Suddenly, the two recall that while Princess Peach, [[Toad]], [[Luigi]], Wario, and Mario were on their way to the park, the princess noticed a [[Samus Doll|Samus doll]] in a store window and expressed it was cute.

Both [[Mario]] and [[Wario]] receive an invitation to [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s birthday party on the next Sunday. Thinking about the perfect present to get her, the two recall a recent trip to the park, when the princess noticed a [[Samus Doll]] in a store window and expressed it was cute.

Positive it was Mario, he instead buys a jack-in-the-box and has it wrapped identically.


When Wario reached the store, he discovered that the doll was bought by a guy with a big black mustache. Wario was positive it was Mario and then, he bought a jack-in-the-box toy and asked the store owner to wrap it just like his present. The next Sunday, Wario and Mario went to Toadstool's party. While the Toads were decorating, Princess Peach asked Wario to help her. When he did, she asked Mario to get the door. When Mario ran off, Wario swapped the two gifts. Then, he gave the princess "his" present. Upon opening it, Princess Peach discovered a jack-in-the-box with the toy inside of it popping out and scaring her. The same happened with Mario's gift.
The next Sunday, Mario and Wario are at the birthday party. Wario tries to get Mario away from his own present so he can switch them, but Toadstool asks Wario to help her by hanging up a sign. The doorbell rings, and the princess asks Mario to let the guests in, during which Wario swaps the gifts. Wario then gives Mario's present to Toadstool, but when she opens it the jack-in-the-box springs out and scares her. Mario presents his gift, which Wario tries to insist is his actual gift, but she opens the present to find another jack-in-the-box. Mario and Wario start fighting, but quickly realize that neither of them bought the doll. When the princess starts crying, [[Luigi]] cheers her up by giving her his gift, which turns out to be the Samus Doll. Toadstool gives Luigi a kiss, which Mario and Wario brood over, while Mario ends the story by asking if his and Luigi's mustaches look that alike.


The two started fighting and than figured out that the one who bought the gift wasn't one of them. While Princess Peach was crying, Luigi calmed her down by giving her a gift. Upon opening it, Princess Peach discovered a Samus doll and said that it was the perfect gift and rewards Luigi with a kiss on his cheeks.

==Trivia==
*''The Birthday Bash'' is the first instance in any English media where the [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]] are now referred to as "Toads", given the localized name of Toad uniformly. This later became a widespread practice after the release of ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

Story[edit]

Wario
Wario in Mario vs. Wario: The Birthday Bash

Both Mario and Wario receive an invitation to Princess Toadstool's birthday party on the next Sunday. Thinking about the perfect present to get her, the two recall a recent trip to the park, when the princess noticed a Samus Doll in a store window and expressed it was cute. Both of them decide to get her the doll for her birthday. At the toy store, however, Wario is enraged to learn that the doll is sold out, the clerk telling him that the last one was bought by a man with a big, black mustache. Positive it was Mario, he instead buys a jack-in-the-box and has it wrapped identically.

The next Sunday, Mario and Wario are at the birthday party. Wario tries to get Mario away from his own present so he can switch them, but Toadstool asks Wario to help her by hanging up a sign. The doorbell rings, and the princess asks Mario to let the guests in, during which Wario swaps the gifts. Wario then gives Mario's present to Toadstool, but when she opens it the jack-in-the-box springs out and scares her. Mario presents his gift, which Wario tries to insist is his actual gift, but she opens the present to find another jack-in-the-box. Mario and Wario start fighting, but quickly realize that neither of them bought the doll. When the princess starts crying, Luigi cheers her up by giving her his gift, which turns out to be the Samus Doll. Toadstool gives Luigi a kiss, which Mario and Wario brood over, while Mario ends the story by asking if his and Luigi's mustaches look that alike.
