Relationship with Toadstool
Grandma is a Toad in this game, which may mean that Toadstool is not fully human. In fact, it may mean that Princess Toadstool is at least one-fourth Toad. Furthermore, the name "Grandma" could merely be a term of endearment used by Toadstool, not describing an actual blood relationship. In fact, the name "Grandma" is a literal translation of her Japanese title "Obaasan," 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] Sadly, this cultural term simply doesn't translate over, and still to this day there are debates on the American side of fandom as to whether Peach is a Toad or not.
