Trivia[]
- Grape's name, when combined with that of the Sour Bunch, plays off the phrase "sour grapes."
- Additionally, the play on the phrase, "sour grapes", reference Ancient Greek theater's celebrations to honor Dionysis, the god of wine and theater.
- This makes her an appropriate arch-nemesis to Peach, who is named after a fruit known for being sweet.
- During her final transformation, one of her powers are hyperactive beams, which this is a nod to final antagonists of the Kirby games where they mostly use beams to wipe out Kirby.
- In fairy tales, sorceress (also known as witches) are the archenemies of princesses and fairies, so Madame Grape’s position as Princess Peach's archenemy makes sense.
- She will become Yoshi Dinosaur's enemy in Yoshi's Adventures of Princess Peach Showtime!
