Template:Articleabout Template:Character-infobox Grandma is a minor character in the game Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. During the game, she dresses up as the princess so Toadstool can sneak out of the castle and join Mario on his adventure to defeat Smithy and recover the seven Star Pieces. She and Toadstool are the only ones who know about Toadstool's ???.

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.
