Stork

The Stork is a supporting character in the Yoshi's Island series. They are responsible for the delivery of babies in the Mario universe, as seen with their role in the Yoshi's Island series. The Stork is actually pretty important to Mario's story- without them, Mario and Luigi likely wouldn't exist at all! 
Storks are also a species, although generally all of the Yoshi's Island games have actually only focused on one particular stork.
==Description==
The Stork is a white stork with blue tipped feathers across their wings. They have simple oval eyes that have a black color to them. They are depicted with yellow or orange feet and have a incredibly long yellow beak. They are usually depicted with a white bundle containing a baby, hanging precariously millions of miles above the surface as they fly to their destination. 
==History==
===Yoshi's Island===
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, it is responsible for delivering Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to the home of their mother and father. On the way there, however, it is attacked by Kamek, who wants to kidnap the young brothers before they mature and cause trouble to the Koopas. Kamek succeeds in kidnapping only Baby Luigi and the stork. After Yoshi defeats Baby Bowser, Baby Luigi and the stork are rescued. The stork then carries the babies to their parents.
===Yoshi's Island DS===
In Yoshi's Island DS, the Stork is not only helping the Baby Mario Brothers, but also Baby Donkey Kong, Baby Peach, Baby Wario, and Baby Bowser. The Stork is more of a major character in this game as it is shown traveling with the babies in cut-scenes, and it helps even more by bringing babies to Stork Stops. In the game's ending, several Storks carry the babies back to their homes. This shows the Stork is part of a species of storks, although this seems to be rather minor in the scale of things.
===Yoshi's New Island===
Whoops! The Stork made a whoopsie and delivered Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to the wrong parents. What a classic mistake! It's just Yoshi's Island again after that, with Baby Luigi and the Stork being kidnapped with Yoshi and Baby Mario having to go on a new adventure that feels a little too familiar.
==Appearances ==
===Super Smash Bros. Discord===
The Stork appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Discord. The Stork is a truly unorthodox fighter, with his weapons being his beak and babies. He utilizes every single baby from Yoshi's Island DS in his moveset, as well as incorporating things such as the stilts and the very rope Kamek used to kidnap him with. He is an unlockable character in the game with currently no known unlock conditions aside from the generic ones.
===Mario Kart: V² Circuit===
The Stork appears as a starting racer in Mario Kart: V² Circuit. He is a lightweight with a small size. He has an average speed, slightly below average acceleration, slightly below good handling and good traction.
