'''Randall the Cloud''' is a nickname for the cloud featured on this stage. It moves in a rectangle through the bottom of the stage. It is possible to stand/edgeguard on the cloud until it goes back into the stage. It is often used to assist the [[recovery]] process. The term derived originally from Canadian smasher {{Sm|FastFox}} on a [https://smashboards.com/threads/knowing-the-position-of-the-ys-cloud-a-lil-guide-by-austinp.79777/page-1#post-7 SmashBoards thread], and it has since taken off as a norm on [[SmashBoards]]. It is also mentioned commonly in competitive ''Melee'' matches, usually when a player chooses to land on it instead of aiming for the [[edge]] while recovering, or when it comes out and saves a recovering player who otherwise would've been [[edgehog]]ged.

Randall does not appear for the opening ten seconds of a given battle and emerges on the right-hand side of Yoshi's Story immediately thereafter, completing a trip through the stage and out the other side in 20 seconds. This means that the position of the cloud is consistent and predictable, not random. Through paying particular attention to the countdown in a [[time]]d match, a prudent smasher can use this knowledge to effectively stall a recovery and land on Randall instead of falling.
Randall's complete round trip through the stage and out the other side takes exactly 20 seconds. As such, many players attempt to "summon" Randall (via a strained shout) when falling. It is not uncommon that a player will fall just short of the edge, only to see Randall's smile as he emerges half a second later.

[[CPU]] opponents tend to try to recover to Randall if possible, leaving them susceptible to [[gimp]]s.
