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.
The name Kappa comes from a mythical creature in Japan, which has a waterfilled bowlshaped depression on the top of its head. If the water runs out, the Kappas die. The lake in the mittel of the mountain in Super Mario World looks like the head of a Kappa.
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.
