The '''Toad General''' is a minor character in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', voiced by [[Eric Bauza]]. He is a blue [[Toad (species)|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 3-D map to [[Princess Peach]] that [[Bowser]] and [[Koopa Troop|his army]] have taken over the [[Snow Kingdom (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)|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 (who appears in early concept art for the film),<ref>rawmeatcowboy (April 23, 2023).

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 {{wp|Michael Ironside}}. Something terrifying!"<ref>https://win.gg/news/the-super-mario-bros-movie-voice-actors-talk-bringing-iconic-characters-to-life/</ref>
