Chancellor



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.

He's shown to be a fearful and forgetful Toad. When Mack was ruling the castle, he was hiding behind a column the whole time, and Mack probably didn't even know he was there. He also made Mario fall down a set of stairs because he forgot to tell him something.

Additionally, the Chancellor gives Mario a map of the Mushroom Planet early in his adventure.

Trivia

 * In the beta version of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the Chancellor was, rather than the tall, young, distinctive Toad he turned out to be, a short, bearded, elderly-looking Toad. Interestingly, while the Chancellor was given a new design, his old one was kept for Rose Town NPCs like the Gardener; The older-looking Chancellor's sprite could've merely been a placeholder.
 * A character similar to the Chancellor, named the Minister, appeared in Paper Mario.
 * 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 now owns the rights to the actual Chancellor).
