Editing Kappa Mountain

'''Kappa Mountain''' is the largest mountain on [[Yoshi's Island]].  It is the setting of many levels within the ''Yoshi'' series.

Kappa Mountain first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', in which it was the location of the [[Yellow Switch Palace]].

Kappa Mountain starred as one of the mountains in World 5 in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.  As it is the only named mountain on Yoshi's Island, it may be then suggested that it is the main setting.  Kappa Mountain is a common ski resort among Yoshis.

==''[[Yoshi's Story]]''==
Kappa Mountain returned in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', its last appearance.  Here it was the setting of Page 3: Summit (or at least, as much as it was in ''Yoshi's Island'').  Or, more specifically, it was the setting of Stage 3-3: Poochy & Nippy and Stage 3-4: Frustration.  Stage 3-1: Cloud Cruising took place at the mountain's foothills, while Stage 3-2: Tall Tower took place around an icy tower.

Residents of Kappa Mountain include many [[Bumpty|Bumptys]] and [[Raven|Ravens]], along with [[Goonie|Goonies]].  Many enemies in the world would later on inspire the enemies of later games such as ''[[Paper Mario]]''.  On such example is [[Don Bongo]], a rubber monster that highly resembles [[Tubba Blubba]].  Another example is [[Cloud N. Candy]], a cloud monster that may have been inspiration for [[Huff N. Puff]].  However, some creatures appeared only once, such as the [[Centipede|Centipedes]] and the [[Snow Guy|Snow Guys]].

-The name Kappa comes from {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|a mythical creature}} in Japan, which has a water-filled, bowl-shaped depression on the top of its head. If the water runs out, the ''kappa'' dies. The lake in the middle of the mountain in ''Super Mario World'' looks like the head of a ''kappa'', and the whole mountain could be thought of as a ''kappa'' lying on its underbelly.
