Relationship with Toadstool
The name "Grandma" could indicate a blood relation between Princess Toadstool and the old Toad, however it could also be a mere term of endearment. In fact, the name "Grandma" is a literal translation of her Japanese title "Obāsan", which can mean both "grandmother" or a respectful title for an elderly woman. Indeed, the Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Nintendo Player's Guide simply refers to this character as the "chambermaid"[1]. Regardless of the evidence to the contrary, many English-speaking players continue to debate about whether or not Peach is related to "Grandma" and is, as a result, at least one-fourth Toad.
