- “Please, allow me to introduce myself! I am Chef Toad! As you may have heard, I am the head chef here, and I just love preparing wonderful meals for our guests! I sure do hope you are having a wondeful time visiting us here in the Mushroom Kingdom!”
- —Chef Toad, Super Nintendo World[1]
Chef Toad is a red-capped Toad character who appears as the head chef of Toadstool Cafe at Super Nintendo World. His cap is similar to the Super Mushroom's design used since Super Mario World.
He appears in an animated video presented as a window from a waiting area into the kitchen of the café. In the video, the chef walks into view and begins preparing food, then notices guests through the window and begins talking to them about the restaurant and their time at the park.
According to the Super Nintendo World website, the Super Mushroom Pizza Bowl with Mushroom Tomato Sauce is his secret recipe.
He is one of the several characters to receive official Super Nintendo World merchandise (a plush, a figure, a key chain, and a risotto set), which can be purchased at 1-UP Factory.[2]
Chef Toad and Chef Kinopio from Paper Mario: The Origami King share a name in Japanese.
