The '''Stork''' is a character who must deliver [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] to the home of their mother and father in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. The stork is attacked by [[Kamek]], however, who wants to kidnap the young Brothers before they mature and cause trouble to the [[Koopa (species)|Koopas]]. Kamek succeeds in kidnapping only Baby Luigi and the stork.

After Yoshi defeats [[Baby Bowser]], Baby Luigi and the stork are rescued. The stork then carries the babies to their parents.
 
In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', the stork is not helping only the Baby Mario Brothers, but also [[Baby Donkey Kong]], [[Baby Peach]], [[Baby Wario]], and [[Baby Bowser]]. The stork is more of a major character in this game as it is shown traveling with the babies in cut-scenes, and it helps even more by bringing babies to [[Stork Stop]]s. In the end, more than one Stork are seen; several storks carry the babies back to their homes.
 
The first actual mention of the Stork is in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Mario of the Apes]]". When the gorilla couple [[June and Ward]] are waiting for a child of their own, they mistake an [[Albatoss]] that drops Mario on their porch for the actual stork.
 
The stork is mentioned in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' about bringing [[Captain Gills]] his own children. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Stork makes an appearance as a large [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] that can be obtained. The Sticker shows the Stork carrying Baby Peach. It raises attack power by +21.
 
The stork serves a similar purpose as his appearance in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', as he found out that the parents are not Mario's and Luigi's. While tries to find their real parents, he is attacked by [[Kamek]], and he drops [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]. Baby Mario is saved by Yoshi while Baby Luigi is captured by Kamek again. It's also revealed that the Stork and other storks deliver infants from a magic land in the sky.

==Trivia==
*The stork is a reference to folklore; a stork delivers babies to young couples, indicating birth. Its design is also based off the [[wikipedia:White stork|white stork]], the same stork told in folklore.
