and move on to the next stage.
TIP: Kill the Popo! If you knock Popo off the stage when Nana's still on,
they'll both lose. If you kill Nana first, you'll still have to fight Popo,
so it's best if Popo goes first.
STAGE 11: BATTLEFIELD
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: 15 WIRE FRAMES
DESCRIPTION: The battlefield looks like a lot of trouble, and it is. 15 Wire
Frames are ready to battle you. However, they're not too difficult to
defeat. Just like the Yoshis, Kirbys, and Pokemon, they're easily wiped out
with one good attack. Just beat them up as you did the 3 previous times, and
you'll be able to move on to the next round. Also, the gravity is slightly
different than the other stages. You stay in the air longer than you do
in the other stages. Use this to your advantage. The Flutter Kick can be
used more here, and for a longer period of time. Though you don't really
need the Flutter Kick, it'd be really nice to see how much Yoshi can do here.
TIP: Use the grab move often in this stage. When you throw them
successfully, they may sometimes hit another Wire Frame, causing multiple
Frames to lose with just one quick move.
STAGE 11-2: BATTLEFIELD
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: METAL MARIO AND METAL LUIGI (IF LUIGI IS UNLOCKED)
DESCRIPTION: Just when you thought you'd move on, one/two strange figures are
seen falling from the sky. They're Metal Mario, and Metal Luigi (or just
Metal Mario, if you haven't unlocked Luigi yet). They're basically the same
character, except have an unlimited Metal Box item, causing them to be
harder to KO. Use the Flutter Kick to deal quick and massive damage to
each of the Metal Mario Brothers, then put an end to them by using a
super-charged Noggin Floggin to send them off the stage. Don't worry if it
takes you awhile; to get them even relatively close to being KO'd, you may
have to damage them 150%. Once again, the gravity is very low here. You
can use this to your advantage. The Flutter Kick would last longer here,
since you are suspended in the air more. As long as you rack up damage
without getting hit much yourself, you should be ok.
TIP: Use the grab move to send them off the stage. When they attempt to get
back on, hit them with a Noggin Floggin to prevent them from getting onto
the stage again. This provides for a quicker kill. You may also use Egg
Lay to send them to an almost-100% likely doom.
STAGE 12: FINAL DESTINATION
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: BOWSER
DESCRIPTION: Your final match awaits you at Final Destination, where Bowser
is pumped, and ready to take you out. Bowser is an extremely powerful
character, who has almost no quick attacks at all. However, one good hit
sends you off the stage, so be careful! Use the Flutter Kick to deal
good damage to him, then use the Yoshi Bomb to send him into the air. Even
if that doesn't kill him, he'll fall back down, vulnerable for a good
Noggin Floggin. Once he's out of the way, sit back, watch the credits,
unlock characters, get your trophies, and have a nice rest of the day!
You finally get to rest...or do you?
TIP: Even in the Very Easy difficulty, Bowser isn't Very Easy. It'd be
best if you took him out about as fast as the Master Hand in the Classic
Mode. I'd estimate he was at least a Level 5 in the Melee Mode.
Therefore, do your best, unless, that is, you don't want to.
STAGE 12-2: FINAL DESTINATION
TIME LIMIT: 4 MINUTES
OPPONENT: GIGA BOWSER
DESCRIPTION: To fight Giga Bowser, you must have the difficulty
at Normal, with any stock you want. You have to beat the other 11 stages in
18 minutes or less without using a continue, you beat Bowser in less than one
minute. When you defeat Bowser, his trophy will fly from the depths, and
will transform into a meaner, greener, Giga Bowser! His attacks are a lot
stronger than Bowser's, and he is a lot larger as well. The Flutter Kick
would be extremely useful against him, as will the Yoshi Bomb and the Egg
Throw. When he's 100% or more damaged, use a Noggin Floggin repeatedly to
finish him off for good. After you defeat him, THEN you can enjoy the
credits, get your characters, get your trophies, and have a good rest of the
day.
TIP: This time, you really should watch out of Giga Bowser's attacks. Even
a weak one could send you off the edge. Repeatedly use the Flutter Kick and
Yoshi Bomb to deal damage and prevent him from attacking you until you get
enough damage on him to KO him. Once you complete this stage, you get the
Giga Bowser trophy!
Congrats! You beat the Adventure Mode! Now try the next level-up, or play
another game if that's the last thing you had to do. Pff...naw, you'd play
again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/
10. ALL-STAR MODE O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last, but not least, we have the All-Star Mode, which must be unlocked before
you are able to play this mode. It's slightly different than the previous
modes, so be sure to read this one more carefully.
If you don't have time, here's a brief overview.
STAGE 1: 1 vs 1 Match
STAGE 2: Safe Zone
STAGE 3: 1 vs 1 Match
STAGE 4: Safe Zone
STAGE 5: 1 vs 1 Match
STAGE 6: Safe Zone
STAGE 7: 1 vs 1 Match
STAGE 8: Safe Zone
STAGE 9: 1 vs 2 Match
STAGE 10: Safe Zone
STAGE 11: 1 vs 2 Match
STAGE 12: Safe Zone
STAGE 13: 1 vs 2 Match
STAGE 14: Safe Zone
STAGE 15: 1 vs 2 Match
STAGE 16: Safe Zone
STAGE 17: 1 vs 3 Match
STAGE 18: Safe Zone
STAGE 19: 1 vs 3 Match
STAGE 20: Safe Zone
STAGE 21: 1 vs 3 Match
STAGE 22: Safe Zone
STAGE 23: 1 vs 3 Match
STAGE 24: Safe Zone
STAGE 25: Flat Zone
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAGES 1, 3, 5, AND 7: 1 VS 1 MATCH
TIME: UNLIMITED
OPPONENT: RANDOM
DESCRIPTION: Yep, no introduction. Kind of a weird way to start, huh?
Anyways, you're versing one opponent. The opponent is completely random, so
just do your best, and KO your opponent as quick as possible. You have more
matches after this one, and your health doesn't recover. You do have items
later, but you're limited, so it's best if you play safe.
TIP: Be sure you know the best strategies for defeating each character. If
you don't, you may have trouble in this mode. Clones of other characters
basically use the same techniques, so be ready.
STAGES 9, 11, 13, AND 15: 1 VS 2 MATCH
TIME: UNLIMITED
OPPONENT: 2 RANDOM
DESCRIPTION: It's basically the same as the 1 vs 1 match, except there is
2 opponents now. Use all the skills you know to take them both out. This
is slightly more difficult than a 1 vs 1 match, but you should be able to
handle it. Since there are 2 opponents, the Double Tail Whip could be
quite useful during this series of charades. Take one out first; having
two opponents slashing at you is a lot harder than getting rid of one, and
having one left over. Simply go for one opponent more than the other, and
take it out, so all you have to worry about is one lonely foe.
TIP: Be sure you know the best strategies for defeating each character. If
you don't, you may have trouble in this mode. Clones of other characters
basically use the same techniques, so be ready.
STAGES 17, 19, 21, AND 23: 1 VS 3 MATCH
TIME: UNLIMITED
OPPONENT: 3 RANDOM
DESCRIPTION: Just when you thought 2 computers was hard, try out 3! This
could get kind of difficult, because you're now trying to keep track of
3 opponents. This is especially brutal on the Very Hard level. Be sure
you get in the quickest punches possible, and try to avoid them using
Yoshi's good jumping. Double Tail Whip would work best here to avoid
getting hit the most. Do try to take one opponent out before the others;
like I said before, having one opponent remaining is a lot easier than
having two or three hitting you at the same time. You'd hardly find any
time to attack. Just get rid of them one by one, and get ready for
your final match.
TIP: Be sure you know the best strategies for defeating each character. If
you don't, you may have trouble in this mode. Clones of other characters
basically use the same techniques, so be ready.
STAGES 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, AND 24: SAFE ZONE
TIME: UNLIMITED
OPPONENT: NONE
DESCRIPTION: Finally, a place where you can just mess around! But,
seriously, this place is your only Safety Zone. When you appear, there are
sometimes trophies in the far left of the Safety Zone. There are 3 Heart
Containers here, because your health doesn't recover. Use these when needed
most. In the background, you'll see the characters you're fighting next,
as well as who you've defeated. On top of all of this, You can really mess
around here, though. Kick nothing, practice your attacks, run endlessly on
both sides without losing lives, and when your finally ready, attempt to pose
in the worm hole, and get ready for your next match.
TIP: Try to save as many Heart Containers as possible for the final stage.
If you use them up too early, you'll be in a lot of trouble. Budget them;
use them only when you're hurt over 100%.
STAGE 25: FLAT ZONE
TIME: UNLIMITED
OPPONENT: 20 MR GAME AND WATCH
DESCRIPTION: This is the final stage. 4 opponents? NO! Multiply that by 5,
and you're correct. Mr. Game and Watch is a character that has extremely
quick, yet powerful moves. His A button move really gets you annoyed, as he
hits you continuously. Plus, there are 20 of them. Do your best to beat
them in this digital world, and you will be over with All-Star Mode.
TIP: This stage is extremely small. Hit the Mr. Game and Watch with a
charged Smash attack to send them flying off the screen. You could also wait
for the digital tools falling from the sky to do their work.
That's basically the All-Star Mode. When you beat it, have fun watching
the rest of the credits and whatnot. Be proud; you beat all 3 modes! Now,
try them the next level up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/
11. YOSHI'S EVENT MATCHES O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some Event Matches require you to use Yoshi, or have Yoshi in it. Those
events will be shown here, as Yoshi's main events are sometimes rather
tricky. Event 50 is included for those who aren't used to the high levels of
difficulty in this game, and require Yoshi's special and unique move to
defeat it.
EVENT 4: DINO-WRANGLING
YOU: 3 LIVES
OPPONENT: YOSHI
DESCRIPTION: Look out, there's a HUGE Yoshi ready to take down little you!
Don't worry; he really isn't that hard. He a large guy, so use the Flutter
Kick to give him good damage, then finish him off with a super-charged
Noggin Floggin, and send him into the cardboard water below!
TIP: There are ways of getting him easily. My fastest time is .52 seconds.
You just have to find out how.
EVENT 10: ALL-STAR MATCH 1
YOU: 2 LIVES
OPPONENT: MARIO, DONKEY KONG, YOSHI, PEACH, AND BOWSER
DESCRIPTION: Alright, this match is packed with all of Nintendo's super
stars! Each of them have different strengths and weaknesses, so really
show them what you've got. Each of the stages are different as well, and
you only have 2 lives, so use them wisely.
TIP: Be sure you know the best strategies for defeating each character. If
you don't, you may have trouble.
EVENT 13: YOSHI'S EGG
YOU: 1 LIFE
OPPONENT: DONKEY KONG, PIKACHU, AND FOX
DESCRIPTION: You are required to use Yoshi in this match. DK, Pikachu, and
Fox are attacking you, and there's a Yoshi Egg with you. Your goal is to
protect it, and keep it from breaking for a full minute. Jump away from
your opponents as much as possible, then hit them with a Yoshi Bomb to keep
them from ever getting to you. It may sound hard, and it may take a few
tries, but after awhile, you'll get it.
TIP: When you have the Yoshi Egg in your hand, DO NOT attempt to attack with
the A button. You'll throw the egg, causing it to take some damage. You
really don't want that to happen in this stage. I let it break when there
was 2 seconds on the clock left. Trust me; it doesn't feel good.
EVENT 24: THE YOSHI HERD
YOU: 1 LIFE
COMPUTER: 29 YOSHIS AND 1 GIANT YOSHI
DESCRIPTION: If you thought defeating Event 4 with 3 lives was difficult, try
this; a Giant Yoshi and 30 other Yoshis with one life! They all know the
exact same techniques as you do, so this one may be a little tougher. Yoshi
is a well-balanced character, who is quick, yet fairly weak. Use your jumps
to catch up with theirs, then use a good Yoshi Bomb to take them out. When
the Giant Yoshi comes, if what you did in Dino-Wrangling worked for you, use
it here. You only have 2 minutes to defeat them all, so be sure to bujget
your time.
TIP: Don't try any moves in the center. If you accidentally do the wrong
move, you break the blocks and fall though, and there's no guarantee that
you'll get back up, even with Yoshi's high-jumping ability.
EVENT 50: FINAL DESTINATION MATCH
YOU: 1 LIFE
OPPONENT: MASTER HAND AND CRAZY HAND
DESCRIPTION: Alright, you met Master Hand. Now meet his friend, Crazy
Hand! Crazy Hand is basically a Master Hand, except he's the left hand.
He has a bunch of unique moves that the Master Hand doesn't posess, so be
careful! Together, they can also complete a series of painful combinations,
so be sure that you're ready for a hard Event. Each hand starts with 300 HP,
so get going, and good luck. You'll need it!
TIP: Go for the Crazy Hand first. That gets the tougher one out of the
way. Yoshi's Flutter Kick is exceptionally useful in this event as well.
That's about all I need to tell you about in Event Mode. Next up; Target
Tests! Oh, joy!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/
12. YOSHI'S TARGET TEST O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is just a short walkthrough on how to get the best time you can on
Yoshi's Target Test. If you do this correctly, you should get at least
a time of 10 seconds after several tries.
1
-----
The first target is on a platform above you to the right. Jump there and
you'll see it. Break your first target. It's not too hard to hit; a
quick attack would do you well.
2
-----
The second target is above you in a U-Shaped platform. Double jump, then
use Up+B (Egg Throw) and guide the egg so that when it explodes, it is near
or on the target. It will pop, and if done correctly, the target will break
as well.
3
-----
The third target should be on your upper right if you fall back onto your
original platform. Jump, and hit it with an aerial attack. Many people
jump and press A, or just use a Noggin Dunk. And aerial attack should be
fine.
4
-----
If you fall down past your original platform, you'll see the fourth target
moving up and down on another platform. Attack it with good timing, or
else you'll completely miss it, and lose valuable time.
5
-----
Drop to the left of the platform holding the fourth target. The fifth
target should be near you inside the ditch on the ground. Hit it with a
quick attack.
6
-----
If you look to the right, you will see the sixth target on the other side of
the ditch you're in. Use the Egg Throw, and guide the egg so that it will
explode on the target.
7
-----
The seventh target should be on the left side of the gap. Run up to it, and
attack it with any quick attack desired. Usually, people use Yoshi's
charge, but it's your choice.
8
-----
The eighth target is above you, in a Reverse-C Platform. Use the Egg Throw,
or jump and attack it with an aerial attack to get it quick and efficiently.
9
-----
The nineth target is below you, on a moving platform. Don't worry about it
right now, though; for quicker results, get the tenth target first.
10
-----
The tenth and final target is in a C-shaped crevice, which is not able to
be gotten without getting onto the moving platform, jumping up, and attacking
it. However, there is a quicker way to get it for the perfect time. Fall
as soon as you get the eighth target. Now, use the Tail Wag as soon as you
are next to the wall that is keeping you from the target. Yoshi's tail will
go through the wall, and hit the Target behind it (pretty nifty, huh?).
Then, if timed correctly, you will not need to use a second attack, and will
fall straight down onto the nineth target, hitting it with the same Tail Wag
you used for the tenth target. If you don't, then use a quick attack, such
as the A button, to complete your Target Test.
Well, that's about the best help I can give you. Don't worry if you mess
up 10 times in a row; this isn't an easy thing to do. My best record is 8.19
seconds; the record is about one second better than that, so even if you get
8 seconds flat, you should be pretty proud of yourself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/
13. YOSHI'S HOME-RUN CONTEST O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yoshi's Home-Run Contest is fairly difficult to pull off with a long flying
distance, but you get the hang of it after a LOT of practice.
There are 2 techniques used to get a longer distance than you usually do.
Both of them require the Home-Run Bat item, found to the left of the
platform. Though it's not required, I think it'd be nice to use it, as
it gets you a further distance. To use it, simply press the A button and
the Control Stick at the same time, and you'll hear the Home-Run Bat sound.
SSkeeto did an extremely good job explaining Home-Run techniques. Most of
the techniques listed are the techniques he uses. Bat Moves are also made
by SSkeeto. funkytoad has also listed some uses for Yoshi's Home-Run
contest. At the end, I will tell you the techniques I'd most recommend, and
possibly even a video.
BAT MOVES:
~~ Bat Drop Down+A ~~
Stand right next to the Sandbag. Jump. Wait until you are at the peak of your
jump, then drop the bat. Immediately after you drop the bat, press Down and A
(don't wait). The combo will do 45% damage max.
~~ Bat Drop Forward+A ~~
Stand right next to the Sandbag. Jump. Wait until you are at the peak of your
jump, then drop the bat. Immediately after you drop the bat, press forward+A
(don't wait at all). The combo will do 35% damage max.
It is best if you use the technique you feel would be best for you. Doing a
level of difficulty too great could result in a lot of frustration. Now,
SSkeeto's recommendations will be posted first, followed by funkytoad's, and
finally mine. There will also be some other techniques listed, courtesy of
SSkeeto, and finally at the end, some videos of some good Home-Run Contest
players. Have fun!

~~~~~~~~~
Easy-Grab the bat, and hit the bag with a forward+a for 12%. Now, jump at it
with a tiny jump, done by very slightly tapping the X or Y button. Do your
Down+A attack in the air. Now, do 4 more of these down+a attacks in the air,
with tiny jumps, and then smash it. The bag should be over 180% after you hit
it. This will send it at least 2150, if not much more.
Hard-This strategy was given to me by my friend Scott Rogoff ([email protected]).
This will require quite a bit of patience, and skill to do. Grab the bat, and
quickly do a tiny jump and do the down+a in air. When you hit the ground,
press L, to do an L recover. This lets you get up a tiny bit faster, and will
allow you to do _6_ down+a attacks in air total. This will send it at least
2800 feet, and possibly over 3000. I have never been able to manage it :(
Another Yoshi strategy that I've stumbled upon (and broken 3000 with) is as
follows:Grab the bat, and jump backwards, above the bag. When you're above
it, press Z to let go of the bat. Now do a forward+A attack in mid-air, to
spike the bag down. Now grab the bat and then do a tiny jump, then do a
down+A attack in mid-air as quickly as you possibly can. Do 4 more of the
tinyjump+down+A attack things, then smash the bag with the bat. Depending on
how much damage you want before the hit, you'll probably have to do 2 or 3
L-Cancels. I hit the bag with 207% (227% after the hit).
SpikeDragon

Remember; not everyone uses the same techniques. If you have a technique
you use yourself, I'd be more than glad to hear them. Send them to me
via e-mail, and I can see how you do it! Scores included would also be
interesting, as I can compare your scores with other scores as well.

14. YOSHI'S MULTI-MAN MELEE O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yoshi's Multi-Man Melee. He's not one of those characters where you can
defeat it easily. However, if you are a whiz at this kind of stuff, then
I'd recommend you use your skills here. I will list 4 ways of completing
this, as I will explain the easiest way to defeat the computers, which
involves button mashing, then I will list the more complex ones, which
are medium, hard, and the method used by the World Record Holder.
EASY
~~~~
My brother has tried this several times, and he believes that it is by far
the simplest way to defeat them. At the start of the round, you simply
use the Egg Roll back and forth along the bottom platform. When the
Wire Frame count becomes 75, use the Double-Tail Whip continuously in the
center. When the count becomes 51, then you must jump with Yoshi's good
second jump, then come down with a Yoshi Bomb when the Wire Frames are
clumped together. Though I am not used to this type of method, I would
highly recommend this for anybody who isn't experienced with this game
just yet, but just wants to defeat the Multi-Man Melee to unlock a new
character, Falco.
My Best Time: 4:26:56
MEDIUM
~~~~~~
This method is best used by people who are able to defeat at least one
Level 9 by themselves. This method is a lot more complicated than the
Easy method, but is a lot easier compared to the Hard Method. At the
beginning of the 100-Man Melee, use the Tail Sweep to get rid of the
Wire Frame that appears at the bottom. After that, try using the Dino
Flip on the enemies who continue to come down. It is quicker than
using the Egg Roll and Yoshi Bomb technique, but you get battered around
a lot. If you make it out with under 150%, then you're lucky, I
personally never use this method because I'm not good with the Dino Flip.
However, if you feel you can do it, go ahead.
My Best Time: 3:40:69
HARD
~~~~
This method is probably used by those really pro players. I personally
enjoy using this method the most, as I feel it runs smoothly, but you get
to decide which method you feel like using. You start off the 100-Man
Melee by using the Egg Throw to hit the character on the top left just as
it's coming down. For the Wire Frame who appears right next to you, use
the Tail Snap to send him upwards and off the top of the screen. Repeat
this method until the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Wire Frames begin to enter. Use
the Egg Throw continuously on the characters who appear on the top left
corner, and the mid-right section of the screens, while using the Tail
Snap on the character at the bottom. When the other 2 Wire Frames finally
jump down to your level, use the Double-Tail Whip, or another quick and
efficient move to take them out. Repeat this until you get to the final
Wire Frame, when you jump up onto the top mid-platform, and await for it
to appear. When it does, finish it off with a good Yoshi Bomb. This is
a lot more complex than the first 2 methods, but if you really want to try,
don't expect it to come easy. You might wait around 50 tries before you
successfully nail it, and that's only your first time. Keep practicing!
My Best Time: 2:57:81
WORLD RECORD
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alright, I have used this method, and I did receive a way better score than
I did before, but this is EXTREMELY hard to pull off. I tried 206 times (yes
I kept count), before I got even within half a minute with the World Record
score. I'd recommend you not try this method, but I will post it here for
you to practice, or try once, maybe twice. Ok, you start out the match by
using the same method you used in the Hard level, using the Egg Throw on the
enemy that appears in the top left, and using the Tail Snap on the character
that appears right next to you. It seems as easy as the hard level, but when
it comes to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Wire Frames, that's when it gets REALLY
complicated. When the 3rd Wire Frame begins to enter the Match, you must
first strike the new one with a good Egg Throw, then use the tail snap on
the Frame that appears next to you, and finally another Egg Throw on the
Upper-Left Frame. When the 4th one appears on the screen, you go completely
out of the pattern you were using before. You go insanely whacko, using a
combination of Tail Sweeps, Dino Flips, and Egg Throws. Tail Wags and Yoshi
Bombs can also be used in this method, but I am not really good with using
those. You may be, though. Anyways, when it gets to the 75 Wire Frame mark,
use the same method you were using at the beginning, as it is similar to the
way you started out. However, it will begin to get strange again, and you
will eventually have to add a few Yoshi Bombs to it. You will have to use
a Tail Sweep every once and awhile, but I mess up on that several times, so I
just forget that part, causing me to get a worse time. You probably should
not forget it if you want to go for the world record. I don't. >_< But,
moving on, you continue the same method you did in the first 25 until you get
into the 51 stage. At this point, you begin to get crazy, using a series
of Tail Sweeps, Egg Throws, Yoshi Bombs, and Tail Snaps. On the very last
Wire Frame, jump onto the middle platform, and use a good Yoshi Bomb to
finish the job. Personally, I don't like this method, but it does give you
a better time.
My Best Time: 2:12:10
Out of your curiosity, here's a WAY better player, and his time.
Time: 1:50:33
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqNtSNCP6FY
Well, that's about all I have to say about the 100-Man Melee. If you really
think you're good, try the Cruel Melee!

15. YOSHI'S SOUND TEST O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yoshi's songs have been fairly updated in this game. I really liked the
music in this game, but it all depends on the person's taste. The music
will just be slightly explained, with the Stage Description included (from
Section 7, just so you don't have to scroll back) then will be given a link.
YOSHI'S ISLAND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stage: Yoshi's Island
Brief Description: This music is sort of quick-paced. It really has a catchy
tune, and it's mainly played with a sort of string instrument. It really
keeps you in the mood of the game.
Description (Stage): "Yoshi's Island is where you'd wanna be! There
are several neat little extras and bonuses added to this stage. In the
center of the field, for example, there are 3 yellow blocks. If they are hit
by any move or any item, they will flip out of control, and anyone who falls
into the pit is pretty much a goner. There are also 3 blocks to the left and
right of these blocks, which can be used as platforms to dodge a move or come
down with a powerful attack. To the right of this stage is a huge hill,
which is a good place to get easy knockouts. Since there are no places other
than 2 spots in here to fall off the stage, use the hill as a slight booster
to get slightly battered opponents up into the sky. You can also
continuously shove them with moves to the right until they eventually are
KO'ed because they got too close to the edge. To the left of the field,
there is the other place to knock them into a pit, which is a pipe hill. The
pipe hill goes steadily upward, then ends up on another pipe, which is
jutting straight out of the ground. Hit one of the more damaged opponents
off these pipes, and they'll pretty much be goners."
Estimated Time: N/A

YOSHI'S ISLAND 64
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stage: Yoshi's Island (Past Stage)
Brief Description: This music is, unlike the SSBM Yoshi's Island, more easy
going. It's played with a woodwind instrument. Good for those calm players,
who really like to chill.
Description (Stage): "Other than the horrible unlocking part, this stage is
great. There are clouds, 3 to be exact, scattered to the left and right of
the stage. If blown to one of the sides due to heavy damage, you can land on
these clouds, regain you footing, and spring back onto the stage.
However, the clouds only last for a limited time. If you stand on it for too
long, the cloud will disappear from right under your feet, sending you into
an almost guarenteed Self-Destruct. There are also 3 platforms on the stage,
where you can use them for helpful moves or escape from enemies.
The stage's overall appearance is amazing. In the center of the stage is
a smiling heart, surrounded by vines with fruits, and it sways from side to
side as the match progresses. The ground appears to be a book, which is
opened halfway, just to be fair to the participants in the game. The
background of the stage is several blended warm colors, which make you feel
cozy and happy as you continue to beat your opponents until they are knocked
out. This is my personal favorite stage, but you may find it a bit
different than what I think. Try it out!"
Estimated Time: N/A
Website: http://vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/gamecube/index-classic.html
YOSHI'S STORY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stage: Yoshi's Story
Brief Description: This music is also simple, and easy-going, and is good for
well-balanced players. It's personally my favorite music, so I hope you enjoy
it as well.
Description (Stage): "Over here, Yoshi's wonderful stories and adventures can
surely come true for all of us! Several little helpful items and platforms
are ready to help any player who is in the game...and needs it! If you're
about to fall off the edge, there is a slight change that you will land on
what appears to be a Lakitu Cloud, shifting from one side of the stage to the
other. If you run out of jumps, this cloud may be on the side you're falling
on, and if even luckier, you will fall onto the cloud, saving you a loss of
one life, or one point. There is also the possibility of Shy Guys flying
across the stage, carrying pieces of food. If you hit them enough, they will
drop these pieces of food, which can be eaten to heal 1-7% of your damage
each. The helpful doo-dads aren't the only thing that is magnificent about
this peaceful stage. There are 3 floating platforms that can be used by the
players in the game, and the background also looks like it came out of a
story book. The background looks 2-dimensional, and the water looks as if
it were pieces of cardboard cut out of a box, or pieces of paper cut out
with scissors. Although this stage seems like it's for kids, the brightness
of it makes it a fun place to be. Plus, this stage is small, so it's like
it really is for toddlers! Have a fun time knocking away enemies who have
nowhere else to go!"
Estimated Time: N/A
Website: None found (links appreciated)
YOSHI'S VICTORY MUSIC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stage: None
Brief Description: It's really short, and comes after Yoshi successfully wins
a match. It's played by string instruments, and is really nice to hear after a
hard-won game. I don't believe it changed since the first Super Smash
Brothers, so if you really liked the finish from the previous game in the
series, this should be music to your ears.
Description (Stage): None
Website: None found (links appreciated)
That's about all of Yoshi's music in SSBM. If I missed some, please tell me,
and send me a link.

16. YOSHI'S TROPHIES O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All trophies in which Yoshi is in are going to be found here. This section
will give you the basics of the trophies (description, how to obtain, etc.)
MARIO AND YOSHI
First Game: Super Mario World
Game Date: 9/91
Description: "Yoshi was first introduced in Super
Mario World, and the sight of Mario riding the
helpful character soon became an enduring
image. Despite his Cape, Mario can't fly while
astride Yoshi. The pair can make huge jumps
and drift slowly back to earth, though. As
a last resort, Mario could leap off Yoshi's
back to safety."
How to obtain: Unobtainable in North America
Picture: http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/6143/yoshitrophyvi1.jpg
YOSHI
First Game: Super Mario World
Game Date: 8/91
Description: "Yoshis are gentle, fleet-of-foot dinosaurs
that make their home on idyllic Yoshi's Island.
They come in a variety of colors and have
evolved an interesting trait to help increase
their numbers: they can transform anything they
swallow into an egg. With adhesive tongues
and bottomless bellies, Yoshis have been
known to eat anything."
How to obtain: Defeat Classic Mode
Picture: http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/7819/yoshitrophy3yg7.jpg
YOSHI (B - Egg Lay, Smash+B - Egg Roll
First Game: Super Mario World
Game Date: 8/91
Description: "To make up for his lack of powerful airborne
attacks, Yoshi has a miraculous jumping ability
and is resistant to damage while in the air.
Yoshi can also swallow a foe and transform him
or her into an egg: try doing this close to an
edge! The speed and power of the Egg Roll
increases if you hold down the B Button, but
it'll be tougher to control."
How to obtain: Defeat Adventure Mode
Picture: http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/7061/yoshitrophy4bn2.jpg
YOSHI (Up+B - Egg Throw, Down+B - Yoshi Bomb)
First Game: Super Mario World
Game Date: 8/91
Description: "Yoshi has no third jump, so the timing of his
second jump is of vital importance. The angle
and distance of his Egg Throw can be altered by
how you tilt the Control Stick and how long you
press the B Button. When Yoshi lands after
doing his Yoshi Bomb, stars appear on either
side of him, making it hard for enemies to
deliver counterattacks."

17. CLOSING/CREDITS O /
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, this FAQ may be long, and may be in my own words, but I didn't do it
all by myself. I couldn't have finished this FAQ without the help of several
sites and individual people. I will read off sites and people who have
really helped me, even if they just a little hint, suggestion, or pointer.
I'd like to thank Wikipedia for its articles on Super Smash Brothers Melee
and Yoshi. I used those for little tips here and there, and I used the
Yoshi article to make up most of the facts on Yoshi in section 4. Thank
you Wikipedia!
Secondly, i'd like to give credit to the Super Smash Brothers: Melee
Instruction Booklet, which came with the game itself. It told me a few
of the names of the moves, and I just have to give credit to it, because
the FAQ would be missing information without it.
I'd like to thank Shadow Dino. I used a tiny portion of his info on the
moves list and I also used his most of his damage precentages on the move
list, and therefore he deserves a bit of credit for it.
I'd like to thank the following individuals on GameFAQs for a few helpful
games, hints, tips, or anything that made me going on this FAQ.
-Shadow Dino
-magic155
-SuperDoodleMan
-AlienBabalien
-SSkeeto
-funkytoad
-(Will add more as more hints and tips come in)
I'd like to thank CJayC and Sailor Bacon for keeping GameFAQs safe for
everyone and also for accepting my FAQ. I hope this will help all people who
are in need of help with Yoshi on this game.
I'd like to thank my mom for buying this game for me on my 9th birthday,
which was 4 years ago! I'd still like to give her a very late "thank you"
though, so here it is!
I'd like to thank you for reading my FAQ. After all, I didn't just do this
for fun, you know! ^_^''
Anyways, thank you so much for reading my FAQ on Yoshi. May Yoshi rise above
the rest, and may you continue your life.
Thank you again,
SpikeDragon
P.S. - As I've told you already, I know Brawl's coming out. Don't ask why I
started on a Yoshi FAQ. I finished half before finding out about Brawl, so
I figured it would be best to finish. Hope Yoshi pleases you in Brawl! Hope
he didn't get worse, or completely messed up.
