-''Big Thaddeus Daddy Toad the II (sometimes called Big Daddy, or just "Blue Toad") is the end-all be-all of Toad coolness. He is the blue toad in Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario Bros. Wii U, and Super Mario 3D World. His family also made many major appearances in the Gamecube game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. In addition to adventuring with Mario, he is also president and co-founder of the TAEMF (Toad's Against the Eating of Mushrooms Foundation), a charity designed to prevent the production and consumption of mushrooms, which are, quote, "The heads of fallen comrades."
+'''Blue Toad''' is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] who made his first appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' as a playable sidekick for [[Mario]], along with [[Luigi]] and [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]]. He was supposedly nicknamed '''Bucken-Berry''' by Nintendo developers<ref>Holmes, Jonathan. [http://www.destructoid.com/nsmb-wii-release-bash-bucken-berry-and-ala-gold--155242.phtml NSMB Wii release bash: Bucken-Berry and Ala-Gold!]. Destructoid.com November 16, 2009. (Accessed June 28, 2012)</ref>. Blue Toad and Yellow Toad reprise their roles as playable characters in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', and have appeared in various other games as well.
 ==History==
-Big Daddy was born in a log cabin in Utah, the second son of Daddy Daddy and Momma Daddy (the first son was Pop Daddy, or, Yellow Toad). His dreams of getting a pony were shattered when his family had to eat horse meat during the war. At the age of 6, the Daddy family moved to Petalburg, where Big Daddy spent much time outside praising Gameboy games.
+===''Super Mario'' series===
+====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
+[[File:Bluetoad.png|frame|left]]
+[[File:BlueToad.png|thumb|right|140px|Blue Toad jumping in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]]
+Blue Toad appears as the fourth playable character in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. He first is seen at [[Princess Peach's Castle]] where he can be seen enjoying the festivities for [[Princess Peach]]'s birthday party along with fellow guests: [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]]. However, the party was soon interrupted by the [[Koopalings]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] who arrive with a disguise as a large birthday [[cake]] and using this disguise, they had managed to fool the heroes and kidnap Peach. This starts Blue Toad's adventure as he quickly follows the Mario Bros. and Yellow Toad to stop the Koopalings.
-Finding peace in the fields of Petalburg, he was rather distressed when his family moved to Rogueport, so his father, a struggling writer, could find work. He eventually rebelled and joined The Three Traveling Sisters, eventually dropping out because it "wasn't his style." After he left though, he continued dying his spots green, until eventually settling on his iconic blue. He still dyes his spots that blue today.
+Unlike the other Toads, Blue Toad is shown to be extremely brave as he teams up with the Mario bros. on their mission to rescue Princess Peach from [[Bowser]] and his minions. To save her, the heroes venture through many different, diverse worlds. Throughout their adventure, Blue Toad along with his friends meet many of the countless minions that Bowser Jr. had sent to stop the heroes. Despite this, Blue Toad and co. had still managed to keep on going and eventually they even come to the point of battling the Koopalings themselves. Upon defeating [[Kamek]] and Bowser Jr. in the [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|final world]], they soon come upon [[Bowser's Castle]] where the princess was held captive. From there, Blue Toad along with the other heroes would have to fight the evil King Bowser himself and upon defeating him, the heroes would be able to save Peach.
+Upon rescuing the Princess, each of the heroes (including Blue Toad) would get a kiss from princess as a thanks for saving her. In the cinematic ending of the game, Blue Toad along with Yellow Toad and Luigi can be seen descending from the sky in hot air balloons while approaching Mario and Peach (who both had just left Bowser's Castle). After Luigi allows Mario and Peach to ride his balloon back to Peach's Castle, he is soon left behind when Peach and Mario take off without him while he was waving to the Toads in their balloon. Fortunately, Blue Toad happily invited Luigi to ride in the balloon that he and Yellow Toad were riding in.
+====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
+[[Image:Toad and Blue Baby Yoshi.png|right|thumb|220px|Blue Toad using a bubble blowing [[Baby Yoshi]] to encase a [[Goomba]] in a bubble in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.]]
+Blue Toad makes his next appearance in the [[Wii U]] title, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. He regain his role as one of the main protagonists of the game along with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]] and [[Miis]].
+Within the game's introduction sequence, Blue Toad is first seen alongside Yellow Toad, the Mario Bros., and Princess Peach attending a lunch at the Peach's Castle. However, their peaceful get-together is soon ruined by the sudden appearance of multiple airships consisting of Bowser and the Koopalings. Using a giant mechanical arm (which extended itself from Bowser's airship into the main hall of Peach's Castle where the heroes were taking their lunch), Bowser pulled away Peach's chair from harm and instead gave a mighty punch at Blue Toad and the other three heroes (causing them to be knocked out).
+Seizing the opportunity, Bowser used the mechanical arm to scoop up Blue Toad and his friends and threw the heroes far across the Mushroom Kingdom. Upon crashing into the [[Acorn Tree]] consisting of [[Super Acorn]]s and falling back to the ground (with Blue Toad going as far as sliding on his large mushroom head from the force), the four heroes soon get up and see Peach's Castle getting invaded by Bowser's forces in the far distance. Deciding to take action, Blue Toad and his friends run across the plains in the start of a new adventure.
+=====''New Super Luigi U''=====
+[[File:Blue Toad Artwork - New Super Luigi U.png|100px|thumb|left|Blue Toad, holding a [[Red Shell]], in ''New Super Luigi U''.]]
+Blue Toad returns as a playable character within the multiplayer mode of the expansion pack game ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. Very much like in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', Blue Toad journeys through the Mushroom Kingdom to save Princess Peach once again along with the help of Luigi, Yellow Toad, and [[Nabbit]].
+While he plays similarly as in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', Blue Toad is able to perform a [[Scuttle|scuttle jump]] much like Luigi and the other playable characters.

+===''Mario Party'' series===
+====''Mario Party 9''====
+[[File:Time Attack2.png|thumb|Blue Toad introducing a minigame in the [[Time Attack (Mario Party 9)|Time Attack]] mode of ''Mario Party 9''.]]
+Blue Toad makes a later reappearance in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' as the host of the Minigame Mode. Being the signature host of this mode, Blue Toad often rewards the player upon the success and completion of the [[minigame]]s being featured. Blue Toad also presents the instructions and helpful hints to the players for the various minigames. He is also seen cheering on for the player as they reach closer to victory.
+In the [[High Rollers]] mode (of the Minigame Mode), Blue Toad presents himself with his very own block (with his own emblem on it). In the ending of the mode, Blue Toad along with Yellow Toad and [[Toad (species)|Green Toad]] allow the winner to ride into their Hot-air balloon to celebrate the character's victory.
+====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
+Blue Toad appears in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''. He appears to exchange collectibles to the player for Mario Party Points. He also participates in some of the minigame demos.

 ==General information==
 ===Personality===
-Big Daddy's spots are dyed blue. He typically where's shades, even during the night, cause, quote, "Coolness don't follow the sun." He is usually associated with being very suave, often being able to pull off moves and jumps other characters in the game can't. His voice is deep, like the rivers of his homeland, and female toads often swoon and sometimes die from his very presence. However, he can also be very business like, as the president of Toad's Against the Eating of Mushrooms Foundation. He has since garnered over 10,000,000 Coins from people. However, because there isn't much you can spend money on in the way of stopping mushroom production, much of this money was spent in casinos. When asked about eating mushrooms in games, he said "I'll do it, cause they're there and they make me grow, but I don't like it. Just the though of it makes me sick. Excuse me. *vomits*"
+In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Blue Toad is shown as a courageous character, who is able to venture alongside the Mario Bros. on their dangerous mission to save [[Princess Peach]] from Bowser and his minions; a force that most Toads tend to be afraid of. He is also shown to be kind and compassionate as seen in the ending of the game where he happily invites Luigi to ride in his and Yellow Toad's hot air balloon after he had been abandoned by Mario and Peach. In the introduction of ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', Blue Toad is shown to be even more finicky than his partner Yellow Toad as he is seen to be in an extreme alarm when Bowser's mechanical arm pulled away the Princess.
+In, ''[[Mario Party 9]]''  Blue Toad is an enthusiastic host shown through his positive attitude. He occasionally makes mistakes as a host, although he often quickly corrects himself as well to keep the games going.
+He is described as Peach's attendant/butler. <ref>http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-10-24-touring-the-world-with-miyamoto</ref>

-Throughout the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, Big Daddy plays similarly to Mario, except way better, because he's Big Daddy. While possessing the same [[jump]]s as Mario, he is also shown to use similar techniques as well including the [[Wall Jump]] and [[Ground Pound]]. He is also able to maximize his jumps by using a [[Spin Jump]]. Unlike the Mario Bros. however, Big Daddy (along with Pop Daddy) are shown to have a unique triple jump; the two Toads perform a high jump similar to a cartwheel while facing one side of the screen. Big Daddy is also shown to be quite strong, being able to carry items much larger than his own size (such as [[barrel]]s). He is also capable of picking up, carrying and throwing other characters (such as Mario) with ease. All of these traits are similar to not give players advantages over each other. In ''New Super Luigi U'', Big Daddy has the ability to perform a scuttle jump much like Luigi.
