== Biography ==
=== Yoshi's Island ===
The Stork was carrying Mario and Luigi to deliver the babies to their homes. Kamek seized Baby Luigi and the stork but bungled Mario. Yoshi and his travel companions work together to help Mario save Luigi and the stork while Toadies attempted to chase them. After the defeat of Baby Bowser, Mario reunited with Luigi and Yoshi freed the stork. The stork continued carrying Mario and Luigi to the parents' home and leaves Mario and Luigi by the porch.
==In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island==
The Stork is first seen in the boot-up cutscene, where Kamek swoops at the Stork to try and kidnap Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, although the former drops into Yoshi's Island. Both the Stork and Baby Luigi end up being kidnapped. 
Later, after defeating Baby Bowser at the end of the final level, King Bowser's Castle, both the Stork and Baby Luigi are found. The Stork has his feet tied together while hanging upside-down from a ledge. The Stork and Baby Luigi are both rescued, and the Stork happily goes to deliver Mario and Luigi to their parents.
