Shellshock, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

The Poisoned Cake[1] is an item in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

It is given to Mario by a "fan". If Mario chooses to eat the cake, his active partner eats a portion of it first. Before Mario can have the remaining portion, that partner starts to feel sick, and Mario must face his next fight alone, after which his partner recovers. Before fighting with Rawk Hawk, he reveals that he has tricked them into eating the poisoned cake. If Mario decides not to eat the cake (though Mario's partner will say otherwise), Shellshock eats it instead and thus is the one to be poisoned.

It largely has the same role in the remake, although Goombella's tattle on Prince Mush indicates that Rawk Hawk used it against Prince Mush in a similar manner for the same reason.

In the remake, the Poisoned Cake is mentioned as an incorrect option for one of the Creepy Steeple Boo's quiz questions.
