'''Buckets''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are objects which often serve minor or varying roles. One first and most prominently appears in ''[[Mario & Wario]]''.
==History==
===''Mario & Wario''===
In ''Mario & Wario'', the bucket is among the objects used by [[Wario]] to obstruct the vision of the protagonists—[[Princess Peach]], [[Mario]], and [[Yoshi]]—by dropping them on their heads; [[Wanda]] the fairy has to guide the blinded heroes through each of several stages. The Bucket itself is used in the very first stage of the game, [[Yōsei no Mori]], and features Mario's "M" insignia when upright; when turned upside-down while over a character's head, the "M" becomes Wario's "W," referencing his "power" over the character. Later stages outside the EXTRA stages will feature multiple different objects.


The Bucket was a major item in the game ''[[Mario & Wario]]''.  It was one of many objects dropped by [[Wario]] on top of the head of either [[Peach]], [[Mario]], or [[Yoshi]] in order to obstruct their vision.  As such, [[Wanda]] the fairy had to guide the blind heroes to the end of the game's various stage.  The Bucket features Mario's "M" insignia when up-right, although when turned upside-down, the "M" becomes Wario's "W," symbolizing Wario's power over the character.

A bucket appears in [[Moleville]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', where it serves as a hidden warp to the [[Midas River]]. If the [[mole (Super Mario RPG)|mole]] girl standing on top of it is given a [[Carbo Cookie]], she jumps off of the bucket, granting access to the falls and river.
Buckets were also present in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They appeared in a few levels of the game, usually fort or castle levels.  These Buckets could be found hanging on walls or ceilings.  The [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] could knock the Bucket down by throwing an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] at it.  After being knocked down, a Bucket may produce [[coin]]s, or at times, enemies. In some levels, the Yoshis have to knock the Bucket into a body of water or lava, then jump into the bucket and ride it across the dangerous segment until reaching land.

A Bucket also appeared in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. The mayor of [[Shiver City]] will give [[Mario]] an ordinary Bucket after the plumber gets the [[Scarf]] from [[Merle]].  In [[Shiver Snowfield]], after Mario puts the Bucket on top of the hat-less snowman and the Scarf around the scarf-less snowman, the passage to [[Shiver Mountain]] will open.
