Director and programmer, Koichi Hayashida has spoken about one of the most enigmatic race of inhabitants in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Hayashide who was lead programmer on Super Mario Sunshine and director of Super Mario Galaxy 2, has explained that the Toads, despite gendered appearances are actually nongendered creatures:
“This is maybe a little bit of a strange story, but we never really went out of our way to decide on the sex of these characters, even though they have somewhat gendered appearances.
But I think what I can say is that Toadette and Toad are not siblings – perhaps it would be more accurate to say they are adventure pals. And that’s certainly true here [in Captain Toad].”
Hayashide was speaking to Gamespot about the upcoming title, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker when the subject turned to discussing the Toads and who and what they are. The director would not however confirm exactly what the Toads are, believing their makeup and origins should stay a mystery!
