I played Super Mario RPG recently and Peach's Grandma is in the game.

It got me thinking. Is Peach a human being or is she a mushroom person who happened to have been born looking human? The latter is more or less what I expected as a kid, so Peach's grandmother didn't surprise me. It's also the route the movie took with Daisy as she's a reptile despite her human appearance. (Because they're dinosaurs instead of mushrooms in that film.)

But then it dawned on me that that game isn't necessarily canon to Mario lore. What's more, "Grandma" isn't even a direct translation. She's given a title in the Japanese woman which is a term of endearment for older women. So that means she was probably never intended as a relative in the first place.

So that just begs the question. Do the mushroom people have a human ruler or is she a mushroom person who incidentally looks human?

Pretty sure the likes of Mario, Luigi, Peach, and the others are human, but they are so cartoony and goofy looking it doesn't really matter.

I thought she was the maid.


She is, but the English version has Peach call her "Grandma."

I guess that does explain one minor plot hole in the English version. When Peach is captured, all the chambermaid thinks about is how worried the chancellor must be. And if you go and visit her before visiting the chancellor after rescuing Peach, she just tells you that you need to go and speak to him first. Not exactly the response of a grandmother who has been reunited with her captive granddaughter.

Maybe all female toads look like blonde women and it's like a queen/drone society

There was some weird word of god a few years back that said Toads do not have genders, even Toadette. I dunno why they did that, but whatevs lol.

Miyamoto said something similar about Yoshi. He prefers not to think about Yoshi's gender on account of the whole egg-laying-male thing.

If you sever one of Yoshi's limbs, it'll grow back?

Well if we assume babies are delivered by stork in the Mario world, I guess she just kind of poofed into existence and was dropped off to some Toad King/Toadsworth or somebody else. But that's only ever addressed in Yoshi's Island, so who knows.

Stork: "The future ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom has arrived. Now let me just get your signature stating you've received your delivery and I'll be on my way to the next kingdom."

King: "But where's her cap?"
Queen: "And what's this yellow fur on her head?"

Stork: "I don't make 'em, lady. I just deliver 'em. Sign here please."

The Toads adopted Peach and raised her as their own. She arrived the same way Mario and Luigi did.

Yes, Zack, we know you like tall blonde women. How about something of relevance to the discussion at hand?

Also it is relevant, they're video game characters and not human so the whole thought process is pointless.
