Chef Torte



Chef Torte is a Terrapin and one of the greatest chefs in the world. Currently, he works in the kitchen at the Marrymore chapel baking wedding cakes. Torte takes his work very seriously. He constantly bosses around his apprentice and even insults the young Koopa as the two cooks create their confections. If Mario (for some reason) jumps on the wedding cake, Torte will bark at the plumber, causing Mario to fall off the cake.

During the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Torte was tasked with creating the worlds greatest wedding cake for Booster and Princess Peach's wedding. The chef and his apprentice eventually create the masterpiece Bundt which they rush over to the wedding ceremony. However, when they arrive, they discover that Mario disrupted the wedding and rescued Princess Peach. Chef Torte becomes angry for now his work of culinary perfection will not be eaten. Thus Torte and his apprentice attack Mario and his allies.

In battle, Torte attacks by running up to one of Mario's allies and furiously slapping him. Additionally, the chef and his apprentice are invulnerable and cannot be defeated (as they are needed purely for purposes of the story). As such, Mario and company should focus their attacks on the Bundt cake itself while defending the weak blows delivered by Torte and his apprentice. Eventually, after enough attacks, the cake will start to move. As it turns out, Bundt was such a work of culinary perfection, it actually came alive. When the cake starts moving on its own will, Torte and his apprentice run away, leaving Mario's party to defeat the monstrous wedding cake.

Later, when Mario returns to Marrymore, the great chef is working on another great wedding cake. Hopefully, this one won't come to life.
