Toad

Toad, Peach's longtime servant, first showed off his strength in Super Mario Bros. 2, then proved to be an agile driver in Super Mario Kart. Not the best of guards, Toad must often be rescued.



History
Toad first appeared in the original Super Mario Bros. for the NES, as "Mushroom Retainer". Mario rescued Toad from the first seven castle levels. In the eighth castle, he rescued Princess Toadstool.

Toad appeared again in Super Mario Bros. 2. This time his name was Toad, and he was a playable character (along with Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool). He wasn't very good at jumping, but he was extremely fast when it came to plucking vegetables or digging sand.

For the third installment of the Super Mario Bros. series, Toad was once again a non-playable character. All he did was tell Mario to find the Magic Wand to turn the Mushroom Kings back to normal.

Toad was the main character of Wario's Woods, a Nintendo puzzle game. He was helped by Birdo and a fairy named Wanda.

Toad also appeared in Luigi's Mansion. When Luigi talked to him, he was crying. Luigi cheered him up and Toad let him save the game in return.

Toad also appears in the Mario Party and Mario Kart series, as well as the various Mario sports games.
