Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. Brawl features an upbeat arrangement of the theme, titled "Obstacle Course" arranged by Shota Kageyama, and it can be played on the Yoshi's Island stage.

In custom stages and the Sound Test, only the spring and summer variation is available.

"Obstacle Course" returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where the seasonal variants have once again been combined into a single medley track, this time titled "Obstacle Course - Yoshi's Island". "Yoshi's Island" also returns, now titled "Yoshi's Island (Brawl) ". Both tracks can be played on any Super Smash Bros.-series and Yoshi-series stage.
