The '''Minister of Massage''' is a minor character that appears in the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comics. As his name implies, the Minister is a master in the art of massage; he claims he can use his abilities to cure {{wp|neuralgia}}, {{wp|rheumatism}}, and even stiff shoulders. He appears to be a [[Toad (species)|Toad]], although he differs greatly from the average Toad due to his many stereotypical Asian features, specifically Chinese, which include his {{wp|Geta|wood sandals}}, his traditional robes, heavy circular glasses, buckteeth, and the {{wp|taijitu}} on his mushroom cap. Indeed, the Minister of Massage sees himself as continuing the art of massage as developed by the ancient Mount Fuji [[Mount Fuji Karate School|Karate School]]. | |||
The Minister of Massage is called in by [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s Toad attendants after [[Mario]] is turned to stone during [[Bowser]]'s attack on the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Using his skill in the art of massage, the Minister manages to revive Mario to his previous self after a week of work. | |||
