Yoshi's Story (theme)

"Yoshi's Story" is a musical theme composed by Kazumi Totaka for the title screen of the game of the same name. It is often paired in later arrangements with "Yoshi's Song", the main theme from the same game.

Super Smash Bros.
Super Smash Bros. features two arrangements of "Yoshi's Story". The first arrangement is included in the track "Yoshi's Island Stage", which is a medley arrangement of "Yoshi's Song" which plays in the first part of the track, and "Yoshi's Story" which plays in the second part of the track. It plays on the Yoshi's Island stage.

The second is a brief arrangement that serves as Yoshi's victory theme and plays on the results screen whenever Yoshi wins a fight.

The former arrangement returns in several later games in the Super Smash Bros. series. It returns in Super Smash Bros. Melee, now titled "Yoshi's Island N64", where it can be played on the stage of the same name that also returns from Super Smash Bros. It also returns in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, now titled "Yoshi's Story", where it can be played on the Yoshi's Island stage from Super Smash Bros. Melee. It also returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, now titled "Yoshi's Story (64) ", where it can be played on any Super Smash Bros.- and Yoshi-series stage.

The former arrangement returns in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, now titled "Yoshi's Story Ver. 2", where it can be played on the Woolly World stage, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, now titled "Yoshi's Story (Melee) ", where it can be played on any Super Smash Bros.- and Yoshi-series stage.

The second is a new brief orchestral arrangement similar to the one heard in Super Smash Bros. Melee that serves as Yoshi's victory theme and plays on the results screen whenever Yoshi wins a fight.

The former arrangement returns in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, where it can be played on the Yoshi's Island, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, where it can be played on the Woolly World stage, and Super Smash Bros.
