Mike the Mailtoad

Mike is the name given to the Mailtoad of Super Mario Galaxy. He was christened as such by his adoptive mother, Honey, in 2020, near the beginning of the Corona Virus quarantine. His primary objective in life is to deliver mail and packages, as stated by his occupation and demonstrated in his uniform.

## Personality

Mike is a very cheery toad, while not being naively optimistic. He is much wiser than he initially appears, as looks can be deceiving. He always looks forward to the future, seeing each new day as a new opportunity. He is very private about his family life, finding it in his and other’s best interest to keep the burden of packages and burden of emotion separated. An excellent listener, Mike is always willing to lend a hand or keep a secret.

## Appearance

Mike is an average-sized Toad, donning a large pink mushroom cap, as well as a matching vest, white pants, and brown shoes. The main item that separates Mike from any other average Toad is his large mailbag, always bustling with the notes of inhabitants from all kingdoms!

Under his hat, he secretly possesses a combover of dark hair, the same blackish-brown color as his eyes.

## Biography

Not much is known of Mike’s childhood, though it is unclear if he is uncomfortable by the subject or instead just wishes to not dwell on the past. He didn’t discover his passion of mailman-ing until a good bit later in his life, and as a result, always reminds others that life doesn’t end when their youth does. However, this lack of his initial defining trait makes cataloging his life before his marriage very spotty.

Mike was married to Cheryl the Secretarytoad in the 90’s, having two children with her. He is extremely proud and supportive of both his sons and Cheryl, but unfortunately, in the early 2000s, disaster struck. Cheryl filed for divorce on their 7-and-a-halfth anniversary, initially with little shared custody. Mike fell into a severe depression for a good year, before recieving  birthday cards from his good friends in the then-unformed Toad Brigade. The brief but reassuring joy of seeing his name on a colorful envelope coated in stickers ignited a spark in Mike, and he realized his true purpose in life.

By the time the events of Super Mario Galaxy, Mike had decided to reunite with his son, Captain Toad, and, spurred on by the others, finally took on his dream of delivering that same joy he felt that fateful day. He braved the reaches of the galaxy to deliver Peach’s supportive boosts and Luigi’s cries of help to Mario on the Comet Observatory. After this stint, he assisted Mario further in the events of Super Mario Galaxy 2, residing on the Starship Mario to serve the same purpose to his mustachioed recipient.

In present day, Mike is living in the Mushroom Kingdom happily, and is back on the dating scene after realizing his true sexuality. He and Cheryl are on more amicable terms now, and he sees his sons frequently, often stopping by to help the Toad Brigade with Spring cleaning or dinner parties. He makes a mean Fire Flower salsa!!

### The Twitter Saga

July 11th, 2020, Mike decided to join Twitter. He was met with shining reception, as all his fans flocked towards the mysterious new account. It is currently unknown if Twitter is available in the Mushroom Kingdom, or if he used a VPN.

It had a rocky moment, as he and Cheryl disputed about his new account. Cheryl’s replies to his frequent @’s and replies are undocumented, as she was banned for unknown reasons shortly after she privated the account. Initially distraught, Mike rebounded as he always does, and continued posting and delivering mail, now expanding his reach to Twitter DMS for convenience in the modern age.
