'''Toad Houses''' (or '''Toad houses'''), also known as '''Toad's Houses''',<ref>''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' instruction booklet, page 7.</ref> are [[mushroom]]-shaped buildings that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They have since made appearances in more recent games. Toad Houses are usually located across every [[world]] map except for the last world within the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games. Toad Houses always hold either a useful surprise or reward for the player, most frequently power-ups. Within most games, Toad Houses are generally run and hosted by ally characters such as [[Toad]], [[Toadsworth]], and a variety of other [[Toad (species)|Toads]].

There are also three different-colored Toad Houses in the bonus [[World-e]] in ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''. However, instead of containing items in boxes, they have [[minigame]]s that reward random items. To unlock the gates blocking them, one must collect the required number of [[Advance Coin]]s.

In ''[[BS Super Mario Collection]]'', Toad House is a screen with a pink background where the player simply chooses one of the three boxes, which may include [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. They appear in week 2 and 3 installments, which are based on ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

A variant known as 「{{hover|なえのいえ|Nae no ie}}」 (Nae's house) is hosted by Nae Yūki, who narrated the game with live audio. This house appears as a [[Fire Flower]] panel on a world map on all the known installments. Similar to Toad Houses, they are screens with a yellow background. By answering yes to both of Nae's questions, players activate 「{{hover|おばけモード|Obake mōdo}}」 (ghost mode) that allows them to become [[Fire Mario]] as they exit a level but prevents them from participating in rankings.

In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' versions 3.0.0 and later, three different types of green Toad Houses can be placed on a world map in [[Super Mario Maker 2#World Maker|World Maker]], each with its own minigame that can be played to earn extra lives:
In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' versions 3.0.0 and later, three different types of green Toad Houses can be placed on a world map in the [[Super Mario Maker 2#World Maker|World Maker]] mode. Each type of Toad House has its own minigame that can be played to earn extra lives, and the different minigames are distinguished by the icon on their roof in the editor: the three minigames, [[Catch & Win!]], [[Match & Win!]] and [[Pop & Win!]], are represented by a [[Baseball (object)|baseball]], a [[Super Star]], and a [[Power Balloon]] pump, respectively. However, when the player is on the world map, these icons are not visible and all of the types of Toad Houses appear identical, meaning that the player cannot determine which of the minigames is contained inside until they enter the Toad House. After the player plays a minigame, the Toad House disappears.
*'''Match & Win!:''' This is directly based on the [[Spade Panel]] slot minigame from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Making a [[Super Mushroom]] grants the player one life, making a [[Fire Flower]] gives three lives, and making a Super Star gives five lives. If the player fails to make any of those, the Toad House generates the resulting picture as an object and no lives are awarded.
*'''Pop & Win!:''' The player has to press {{button|switch|A}} repeatedly to inflate a green Toad House balloon as much as possible. The player can earn one, three, or five lives depending on how large the balloon is inflated before it pops. This minigame is a reference to the Famicom Disk Writer kiosks when it writes new games for the [[Family Computer Disk System|Famicom Disk System]], and even uses an SNES-styled arrangement of the original music and sound effects.<ref>Japancommercials4U2 (February 18, 2009). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKN3uWZ5lrQ&t=4m9s Game Music DVD Bonus - Famicom Disk Writer] (at 4:09). ''YouTube''. Retrieved May 13, 2020.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/Akfamilyhome/status/1252911891615084544 Famicom Disk Writer reference], as pointed out by Akfamilyhome</ref>
*'''Catch & Win!:''' The player has to jump and catch 10 baseballs fired by a [[Bill Blaster]]-like cannon so they do not hit the green Toad House behind them. The cannon fires baseballs at varying speeds and trajectories. The player can earn five lives by catching every ball, three lives if the Toad House is hit once, and one life if the Toad House is hit twice. If the Toad House suffers three hits, the player fails the minigame and [[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mario]] appears from inside the house and shoos them away. This minigame uses sound effects and an SNES-styled arrangement of the title theme from the NES game ''{{wp|Baseball (1983 video game)|Baseball}}''.
 
After the player plays a minigame, the Toad House disappears.
