Template:Character-infobox The stork is a supporting character in the Yoshi's Island series. It is responsible for delivering Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to the home of their mother and father. The role of the stork in the series is a reflection of the myth that real life storks are said to deliver babies to young couples. Its design is also based on the white stork, the same stork told in folklore.
The first actual mention of a baby-carrying stork in the Mario franchise is in the 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 again in Super Paper Mario about bringing Captain Gills his own children.
