In the original story of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', the Toads are shown as a race of mushroom people who live rather peacefully in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] until [[Bowser]] and his minions, the [[Koopa Troop]] appear to take over the kingdom. The related species, the [[Goomba]]s who had once lived in peace with the Toads soon betray them as well, causing more danger for the Toads. The Toads attempt to stop them but fail and many of them are turned to various items such as bricks and pipes via King Bowser using his magic. With [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] being the only person who can reverse the effects of Bowser' magic over the Toads, Bowser soon kidnaps her thus starting the story of the game when the two [[plumber]]s [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] arrive to stop the koopas.

Within the actual game ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' the only mushroom people left in their original forms are featured as Princess Toadstool's Toad advisers, the ''Mushroom Retainers''. They appear in the first seven of the game's eight [[castle]]s. After [[Mario]] destroys the [[False Bowser]] at the end of a fortress, he frees the imprisoned Toad, who infamously informs him that the Princess is in another castle. The Mushroom Retainers reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' with the same role and message. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', there are as many Mushroom Retainers in the castle as the castle's world number (one Toad in World 1-4, two in World 2-4, etc.). In the ''All-Stars'' version of ''The Lost Levels'', Worlds A, B and C have five, six and seven Toads respectively.
