Toadiko is one of Princess Peach's attendants in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. She strongly resembles Toadette, and her name seems to include「~子」(-ko), which is often seen in girls' names in Japan.
Toadiko and Toadbert accompany Peach on her visit to the Mushroom Kingdom of the past in Professor E. Gadd's time machine. They accidentally arrive in the midst of the Shroob invasion of the kingdom, however, and are kidnapped. While Peach is taken by Princess Shroob, Toadiko and Toadbert both escape from the castle but are separated. Toadiko is later seen strapped to a vim-draining tree in Toadwood Forest. When Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi arrive in Toadwood Forest, Toadiko, with little stamina left, reveals to Mario that the Shroobs have captured Peach, and they are draining the vim from Toads to use as fuel for their saucers.
The Shroobs overhear the conversation. As such, a few saucers arrive and shoot an energy blast at Toadiko, turning her into a Shroob mushroom. Toadiko's last words to the Mario brothers are "Gather... shards...", referring to Cobalt Star shards. At the end of the game, when E. Gadd uses the Hydrogush to send the baby tears into the past to destroy all of the Shroob mushrooms, she is restored to normal.
Appearance[edit]
Toadiko is a female Toad who has a pink mushroom cap with white spots, similar to Toadette's color. Toadiko also wears golden earrings and a pink dress shirt.
