''Yoshi's Story'' Player's Guide. Page 56.</ref> and '''red snakes'''.<ref name=guide/> When stepped on, both play carnival-esque music, but the music is slightly different depending on the color of the snake. The music can also play either forward or backwards, depending on the current direction of the snake. Should a Yoshi lose a snake, the Yoshi can always find it again at its original spot. Otherwise, once a snake moves, it never stops. Blue snakes are encountered first, and they move in a horizontal zigzagging motion, while red snakes move in a vertical zigzagging motion, necessitating [[jump]]ing to stay on board; both change direction when landed upon. The incline that the snakes travel in varies between each. | ||
