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. Gaddâ€™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 Toadikoâ€™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. While the four Mario bros. escaped the Shroob assault, they were unable to save Toadiko. With her last bit of energy, Toadiko tells the Marios to gather the shards of the Cobalt Star.

There is a possibility that Toadiko survived, along with the other Toads. What happened to the Toads after the plant was destroyed is never covered in the game, although it is noted that the Shroob's handiwork was destroyed by a formula similar baby tears. It is unknown if this caused a return of Vim to the Toads.
