| A '''Mushroom Retainer''' is a special adviser that assists the monarch of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in the country's administrative duties. Seven [[Toad (species)|Toads]] that fill this role appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they are kidnapped along with [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] by [[Bowser]], King of [[the Koopa]]. One Toad appears at the end of each castle and thanks [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] for rescuing him. However, each one infamously states that their princess is in another castle. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', these Toads keep the same role (in the latter, they also celebrate around the princess and her savior during the original ending). In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' versions, an incremental number of them are seen being saved at a time from each of the first seven castles, depending on the current world.

| The term has rarely been used since the original NES game, having only recurred in the video game series with the enhanced [[Game Boy Color]] port ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' and in the digital manuals of [[Virtual Console]] re-releases. This is because Mushroom Retainer is intended to be an early localized name for the Toads as a species, along with Mushroom People. However, "retainer" implies that it is a castle job, thus it is distinct from civilians. The name and role that goes with it does make an appearance in other early media; for example, the [[Nintendo Adventure Books]] and the [[Nintendo Comics System]] introductory story [[The Legend]] describes [[Toad]] as the royal mushroom retainer. The more reserved [[Wooster]] holds a similar position in the series, but is instead called the "royal mushroom assistant" and (somewhat regretfully) directly serves the [[Mushroom King]] rather than the princess.
