The recipe is an item in Koopa Capers. After Luigi enters one of the hidden rooms, he finds a crumpled piece of paper below some blocks under a big spinning question block with a question mark on one of its faces. He remembers that Mario told him that blocks such as that one are good if they have the question mark on the side opposite the Fire Flower and the Starman opposite the "10." Luigi thinks the paper could have some hints as to where Wendy O. Koopa is, but he also thinks the question block could contain a useful item, leaving him unsure as to whether he should grab the paper or hit the block. The reader must solve a puzzle to figure out if the block is good or not. Solving the puzzle indicates the block is good. If Luigi chooses to grab the paper, he goes quickly beneath the suspended blocks and sees that the paper is directly below a Thwomp, causing him to stop. If he still chooses to get the paper, he sticks his foot out under the Thwomp and quickly pulls it away before the Thwomp hits the ground. When the Thwomp starts to rise, Luigi swiftly grabs the paper and runs past the Thwomp. While still under the blocks, he uncrumples the paper, and several coins fall out. After he pockets them, he reads the paper, which says, "Recipe for S—" but the rest of the title is smudged. The recipe is a poem:

Mix one large cup of eye of Thwomp, With two teaspoons of tail of Chomp. Add six hairs from Grand Goomba legs, Season with Ptooey and Spiny Eggs. Sprinkle with powdered Dry Bones toes, Add Firesnake scales until it glows. Simmer in a pool of red hot rocks, Add just one of Boom-Boom's socks. Too many socks and turtles will doze, Until the fragrance leaves their nose. Add seven wands and you are done. Now the seven will act as one.

After reading the recipe, Luigi pockets it and continues searching for Wendy. If he backtracks from the Thwomp and hits the question block, 10 coins come out of it. Although he catches most of them, three fall to the ground and roll under the cluster of blocks. If he then chooses to retrieve those coins and grab the scrap of paper, he runs beneath the floating blocks and stops at the middle one to grab the paper. However, as he does so, the Thwomp hurtles toward him and crushes him, leading to a Game Over.

When Luigi eventually finds Wendy stirring a grorange substance in a black metal pot suspended over a magma pit in a room, he hears her angrily shout at some Koopa creatures to find the sock necessary for her to finish her plan, and she recites the recipe's eighth to tenth lines. After Bowser, along with the other Koopalings, enters the room and talks to Wendy about what she did, he says that he thinks he sees the other Koopalings' magic wands in the pot and that he can smell Goomba leg hairs, Spiny Eggs, and Firesnake scales. He then asks her if she copied the recipe for combining the wands from his book of Reptile Magic and VCR Programming Instructions, making Luigi understand everything he encountered on his search. As Bowser and the Koopalings look for him, Luigi comes out of his hiding place and jumps to the top of a pile of Goomba Chow bags. As the Koopas surround him, he reaches into his pocket for Boom-Boom's socks, though whether he has them or not depends on the reader's previous actions. If Luigi has the socks, he throws them into the pot and recites the recipe's ninth and tenth lines, and the pot boils over, filling the room with a grorange gas that puts the Koopas in a deep sleep. If Luigi does not have the socks, the Koopalings seize him, then Bowser grabs him and drops him into the pot, leading to a Game Over.
