 On November 17, 2014, the gaming website {{wp|GameSpot}} posted an article featuring a segment of an interview with [[Koichi Hayashida]], the producer of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''. When discussing the genders of [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]], Hayashida stated that "'...we never really went out of our way to decide on the sex of these characters, even though they have somewhat gendered appearances.'" This led the article's writer to conclude that "[[Toad (species)|Toads]] are a genderless race that take on gendered characteristics". <ref>Corriea, Alexa Ray (November 17, 2014).

-However, an interview with [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], the creator of Mario, in December 2014, contradicts this. Using a human translator, Miyamoto described that "we didn't really have in mind whether Toad was a boy or a girl" until [[Toadette]] was introduced. This led players to "take the impression that Toad was a boy because Toadette was a girl".<ref>iJustine (December 17, 2014).
