→Scripulous Fingore: I completely understand that Fingore does not have a place here. It may be a popular joke, but "popular" does not mean "pass". It's a joke that, well, everybody understood.

On November 17, 2014, GameSpot posted [http://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-reveals-the-toads-gender-secret/1100-6423610/ an article] featuring a segment of an interview with [[Koichi Hayashida]] on ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', who, when discussing the Toad's genders, stated that, "[...]we never really went out of our way to decide on the sex of these characters, even though they have somewhat gendered appearances." This led the article's writer and many others to conclude that the [[Toad (species)|Toad species]] is a genderless race. Other more direct sources reveal, however, that Toads are not exactly genderless. An interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, for instance, has clarified that when Toads were designed, the developers did not focus on their genders until [[Toadette]], who was clearly designed to be female, was introduced, and then players began assuming the Toad character as male.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUkU6O4p7Lw&t=8m44s Shigeru Miyamoto Interview (Creator of Mario!)]. iJustine (December 17, 2014).
