Toadsworth is an elderly Toad and Princess Peach's longtime steward, first appearing in Super Mario Sunshine, where he comes along with Princess Peach and Mario to Isle Delfino. He is sixty years old, according to an e-mail in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He is constantly worrying about the princess and takes care of the Toads. He has an English accent and often utters old-fashioned English phrases like "Tally-ho!" and "Pip pip!", most of which made their debut in Mario Party 7. Toadsworth is voiced by Charles Martinet, the same voice actor as Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario Sunshine
Toadsworth's first appearance was in Super Mario Sunshine where he accompanied Mario, Princess Peach, and an entourage of Toads to Isle Delfino for a vacation. While traveling there, he can be seen day dreaming about the relaxation that he could get at the island as well as about the roller coaster at Pinna Park that he is tempted to ride on. However, upon arriving on the island, he and the other vacationers find the place covered with goop thanks to the mysterious fiend known as Shadow Mario (who eventually gets Mario to get accused of ruining the island).
As Mario attempts to find the Shine Sprites to clear his name, Toadsworth at first can be seen simply accompanying the Princess around the island. After she is kidnapped by Shadow Mario he can be found fretting and worrying in various locations. Often, he can be seen reminding Mario to go rescue the princess. After she is rescued, he and the other heroes can be seen finally enjoying the facilities at Isle Delfino as originally planned in the ending credits. Toadsworth eventually returned with the rest of the vacationers to the Mushroom Kingdom presumably later on.
New Super Mario Bros.
Toadsworth replaces Toad as the host of Toad Houses in New Super Mario Bros.. He can give out items to Mario or Luigi if they complete his mini-games. Some of the Toad Houses also give out extra lives to the Mario Bros. by doing a card match up game. However, some of these houses require Mario (or Luigi) to pay some star coins in order to enter the house.
Mario & Luigi series
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Toadsworth makes a brief appearance in the beginning of the game where he presents Mario and Luigi with a Suitcase to take on their journey to the Bean Kingdom. Later he comes to the Beanbean Kingdom himself (along with Princess Peach). After a while, he spends his time with Peach in the Mushroom Embassy. He is shown near the end of the game to be good friends with Lady Lima.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
- Main article: Toadsworth the Younger
Toadsworth also appears in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. He is with Mario and Luigi when Princess Peach takes an experimental trip back in time, and is paranoid that something terrible will happen. He eventually faints due to his excess worrying for the princess, creating a comedic scene of Mario getting a refreshroom for the elderly toad to feel better. His fears later become justified, as when the time machine returns, a Junior Shrooboid is in it. He is soon attacked by the Shrooboid though Mario and Luigi eventually defeat it. He is still confused when he wakes up and accidentally pushes Mario and Luigi into a time hole. He later teams up with his younger self to teach the Bros. new moves (such as the Toadsworth Twist, Bros. Ball, etc.) and keep Baby Peach entertained while she stays in the future.
Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story
Toadsworth returned in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. He, along with many other Mushroom Kingdom residents, eventually get swallowed up by Bowser. He is then found in a part of Bowser's body where he must be rescued by the Mario Bros. Compared to the last game, his role is very small, appearing in various areas, mainly Toad Square. He can often be seen sobbing for the Princess's well being after she is kidnapped by Fawful. Toadsworth also teaches the Mario Bros. about beans. He is shown to be good friends with Toadbert as well. Toadbert and Toadsworth were seen having some tea together while waiting for Bowser's back to heal. After getting over the Princess's well being, and being assured that Mario and Luigi would save her, he began collecting beans, beans that helped the Bros. in their adventure.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Toadsworth accompanies Princess Peach on her trip to Rogueport during Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He keeps Princess Peach very close to him, but ends up losing her. When Mario comes to Rogueport he meets a frantic Toadsworth who is incredibly worried about the missing Princess. Mario assures Toadsworth that he will save her, and Toadsworth spends the remainder of the game in Rogueport's Inn. In the ending he, the Mario Bros. and the Princess eventually leave Rougeport (via a boat) as they head back to the Mushroom Kingdom.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Toadsworth makes a cameo in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! whenever two characters wins a cup; he drives the Parade Kart that takes them to their trophy. The kart he drives, the Parade Kart, can also be used in the game.
Mario Power Tennis
Toadsworth makes another cameo appearance as the referee in Mario Power Tennis, where he sits on a high chair and watches characters play. He also appears in the opening, sponsoring the tournament match between Mario and Luigi vs Yoshi and Donkey Kong before Wario and Waluigi interfered with it.
Mario Baseball series
The Mario Baseball series was Toadsworth's first playable appearance. Toadsworth is a playable character in both Mario Superstar Baseball and its sequel, Mario Super Sluggers. He is on Peach's team, the "Peach Monarchs". Throughout the two games, he uses a larger version of his cane as his bat. He is a very skillful fielder in both games and has a great pitch, but he doesn't hit for power, doesn't run fast, and has low stamina.
Mario Golf series
While not physically appearing in any Mario Golf games, a statue of Toadsworth appears in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour on Hole 7 of Peach's Castle Grounds.
Mario Party 7
As a token of his appreciation for all that Mario and his friends had done for the Kingdom, Toadsworth organizes an extravagant cruise in traditional Mario Party fashion in Mario Party 7. He is also the host of the boards. However, the cruise is deterred by Bowser, who is furious about his exclusion from the guest list. Toadsworth also runs the Duty Free Shop in this game, where players can buy merchandise, view figures they purchased, listen to sounds, and view records.
Yakuman DS
In the Japan-only game Yakuman DS (a heavily Mario-themed mah-jong game), Toadsworth is the first-ranked and most difficult opponent that is unlockable.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Toadsworth appears as one of the many stickers in the game, as well as having his own trophy.
Character Description
Clothing
Toadsworth is portrayed as wearing a light purple vest with gold buttons that have Toad emblems on them. Layered on top of the vest is a purple, sleeveless jacket (or vest) that hangs down like a tuxedo with gold trim. Underneath he wears white bottoms and brown, padded booties. He also wears small, black glasses and a red bow-tie. He walks around using a stick-like, cane that has a brown mushroom cap on top with beige spots on it. His cane appears to be a magical stick as seen in New Super Mario Bros. as he could create ? Blocks with it.
Characteristics
Toadsworth has the same body and facial structure as other Toads; he has the same round head and features most other members of his species share. He is also rather small in size despite his age. His skin is a tan complexion, and his eyes are small, dark, and oval-shaped. He has the appearance of an elderly man, and he has a southern English accent.
Hair
Toadsworth has a beige cap with brown spots. He also has a puffy, white moustache that covers his mouth at all times. In Mario Golf: Advance Tour, if the player looks in a locker, they will find a fake mustache labeled "Toadsworth"; this either means that his mustache is fake or that the fake one encountered in the locker is simply a joke.

Bio
"Princess Peach's attendant. Though he says his life gets shorter every time Princess Peach gets abducted, he is always in good health and full of energy. While he lacks in stamina, he makes up for it by making cool plays that take advantage of his long life's worth of experience."
Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
| Name | Image | Game | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toadsworth | File:Toadsworth Trophy.jpg | GCN Super Mario Sunshine | An elderly, refined Toad steward of Princess Peach, with a white beard and small glasses. He advises Mario on his adventures and has appeared in many games since his debut in Super Mario Sunshine. Although he can get annoyingly flustered, it's only because he cares for Peach. In the Japanese mah-jongg game Yakuman DS, Toadsworth appears as a competitive opponent. |

Relationship to Peach
There is much confusion surrounding Peach and Toadsworth's relationship. It is said on Nintendo.com's page for Super Mario Sunshine that he is Peach's father, which would make him King Toadstool. However, it has been stated in games and game booklets that Toadsworth is Peach's attaché and thus, is subordinate to her (while if he were King, he would be the ruling monarch). Additionally, in Mario Superstar Baseball, when naming all of the players on Peach's team, Lakitu says "And... your grandpa?! Oh, pardon me! Venerable Toadsworth!" While not made entirely clear, Lakitu may have at first been mistaken, but then corrected himself. Peach also addresses him as "Toadsworth" (not as "Father" or "Grandfather") in Super Mario Sunshine.

Trivia
- He has appeared in only one Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, one Mario Kart, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and only one Mario Party (series), Mario Party 7, so far, all of which were games for the Nintendo GameCube.
- In Super Mario Galaxy, an elderly Luma named Polari is the galactic counterpart for Toadsworth, similar to how Rosalina is Peach's galactic counterpart. Despite having a galactic counterpart, Toadsworth himself does not make an appearance in this game.
