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. He told Mario to find the Magic Wand to turn the Mushroom Kings back to normal. He also assisted you in mini-games.

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

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Toad is an advisor to the Chancellor of the Mushroom Kingdom. He appears throughout the game to offer Mario tutorials on how to accomplish certain tasks.

During the events of the game, He was sent by the Chancellor to pick up Princess Toadstool, who was visiting Mario at Mario's Pad. However, when Toad arrives, no one is to be found. Soon, an object appears in the sky and crashes into Marioâ€™s house. The object was none other than Mario, who had just been ejected from Bowser's Keep by the giant sword Exor. Toad asks Mario to return to the castle to rescue the Princess. However, when Mario arrived, Exor destroys the bridge to the castle, preventing any access by land.

As such, Mario returns to his pad and tells Toad the bad news. Toad decides the pair will have to journey to the Mushroom Kingdom to inform the Chancellor about Bowserâ€™s Keep and Princess Peach. As they are leaving, Toad accidentally bumps into Mario (and does one HP worth of damage). The fungus quickly apologizes and then teaches Mario about items and Timed Hits. Additionally, Toad gives Mario four Mushrooms before they journey into the Goomba-infested Mushroom Wayâ€¦

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.
