User:TheUndescribableGhost/Yellow Toad and Blue Toad

Yellow Toad and Blue Toad are two characters who first appeared in the game New Super Mario Bros. Wii, serving as two additional players alongside Mario and Luigi. They also appear in New Super Mario Bros. U, serving the same roles, though it is possible to play them as the first player in some modes. In New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, a single player can choose Yellow Toad or Blue Toad in the story mode, referred to as simply Toad.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Yellow Toad and Blue Toad first appear as the third and fourth playable characters in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They attend Princess Peach's birthday party with Mario and Luigi, which is interrupted when the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. kidnap Peach. After defeating Bowser and saving the princess, Blue Toad goes on a hot air balloon along with Yellow Toad. They would soon invite Luigi to join their balloon after his balloon leaves with Mario and Peach onboard.

Their gameplay is identical to Mario and Luigi though both Toads have different animations. They also have different voices, with Yellow Toad having a higher-pitched voice and Blue Toad having a lower-pitched one.

New Super Mario Bros. U
In New Super Mario Bros. U, the Toads serve similar roles to their previous appearance. In the opening cutscene, Yellow Toad and Blue Toad appear along with Mario and Luigi while attending lunch at Peach's Castle. However, Bowser and the Koopalings attempt to take over her castle and throw Mario, Luigi, and the Toads out of the castle, landing in Acorn Plains. The voice lines are the opposite as in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, with Yellow Toad having a lower-pitched voice and Blue Toad having a higher-pitched one. They also appear in New Super Luigi U, playing the same role as the second and third players, with Nabbit being an additional fourth player. In New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, both Toads are named Toad, with the yellow version being the default color. The player can play as Blue Toad by holding L or ZL (SL when playing with a single Joy-Con). Both Toads can no longer appear onscreen at the same time. Toadette and Nabbit now serve as additional playable characters.
