Personality[]
Toadsworth is a kind character who tries his best to help others, particularly Princess Peach, whom he cares for very deeply, having had a hand in raising her since she was a baby. Toadsworth constantly worries about Peach when she has been kidnapped by Bowser, and while Toadsworth is quick to panic and flee with the other Toads when danger arises, he sometimes tries to stay and protect the princess or offer advice to the Mario Bros. Toadsworth is known for addressing many other characters with the "Master" honorific due to his polite nature.[2]
History[]
Metallix Saga[]
Toadsworth spectated the Mushroom Kingdom Smash Tournament and later, the battle between Mario and Bowser alongside Princess Peach. After Bowser turned the tide of battle in his favor with the power of the Metal Mushroom and prepared to finish Mario off, Toadsworth was seen panicking at the situation. He later fainted from shroomshock after Kamek held Princess Peach hostage under the threat of transforming her into a Goomba for the rest of her life to prevent Mario from continuing to fight back.
After the conflict with Bowser was resolved, Toadsworth was seen beside Princess Peach, who had invited the two strangers who had emerged from the capsule that materialized over Bowser and shattered his Metal form. Having introduced themselves as Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic requests a favor. He asks if they would be willing to assist in their search for a set of mystical artifacts called the Chaos Emeralds. After Shadow explains their properties and the potential threat they could pose, Toadsworth insists upon forming multiple search parties to seek the Emeralds out, fearing the possibility of Bowser obtaining them. However, Sonic rejects the idea, claiming that it'd be better to keep the search quiet to avoid causing a panic.
