Health Meter: Difference between revisions

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 consumes them), 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.

A flower that resembles the Smile Meter appears in the minigame [[Loves Me...?]] from ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''
