Snakes[1] are creatures that float in the air and can be used as moving platforms in Yoshi's Story. When a Yoshi steps on one, the Snake will start flying in the air. They are only encountered in the first area of Stage 3-1: Cloud Cruising, in which they are found en masse.
Snakes come in two types: Blue Snakes[2] and Red Snakes[2]. When stepped on, both will play carnival-esque music, but the music is slightly different depending on the Snake and plays either forward or backwards, depending on the Snake's path. Should a Yoshi lose a Snake, the Yoshi could always find a new one at the original spot it was found at. Otherwise, once a Snake moves, it never stops. Blue Snakes are encountered first, and move in a horizontal zig-zagging motion, while Red Snakes move in a vertical zig-zagging motion, necessitating jumping to stay on board. The incline that the Snakes travel in varies between each, and the distance traveled on each interval is inconsistent. As such, a Green Snake can gradually gain or lose altitude over several changes in direction, and a Red Snake can do the same with either left or right.
