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.

Buckets, also referred to as '''? Buckets'''<ref>Williams, Drew. ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'' Player's Guide. Page 60. "''Knock the ? Buckets from the ceiling then hop aboard.''"</ref>, make their debut in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]] in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. They tend to appear in [[Fortress|fort]] or [[castle]] areas and levels, beginning with [[Burt The Bashful's Fort]]. These buckets can be found hanging on walls or ceilings, and the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] can knock them down by throwing an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] at them, producing [[coin]]s or enemies. Some levels have buckets positioned over a body of water or [[lava]], and knocking them down allows the Yoshi to cross that area using the bucket until they reach the other end.
Buckets also appear in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', serving the same role. There is also a gold bucket variety that doesn't fall down when hit.
