Couple's Cake

Couple's Cake
The Thousand-Year Door description	Food that slowly refills HP. You can't eat it alone.
Super Paper Mario description	A heartwarming dessert that brings back fond memories.

A Couple's Cake is an item in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door that is given to Mario after he completes the "Looking for a gal!" trouble. This item has the same properties as a Slow Mushroom, healing two HP every turn for ten turns, but a character cannot use it on themselves. Mario can use it only on his partners and partners can use it only on Mario. According to Wonky, Couple's Cakes remind Zess T. of her late husband and she is therefore apparently reluctant in making them; this situation is almost identical to Tayce T.'s quirk over Cake, which she similarly used to win her late husband over. This item can be sold anywhere for 10 coins (30 coins in the Japanese version).

The Couple's Cake reappears in Super Paper Mario, where it automatically gives the player 5,000 points when used. In both games, the Couple's Cake can also be mixed with a Poison Mushroom to make a Trial Stew.
