“WAIT! WAIT! Did the cake just move?”

—Booster,Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Acake baked byChef Torte and hisapprentice appears inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars andits remake as a boss. It was baked forBooster andPrincess Peach's wedding ceremony. However, afterMario andBowser interrupt the wedding and rescue Peach, the angeredTortes attack Mario and his allies.

Battle[edit]

During this fight, the cake is the only object that can be damaged. After taking several hits, the cake starts to move. The apprentice tells Chef Torte, who ignores him. When the cake moves a second time, the Tortes retreat, and all five of the cake's candles light up. The cake's top and bottom layers, referred to asBundt andRaspberry respectively, attack independently from each other, but only Bundt can be attacked at first. Bundt can only be defeated by hitting it with a physical attack once all five candles are extinguished. One candle is put out whenever Bundt is hit with a physical attack. However, Bundt can relight one candle each time it attacks. After being defeated, Bundt disappears, allowing Raspberry to be damaged. Once Raspberry'sHP is depleted,Booster orders hisSnifsters to take it and help him eat it up, ending the battle andPrincess Peach's wedding. In the remake, the cake can be fought again after defeatingSmithy. During the battle, the Tortes light at least two of the cake's candles each turn, and the cake must be attacked with physical attacks to extinguish the candles. If all five candles are lit, the cake usesCelebration Shot, which deals 9999 damage to all active party members.

Notes[edit]

• On the field, the cake only has one layer, which seems to be its middle layer in battle. This is changed in the remake; the entire cake is now shown out of battle.
• Bundt's "candle" has separate stats internally, but only Bundt itself is targeted. Both the Shogakukan andNintendo Power guides mention the candle as a boss enemy as well.^[2][3]
• In the original Japanese iteration, Raspberry's name is thematic with Bundt's, as it is in turn called "Strawberry." However, as its name was changed in localization, the naming connection was lost.
