Toadsworth

Toadsworth is Princess Peach's longtime steward, first appearing in Super Mario Sunshine, where he comes along with Princess Peach and Mario to Isle Delfino. He is always worried about the princess and takes care of the Toads. He has a British accent and often utters British phrases like "Tally-ho!", "Pip pip!" and "By my grandfather's marmalade!", most of which made their debut in Mario Party 7.

Island Vacation
Toadsworth's first appearance was in Super Mario Sunshine where he accompanied Mario, Princess Peach, and an entourage of Toads to Isle Delfino for a vacation. At first he simply accompanies the Princess around the island. After she is kidnapped by Shadow Mario he can be found fretting and worrying in various locations. After she is rescued he returned with the rest of the vacationers to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Visiting the Beanbean Kingdom


In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Toadsworth makes a brief appearance in the beginning of the game where he presents Mario and Luigi with a Suitcase. Later he comes to the BeanBean kingdom himself (along with Princess Peach). He is shown near the end of the game to be good friends with Lady Lima.

Adventures in Rogueport


Toadsworth accompanies Princess Peach on her trip to Rogueport during Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He keeps Princess Peach very close to him, but ends up losing her. When Mario comes to Rogueport he meets a frantic Toadsworth who is incredibly worried about the missing Princess. Mario assures Toadsworth that he will save her, and Toadsworth spends the remainder of the game in Rogueport's Inn.



Young and Old
Toadsworth also appears in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. He is with Mario and Luigi when Princess Peach takes an experimental back in time, and is paranoid that something terrible will happen. His fears later become justified, as when the time machine returns a Shroob is in it. He promptly faints, and requires a Refreshroom to revive him. He is still confused when he wakes up and accidentally pushes Mario and Luigi into a time-hole. He later teams up with his younger self to teach the Bros. moves and keep Baby Peach entertained while she stays in the future.

Toadsworth Sets Sail
As a token of his appreciation for all that Mario and his friends had done for the kingdom, Toadsworth organized an extravagant cruise in traditional Mario Party fashion. He was also the host of the board maps. However, the cruise was deterred by Bowser, who was angry about his exclusion from the guest list.

Toad House Host
Toadsworth replaces Toad as the host of Toad Houses in New Super Mario Bros.. He can give out items to Mario or Luigi if they complete his mini-games.

Other Appearances
Toadsworth makes a cameo in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! whenever a player wins a cup he drives the Parade Kart that takes them to there Trophy. He is the referee in Mario Power Tennis. In the Japan-only game Yakuman DS (a heavily Mario-themed mahjong game) he is the first-ranked and most difficult opponent (CPU match) that is unlockable. He finally becomes playable in Mario Superstar Baseball on Peach's team.

Relationship to Peach
There is much confusion surrounding Peach and Toadsworth's relationship. It is said on Nintendo.com's page for Super Mario Sunshine that he is Peach's father, which would make him King Toadstool. However, it has been stated in games and game booklets that Toadsworth is Peach's attaché and thus, is subordinate to her (while if he were King, he would be the ruling monarch). Additionally, in Mario Superstar Baseball, when naming all of the players on Peach's team, Lakitu says "And... your grandpa?! Oh, pardon me! Venerable Toadsworth!" While not made entirely clear, Lakitu may have at first been mistaken, but then corrected himself. Peach addresses him as "Toadsworth" (not as "Father" or "Grandfather") in Super Mario Sunshine. The fact that Toadsworth is a Toad while Peach is a human makes it doubtfull that the two are biologically related (from a scientific perspective). However, the presence of Grandma Toadstool in Super Mario RPG poses a similar problem as she is also a Toad (though "Gramma" could simply be a term of endearment for the elderly toad).

Trivia

 * Toadsworth is voiced by Charles Martinet, the same voice for Mario and Luigi.
 * In Japan, the character is known as "Kinojii", a portmanteau of "kinoko (the Japanese word for mushroom), and "ojii" (a Japanese colloquialism for an older man), although "Kinopio" (known as "Toad" in the U.S.) could also be used since the character is himself a "kinopio".
 * An e-mail in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door says that he is 60 years old.
