'''Frying Pans''' (formatted either uppercase or lowercase) appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as items commonly associated with [[Princess Peach]], especially as a weapon.

==History==
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
[[File:Peachpan3.gif|thumb|Peach using the Frying Pan on a [[Spikester]] in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'']]
The Frying Pan, initially identified as a '''Metal Plate''', is a weapon in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. It can be bought for 300 coins from the [[Moleville Toad|Miner's Store]], located in the [[Moleville]] [[List of shops in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars#Moleville|item shop]], but only after defeating the [[Axem Rangers]]. The Frying Pan increases Peach's Attack rating by 90, and it is her most powerful weapon.

===''Game & Watch Gallery'' series===
A pan appears in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'' and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', where it is used in ''[[Chef]]'', with Peach specifically using it in the Modern version to make [[food]] for [[Yoshi]].

===''Paper Mario''===
[[File:PM Frying Pan.png|thumb]]
A Frying Pan appears in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as a special item. After [[Mario]] and his partners free the third [[Star Spirit]], [[Skolar]], and go back to [[Toad Town]] as usual, they see the [[Shy Guy]]s from [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]] stealing items from [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s and doing pranks all over the town. When Mario goes near [[Tayce T.]]'s house, one of the Shy Guys steals her Frying Pan and hides it in Shy Guy's Toy Box. Since the Frying Pan is stolen, Tayce T. cannot cook recipes for Mario for the time being.

The item is located in the Pink Station area of Shy Guy's Toy Box. To access the station, Mario has to first get the [[Storeroom Key]] in the Blue Station area that is guarded by an enemy or an item cast by [[Kammy Koopa]]. After collecting the key from the [[treasure chest]], Mario must return it to [[Harry (Paper Mario)|Harry]], who then lets Mario access his storeroom. The storeroom contains an important item, the [[Toy Train]]. Just outside the Toy Box, Mario throws the Toy Train into the box, gaining access to the Pink Station. After Mario arrives at the Pink Station, he eventually notices an enemy or an item "guarding" the treasure chest containing the Frying Pan.

When Mario returns the Frying Pan to Tayce T., she rewards Mario by baking a [[Cake]]. The Cake is needed to pass [[Gourmet Guy]].

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

A frying pan appears throughout the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] in Peach's forward smash attack, along with a tennis racket and a golf club, beginning with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', followed by her other playable appearances in the series. A frying pan in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' is used by [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] is the same manner.

===''Mario Kart'' series===

===''Super Mario Odyssey''===
In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', frying pans replace [[hammer]]s as the weapon of choice of the [[Hammer Bro]]s. in the [[Luncheon Kingdom]]. If Mario [[capture]]s one of these Hammer Bros., he can throw frying pans as an attack as well, and use them to destroy mounds of cheese rocks to uncover hidden objects.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', [[Toad]] is shown carrying a frying pan in his backpack. In the film, he uses it to distract the guards in front of [[Peach's Castle]] with makeshift cooking so that Mario can sneak in to meet Peach. Toad later takes it out of his backpack when he and Peach go to confront Bowser. He most likely intended to use it as a weapon, similarly to how Peach uses her frying pan in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' and the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

In an International variation of the film's [[Illumination]] logo, Toad, after trying to fend a [[Goomba]] off with various knick-knacks, bashes it upside the head with his frying pan only to be chased by a [[Goomba Tower]].
