I saw this thread and the urge to make a The Stork moveset was overpowering; it had to be done. This moveset utilize the babies from Yoshi Island DS, which The Stork holds in one large sack in his bill. Meaning we'd get 7 characters for the price of one, which I think most people can get behind, even if it is the terrible terrible Mario babies.
Basics:
The Stork has one massive sack in his bill that holds all the babies from Yoshi Island DS: Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong, Baby Wario, and Baby Bowser. They poke their heads out and assist The Stork with his attacks. Unfortunately the babies in his bag weigh him down, jipping his flying ability; meaning he only has one extra jump (three in total) despite having a pair of wings.

B: Squall: A random baby pops out of the bag and lets out a quick but massive scream. While each baby has a unique cry, the effects are always the same. The burst creates a shock wave that effects a wide area (think DK’s clap from Jungle Beat) Like DKJB clap there are two circular shockwave that come out; A large green one and a smaller red one. The green wave does a small amount of damage (1%-3%) and doesn’t cause the opponent to flinch, while the red wave affects the area directly around the stork and not only damages the opponent (8%-10%) but also stuns them.
Forward B: Baby Bowser Fireball: Baby Bowser pokes his head out of the sack and spits out a fireball. It’s slow moving, but has great knock back. It roughly covers half of Final Destination.
Up B: Corkscrew and Bubble: This is kind of an odd one. The Stork twirls upward quickly, causing the bag to spin around like a helicopter blade. This upward twirl is very short (less than Wario's Corkscrew) but afterwards the bubble that usually envelops the babies when they’re hit in Yoshi Island fills up The Stork’s bag. He can now slowly drift down with the bag in his bill above him acting like a balloon. He is wide open while he drifts down and since he's dangling below the bag he's a pretty big target.
Down B: Wario Magnet: Wario pops out of the sack and points his magnet forward and draws opponents in. If the magnet touches the opponents a very small amount of their HP is stolen. This move works well in combination with his neutral B: Draw them in then stun them. In the air the move is angled so that opponents on the ground in front of The Stork will be drawn towards The Stork.
Final Smash: Delivery Day: Babies. Babies everywhere. Babies drift slowly from the top of the screen down in their own little knapsacks, each one squalling. The shockwaves around them work similarly to The Stork’s neutral B, except much more powerful. The goal is to get your opponents bouncing back and forth between babies. The babies that drift down are baby versions of Mario enemies, each one with their own unique scream.[/COLLAPSE]

Back throw: Baby Wario pops out of the sack, grabs the opponent with his magnet, spins them around, and places them behind The Stork.[/COLLAPSE]
After writing this I'd actually really enjoy The Stork if he had a moveset similar to this. All those character in one, and they really do represent a side of the Yoshi series pretty well. Also, imagine beating one player mode then BAM! Seven trophies. It's a petty reason, but I want it to happen.
