| Godly Member | If peach is a princess, who's the king and queen? How is it that a princess has absolute power in her kingdom? Shouldn't she be a queen? Where are her parents the queen and king!?? Has anyone ever thought about this before? __________________ ![]() Click here to level up my card! |

For that matter, is Peach really the same person as Princess Toadstool? That doesn't fly with me, and most other old fans of the series. |

| Senior Member | Peach is the same person as Toadstool. Her full name is Peach Toadstool. She goes by Princess Toadstool in Super Mario World. |

She was never "Peach" anything until Mario 64. Princess Toadstool was a redhead, too. |

| Senior Member | Retcons? I guess Nintendo decided that Toadstool was kind of an unfitting name for a princess. That's my theory, at least. Also, I guess she hasn't been made a queen yet or something. |

| Senior Member | Then why does Toadstool look exactly the same as Peach in Super Mario World and why is she blonde and not a redhead? |

They synchronized more with Japan, which preferred to portray Toadstool as a blonde bimbo. There, she always had the name "Peach". But in western marketing, she already had an established and multi-faceted personality. Most older fans of the series are likely to prefer that to the one-dimensional Barbie-doll called Peach.

| Senior Member | The Mushroom Kingdom is ruled as a monarchy in which the ruler is called a "Princess" Also, damn you guys sure get pissed off when things change don't you? |

Gender: Posts: 13,965 Thanks: 982 Thanked 1,691 Times in 809 Posts | Eh, I guess I'll pitch my theory, or at least one of them. Peach is the sovereign ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, but is still only a princess because in order for her to be an actual queen, she must have a king. Until that happens, she is still just a princess. Uhh, have any of you seen Shrek? Think Lord Farquad. |

| Godly Member | There've been queens who haven't had a king. Whatever, it's just one of those things that Nintendo never thought through all the way. I guess another thing they've never thought through is why the heck they don't have any humans except for Peach, Mario, Wario, Waluigi, and Luigi. __________________ ![]() Click here to level up my card! |

| Senior Member | It's a video game. You can just as easily have a Princess be a ruler just as much as you can have Crocodiles stealing bananas to anger a bunch of monkeys. Also, There are other humans in the Mushroom Kingdom. They're just rare. |
