Talk:Toad

From the article: Toad also appeared in Super Mario 64/DS, giving Mario & company tips for findig secret stages, like the one in the mirror room and sometimes giving stars too.
 * Are the Toads in Super Mario 64 the Toad. I was under the impression that they were all generic Toads working in the castle. --Son of Suns 21:20, 21 June 2006 (EDT)
 * Especially since two toads appear at the end beside Peach, you have a point. -Wayoshi 21:26, 21 June 2006 (EDT)
 * And I think in the second floor hallway there are two Toads...if you move the camera, you can see both of them on the screen. --Son of Suns 21:34, 21 June 2006 (EDT)

Yes you can..... H K

Soccer Look
Could someone that has Super Mario Strikers please put a picture up of Toad in it.
 * Only Toads (the species) appear in Super Mario Strikers, as sidekicks. Toad does not appear. Cobold 09:52, 10 February 2007 (EST)

Is Toad princess Peach's brother?
I thought Toad was peach's brother in the super mario bros super show. This could be truth, because in the multiplayer mode of mario party 5 a special group name appears if two players cooperate. Peach and Toad get the group name "ROYAL FAMILY"!!! and peach has a toad-like grandma in Mario RPG (snes). shocking???

.... When you pair-up Luigi and Yoshi in Mario Party 5, it calls them the Green Bros., that doesn't mean there family. Also, please use the forum for comments like that. -- Sir Grodus
 * I'm watching the show, but I haven't come across evidence for that yet. I think he's just her hired protector who became a close friend in that show.  He's very dedicated, though.  15:05, 29 December 2007 (EST)

SMS
In Super Mario Sunshine, the instruction book labels the red-capped Toad as "Toad" shuold this be mentioned. - Ultimatetoad 18:05, 8 March 2007 (EST)

Hello? - Ultimatetoad 18:57, 8 March 2007 (EST)

Indeed it does. Maybe it is THE Toad, but I'm not 100% sure. 20:25, 9 March 2007 (EST)

Well, I almost am. The Toad looks like him, and is called him. I see no need for further evidence. - Ultimatetoad
 * The Toad labelled as "Toad" in the Sunshine Manual has a red mushroom cap and red clothing, while regularly Toad wears blue. The Toads in Sunshine behave really childish (talk to them in the first scene of the game), so I think it is a mistake in the manual. - Cobold

I always thought Toad WAS chiildish. - Ultimatetoad

Toad is the label for all the Toads. It doesn't mean it's the Toad. The manual even says in the story, "Mario, Peach, and an entourage of Toads have come to Isle Delfino". It doesn't say Toad came, Toads came. Also note that it labels the Pianta and the Noki "Pianta" and "Noki". It says in in the singular, even though there is more than one of each. The "Toad" label just means a Toad. -- Son of Suns

I just noticed something. In the intro of Mario Superstar Baseball, the same red Toad congratulates Mario along with Peach, Daisy, and Yoshi on his victory against Wario. -- Klaus Kratchet

Mushroom Retainer
According to the Mushroom Retainer article, SMRPG proves that Toad is one of the Mushroom Retainers. This would prove that he WAS in SMB and LL, If anyone has the game and can prove the articles statement, please tell me. I'm trying to end all these accursed continuity problems.Plllleeeeaseee tell me soon. - Ultimatetoad

hello? - Ultimatetoad

I always thought the Toad rescued before Princess Toadstool in Super Mario Bros. was Toad, but I dunno. The Toad first met in Luigi's Mansion is Toad, I'm practically sure of it. Yes, he is one of the eight Mushroom Retainers in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. -- Sir Grodus

The Mushroom retainers could change, meaning Toad got a different Toad's position. -- Son of Suns

Yes, but THAT seems even more far-fetched than saying he is a Mushroom Retainer. - Ultimatetoad


 * How so? Toad wasn't a character until Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA). -- Son of Suns

Hmmmm..... well, since there no proof, I'll put it in the generic appearences section. Also SoS, most continunuity problems are now solved; only Luigi's Mansion left. - Ultimatetoad

First Quote
I don't get why you oppose the SMB quote, Ultimatetoad. That's classic. 17:20, 29 March 2007 (EDT)


 * I think it's because Toad never said it. Generic Mushroom Retainers did. -- Son of Suns

Yeah... I like the quote....it's my sig..... but it's not Toad's. - Ultimatetoad

I kinda like the SMRPG quote. Why was it removed? - Cobold

Is Toad in Super Mario Sunshine?
I have the manual, and it says that the red toad is Peach's attendant. Klaus Kratchet


 * All the Toads are her attendants. See the previous SMS section. -- Son of Suns

Is Toad in Mario Pinball Land?
Since there are two pictures of him at the bottom, could somebody write about it in the biography section? I never played it or know anybody who has it.

SPM
Is it Toad in SPM or just a generic Toad? I just want to be clear on this.... - Ultimatetoad

Luigi refers to him as Toad, so yes. -- Sir Grodus

Cool. Now I am more willing to let one other section go if needed.... - Ultimatetoad

Follow Toad
I'm beggining to think this is just Toad, is he actually refered to as "Follow Toad" or anything else? I haven't played the game in a while. -- Sir Grodus

Well, I don't have the game, but It looks like it to me. Will someone who has the game please answer? - Ultimatetoad


 * I have the game, and I'm near-positive he's never named. Considering that he's so close to Toadette and everything, and that he looks just like Toad, I think it's meant to be assumed that he is plain ol' Toad. --YellowYoshi398 10:10, 2 April 2007 (EDT)

Sooo... merge? - Ultimatetoad


 * Yeah. He's pretty much definitely Toad.

I don't think he's THE Toad, just a generic Toad. Don't hate me if I'm wrong, but there's no source confirming that the Follow Toad is THE Toad. Considering his role is very similiar to the Toad in Mario Party 2, I'm not sure. If the Toad in MP2 was THE Toad, it may prove that this Toad is THE Toad. Don't know where the name Follow Toad popped up either. Confused


 * To my knowledge, it doesn't say "Follow Toad" anywhere in the game, so I added the conjecture template. I do think that since they're so similar in their actions and role in the game, this Toad could be THE Toad. 23:52, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

Sooooo.... a vote? - Ultimatetoad

I think it's Toad.

Comments
He's never reffered to as "Follow Toad", he looks like Toad, theres nothing contradicting the fact that he's probably just Toad, who has hosted previous Mario Parties. -- Sir Grodus

Oh, the way the article worded it, it made him sound like an important host.----

Like Toad.

Okay this vote is unopposed should someone merge it? Great Gonzo

OK, I did.

Toad's Relationships To Other Characters
Something interesting I've noticed is that the team names in Mario Party 6 are used as evidence for character relationships for other character pairings, but interestingly, mentions of such evidence for Toad's (and Yoshi's, coincidentally) relationships aren't mentioned. Is there some reason that I'm not getting for this exclusion, or is it just that no one has added it yet? Dinosaur bob 12:09, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

No ones added it yet..... I don't have Mario Party 6, or I would have... - Ultimatetoad

Hotel Mario
I've been thinking about adding Hotel Mario information in the biography section, but I'm not too sure if the Toad that appear in that game is THE Toad or simply a generic ones. What are your ideas, guys? Gofer

I don't know- never played the game! Mostly what I came in here to comment on was that I can't believe there was no mention of how Super Mario Bros. 2 portrays the shroom-dude as stronger than Mario or Luigi, judging by how quickly he can pull things out of the ground, before I just added it! 20:40, 1 July 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, I saw footage, thats not Toad, that not even a Mushroom Person, its just an oddly named 1-Up. -- Sir Grodus
 * Really? So, he msut still count since he he is named Toad in the "inclosed instruction book."... do it?

Gofer

The SM64 conundrum
Yes, I'm bringing this up again. In SM64DS, The Toads are a species (2 appear at once.) but in SM64, only one appears at one time. The instruction book says that Toad and Princess Peach were missing, but maybe he just meant he couldnt see Toad right away... like, when he moved to the left and searched along the wall, he found him? Thoughts? - Ultimatetoad

They're still a species in SM64, since two appear aside Princess Peach at the end. 16:19, 21 July 2007 (EDT)

Ummm.... so what should I put in that section? - Ultimatetoad

In both games Toads are species. However, the main Toad was the one found near the door to the castle (which is probably the first Toad you'll see). However, the main Toad's role in the game is somewhat unimportant since all he does is tell Mario of Peach's kidnapping (doesn't even give Mario a free Power Star like the other Toads). Although I'm not sure about this part, Toad MAY have been standing alongside Peach at the end. Hopefully, that covers your question. 14:04, 25 July 2007 (EDT)

O.k..... - Ultimatetoad

Magician?
So... is there any particular reason Toad is in the "Magicians" category? I can't remember him ever using anything that could be called "magic"--a whole lot of throwing stuff and giving out items, but no magic. The descriptions of his abilities in the article don't seem to mention magic either. So is there some obscure thing I'm missing, or should Toad be taken out of that category? Wario&#39;sFalconPAUNCH! 23:12, 16 September 2007 (EDT)
 * In the The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Toad used a Magic Wand. He was not very good at it, but he still managed to use the magic.
 * Oh, okay. Thanks for clearing that one up. Wario&#39;sFalconPAUNCH! 00:00, 17 September 2007 (EDT)

Apperance in Mario Galaxy
Prevoucly on the article it had said that toad was in galaxy but it has been taken down how ever one of the guards was toad I beileve and there should be a mention of him I dont know but this should be brought up Partytoad
 * People! Just because a Toad has red color doesn't mean it's the Toad in the article. The "Toad" the article is about appears in the intro, that's it. I think the section should be removed. Toadette 4evur 17:08, 29 January 2008 (EST)

...
O.kay, Son of Sons, Pokemon DP, you have removed useful info. Sure, the whole Toad/Toadette thing is kind of iffy, but it's still obvious that they have SOME kind of relationship. It's..... how should I say this... important speculation. And DP, sure that list of where Toad may have been was speculative, I realize that now, but is it not still true that Toad's name may be confused with that of the species? Did you really have to remove the whole section? - Ultimatetoad
