Chancellor
From the Super Mario Wiki
The Chancellor of the Mushroom Kingdom is an adviser to Princess Peach. He is an older, green-spotted Toad garbed in green with gold trim. During the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the Chancellor assumed the duties of Peach during her absence. He is also overprotective of the princess, forbidding her from joining Mario in his quest to defeat Smithy. Early in the game, the Chancellor gave Mario a map of Mushroom World. The Chancellor is also easily frightened (like many other Toads). He was scared of Mario's impersonation of King Bowser, and during the Smithy Gang's invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom, the Chancellor hid behind a column in the throne room during the entire occupation. The leader is also forgetful at times.
[edit] Trivia
- In the beta version of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the Chancellor was a bearded, generic, elderly-looking Toad, instead of the the younger, more distinctive Toad he turned out to be. While the Chancellor was given a new design, his old one was used for the elderly residents of the Mushroom Kingdom, including the shopkeeper of the local Item Shop. The older-looking sprite of the Chancellor may have been a placeholder.
- A character similar to the Chancellor, named the Minister, appeared in Paper Mario. In the Japanese version of the game, they are both called the same name.
- The Chancellor is also extremely similar to Toadsworth, and Toadsworth may have been Nintendo's answer to a Chancellor for Super Mario Sunshine, as Square-Enix may own the rights to the actual Chancellor. This is further suggested by Toadsworth's title as "chancellor" in the games.
