A '''Cork''' is an object in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] that is first found at the end of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' when the player defeats [[Wart]]. Closing the vase that contains [[Subcon (species)|Subcon]]s is the Cork that acts as a lid to keep the Subcons from getting out. When [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] or [[Toad]] defeat Wart, they go to the outskirts of the castle and find the vase. They then pull the cork out of the vase, the Subcons fly out, and the game ends.
