==Plot synopsis==
==Plot synopsis==
In [[Toad]]'s house, Toad is in the middle of cooking some food on his oven, which, after some stirring, he places in a bowl and gives to the nearby [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. Taking the bowl of food from Toad, Princess Toadstool glances at it and says to Toad that she thought he was going to make her some bran; after saying this, the Princess gets the response from Toad that he was out of bran, but he did have some hay. As Toad explains this, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], who are nearby, say that at least Toad's pancakes look edible and light and proceed to begin to eat the pancakes. As Mario and Luigi eat the pancakes, everything in Toad's house begins to rise to the house's ceiling, including Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool. Watching as his furniture crashes into the roof of his ceiling, Toad accidentally bangs his head on the ceiling and begins to wonder what is going on.
