Blue Toad (character)

Blue Toad is a Toad who has appeared in many of Mario's adventures and has assisted him in many ways. In many of the earlier appearances he made, Blue Toad appears as a rather generic character who had no real personality. However, the character was slowly built up to be given more personality as seen in his more major roles, such as Super Mario Galaxy. Blue Toad appears as one of the four heroes in New Super Mario Bros. Wii as well.

Blue Toad, supposedly nicknamed Bucken-Berry by Nintendo developers and Yvan by IGN forum members, appears as the fourth playable character in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Unlike his other appearances, Blue Toad is shown to be extremely brave as he joins with the Mario bros on their mission to save Princess Peach from Bowser and his children. He is shown to be able to wear all of the Power Ups that are available in the game, including the new Propeller Suit and Penguin Suit. He also has access to all of the original Power Ups including the Fire Flower. He is also able to perform certain abilities such as the Ground Pound and the Spin Jump. Strangely, Blue Toad does not appear in this game wearing the thick glasses that he had worn in Super Mario Galaxy.

In the ending of the game, Blue Toad along with Yellow Toad and Luigi can be seen descending from the sky in hot air balloons. After Luigi allows Mario and Peach to ride his balloon, he is soon left behind as he waves to the Toads. However, Blue Toad happily invited Luigi to ride in the balloon that the two Toads were riding in.

Personality
In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Blue Toad is also shown as a courageous character, who is able to venture alongside the Mario bros on their dangerous mission to save Princess Peach.

 * European Official Site Bio: "As loyal servants to the Mushroom Kingdom throne, there's no way the Toads are about to sit back and watch Bowser and Co. bring their unsavoury schemes to fruition. Toads have aided Mario on plenty of adventures in the past, but this time around they're not just letting Mario know the princess is in another castle - they're coming along for the ride!"

Trivia

 * Yvan, the name IGN forum members refer Blue Toad as, is 'navy' spelled backwards.
 * Nintendo supposedly named him Bucken-Berry.
