I think I've found a minor bug regarding the Brawl Yoshi's Island stage and its music. I'm spoilering my findings so as to not take up much real estate.
I've noticed on several occasions when playing this stage, the music is set to Obstacle Course, but it skips a few seconds into the song when the match loads, and once it completes a loop, the music stops until the season changes the version of the track playing. This happens whether or not it starts with the Summer version of the track or the Winter version, but it doesn't happen every time the track plays.
After a dozen or so trials, I think I've figured out what might be going on here. I have have three tracks set to play on this stage via My Music. Obstacle Course and the 3DS/Wii U version of the Yoshi's Island theme are both set to max, while the Brawl version of that theme is set a little lower than those two. In the times I've played the stage, it has randomly selected both Obstacle Course and the Brawl Yoshi theme. Not once, however, has it ever picked the Smash 4 version of the Yoshi, at least not without me choosing that specific track on the stage select screen.
I think what's happening is that it's trying to load the Smash 4 Yoshi theme after randomly picking it, but some error occurs and it instead defaults to the Obstacle Course theme. That's probably what's causing this music hiccup.
A few notes for those who are interested in trying to replicate this or have noticed something similar:

A few notes for those who are interested in trying to replicate this or have noticed something similar:
- These are the only three tracks I have set to this stage, and I have not set them to any other stage.
- I have not messed with the My Music settings in relation to this bug.
- I have only substantially tested this in six-player Smash matches. It probably happens with any amount of players, but I haven't looked too closely.
