Traveling through the [[Land of Ice]], Mario and Luigi lead the way through the path while Toad pulls Princess Toadstool on a sleigh. As the group travels onward, they are followed by a near-sighted [[Giant Birdo]] who continues to crash into things. Suddenly, the Giant Birdo swoops downward and grabs Toad and begins to fly away, saying that she has found her baby, [[Cheepy]]. | ||
As the Giant Birdo flies away with Toad, Princess Toadstool asks Mario and Luigi go save Toad, who has been brought to the highest mountain in the area.

Undaunted by the size of the mountain, Mario, along with Princess Toadstool, set off, leaving a hesitant Luigi behind; eventually, after hearing there are polar bears in the area, Luigi decides it would be best to go with Mario and the Princess. | ||
Arriving at her home, the Giant Birdo drops Toad in a crib and crash lands into the house herself. Grabbing Toad, the Giant Birdo begins to give him kiss after kiss, saying how much she missed her "Cheepy". Ignoring Toad's claims that he is not Cheepy, the Giant Birdo roughly throws Toad into the crib and grabs the nearby, ringing phone. Answering the phone, the Giant Birdo says it is the "[[Missing Bird Bureau]]" and proceeds to tell the caller they can call-off the search for Cheepy, saying she already found him. Approaching Toad, who has begun to climb out of the crib, the Giant Birdo tries to hug and kiss him; not wanting another one of the Giant Birdo's slobbery kisses, he begins trying to run away, with the Giant Birdo chasing him. | Arriving at her home, the Giant Birdo drops Toad in a crib and crash lands into the house herself.

As Luigi and the Princess begin to bemoan Toad's fate, Mario, not giving up, tries to jump the fissure and succeeds. Next, the Princess jumps the crack and then Luigi, who almost falls, is quickly grabbed by the Princess. Mario, Luigi and the Princess then continue to travel up the mountain, unaware that they're being watched by a [[Flurry]] named [[Flaky]] and his accomplice, who, using skis, leave to inform King Koopa of the Mario group's presence in the area. | ||

After getting the bottle out of his mouth, Toad starts trying to explain that he cannot be the Giant Birdo's baby, as he doesn't have wings or feathers and can't fly. Oblivious to Toad's comments, the Giant Birdo starts to kiss Toad repeatedly, only to remember that it's time for "Cheepy"'s flying lesson. | ||
Still climbing the mountain, Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool are suddenly ambushed by an Albatoss, who drops a [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]] in front of them. Reacting quickly, Mario throws the Bob-Omb into the air, causing it to hit an Albatoss, knocking it out of the sky. Unfortunately, more Albatosses appear and begin to drop more Bob-Ombs, which the group easily knock aside. Suddenly, a group of Albatosses drop some Bob-Ombs on a nearby ledge, causing an explosion which triggers an avalanche, forcing the Mario Brothers and the Princess to fearfully flee. | Still climbing the mountain, Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool are suddenly ambushed by an Albatoss, who drops a [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]] in front of them.

Using his fireballs, Mario manages to release the Birdo from the block of ice it's frozen in; the Birdo, once released, begins to shout for its mother, who Princess Toadstool surmises must be the Birdo that took Toad as she wraps the baby Birdo with her cloak, meaning the Birdo they just rescued is the missing Cheepy. | ||
In the sky, the Giant Birdo, judging that she has brought Toad up high enough, suddenly drops him, expecting him to fly. Plummeting to the ground, Toad suddenly gets the idea to use his mushroom cap as a parachute and, after a rough landing, falls right into Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Cheepy's campsite. Seeing Cheepy, Toad recognizes him as the Giant Birdo's child; after being asked where the Giant Birdo is now by the Princess, Toad says that he is not going near the Giant Birdo, but is forced to change his mind when Cheepy begins to cry for his mother. | In the sky, the Giant Birdo, judging that she has brought Toad up high enough, suddenly drops him, expecting him to fly.

With the threat of King Koopa gone, the Giant Birdo, as thanks for finding Cheepy, decides to invite Mario and his friends to dinner at her house.
