==History==
===''Mario & Wario''===
A bucket appears in ''Mario & Wario'' as one of the objects used by [[Wario]] to obstruct the vision of the protagonists—[[Princess Peach]], [[Mario]], and [[Yoshi]]. The bucket is in the very first stage of [[Yōsei no Mori]] and features Mario's "M" insignia when upright, but while the bucket is on a character, the "M" becomes a "W," referencing Wario's "power" over the character.{{ref needed}}


The Bucket was a major item in the game ''Mario & Wario''.  It was one of many objects dropped by [[Wario]] on top of the head of either [[Peach]], [[Mario]], or [[Yoshi]] in order to obstruct their vision.  As such, [[Wanda]] the fairy had to guide the blind heroes to the end of the game's various stage.  The Bucket features Mario's "M" insignia when up-right, although when turned upside-down, the "M" becomes Wario's "W," symbolizing Wario's power over the character.

If the [[mole (Super Mario RPG)|mole]] girl standing on top of it is given a [[Carbo Cookie]], she jumps off of the bucket, granting access to the falls and river.
Buckets were also present in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. They appeared in a few levels of the game, usually [[Fortress|fort]] or [[castle]] levels. These Buckets could be found hanging on walls or ceilings.  The [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] could knock the Bucket down by throwing an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] at it.  After being knocked down, a Bucket may produce [[coin]]s, or at times, enemies. In some levels, the Yoshis have to knock the Bucket into a body of water or [[lava]], then jump into the bucket and ride it across the dangerous segment until reaching land. They also appeared in the sequel, ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''.

A Bucket also appeared in ''Paper Mario''. The mayor of [[Shiver City]] will give Mario an ordinary Bucket after the [[plumber]] gets the [[Scarf]] from [[Merle]]. In [[Shiver Snowfield]], after Mario puts the Bucket on top of the hat-less [[snowman]] and the Scarf around the scarf-less snowman, the passage to [[Shiver Mountain]] will open.
