Toadiko



Toadiko is a pink-capped Toad and one of Princess Peach's attendants. During the events of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Toadiko accompanied Peach on her visit to the Mushroom Kingdom of the past in Professor E. Gadd's time machine. Unfortunately, Toadiko and Peach visit during the Shroob invasion of the kingdom and were captured by the mushroom aliens. While Peach was imprisoned, Toadiko was sent to the Toadwood Forest and strapped to a vim-draining tree. When the Mario bros. of past and present arrived in the forest, they discovered Toadiko's near-lifeless body. With much of her vim drained, Toadiko had very little stamina left. However, she managed to reveal to the four Mario brothers that Peach was captured by the Shroobs, and that the Shroobs were draining the vim from Toads to use as fuel for their flying saucers.

Unfortunately, the Shroobs overheard the conversation. As such, a Shroob UFO arrived and shot an energy blast at Toadiko, turning the Toad into a purple Shroob mushroom. Toadiko's last words to the Mario brothers were "Gather... shards...", referring to Cobalt Star shards. Ultimately, as Kylie Koopa and Toadbert were revived from their fate as Shroob mushrooms, Toadiko was as well.
