Does anyone know the name of Peach's Grandmother in the game, or if she even has one? I know she is called grandmother by most characters in the game, but I do not know whether or not Nintendo decided to give her an official name. I've looked around on-line some and have not found anything, but you never know.

No. Her "grandmother" isn't even appeared in other games!
I believe it's just some Square make-up, and thus is not actually a main character.
At least you can tell, why is her gramdmother a Toad (If I recall correctly) but Peach is a human? There must be something...

I don't really consider SMRPG to be part of the Mario canon. I've never played it, though.....>_>

I'd say it's as much a Mario game as any of the other RPGs. Whatever "canon" means in terms of Mario, I'd say the RPGs are second only to the platformers, and remain more canon than everything else featuring Mario characters.

Note how I avoided the word "storyline" in my post But some people will try and build a temple out of dust. Just look at the Zelda series!

You mean those Zelda timeline theories?
I don't think there is actually a timeline of Mario's adventures.

Yeah, I meant the Zelda storyline theories. Hokum, all of them... and Nintendo just inflames the situation every time they open their mouths.

Mario does have a storyline, and is really simple!, the games go in the same order as they came out with only two esceptions,
-Yoshi´s Island, how goes at the begining
-Donkey Kong 94 that rempleces the original DK.
Any game that doesn´t have a history (like the Karts and sport spinoff) doesn´t take place in the storyline.

Sure, most of us think that Yoshi's Island and Donkry Kong 94 comes before everything, but in the main games,do they really happen in order? I've heard of that SMW happens before the 3 SMBs, and some other ridiclous things as well.
The conclusion is, Don't get too serious in storyline (and minor characters as well) for Mario games.

The only certainties (based on manual stories) is that...
SMW happened after SMB3 SML2 happened after SML
Which already means the games can't have happened in order of release,

Don't forget that theres problems with the whole DK arcade series - the Original DK grew up to be Cranky Kong in the DKC series, and, assuming it took at least 10 (more like about 30 by the looks of it), Mario is about 40 - 60 ish. He doesn't look like it, thats for sure.
Bah. I'm confused already.

I work on the assumption that Cranky Kong is a big fat liar. That way all the stuff about him being the original DK no longer bothers me

Well, since DK only appear in Mario games if they're spinoffs, that's just exactly the same case as baby Mario and baby Luigi. So... Mario & Luigi 2 could be the answer to this. EOF.

Peach has a grandmother in SMRPG, whether or not she is in any other games, or even if mario RPG is in the canon isnt what I was curious about. But my opinion on the debate is that SMRPG is a mario game, mario is in it, therefore its part of the mario world.
But I was asking if anyone knew if squaresoft had actually designated her an offical name, something more than "Grandmother"
