TheToad General is a minor character inThe Super Mario Bros. Movie. He is a blueToad sporting glasses and a bowtie and speaking in a deep voice. He takes command of the meeting inPeach's Castle, explaining and demonstrating with an interactive 3D map toPrincess Peach thatBowser andhis army have taken over theSnow Kingdom.
The Toad General's appearance and role bear a strong resemblance to other Toads, such asHint Toad,Toadbert, andRuss T. All four characters are blue Toads wearing glasses and are portrayed as being highly intelligent. Additionally, his outfit resemblesToadsworth's (who appears in early concept art for the film)[1] but with different colors.
In providing a voice suitable for the Toad General,Eric Bauza said the filmmakers wanted "a very serious guy with a very serious message to deliver. They said they didn't want a cartoony voice. We want something likeMichael Ironside. Something terrifying!"[2]
