The parade from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

A Parade is a way of showing all or most of the characters who appear in a Mario game. It is akin to the cast roll from from Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario World, where screens show all the characters or enemies in the game.

Parades are most often seen at the end of RPG games.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

At the end of this game, a parade is shown during the credits. Luigi leads the parade (aside from his wish being seen at Star Hill, this is his only appearance). Three Toads walk by with flags, and four more playing instruments, with Toadofsky conducting them, next to pipes with Piranha Plants. A cloudlike car drives by next, with Mallow, King Nimbus, and Queen Nimbus, with Frogfucius on a Lakitu's fishing rod. Five tadpoles are following it.

Three Bob-ombs are carrying the King Bomb, with Dyna and Mite Mole on top of it. Two Chomps pull a miniature version of Bowser's Keep, which is being repaired by Hammer Bros. Croco and a Crook steal from Bowser's Keep, and Bowser chases after them in his Koopa Clown Car. Dodo carries Valentina on a solid gold chair. Valentina punches Dodo in the head when he stops moving. Booster rides by on his train. Booster's Snifits steal from Croco and the Crook, while Booster steals Bowser's Koopa Clown Car.

Five Shysters hop by, followed by Mack, Yaridovich, and Bowyer. Smithy comes after them, on top of Blade, and hits them with his hammer. Afterward, the Sunken Ship goes by, with Johnny and two of his pirate sharks. At this time, it turns nighttime, with the star that is Geno flying by to light everything up. A large number of Toads walk by, with giant lit up figures of a mushroom and a flower. The Chancellor is riding a Yoshi, and finally, Mario and Princess Peach are on top of a figure shaped like a star.

Paper Mario

The parade from Paper Mario.

At the end, during the credits, a parade is shown similar to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Luigi leads the parade. Six Toads walk by with trumpets, drums, and flags. Afterward, the Star Ship goes by with all of Mario's partners - Goombario, Kooper, Bombette, Parakarry, Lady Bow, Watt, Sushie, and Lakilester - on it. Three female Toads walk by, followed by Chuck Quizmo and Vanna T.

The Koopa Bros. come by next on a car that resembles the fake Bowser. Four Bob-ombs explode on them. In the background, a lake goes by with the whale, with Professor Kolorado and his wife on its back. Moustafa and some mice meet up with Rowf and Rhuff, while Tutankoopa is being chased by a Chomp, and escapes it. Buzzar and his mountain fly by, and three eggs in Buzzar's nest hatch. As Bootler comes onscreen, Tutankoopa is now being chased by three Chomps. Tubba Blubba appears to be floating through the air, but is really being carried by Boos. Tubba's Heart chases after his body. A tree goes by with Goomba King stuck in it, and the Goomba Bros. circling around it. Goomba King falls out of the tree.

Lavalava Island goes by, with the Yoshis on it, and Raphael the Raven and Lava Piranha (hardly smaller than the volcano) alternately peeking around the corner of the volcano. The five Yoshi kids jump off the island as Huff N. Puff and Gourmet Guy appear. The Yoshis attack them with their tongues, shrinking Huff N. Puff. Gourmet Guy pulls out a knife and fork and chases Huff N. Puff, trying to eat him. Crystal King appears, but another Crystal King reveals him as a Duplighost, only to be revealed as a Duplighost by the real Crystal King, who is then carried away by his Crystal Bits. Jr. Troopa and Kammy Koopa fight using magic. Bowser and some Hammer Bros. and Koopatrols go by. Bowser is in his Koopa Clown Car, and is caught in the crossfire of Jr. Troopa and Kammy Koopa's battle. As they go offscreen, he attacks them, burning them both as they come flying back onscreen.

It is now nighttime. The seven Star Spirits go by on their own car. Mayor Penguin, his wife, and two more penguins go by, followed by a band of Toads, two Amazy Dayzees, and then a car with the Ancients - Merlon, Merlee, Merluvlee, Merlow, Merle, and Madam Merlar, as well as Wise Wisterwood, with the Sun circling it. After two Bub-ulbs walk by, the Shy Guy with the flag walks by, after him a stage with General Guy, four Groove Guys, and two Shy Guys (from the Shy Squad) dancing on it appears. Twelve more Shy Guys walk by, and following up, the fifteenth Shy Guy (the straggler). Afterward, the six Toads with the trumpets, drums, and flags walk by again (with their spots flashing), and finishing up, a car with Mario and Princess Peach on it. Twink briefly appears before Mario and Peach walk to Mario's house to watch the fireworks, a large The End appears and zooms to the bottom, and the fireworks continue until the player turns off the N64 or Wii.
