'''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]]''.
A '''Bucket''' (alternatively known as the '''Marvelous Bucket''' in ''[[Paper Mario]]''<ref>Averill, Aron, Jason Leung, and Jennifer Villarreal. ''Paper Mario'' Official Nintendo Player's Guide. Page 120.</ref>) is an item featured in ''[[Mario & Wario]]'', ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario]]''.
==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 is a major item in the game ''Mario & Wario''. It is one of many objects dropped by [[Wario]] on top of the head of either [[Princess Peach]], [[Mario]], or [[Yoshi]] in order to obstruct their vision. As such, [[Wanda]] the fairy has 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," referencing Wario's power over the character. The Bucket is only used in the first stage, [[Yōsei no Mori]] - other stages besides EXTRA have different head objects, which are usually references to other games in the series.
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
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 are also present in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. They appear in a few levels of the game, usually [[Fortress|fort]] or [[castle]] levels. These Buckets can be found hanging on walls or ceilings.  The [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] can 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. They also appear in the sequels, ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. There is also a gold bucket variety that doesn't fall down when hit.
===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
The bucket from ''Mario & Wario'' appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]]. It can be obtained randomly from the [[smashwiki:Lottery|Lottery]] or in one of the single-player modes.


A Bucket also appears in ''Paper Mario''. The mayor of [[Shiver City]] will give Mario an ordinary Bucket after he 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.
===''Mario and the Incredible Rescue''===
The book ''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]'' has Mario, [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]] and [[Toad]] fighting Wario in [[Booster Pass]]. The fight has Wario driving his plane, as he throws Buckets down at the gang. Mario and Yoshi defeat him by jumping up to his plane and placing a Bucket on his head, blinding him and causing him to lose control of his plane and spiral out of view.
