The beginning

The Mario game franchise was created in the 1980s by Japanese game designer Nintendo Shigeru Miyamoto. At first, the plumber was reportedly only developed to be Donkey Kong’s monkey opponent in one of the games.

actual title

As echoed by the ScreenRant portal, “Super Mario Bros. O Filme” clarifies that Peach, dubbed in the production by Anya-Taylor Joy, is the daughter of King Toadstool, the Mushroom King, ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. That way, being the daughter of a monarch, she receives the title of princess, and has the right to walk around showing off her beautiful crown.

By having a similar name, many people may confuse and think that the Toad present in the games is Peach’s father, however, the little mushroom that is always by the princess’s side is, in reality, her butler. King Toadstool never appeared in the games, and only makes a minor appearance in the comics, where he is briefly mentioned in Peach’s character guide profile.
