Toad in the Desert

Toad in the Desert is a jolly Toad composer who lives in Dry Dry Outpost. He is good at writing music, but not so good at writing the Lyrics. Later in the events of Chapter 3 in the game, Master Poet has attempted to write the Lyrics for Chanterelle to make her sing again after Princess Peach is kidnapped by Bowser. When he is done, he realized that he needs a composer to write the song with music keys. Master Poet begs to Mario to find the composer in the Mushroom Kingdom as he gives the Lyrics to him. When Mario gives the item to Toad of the Desert, he was strongly amazed by Master Poet’s work; he attempted to write in music keys which turned the Lyrics, into an item; the Melody. He warned to Mario that this song Toad of the Desert made is only for an expert to sing; as of all, only Chanterelle can only sing the Melody to recover her voice.

Trivia

 * Toad in the Desert may have been inspired by Toadofsky from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. The two are vaguely similar, being Toad composers with similar hairstyles that both were unable to write music at the time Mario found them.
