Blue Toad is one of the five members of the Toad Brigade, which act as Princess Peach's attendants and royal guards. He is the smartest member of the brigade and often helps Mario with the use of his knowledge.

History

Super Mario Galaxy

In this game, Blue Toad appears as one of the five members in the Toad Brigade. He was said to have escaped with the 4 other toads and Luigi from the Mushroom Kingdom into Space. However they were soon separated from Luigi. Eventually, Mario came along and saved the 5 Toads (including Blue Toad) in the Honeyhive Galaxy. Throughout the game, the Toad Brigade attempts to help Mario on his quest by traveling throughout the different galaxies in the search for Power Stars. In their last appearance in the game, the five Toads are revealed to have been promoted to being Royal Guards due to their work of helping Mario.

Of the Toad Brigade, Blue Toad is shown to be the smartest of the five Toads and has provided Mario with some very useful information about the galaxies. To show his intelligence, Blue Toad appears wearing glasses in this game and is called the "smart one".

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Blue Toad is once again part of the Toad Brigade in Super Mario Galaxy 2. He, along with the other Toads in the brigade, arrive on Starship Mario after Mario clears Spin-Dig Galaxy. Once again, he is the smartest, and often gives Mario hints on how to defeat Bowser. His speech changes every time Mario clears a world.

Characteristics

Personality

Ever since his debut appearance in the Mario series, Blue Toad is often portrayed as to being no different than other members of his species. Due to the fact that he is often shown alongside the companionship of other toads, Blue Toad was forced to be given small and generic roles in most of his appearances. His intelligence is further proven in Super Mario Galaxy where he provides many tips for Mario.

Trivia

  • Blue Toad shares many similar characteristics with the characters Toadbert, and Russ T. as they are all blue-spotted Toads, are intelligent, and wear glasses (though Blue Toad only demonstrates the last two traits in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2).
  • It is possible that the Blue Toad from New Super Mario Bros. Wii is this specific Toad, as the two have strong similarities appearance-wise.
  • In Super Mario Galaxy 2, after giving the Banktoad 1000 Star Bits, he will wear a pair of glasses similar to Blue Toad's pair because he wants to look smart.
  • In Super Mario Galaxy 2 in Boulder Bowl Galaxy, the Blue Toad will be picking at the ground with a pickaxe. He says he lost his glasses, but upon closer examination using the first-person view, he is actually hitting his glasses with his pick.
