Waste Basket
The Waste Basket on the Items screen

The Waste Basket is an object that is used in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and is available at the start of the game. Mario can only hold 29 items in this game. As such, if Mario is carrying the maximum amount of items and picks up a new item, he must decide which item to discard. However, the player cannot throw away important items.

In the Switch remake, the Waste Basket does not exist. Instead, consumables each have different quantity caps varying based on the item (e.g., Mario can carry up to 10 Mushrooms at a time, but only up to 3 Croaka Colas at a time). Any excess items are automatically transferred to a storage box in Mario's Pad. Unique, formerly-disposable items such as the Bright Card and Fertilizer are placed into a Special Items tab, where they cannot be discarded or sold.
