In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', the '''Smile Meter''' (or '''Smilometer''')<ref>''Official UK Nintendo Magazine'' Issue 65, page 28.</ref> is a version of the Health Meter depicted as a smiling flower with white petals and a round nose that appears in the upper left-hand corner of the screen during gameplay. Normally, the Smile Meter has a total of eight sections, signified by the eight white petals positioned around the circular center of the smiling flower. In addition to displaying the health of the [[Baby Yoshi]]s, the Smile Meter also represents their current [[point|mood]]. | In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', the '''Smile Meter''' (or '''Smilometer''')<ref>''Official UK Nintendo Magazine'' Issue 65, page 28.</ref> is a version of the Health Meter depicted as a smiling flower with white petals and a round nose that appears in the upper left-hand corner of the screen during gameplay.

When a Baby Yoshi takes damage from touching enemies or other hazards or consuming certain items or enemies such as [[pepper]]s or [[Black Shy Guy (Yoshi's Story)|Black Shy Guy]]s (unless the Black Yoshi or White Yoshi | When a Baby Yoshi takes damage from touching enemies or other hazards or consuming certain items or enemies such as [[pepper]]s or [[Black Shy Guy (Yoshi's Story)|Black Shy Guy]]s (unless it is the Black Yoshi or White Yoshi), the petals gradually fall away from the center of the flower, starting with the topmost left petal and going counterclockwise. The color and expression of the flower also change. The face when the meter is at full health is red with a big smile, at partial health is yellow with a slight smile, and at no hit points remaining or the Baby Yoshi's loss is blue with a frowning, lip-biting face with hair-like filaments on it. Two additional expressions for the flower are available: One expression involves its eyes being closed while wearing a huge grin with its petals rapidly shrinking and growing when the Baby Yoshi is [[Super Happy]], and the other expression is a green, shocked expression used as a transition when the last few (or all if a Baby Yoshi falls down a pit or otherwise instantly loses) hit points on the meter are lost before the flower's face turns blue and frowns. The music in the levels is also affected by certain states of the Smile Meter. The music remains unchanged when the meter is at full or partial health, but when there are no petals remaining, the music slows down to a slower, more lethargic and somber version of the level's music. Conversely, attaining the Super Happy status changes the music to a rock arrangement of the level's theme. | ||
The Baby Yoshis can take damage only up to nine times. The Smile Meter loses one petal when a Baby Yoshi eats something he dislikes. The Smile Meter loses three petals when a Baby Yoshi touches an enemy or a certain hazard. Being hit one additional time while the flower's face is frowning results in the Baby Yoshi fainting and being captured by [[Baby Bowser]]'s [[Toady|Toadies]]. The Baby Yoshis can regain their health by eating [[fruit]] or enemies or collecting a [[Special Heart]], regenerating lost petals and making the flower begin smiling again. | The Baby Yoshis can take damage only up to nine times.
