Banktoad

Banktoad is a green Toad from Super Mario Galaxy, who is a member of the Toad Brigade. He has a great love for treasure and can often be found in many different galaxies where he can usually be seen digging for coins.

Super Mario Sunshine
Banktoad first appeared in Super Mario Sunshine, where he is one of the five young Toads that accompany Mario, Princess Peach, and Toadsworth on their vacation to Isle Delfino. Upon arrival, the group finds the island a mess. Soon after, the villain Shadow Mario appears and kidnaps Peach. This causes the Toads extreme sadness and worry. The Toads provide no help, as they spend most of their time in Delfino Plaza. After finishing the game and saving Peach, Banktoad and the others finally enjoy their vacation.

Super Mario Galaxy
In Super Mario Galaxy, Banktoad and the other four Toads from the previous game have formed the Toad Brigade. During the Star Festival, Bowser attacks the Mushroom Kingdom and kidnaps Peach, with Luigi and the Toad Brigade getting abducted into space as well, luckily Mario finds the Toad Brigade in the Honeyhive Galaxy and brings them to the Comet Observatory where they, along with the Lumas construct Starshroom spaceships which they use to travel across the universe in order to help Mario find the Power Stars. Banktoad can often be found in certain galaxies where he can usually be seen exploring, digging for coins utilising his pickaxe or helping Mario on his quest.

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Banktoad appears again in Super Mario Galaxy 2. This time, he will save some of Mario's Star Bits and is named as Banktoad. His appearance also changes, depending on how many Star Bits Mario gives to him. He can only hold up to 9999 Star Bits, however.


 * 0-999 Star Bits: Banktoad holds a silver star bit with both his hands. "Thanks for using your local banktoad!"
 * 1000-1999: He wears glasses with his hands empty. "Nice glasses, huh? I think they make me look like I'm good at math! Heh!"
 * 2000-3999: He begins carrying a round shield with the image of a crown on the front and a spear nearly twice as tall as himself. "I thought someone was after my [star bits], so I started carrying a spear to look tough. But it's so...heavy!"
 * 4000-5999: Banktoad slings a pickax over his left shoulder. "I'm digging everywhere looking for [star bits]! ...But I haven't found any treasure."
 * 6000-7999: He puts on goggles and a snorkel. "I decided to continue my search for Star Bits with a trip to the southern seas! So don't call it a vacation...grumble grumble."
 * 8000-9998: Lastly, Banktoad attaches the flashlight part of a miner's helmet to a strap he places around his head. "I went looking for [star bits] in a cave! But I wasn't on a pleasure trip like our so-called captain! Don't tell him I said that."
 * 9999: Banktoad remains in his miner outfit. "Ubelievable! So many [star bits]! I can't even hold on to any more for you... What to do..."

Trivia

 * Like Mailtoad, Banktoad wasn't given a name or a real occupation until a Super Mario Galaxy game. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, he was finally given the name Banktoad.
