Santa's workshop: Difference between revisions

During the events of "[[Koopa Klaus]]", [[King Koopa's alter egos#Koopa Klaus (alter ego)|Koopa Klaus]] intended to ruin Christmas, and did so by freezing Santa's workshop, along with all the Elves and reindeer, under a thick layer of ice using [[Ice Bomb]]s on Christmas Eve. Koopa Klaus then took off in his sleigh with Santa as his captive, but before he could make his escape, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], who had followed them there, used a see-saw in the Elves' playground to catapult an ice block at the sleigh, which caused Koopa Klaus and Santa to fall out. Down, but not out, Koopa Klaus made off with Santa Claus on foot.

After pursuing Koopa Klaus and Santa across the North Pole, Mario and his friends eventually stopped Koopa Klaus and saved Santa, with whom they returned to the workshop. However, Santa lamented that they were too late to thaw out the workshop in time for Christmas, which prompted [[Toad]] to give Santa his snowboard; an early Christmas gift he had received from [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], if only so that Santa could at least have one present to deliver. This act of kindness brought out the Christmas spirit in both Toad and Santa, which was warm enough to melt away the ice around Santa's workshop.

With his workshop free, Santa was able to resume his duties in time for takeoff, and even allowed Mario and his friends to ride alongside him in his sleigh as he made his deliveries across [[Mushroom World]].
