Toadette: Difference between revisions

'''Toadette''' is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] character who first appeared as an unlockable playable character and [[Toad]]'s default partner in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. Toadette has since appeared in various other games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']] franchise as a playable or supporting character, and is the most commonly recurring female Toad in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. Toadette has been shown to be on good terms with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and their friends, sometimes helping them on their adventures. Toadette's defining traits are her bouncing pigtails, cheerful and energetic personality, and occasional bursts of creativity.

Toadette, along with the other characters, returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', an enhanced port of ''Mario Kart 8'' for [[Nintendo Switch]]. She is now available from the start and shares stats with only Wendy and Isabelle. She is also the 200cc Staff Ghost for {{classic-link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}}. [[Peachette]], a powered-up version of Toadette, also appears as a playable character as part of Wave 6 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. As such, Toadette won't appear as a CPU if Peachette is present in the race, although both appear in the {{media link|MK8DXThankYouEndScreen.jpg|photo}} which appears at the end of the credits for the ''Booster Course Pass''.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Toadette appears whenever [[Mario]] discovers a new [[hammer]] upgrade or a new pair of [[Boots]]. Toadette hosts a tutorial session with Mario and explains how to use the new ability (a role similar to [[Toad]]'s in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''), and whenever Mario uses a new item on the first try correctly, she blushes. During her last tutorial with Mario, Toadette runs off in tears of emotions, knowing she will not see him for the rest of the adventure. After [[Punio]] returns to [[Boggly Woods]], Toadette leaves a message on the notice board in [[Rogueport]] wondering where he went. If Mario attempts to fix the [[Happy Lucky Lottery]] and is caught, [[Lucky]] mentions that he had to tell Toadette she will not be able to play. He also claims that this caused her to "burst into tears".

Toadette appears in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' under the name '''Archivist Toadette''', retaining her design from ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''. She appears to be a member of the [[Toad Brigade]]. She is found inside of [[Peach's Castle]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], where she gives Mario [[Power Moon]]s for speaking to her adter hsving completed certain achievements. A total of 61 Power Moons can be obtained from her. Because of the many Power Moons the player can obtain from her, the Mushroom Kingdom has the most unique obtainable Power Moons of all kingdoms in the game, at 104. In the Power Moon list, Power Moons obtained from Toadette are marked with Toadette's [[emblem]], and hovering over them shows the requirement that must be met to obtain it and (if applicable) the player's progress towards this.

Toadette appears in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' as a playable character. Unlike in ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe'', she plays identically to the other characters in the game. In addition, she has a role in the game's Story Mode, where she is referred to as '''Chief''' and wears a pink hardhat on her head and a belt around her waist. Before the story mode's finale, the Chief goes missing and Mario has to rescue her. Unlike in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'', in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, her Small form has unchanged coloration, rather than having a light pink cap with magenta spots. Similarly to many other characters, Toadette receives new sprites for the ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and ''Super Mario World'' styles, as well as being the only character receiving a new 3D model for the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, and is seen in her [[Big Mario|Big]], [[Superball Mario|Superball]], [[SMB2 Mario|SMB2]], [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]], [[Frog Mario|Frog]], [[Cape Mario|Cape]], [[Balloon Mario|Power Balloon]], [[Cat Mario|Cat]], [[Builder Mario|Builder]], and [[Boomerang Mario|Boomerang]] forms for the first time. Toadette's [[Checkpoint Flag]]s and [[Goal Pole]]s in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style show the colors of her hat and spots are swapped.

Toadette also appears in two of the stamps that players can post in the course world: one of them depicts her high-fiving Toad and another depicts the two holding hands together.

Toadette's Cat form is the only one not present in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

Toadette appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' in the ''Bowser's Fury'' mode. She appears near Fur Step Island after the player completes the main story and requests Mario and Bowser Jr. to search for Captain Toad, Hint Toad, Banktoad, and Yellow Toad around Lake Lapcat. After Mario finds every Toad, Toadette and the rest of the Toad Brigade celebrate at the campsite.

Toadette appears as one of the playable characters in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. In this game, Toadette plays identically as the other characters besides the Yoshis and Nabbit. At the start of the game, Toadette, alongside others, is invited to the [[Flower Kingdom]]. Daisy prevents her from falling over after Bowser uses a [[Wonder Flower]] to become [[Castle Bowser]].<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=August 31, 2023|url=www.youtube.com/live/G0m_uNaSres|title=Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct 8.31.2023|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 31, 2023}}</ref> Toadette later celebrates with the others when Castle Bowser is defeated and the kingdom is saved.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Toadette appears in her ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' appearance as a master [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], encountered in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]]. In her spirit battle, the player has to defeat a female [[Villager]] and a [[Mii Brawler]] in a Toad hat and vest on the [[smashwiki:Battlefield form|Battlefield form]] of [[The Great Cave Offensive]]. Once the battle is won, Toadette will host the Ruins, one of the locations in the Explore activity, where spirits can embark on a two-hour expedition searching for treasure. After each expedition, the player is often rewarded with Spirit Points.

In the [[Nintendo Switch]] exclusive DLC [[Special Episode]], Toadette hunts for the [[Shiny Crown|Shiny Crowns]] and [[Super Crown]] alongside Captain Toad. Unlike other chapters, Toadette can only be played as in multiplayer. As the chapter progresses, Toadette shows less interest in the common Shiny Crowns than Captain Toad, as she is really looking for the Super Crown, which is located on the 30th floor of the [[Chaos in the Grand Labyrinth|Grand Labyrinth]]. Once the last stage is completed, Chapter 1's ending sequence then plays, but the Super Crown hangs on a corner of the mine cart.

In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', Toadette makes a cameo on a banner that can be seen when Mario and Toad are walking through the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] town. On the banner, she is seen playing in a band with Toad and a blue Toad.<ref>{{cite|author=Illumination|date=December 8, 2022|url=youtu.be/e-3sYL7vJTQ|title=The Super Mario Bros.

Toadette was planned to make a physical appearance in the film, as she can be seen in early concept art.<ref>{{cite|author=GameXplain|date=April 23, 2023|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2KZXJg3ncA|title=Toadsworth & Toadette were in the Super Mario Bros.

[[File:MPA Toadette Artwork.jpg|130px|thumb|left|Solo picture of Toadette for ''Mario Party Advance'']]

Toadette is portrayed wearing a sleeveless pink dress with a thin white line near the bottom (except in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and the artwork for ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', where her dress is colored scarlet red with a thin yellow line). Layered on top of the dress is a bright red vest (colored pink or brown with the scarlet dress) with light gold trim linings by the edges. Underneath this, she wears white pants and brown, padded shoes.

Even without power-ups, Toadette's appearance still changes in ''Super Mario Maker 2''. In the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style, Toadette's shoes, vest, and eyes turn pink, matching the color of her dress, referencing the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]' technical limitations; however, her vest's gold lining is now colored white to differentiate it from her dress. In the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style, Toadette's vest turns black, its gold lining is missing, and her pants gain a pinkish tint; when standing, she keeps her hands clutched to her vest, emulating the Mario Bros.' standing sprites. Toadette's ''Super Mario World'' sprite bears a much closer resemblance to her current design, albeit with a blank "o"-shaped expression reminiscent of [[Kirby]], and still clutches onto her vest. In all three styles, Toadette has short legs that are visible when moving or jumping.

In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''{{'}} May Online Tournament, Toadette's new tennis attire is introduced. Toadette wears a pink visor cap with its rim surrounding her mushroom cap, while wearing her usual dress shirt and white pants, but with the Nintendo logo on the former; she also does not wear her usual vest. Toadette also wears lavender sneakers with her insignia on them, which also appears on her cap.

 

 

In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', Toadette wears a sleeveless pink shirt with white stripes on it, as well as pink sneakers with yellow laces, white stripes, and her emblem on them.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Toadette is introduced as Toad's partner, which has been continued throughout the spin-off games. According to the official guides from [[Prima Games|Prima]] for ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', [[Toad]] and Toadette are siblings.<ref>{{cite|quote=Toad's sister, Toadette, hasn't been seen before.

Additionally, in the ending screen of ''Mario Kart Wii'', the two Toads can be seen holding hands. In the introduction of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', both Toads can be seen sitting beside each other in a grassy plain while watching the shooting stars. Their team name in ''Mario Party 6'' indicates that, being the only two playable Toads, they are good friends. Regardless, the two are on good terms, including sharing good chemistry in the baseball games. It is revealed in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' that Toad built her a special table by himself (for her music recital), which was later given to her by Peach. However, they are not romantically involved, according to an interview with [[Koichi Hayashida]].<ref>{{cite|author=Corriea, A.
