Toad General

"Good luck, princess. For all our sakes."

- Toad General

The Toad General is a minor character in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, voiced by Eric Bauza. He is a blue Toad, sporting glasses and a bowtie and speaking in a deep voice. He takes command of the meeting in Peach's Castle, explaining and demonstrating with an interactive 3D map to Princess Peach that Bowser and his army have taken over the Snow Kingdom.

His appearance and role bear a strong resemblance to other Toads, such as Hint Toad, Toadbert, and Russ T. All four characters are blue Toads wearing glasses and are portrayed as being highly intelligent. Additionally, his outfit is identical to Toadsworth's, but with different colors. Toadsworth appeared in early concept art for the film, so it's possible the Toad General replaced him at some point in development.

In providing a voice suitable for the character, Bauza said the filmmakers wanted "a very serious guy with a very serious message to deliver. They said they didn't want a cartoony voice. We want something like . Something terrifying!"
