King Toadstool presents the Sacred Cylinder of Cheese to a rather unexcited Mario in the Super Mario Bros. comic "A Mouser in the Houser".

The Sacred Cylinder of Cheese, known to the many people who disrespect it simply as a Cheese Log, is a rather large tube of cheese seen in the Super Mario Bros. comic "A Mouser in the Houser". Although King Toadstool finds the Sacred Cylinder of Cheese to be a great artifact, almost everyone else thinks of it as rather stupid and pointless.

As stated above, the Sacred Cylinder of Cheese has only been viewed in the Valiant comic "A Mouser in the Houser". According to that comic, King Toadstool regularly gives the Sacred Cylinder to an unnamed ambassador on certain formal meetings each time they happen. In "A Mouser in the Houser", King Toadstool trusted Mario, who was traveling to the organization alongside Princess Toadstool, with the task of handing the Sacred Cylinder of Cheese over to the ambassador on the event described in the comic. The Princess and Mario decided to use Transport Tubes to get to the meeting, although Mouser's tampering had apparently made the Transport Tube system unreliable. After some stumbling around, Mario and Princess Toadstool found themselves lost on an enormous castle; Toadstool, angry at Mario for his accidental spilling of cheese on her dress, furiously kicked him off of the tower on which they had landed. Although Toadstool continued on an adventure of her own (learning that the Mousers were without a leader and that they hated cheese), the Sacred Cylinder of Cheese stayed with the unfortunate Mario for the time following. As he waited for a savior and searched for an escape from his terrible situation, Mario made sure that the Sacred Cylinder of Cheese (which he himself was not exceptionally fond of) was in good condition; eventually, Toadstool, refusing all offers to become queen of the Mousers, decided to rush to Mario's rescue and save both him and the Sacred Cylinder. She managed to find the plumber and the cheese bestowed upon him, although she was followed by an angry Mouser who still wished to call Princess Toadstool his queen. The Princess, losing all respect for her father's tube of cheese, knew what she had to do: She threw the Sacred Cylinder of Cheese at the Mouser, who (recalling all the cheese he collected on his birthdays, anniversaries, his graduation in 1973, and the Groundhog Day of 1981) ran off in sheer horror. In the end, King Toadstool blamed Mario for the loss of his Sacred Cylinder of Cheese, although it was then revealed that even the ambassador despised the Cheese Log as most others did.
