Kinopio-san is a Toad that appeared in the last chapter of Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World 6 of the Super Mario Kodansha manga. Kinopio-san is a female Toad with her distinctive traits being the hearts on her mushroom, long eyelashes, big lips, and a blouse under her vest.
She accompanies Princess Peach to the ski resort of White Kinoko and is seen being on her side while skiing and in the inn. After Peach is kidnapped, Kinopio-san is found unconscious on the room's floor. Yoshi wakes her up and explains that a monster kidnapped her. The combined testimonies from the witnesses lead Luigi to think it was the yeti, but in actuality is Bowser. Kinopio-san is then seen in the last panel looking at the frozen Bowser, after being beaten to a pulp by Luigi and the Yoshis.
She reappears as a nurse of the Mushroom Kingdom Hospital in Super Mario: Yoshi Island 3, entrusted with delivery a rare blood sample to Dr. Mario with the Akai Pegasus. Following the hijicking and rescue of the train, the Yossy Helper Team takes the blood sample to destination themselves.
