In "[[Koopa Klaus]]", [[Bowser|King Koopa]] freezes Santa's workshop, and dresses up as Santa himself, calling himself "[[King Koopa's alter egos#Koopa Klaus|Koopa Klaus]]". Koopa Klaus then kidnaps Santa, and attempts to ruin Christmas, but [[Mario]] and his friends rescue Santa. Santa is happy to be saved, but remarks that he can not make any toy deliveries since his workshop is still frozen. [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] urges [[Toad]] to cheer Santa up by giving him his beloved snowboard for Christmas which the retainer does with no regrets. Upon offering his snowboard, Santa becomes so touched by the kindness expressed by Toad that the warmth of holiday cheer melts Santa's workshop. Santa then delivers presents and lets Mario and friends ride with him.
