Editing Cake

'''{{wp|Cake}}s''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are sweet, baked desserts often featured with more than one layer and usually decorated with cream and strawberries. Cakes are most commonly associated with [[Princess Peach]], who sometimes bakes one for [[Mario]] after being rescued, or mentions cake in the prologue.

{{main|Cake (boss)}}

A cake in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' appears in the form of a wedding cake that comes to life, whom the player has to fight as a boss. [[Booster]] eats the cake whole after it is defeated.

A cake has somewhat of a role in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its Nintendo DS version]]. The game begins with an invitation letter from [[Princess Peach]] to [[Mario]], which implies that she has baked a cake for him before she gets kidnapped. After Mario rescues her, she decides to thank him by baking a cake for him. The game's final scene shows a cake with two layers, with the words "Thank you" and statuettes of Mario and Princess Peach. The game stays on this screen until the player resets the system. In the remake, additional statuettes of the unlocked characters will appear on the cake at the end of the game. Unlike in the original, pressing any button on the end scene will return the player to the title screen.

A cake in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' is what one of [[Toy Time Galaxy]]'s planets is shaped like, on a plate. It is mandatory to go here in the third mission and "blow" out all of the candles using Mario's [[Spin]] move to create a [[Launch Star]] at the top. The inside of the cake can be entered via a [[Warp Pipe]].

A cake in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' is used in the introduction scene by [[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]], who hide in it to sneak into [[Princess Peach]]'s birthday party and kidnap her. The cake is then used by the Koopalings to send Peach to an airship outside the castle.

A cake in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' appears as an interactive element during the end credits. It is an altered version of the cake from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', and it has several [[Fruit (Yoshi food)|Fruit]]s. A cake is also repeatedly mentioned by [[Bowser]], who mentions that he wants Peach to make him a giant cake due to [[Super Bowser|his large size]]. A cake is mentioned by Peach in her letter at the beginning, as she and Mario watch the [[Star Bit]]s fall from the sky.

A cake in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' is in the [[Snow Kingdom]], which has the [[Frost-Frosted Cake]] that was to act as the first prize for the [[Bound Bowl Grand Prix]], although it ended up stolen by Bowser to have it act as his wedding cake for his and Princess Peach's marriage. The replacement for this was a [[Multi Moon]]. It was ultimately returned to its rightful owners, the [[Shiverian]]s, after Bowser was defeated. Aside from this, cake was also mentioned in [[Pauline|Mayor Pauline]]'s quiz, where she mentions she liked cake, though she specified that it had to be "the good cake, not the packaged stuff."

In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', Peach sent a letter to Mario inviting him to her castle for a party with cake. Bowser learned about this and said he would kidnap Peach and steal the cake, but the cake is never seen. Princess Peach's Cake is a special item that can be purchased in the Shop for Kingdom Builder mode. It costs 10,000 [[coin]]s and is only available after the following requirements are completed:

* [[Bowser's Bob-ombing Run|World 6-4]] has been completed

* 2000 [[Toad (species)|Red Toad]]s, 1000 each for [[Toad (species)|Green]] and [[Toad (species)|Blue Toad]]s, and 500 each for [[Toad (species)|Yellow]] and [[Toad (species)|Purple Toad]]s have been collected

A birthday cake in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' is an item that the player can obtain for the minigame room in the [[Present Room]] by clearing [[Beach Volley Folly]] in Battle Mode.

 

Cakes in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' appear in the board [[Sweet Dream]], where whenever a player lands on a [[Happening Space]] on each cake, a knife will appear to slice a cake. Cakes in the minigame [[Strawberry Shortfuse]] are placed on certain trays and have to be collected by the player characters while avoiding the trays with bombs.

 

[[File:MP8 Sugar Rush.png|thumb|The players placing toppings on their cakes in the Sugar Rush minigame of ''Mario Party 8'']]

Cakes in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' appear in the minigame [[Sugar Rush (minigame)|Sugar Rush]], where players must recreate cakes by placing toppings in the correct spots.

 

====''Mario Party DS''====

A cake in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' is the setting for the minigame [[Cherry-Go-Round]], though neither it nor the cakes in the background are interactive.

 

Cakes in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' appear in the minigame [[Top This]], where players have to put their toppings on various cakes.

 

Cakes in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' appear in the minigame [[Piece of Cake]], where players have to try and have their slice of cake match the one held by the [[Shy Guy]].

====''Mario Party: The Top 100''====

Cakes in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' appear in two returning minigames, Cake Factory and Strawberry Shortfuse.

====''Mario Party Superstars''====

Cakes in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' return in not only the ''Mario Party 2'' minigame Cake Factory, but the Peach's Birthday Cake board, alongside the Bowser Cake, which Bowser says is made of rock.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', if Mario reclaims [[Tayce T.]]'s [[Frying Pan]] from the Pink Station area of [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]] and returns it to her, the cook will prepare him a Cake. After Mario receives this Cake, Tayce T. mentions that she baked a Cake to win over her nameless, now late husband, rendering the making of Cakes troublesome for her. Of note is that this backstory is extremely similar to the one given for [[Wonky]] and his story about [[Zess T.]]'s [[Couple's Cake]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Regardless, she will bake additional Cakes for Mario when he brings her [[Cake Mix]]es, which can be found in the [[Shy Guy]]s' playground in the Blue Station area of Shy Guy's Toy Box (west of a hallway with [[Anti Guy]]). A Cake restores fifteen [[Flower Point|FP]] and sells for the most at [[Star Haven]], where it can be sold for fifteen [[coin]]s. Cooking a Cake is highly recommended, as it is a vast improvement over the single FP that the Cake Mix will heal.

In Shy Guy's Toy Box, [[Gourmet Guy]], who is blocking a railroad crossing in the Pink Station area, craves for a Cake and will not budge until Mario gives him one. Mario must bring him a Cake baked by Tayce T., and when Gourmet Guy eats it, he will jump around the area before flying offscreen, clearing the crossing for Mario to progress (and dropping a [[Cookbook]] in the process).

During an intermission after Chapter 4, Peach is required to bake a [[Special Strawberry Cake]] for Gourmet Guy.

A cake in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' is delivered to Mario in the [[Glitz Pit]] by a fan of his. If Mario and his partner eat it, it will refill all of the party's stats. If Mario decides not to consume it, [[Shellshock]] will eat it instead, boasting about how good the cake was. Later, [[Rawk Hawk|a "fan"]] of Mario tries to send him a [[Poisoned Cake]]. If Mario and his partner eat it, the latter gets sick, forcing Mario to fight his next opponent alone. If Mario decides not to consume it, Shellshock will eat it and get sick instead.

 

Goombella's tattle on [[Prince Mush]] in the remake reveals that he is not fond of cake, with it being implied that it stemmed from falling for Rawk Hawk's Poisoned Cake trick in the past.

Cakes in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its Nintendo 3DS version]] appear briefly during [[Bowser]]'s battle against [[Midbus]] in [[Fawful Theater]], where they are occasionally thrown at Midbus from the audience, restoring 20 of his HP if he manages to consume one. Bowser can [[punch]] them or [[Vacuum Block|inhale]] them before they are eaten by Midbus; in the latter case, Bowser will recover 20 of his own HP instead. Cakes of various types are also seen in the "Victory Feast" sequence. Lastly, a cake in the ending is delivered to Bowser by [[Birdley]] on behalf of Princess Peach.
