Biography[]
As an infant, Mallow lived with his parents, the king and queen of Nimbus Land, until he became separated from them and wound up being found by the sage Frogfucius (known as Frog Sage in the remake) near Tadpole Pond. Not knowing where the lost infant came from, Frogfucius took Mallow in and decided to raise him among the tadpoles as his grandson, something which made Mallow believe he was also a tadpole growing up despite not looking like one. One day, Mallow was sent on an errand to buy a Cricket Pie at the Mushroom Kingdom when the coin he was given to spend was stolen by a thief named Croco. Mallow tries to catch the thief but is not quick enough and begins to cry when Mario comes to assist him. They work together to track Croco down and retrieve the stolen goods before Mallow decides to join Mario on his adventures.
After working with Mario to save the Mushroom Kingdom from Mack (known as Claymorton in the remake) and his minions, Mallow accompanied him to visit Tadpole Pond where Frogfucius revealed to Mallow the truth about his origins before urging him to seek out his biological parents. Mallow and company journey across the land gathering Star Pieces when they eventually discovered Mallow's status as royalty in Nimbus Land and stop a plot to usurp his position as prince. Mallow finally reunites with his parents afterwards, but decides to continue helping Mario and the rest of the party retrieve the remaining Star Pieces and stop the Smithy Gang's attempt at global conquest.
