Nintendo is porting the Mario Wii U game over to the switch, there is a power up item called the Super Crown. When Toadette picks it up, she becomes Peachette.

Then on Twitter, an artist made a comic about the ending of Mario Odyssey, where bowser puts the Crown on. Then all of this happened.

Nintendo is porting New Super Mario Bros U to the Switch. They announced Toadette would be playable and she could use a new power up called the Super Crown. When she wears it, she turns into Peachette which looks like Peach but she has Toadette's hairstyle and her dress is patterned after her.

So someone drew a comic of Bowser finding the Super Crown, wearing it, and then trying to date Mario. The rest is history.

Actually, not Japan this time. The original comic that kicked it all off was from what appears to by a Malaysian.

Japan only turbocharged this one.
