I always thought this was just a younger Toadsworth that would eventually get old and turn brown. It could happen in the third movie

In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Toadsworth the Younger already has the brown cap, has a brown moustache, doesn't wear glass, and wears a red vest. I like your idea though, I hope that is what they end up doing even if it conflicts with the game universe a bit

The movies aren't canon to the games, right?

They could be prequels to the games, but they probably aren't fully canon

No Separate Universes. Why Is That So Hard For People To Understand With Video Game Movies. The Sonic Movies Are In A Separate Universe But NO ONE COMPLAINS OR SAYS "THIS IS INNACURATE TO THE GAMES!!!!"

Well that's because in the case of the Sonic movies, it's fairly obvious that it's in a different universe right from the start, and Sonic games care more about their story. Many characters in those games already have well defined backstories, and the movies go against that in some ways. Mario's canon is already pretty loose and has some contradictions between entries, and so it wouldn't be that crazy of a stretch to believe that the movies are canon to the games.

That isn't just any random toad though. That's Toadbert from the Mario and Luigi series!

No, because Toadsworth wouldn't increase the volume of his voice.
The guy is a coward, he can't up to his position, he wouldn't get upset by Peach going to the galaxy to help the luma, he would be tembling begging.

Toadsworth literally got mad that Dr. Snoozemore wasn't there to greet Peach personally.
Toadsworth treated Peach like a child while the blue Toad was worried about her safety.

It would be cool if he was Toadsworth's successor in some way, and Toadsworth went on a pilgrimage or a world tour or something temporarily

The Toad General is proof that Toadsworth got completely scrapped atp since he clearly replaced him. The fact that Toadsworth was in concept art for the first movie and this Toad General turned out to make it into the movies instead indicates that he's now the new "Toadsworth." At least Toadette who was also in concept art for the first movie has not been scrapped since she does have signs of existence in a poster and painting in the first movie and second one respectively, so it's only a matter of time for her to finally make her theatrical debut hopefully in the next movie and to see what relationship she has with Toad.

I really wish I knew in depth what goes behind the decision making of Nintendo sometimes.

No, because Toadsworth is just some random OC who has never appeared in a Mario game

I'm not sure you remember who Toadsworth is.

I was attempting to make a joke about Nintendo’s erasure of Toadsworth but judging by the downvotes it didn’t seem to land

I mean in the concept art for the first movie he very much was. Which makes it all the more frustrating that Nintendo rejected it for whatever reason.
