'''Toad''' is one of the main characters of the | '''Toad''' is one of the main characters of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. He is [[Princess Peach]]'s attendant, a friend of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], and a longtime protector of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Toad usually has the role of being the representative of [[Toad (species)|his species]] in the ''Super Mario'' franchise's spin-off titles alongside [[Toadette]] (ever since her introduction in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''), often being associated with mushrooms and grouped with other Toads. However, he occasionally has been a main protagonist, such as in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', as well as his starring roles in ''[[Wario's Woods]]'' and ''[[Kinopio Live]]''. Toad is actually a singular character among an entire species of look-alikes that share his name (much like [[Yoshi]] and the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi species]]), leading to confusion over some of his appearances. What usually sets him apart from from other Toads are his mismatched spots and vest, and his role as Princess Peach's steward. | ||
Despite similarities with [[Captain Toad]] they are generally not treated as being the same character, with few exceptions such as ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' where Toad's [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] can be enhanced to Captain Toad. | |||

In the prologue to the game, according to the manual, he goes on a picnic along his friends [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. As they head out, the four heroes soon discover a cave that leads to a strange world known as [[Subcon]]. Upon reaching the mythical area, the gang learn that the once peaceful land was taken over by the tyrannical toad, [[Wart]]. Agreeing to stop Wart and bring peace to the land, Toad and his friends immediately set off to defeat the villain and rescue the original inhabitants of Subcon. Toad, Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool eventually defeat the evil tyrant toad after traveling through the mystical land and defeating Wart's army (the [[8 bits]]). Upon Wart's defeat, Toad and his friends then go on to free the [[Subcon (species)|people of Subcon]], thus bringing peace to the land. At the end of the game, however, it is revealed that the events of the game were just a part of Mario's dream. | ||

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Toad is mentioned in the storyline from the instruction booklet as saying goodbye and good luck to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] alongside the princess. While this story is retained in the manual of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4]]'', the in-game opening depicting that scene shows the princess by herself rather than in company of Toad. Instead, Toad is seen serving the [[Kings|king]] of [[Grass Land]] when [[Larry Koopa]] breaks into the [[castle]] at the dead of night during a thunderstorm, Toad tries to fight Larry off to no avail, Larry then nabs the king's wand and turns him into a dog (a [[Cobrat]] in the [[Super Mario All-Stars|SNES version]]) before fleeing, leading Toad to write a letter to Princess Peach asking for help (signed with the name "Toad".) | |||
Toad is also in charge of the [[Toad's House]]s, which let Mario and Luigi take the contents of one of three [[treasure chest|treasure box]]es, containing a power-up, and the [[Spade Panel]]s which allow players to play a scrolling type game, where they must match three parts of either a [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]], [[Fire Flower]], or [[Super Star|Starman]]. Depending on whether or not the player matches the three correctly, and which image formed, two to five extra lives can be gained. [[N-Mark Spade Panel]]s are also run by Toad, and they allow players to play a matching card game, where they can earn lives, power-ups, and a max amount of thirty coins. | |||

In the Satellaview exclusive game ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'', Toad returns as one of the four playable characters alongside Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach. As ''BS Super Mario USA'' serves as a pseudo-sequel to the game ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', the game serves as a continuation to the adventures of Toad and his friends in the land of Subcon. The game's story begins after the events of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' at the scene where the four characters begin to believe that Subcon really did not exist and that their previous adventure was nothing but a dream. However, the four heroes were proven to be wrong when the protagonists were called back to Subcon by [[Ōsama]], the King of Subcon. Upon arriving at Subcon once again, the King informs Toad and his friends about the news of Wart's recent take-over of Subcon once more (having overthrown Ōsama during the process). Hearing the King's pleas, Toad and his three friends once again head out to stop Wart and his army and return the kingdom back to Ōsama's possession. | In the Satellaview exclusive game ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'', Toad returns as one of the four playable characters alongside Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach.

This game marks the appearance of a character very similar to Toad called [[Captain Toad]] who is the captain of the [[Toad Brigade]] and wears a red vest.

Toad is the sole playable character in the tutorial and when the in-game update data is being downloaded.

Toad is the main character of ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', a [[Nintendo]] puzzle game. Within the plot of the game, the antagonist [[Wario]] had taken control over a once quiet forest (renaming it [[Wario's Woods (location)|Wario's Woods]] soon after) and controlled the original peaceful creatures of the woods by brainwashing them with a sinister spell. After gaining complete control over the ''Peaceful Forest'', Wario begins his plans of attacking the Mushroom Kingdom with the help of his various monsters. Meanwhile, Toad (known as the ''Mushroom Kingdom hero'') had been taking a walk in what he thought was Peach's garden but was actually Wario's Woods and soon gets stuck in the forest. After being asked by the forest sprites to save their home, Toad agrees to help them and sets off to stop Wario and his diabolical plans. While in the woods, Toad gets helped by [[Birdo]] and a [[Sprite]]. | Toad is the main character of ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', a [[Nintendo]] puzzle game.

Throughout the adventure, Toad has to stack up the various minions that Wario sends out and he has to use different colored bombs to attempt to destroy them. After matching the colors of his opponents with the correct bomb, Toad manages to defeat his foes and clear a round. Throughout the game, Toad shows different abilities including his superhuman strength from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' which he uses to carry the large monsters and bombs (he can even carry large stacks of them with ease). He also shows the unique ability to run up the walls of the tree hollow each round took place in within this game. While Toad is fighting, the Sprite provides the bombs for him to use while Birdo provides encouragement for Toad to keep going on. However, there are times when Wario appears to cause Toad trouble. He makes his appearance on the screen in Birdo's place by getting rid of Toad's helper temporarily and replacing the Sprite with a [[Pidgit]] who in turn will supply more monsters for Toad instead of bombs. Wario himself occasionally slams into the tree hollow that Toad is in, and causes the [[Thwomp]] engrossing the ceiling to fall lower; thus, limiting Toad's time to defeating Wario's monsters before becoming crushed by the Thwomp. | Throughout the adventure, Toad has to stack up the various minions that Wario sends out and he has to use different colored bombs to attempt to destroy them.

This game also features a green-colored Toad who is only playable in the VS 2P mode. | |||
Along the way, Toad also has to face several other bosses (such as [[Fauster]] and [[Mad]]) who attempt to stop Toad. The SNES version of the game includes more bosses who slow down Toad's chase after Wario. As Toad reaches closer to Wario's hideout, Wario continues to taunt him in the various cutscenes and attempt to discourage the hero from defeating him. Oddly, Wario continues to get larger in size within each cutscene. As Toad finally catches up to Wario, the antagonist challenges him to a battle but is revealed to be a [[fake Wario|fake]]. After defeating the fake Wario, Toad finally meets with the real Wario who had used the opportunity of Toad's delay to making him grow to the biggest size possible to face against Toad. At the end of the game, Toad faces Wario himself and eventually defeats him. After Wario falls to defeat, the antagonist attempts to make himself bigger; however, he instead explodes and returns to his regular size (thus, revealing that Wario had only used an air pump to increase his size the entire time).

Toad appears in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. In the game, he and four other [[Toad (species)|Toads]] (blue, yellow, purple, and green) are researching ghosts in various different mansions by playing the role of Professor E. Gadd's assistants. Once [[King Boo]] shatters the [[Dark Moon]], all the ghosts in [[Evershade Valley]] get hostile and imprison Toad and the others in paintings. It is revealed that Toad was imprisoned in a painting within the [[Haunted Towers]]. | |||
Sometime later, Luigi arrives at the Haunted Towers, and eventually finds the painting of Toad. Using his [[Poltergust 5000]] and flashlight, Luigi was able to rescue Toad out of the painting he was imprisoned in. After being saved, Toad is overjoyed with gratitude and hails Luigi a hero. As the duo continue on to the outer part of the Haunted Towers, they run into [[The Three Sisters]] by accident. Toad becomes frightened and attempts to escape the scene, but his means of an exit through a gate is unfortunately sealed immediately in the scene. Throughout the battle, Toad appears frightened of the surrounding ghosts. | |||
After The Three Sisters have been defeated, Toad continues to accompany Luigi through the area. Luigi is able to pull in Toad with the Poltergust 5000 and able to launch him from the vacuum in certain directions. Upon being launched, Toad is able to make a powerful impact with any object he comes into contact with by the force; as a result, being able to reveal secret areas and items. Toad also reveals his fear of deep bodies of water within the adventure (promptly having Luigi carry him over such bodies of water). After the two find a computer with access to Professor E. Gadd's lab within the Haunted Towers, Toad gives his thanks to Luigi and teleports back to the lab. | |||
In the ending of the game, Toad along with the other Toad assistants teleport to the post-battle scene with the pieces of the [[Dark Moon]] in their arms. Toad himself hands Luigi the central piece upon reaching the group consisting of Luigi, Mario, and Professor E. Gadd. As Luigi and the Toads hold up the pieces of the dark moon to the sky, the pieces shine brightly and form a new Dark Moon. With the moon in place, the previously mind corrupted ghosts revert back to their peaceful ways and celebrate with the heroes. The ghosts even go onward to giving Toad and the other Toads rides on them. In the final scene, Toad joins the Mario Bros., Professor E. Gadd, and several ghosts for a group picture. Within the ending credits, it is revealed the ghosts have truly gone back to their happier states and even reveal to be on friendly terms with Toad and co. | |||
Whenever Toad walks, his footsteps make squeaky sounds. This is a possible reference to the ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' and ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' TV series where Toad always made squeaky sounds when he walked. | |||

Toad (alongside Mario, Princess Peach, Luigi, a blue Toad, and a yellow Toad) visits [[the Last Resort]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', driving the bus for the rest of the group to the location. Upon arriving at the [[Grand Lobby]], the Toads can be seen handling Peach's luggage. When the luggage collapses, and the blue Toad gets stuck between the bags, Toad rushes in to try and pull him out. After everyone has checked in, hotel owner [[Hellen Gravely]] personally escorts them to their rooms on the [[RIP Suites|fifth floor]]. The following night, everybody except Luigi, including Toad, is turned into a painting by King Boo. When Luigi himself narrowly avoids the same fate and meets up with E. Gadd, he asks for the professor's help in rescuing his trapped friends and family. | |||
Later in the game, Luigi reaches [[The Great Stage]] and finds Toad's portrait being guarded by [[Amadeus Wolfgeist]]. After defeating Amadeus, Luigi frees Toad from the painting and brings him to E. Gadd to stay in his lab. However, while Luigi is exploring the upper floors of the hotel, E. Gadd sends Toad to recover [[Super Suction|an upgrade]] for the [[Poltergust G-00]] in the [[Boilerworks]] and loses contact with him. E. Gadd informs Luigi of this when the latter needs the upgrade to progress through [[the Spectral Catch]], so Luigi returns to the Boilerworks to rescue Toad and recover the needed equipment. During the ensuing escort mission, multiple teams of ghosts will attempt to capture Toad. If the lead [[Slinker]] of any given team manages to escape with Toad, the player receives a [[Game Over]]. Luigi manages to return Toad safe and sound to the lab and have the upgrade added to the Poltergust. | |||
Toad remains safe in the lab until after Luigi rescues Mario in the [[Master Suite]], at which point King Boo finds the lab and captures E. Gadd and the Toads. King Boo takes them to the [[Rooftop (Luigi's Mansion 3)|rooftop]], where he tries to trap the entire group in a single painting, only for Luigi to avoid capture once again thanks to the timely intervention of [[Polterpup]]. After Luigi defeats King Boo and the hotel collapses, Luigi frees everyone from the group painting, and the group works together to help the now friendly ghosts build a new hotel where the old one stood. Toad again drives the bus as the group bids E. Gadd and the ghosts farewell as they return home. | |||

While Toads have been sidekicks in previous ''[[Mario Strikers (series)|Mario Strikers]]'' games, the main Toad is the first one to be selectable as a captain in ''[[Mario Strikers: Battle League]]''. His team number is 12. His strongest attributes are his speed and passing attributes; without any gear applied on any characters, he has the highest speed statistic in the game. However, Toad is one of the three characters with the the lowest strenght attribute (the others bein Waluigi and Diddy.) His [[Hyper Strike]], Drill Smash, involves Toad kicking the ball into the air, and four other Toads appearing next to him and tossing him into the air. The playable Toad then headbutts the ball into the ground, where it will burrow underground until it reappears in front of the opposing team's goalie. | |||

He | Toad appears in the ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' as a main character. He is voiced by [[Keegan-Michael Key]] in the English version and [[Tomokazu Seki]] in the Japanese version. Unlike in the games, Toad is shown having teeth, his shoes and clothes are slightly more detailed, he appears to be slightly taller, and he carries a backpack that looks somewhat similar to [[Captain Toad]]'s backpack albeit with more items visible, including pins attached to it that reference the [[Cascade Kingdom]], [[Sand Kingdom]], and [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]] from ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. He also carries a long stick as a staff in some scenes and a frying pan as a weapon in others. | ||
Toad is introduced in the story when Mario, upon arriving in the Mushroom Kingdom, is intrigued by the abundance of mushrooms and reaches out to touch one of them, when suddenly Toad, who was crouched behind the mushroom Mario was about to touch, yells, "''DO '''NOT''' TOUCH THAT MUSHROOM! '''YOU'LL DIIEEEE!!'''''", but then corrects himself with "''...Oh. I'm sorry. That one's perfectly fine.''" Toad properly greets Mario (to a rendition of Captain Toad's theme song), who starts to follow Toad and ask him questions. When Mario mentions the pipe his brother [[Luigi]] was sucked into led to a place with lava, Toad immediately recognizes it as [[Bowser's Kingdom|the Dark Lands]] and decides that [[Princess Peach]] could help him find his brother, so he leads Mario to [[Peach's Castle]]. | |||
[[File:TSMBM Toad Band Banner.png|80px|thumb|left]] | |||
When Mario and Toad are walking through the Mushroom Kingdom town, a banner can be seen in the background which features Toad, [[Toadette]] and a blue Toad playing in a band, with Toad as the batterist. Toad's interest in music comes up again randomly in a few other scenes where Toad appears. Key revealed in an interview that he had improvised a song for Toad during a recording,<ref>TMK.

Upon arriving Peach's Castle, Toad and Mario are denied entrance by two Toad guards. Toad then pulls out a frying pan and makes a meal for the guards as a distraction, which works for Mario to enter the castle, but in turn means he stays behind. | |||
Toad is seen again after Mario manages to convince Princess Peach that he's worthy to join her in the journey to defeat Bowser, he meets the two and vows to protect Peach, who's impressed by his courage and allows him join the journey. Mario, Peach and Toad then traverse through [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], a dock with jumping [[Cheep Cheep]]s, the [[Sand Kingdom]], [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], rock mountains, and an open field of [[Fire Flower]]s, where they camp and Toad is seen playing a flute. | |||
The trio arrive in the [[Donkey Kong Island|Jungle Kingdom]] and are transported to the palace by [[Driver (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)|a Kong]] driving a [[kart]]. At the palace, Peach consults the Kongs' king, [[Cranky Kong]], and asks for his [[Kong army]] to support them in fighting Bowser. He initially refuses to join Peach's cause, but when Mario stands up to him, he agrees to help on the condition that Mario defeats his son [[Donkey Kong]] in a duel at the [[Great Ring of Kong]], which Mario accepts despite Peach's disapproval. During the fight, Toad watches alongside Peach and Cranky and is the only person in the stadium who loudly cheers for Mario. After Mario manages to beat Donkey Kong, Cranky guides the heroes to a garage where they each make their own [[kart]]s; Toad makes a monster truck (resembling the [[Tiny Titan]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''), which is comically too large for its driver. | |||
Mario, Peach, Toad, and the Kong Army take on [[Rainbow Road]] and head to [[Bowser's Castle]]. During this, Donkey Kong teases Mario's flirting of Peach and Toad attempts to defend Mario. Bowser receives prior knowledge of this attempted raid from his [[Koopa General]], prompting Bowser to send out an ambush squad of Koopa Troopas on karts. Toad is attacked by Koopas and has his monster truck kart destroyed, which leads him to nearly fall to his death, before being saved by Peach, to which he says, ''"That is how you princess!"'' The Koopa Troopas also attack and apparently kill Mario and Donkey Kong, and capture Cranky and the Kong army, making Peach and Toad hurry back to the Mushroom Kingdom. | |||

Upon her return, Peach orders her castle staff and all the citizens of the kingdom to evacuate to the forest due to Bowser's imminent invasion, and Toad decides to stay at her side, staying true to his word to defend Peach even in the face of danger. When Bowser finally invades he proposes to Peach but to his dismay she denies; hurt from this, he orders Kamek to torture Toad with magic in order to get Peach to accept the proposal, which works. At the wedding, Toad manages to smuggle an [[Ice Flower]] in Peach's bouquet, helping her overthrow the wedding and trap Bowser in ice. Mario returns with Donkey Kong and all the heroes reunite, including Luigi, now freed from Bowser's keep. In retaliation, Bowser unleashes a [[Bomber Bill]] to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom, but Mario (with a [[Tanooki Suit]]) manages to redirect the bomb to the pipe from which he entered the kingdom, which causes Toad along with everyone else in close surroundings to be sucked into it and teleported to [[Brooklyn]]. | |||
In Brooklyn, Bowser appears before Mario and attacks him, but with the help of his brother and a [[Super Star]], he is able to defeat the Koopa King. Bowser is then shrunken down with a [[Mini Mushroom]], and Toad traps him in a jar. He is last seen being hailed by the Brooklynites, alongside Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Donkey Kong, for the heroism shown during the battle. | |||

During the tour of the Mushroom Kingdom, he hysterically warns the other Toad to move out of the way since "[Luigi] is going to die imminently", only to reassure Mario that he will be fine after he reacted in irritation over what he just said. Mario also tends to be annoyed by his antics, like the aforementioned moment, when he scares him the first time they meet and when he hits him in the arm with his stick to make him realize that he isn't dreaming after ending up in the Mushroom Kingdom. Additionally, as the trio embark on a wild kart ride through the [[Jungle Kingdom]], Toad is shown to be whooping and cheering with excitement, even while nearly being flung out of the kart several times, while Mario and Peach are screaming in terror. Despite this, he is fiercely loyal to Peach, as she brings him along because he vows to protect her and that he fears nothing. Additionally, when Peach orders the Toads to evacuate the Mushroom Kingdom and asks Toad to do the same, he simply reiterates his promise to protect her, to which Peach smiles with understanding and allows him to follow her to face Bowser. | ||

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', despite his diminutive size, Toad is stronger than the Mario Bros., pulling [[Vegetables]] and [[Coin]]s out of the ground faster than any other character. Toad is also a very fast character, having the highest speed of the group as well. These strengths were again seen in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. This is further influenced in the ''Mario Kart'' series, where he is a lightweight character and very often an extremely fast one.

''[[Wario's Woods]]'' gives him the unique ability to walk up walls, but this ability has not been seen since. Toad uses a [[Hammer]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', but this too has not been seen recently. | ||
