'''Toads''', also known as the '''Mushroom People'''<ref name=SMBstory>''Super Mario Bros.'' English instruction booklet, page 2.</ref> or simply '''Mushrooms''',<ref name=spell>"''Seven Mushrooms who originally served in the court of Princess Toadstool, but are now under the spell of the evil Koopa king.''" - ''Super Mario Bros.'' English instruction booklet, page 14 (Mushroom retainers).</ref> are a peaceful race of mushroom-like, humanoid characters and the dominant species of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Toads reside in many towns and cities throughout the entire kingdom and have a capital named after them called [[Toad Town]]. Most Toads are citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom, and many also work as loyal servants of the kingdom's ruler [[Princess Peach]].

First appearing in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', the Toads have continued to make appearances throughout the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. Typically, they play the role as supporting characters who assist [[Mario]] and/or [[Luigi]] on their adventures. However, several Toads have also played starring roles on some titles, such as being playable heroes alongside Mario and Luigi in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. [[Captain Toad]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' stars in his own title in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', initially released for [[Wii U]] in 2014 and later released for [[Nintendo Switch]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2018.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', the Mushroom People (later known as Toads) live peacefully in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] until [[Bowser|King Bowser]] and his minions, the [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]], appear to take over the kingdom and turn the Mushroom People into various items such as [[? Block|power boost]] [[Brick Block|brick]]s<ref>"''If you come across mushrooms who have been turned into bricks or made invisible, they reward you by giving you a power boost.''" - ''Super Mario Bros.'' English instruction booklet, page 8.</ref> and [[horsetail|horsetail plant]]s. With [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] being the only person who can reverse the effects of Bowser's magic over the Mushroom People, Bowser soon kidnaps her, prompting [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to arrive and stop the Koopa.<ref name=SMBstory/>

[[File:Toadsmb2.jpg|thumb|100px|left|[[Toad]] (the first playable Toad in the ''Mario'' series) from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'']]

''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' is the first game to feature a specific mushroom retainer as a playable character. This character is named [[Toad]], and he continues to appear as a representative for the species in subsequent games of the ''Mario'' series. In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Toad is known for his high strength and speed stats; however, his jumps are considerably lower in comparison to the other characters.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====

<div style="float:right">[[File:SMB3Toad.gif|frame]]</div>

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', there is a Toad in every castle owned by the [[kings]] of the [[Mushroom World]]. When Mario or Luigi enter the castle, the Toad asks them to get the [[magic wand]] back from the [[Koopalings]] to transform the King back to his original form.

Toads are also found in a [[Toad House]] on the map of most worlds (excluding [[Dark Land]] and the [[Warp Zone (Super Mario Bros. 3)|Warp Zone]]). They allow Mario and Luigi get extra lives, [[coin]]s, and items. The Toad Houses let Mario take the contents of one of three [[treasure chest|treasure box]]es, containing a power-up. They also run 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 Toads, and they allow players to play a matching card game, where they can earn lives, power-ups, and a max amount of thirty coins.

A Toad is featured on the key art for the Japan-only [[Timer yukkuri!|green switch card]] for ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

Many Toads are found inside the rooms of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It is implied that these Toads are sealed behind the castle's walls so that they could not escape to seek out help. Upon Mario's arrival to the castle, the imprisoned Toads inform him about [[Bowser]]'s takeover of the castle and give him various hints about the [[Power Star]]s. A number of Toads even manage to hold on to a few Power Stars and later give them to Mario. Two Toads are also seen (alongside Princess Peach) in the ending of the game after Mario defeats Bowser for the final time.  

Although Toads with spots and vests in colors other than red and blue, respectively, had appeared in various earlier spin-off titles, including the two ''Mario'' RPGs in existence at the time, this is the first time the Toads are seen coming in multiple colors in the main ''Super Mario'' series.

[[File:NSMBW Blue Toad and Pink Yoshi Artwork.png|thumb|left|170px|Blue Toad (one of the playable Toads from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'') riding a [[Yoshi (species)|Pink Yoshi]]]]

Toads take on a much more prominent role in ''New Super Mario Bros.''{{'}}s successor, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Additionally, [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue]] and [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. series)|Yellow Toad]] appear in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' as playable characters in the multiplayer modes.  

During the introduction cutscene, two Toads help Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad by firing Propeller Mushrooms and Penguin Suits out of a cannon. In the game, Toads also have to be saved in some levels, indicated by a bubble with a scared Toad in the middle. In single-player mode, the player has to search for the Toads that are imprisoned inside the [[? Block]]s and carry them to the end of the level. If players save a Toad without him being damaged by an enemy, they are rewarded with 3 extra lives. If the Toad is damaged, players are given one extra life. Regardless of the situation, an extra [[Toad House]] opens up after players save a Toad. If playing multiplayer, the Toads do not appear in levels and instead appear inside a locked [[treasure chest|chest]] only within an [[Enemy Course]]. Players have to pop all the [[Toad balloon]]s in the area to make the chest appear, while avoiding or defeating the enemies, which vary depending on the world. Mario is then be rewarded with three [[Super Mushroom]]s.

Toads also appear in the Toad Houses where they host minigames for the players to provide them with opportunities to win extra lives and power-ups. In Princess Peach's Castle, the player has the option to visit Toad and pay him [[Star Coin]]s to watch secret hint videos.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', Toads continue to help Mario on his journey on rescuing Princess Peach from Bowser and his forces. However, the Toads help Mario through a variety of different ways throughout the game.  

In the beginning of the game after Peach is kidnapped, three Toads (red, blue, and yellow) are seen to accompany Mario on his journey to check where Peach is. The yellow Toad then spots a letter, which was written by Bowser, illustrating the kidnapping of Peach. The three Toads then run ahead in front of Mario to attempt to save her.

Toad also appears throughout the game by hosting Toad Houses to assist them, appear at the end of the level when the player catches [[Nabbit|a rabbit]], and appear past the end of level [[Fortress]] to give Mario and co. a power-up if they complete a stage with the last two digits of the [[Time Limit]] being the same. (i.e finishing the stage with 211 time remaining).

All five colored Toads appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', with [[Toad]] (who is now colored blue as a tribute to his appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'') as a playable character once again boasting the highest speed of the playable characters. "Blue" Toad is also capable of using the many power-ups found in the [[Sprixie Kingdom]] such as the new [[Super Bell]] to become [[Cat Mario|Cat Toad]]. Additionally, the red-spotted [[Captain Toad]] (making a reappearance from his debut in the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' games) returns in an updated look while also being playable in his own levels throughout the game.  

In the animated film ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', the mushroom citizens are peaceful inhabitants of the Mushroom Kingdom. They are first briefly mentioned by Luigi when he identifies Mario's [[Brooch]] as a mysical gem pass down in Toad legend that guides the holder to a land of treasure. [[Kinoko Sennin]] elaborates that they lived in peace until [[Bowser|King Koopa]] of the [[Koopa (species)|Turtle Tribe]] arrived and kidnapped Peach. Like in ''Super Mario Bros.'', they are said to have been transformed into various inanimate objects such as [[Brick Block|brick]]s and [[horsetail]]s, except it is added that this is in retaliation for Peach rejecting King Koopa's marriage proposal. Mario and Luigi later save a group of mushroom people that were transformed into [[coin]]s, and later still a lone mushroom person (identified as "Toad 2" in the credits). To thank them, "Toad 1" and "Toad 2" (as they are credited) reward Mario with a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]] and [[Fire Flower|flower]] power-up, respectively.

In the film, all of the voices of the mushroom people are feminine, and they generally use very polite language, the latter of which would generally carry over to subsequent Japanese depictions. "Toad 1" in particularly identifies herself as Princess Peach's maid. Most of these Toads are presented with pinkish/red mushroom caps and had a similar appearance to the later created character Toadette.

[[File:Tag team trouble.JPG|left|thumb|170px|[[Mushroom Referee|A Toad]] claiming Mario's and Luigi's victory in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'']]

Aside from Toad who is featured as a playable character throughout all of the installments and Toadette in some installments, other Toads are sometimes seen as a part of the audience.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Toads are common spectators in many courses; many Toads are also Pit Crew members whose outfits come in many different colors, such as red, blue, yellow, green, pink, and purple.

Toad (Pit Crew) has several color variations, all of which are classified as Super drivers. A variant in yellow uniform, aptly referred to as '''Yellow Toad (Pit Crew)''', was introduced in the [[Toad vs. Toadette Tour]] and has the [[Giant Banana]] as his [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]]. A variant in light-blue uniform, '''Light-blue Toad (Pit Crew)''', was introduced in the [[Penguin Tour]], and he has the [[Ice Flower]] special skill. A variant in red uniform, '''Red Toad (Pit Crew)''', debuted in the [[Battle Tour]] with the [[Fire Flower]] special skill. A variant in green uniform, '''Green Toad (Pit Crew)''', debuted in the [[New Year's Tour (2023)|2023 New Year's Tour]] with the [[Triple Green Shells]]. A variant in pink uniform, '''Pink Toad (Pit Crew)''', debuted in the [[Space Tour (2023)|2023 Space Tour]] with the [[Heart (item)|Heart]] special skill. As evidenced in the game's localized versions, the color designation in the names of these drivers refers to the Toads themselves rather than just the uniforms they sport, indicating they are separate characters from the main Toad character;<ref>For instance, the Italian name of Yellow Toad (Pit Crew) is "Toad giallo (pit stop)", where ''giallo'' ("yellow") is attributed to ''Toad'' instead of the entire ''Toad (pit stop)'' syntagm.</ref> however, all of them use Toad's red-spotted emblem instead of an emblem that reflects their overall color.

[[File:Toad_SMRPG.png|thumb|150px|Artwork of one of the Toads in the game]]

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Toads live in various towns, such as [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Rose Town]] and [[Seaside Town]]. Many Toads are shopkeepers or inn owners. In Rose Town, Mario has to help the Toads, who are paralyzed by [[Bowyer]]'s [[Aero]]s. In Seaside Town, the inhabitants, including many Toads, are imprisoned in a shed by [[Yaridovich]]. A few Toads also appear in remote areas such as [[Monstro Town]] and even inside [[Barrel Volcano]]. Many Toads in this game have different patterns on their hats than normally found on Toads. The inhabitants of [[Rose Town]] have target shapes, [[Hinopio]] in Barrel Volcano has a flame pattern.

''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' is the first game to clearly feature female Toads, before ''Paper Mario'' introduced other female Toads and ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' featured the official debut of Toadette.

Toads appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the main residents of [[Toad Town]]. There is also one in each [[Toad House]] in all towns of the game, except for the one in [[Star Haven]]. According to [[Goombario]], these Toads had been sent to man the Toad Houses by [[Princess Peach]] in order to help the denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom's towns. The Toad inhabitants of [[Dry Dry Outpost]], known as [[Dryite]]s, wear turbans over their mushroom caps. Also, a Toad martial artist, known as [[The Master]], can be fought as an optional boss. The Master's sister, [[Tayce T.]] can also cook items for Mario.

The species reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They live in many of the game's towns and are also owners of almost every shop found in [[Rogueport]] and the surrounding areas. A large group of orange Toads are stranded in the [[Pirate's Grotto]] on [[Keelhaul Key]], along with the [[Pianta]]s [[Francesca]] and [[Frankie]]. Mario has to use [[Admiral Bobbery]]'s [[Bomb (Paper Mario)|Bomb]] ability to help them escape the Pirate's Grotto.

Toads appear in more various areas and help out Mario in a variety of ways. One such case is a group of Toads that act as a ladder for Mario to climb upon so that he could retrieve a missing bridge sticker.  

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Toad appears as Princess Peach's neutral [[Toad (move)|special move]], being held out in front of her and attacking any opponents if he is hit. If he gets attacked, he will release spores. Toad also appears as [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]] which can be unlocked if the players finish the All-Star mode. Toad also appears as Stickers in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and as [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', Toads appear throughout the mansion and save the player's progress when Luigi interacts with them.<ref>''Luigi's Mansion'' instruction manual, page 26.</ref> One Toad followed [[Mario]] in from orders of [[Princess Peach]], where both end up lost. The same Toad is found crying in the [[Foyer (Luigi's Mansion)|Foyer]], and after talking to [[Luigi]] acts as the first save point in the game. The Toads also offer hints to Luigi depending on what part of the story the player has reached. A Toad can be found in the [[Balcony (2F)|second floor balcony]], the [[Washroom (1F)|first floor washroom]], and the [[Courtyard (Luigi's Mansion)|Courtyard]].

Throughout the game, Luigi must locate the Toad assistants by finding the paintings they're trapped in and using the [[Dark-Light Device]] to set them free, then returning them to a [[Pixelator|Pixelator Screen]] in the mansion as the Pixelator from the Bunker cannot pixelate both the Toads and Luigi at once. The Toads will follow Luigi through the mansions, but if left alone, they sit idly, crying until Luigi goes near them. They are used to assist Luigi to get through missions: using the [[Poltergust 5000]], he can latch on a Toad's head with {{button|3ds|R}} to carry him or by firing the Toad from the nozzle with {{button|3ds|L}}, the latter which is used for weighing down platforms or accessing alcoves that Luigi can't reach. The Toads can also retrieve treasure and key items for Luigi if they touch it and retrieve it for him.  

Each Toad has his own fear, and a Toad does not cross an area that he fears so Luigi must carry him with the Poltergust 5000 to circumvent this. As long as Luigi is escorting a Toad, Luigi cannot enter another room unless the Toad is with him. The Toad assistants also panic if ghosts suddenly appear or from sudden noises, frantically running around a room until the source is dealt with or they are flashed with the [[Strobulb]]; they otherwise cheer for Luigi if he is sucking up ghosts. When dealing with [[Sneaker]]s, the ghosts may capture a Toad if Luigi is capturing another ghost; the plumber must use the Power Gauge to grab the Toad from the Sneaker to release him, but sometimes it will let him go on its own.

A trio of Toads appear in ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', where they accompany Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach to the Last Resort hotel. On the bus ride there, driven by Toad, a blue Toad is seen playing with a baseball next to a yellow Toad, who is reading a book, but accidentally drops it. However, like Mario and Peach, they are captured by King Boo and trapped in paintings. After Luigi saves each of them, they wait in Professor E. Gadd's lab for the rest of the game. However, Toad himself is later sent to the Boilerworks by E. Gadd to find an upgrade for the [[Poltergust G-00]], but is attacked by ghosts, prompting Luigi to rescue him again.

The Toads are rescued in this order: The red Toad is rescued first after beating [[Amadeus Wolfgeist]], the blue Toad is rescued second after beating [[Ug]], and the third Toad to be rescued is the yellow Toad, rescued after beating [[Captain Fishook]].

In the [[ScareScraper]], the "Find the Toads!" mission has players find four Toads (red, blue, yellow, and green). To clear the mission, they need to bring all four of them back to the TV safely.

Toads appear at the beginning of the game in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its remake ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' in [[Toad Town]] and at [[Peach's Castle]]. They are seen escaping the castle after Peach is attacked by [[Cackletta]] and [[Fawful]]. Toad himself can be controlled in the beginning to warn Mario and Luigi of Princess Peach's capture. Various Toads give Mario [[mushroom]]s if he assists them with various tasks before he leaves for the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. The [[Starshade Bros.]] patrol the border of the Mushroom Kingdom in [[Stardust Fields]]. Toads also have their own immigrant community called [[Little Fungitown]] in the Beanbean Kingdom.

Toads appear in Princess Peach's Castle in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' giving information to Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi. When the Bros. first arrive at [[Hollijolli Village]] in the past, they see the Toads who were living there being abducted by [[Shroob]]s. The [[Hollijolli Mayor]], who managed to escape detection by hiding (and getting stuck) in his chimney, was quickly captured after being freed by the Mario Bros. In the [[Vim Factory]], the Toads' life force, [[Vim]], is extracted by the Shroobs to be used as fuel for their [[Shroob saucer|saucers]] during their invasion of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]; once the extraction is finished, they slowly become a part of the trees in [[Toadwood Forest]]. Toads with red caps and brown spots inhabit [[Thwomp Volcano]] as extreme climbers. Two Toads at Princess Peach's Castle run a shop called the [[Shroom Shop]] while two Toads named [[Gramma Red and Gramma Green]] run their shop [[Gramma's Place]] at the Toad Town of the past. [[Toadiko]] and [[Toadbert]] both accompany Peach in her tour of the past but, like Peach, both ended up being attacked by the Shroobs. Sometimes, a [[Tanoomba]] or [[Tashrooba]] disguises itself as a Toad (with a raccoon tail added). When the Mario Bros. get close, the Toad turns back into a Tanoomba or Tashrooba.

Toads who escaped the blorbs are also found in Bowser's body after he swallowed them up. They are mostly found in the marketplace-like area in his abdomen called [[Toad Square]].  

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', three Toads (red, blue, and yellow) appear as employees of the [[Mario Toy Company]], which is attacked by Donkey Kong, who steals the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini-Mario]] toys, with the Toads being unable to do anything in the process (although it is not shown what exactly Donkey Kong did to them).  

They later appear after Donkey Kong runs out of Mini-Marios following his defeat in World 6, where they, alongside Mario and some Mini-Marios, laugh at him, which enrages him and forces him to capture the Toads and place them in locked cages on top of a giant building. They are eventually rescued by Mario and decide to help him defeat Donkey Kong. During the battle, the Toads carry the large [[DK Barrel]]s that Donkey Kong had thrown previously back to the stage. Mario and the three Toads succeed in defeating Donkey Kong, who hangs off the building, though the three Toads stomp on his finger and make him fall, celebrating in the process.

Several Toads are captured by [[Bowser]] (along with Mario, Luigi, and even Toad himself) in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. During the game, Princess Peach has to rescue them to enter [[Bowser's Villa 8-6|the final boss battles]]. Three captured Toads can be found in every level, and one is guarded by each world's boss (except in [[Giddy Sky]] and [[Bowser's Villa]], where Luigi and Mario, respectively, are rescued instead); the bosses' captives are replaced by coins when their levels are replayed.

Toads once again form part of the audience and camera crew in both versions of ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games''. In addition to this, in the Wii [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|version]], Toads of various colors will appear on the London Party map and can be spoken to allow the player to play certain minigames.  

In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|version]], yellow, blue, and purple Toads appear as judges and camera operators in [[Long Jump (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for Nintendo 3DS)|Long Jump]], [[Triple Jump (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games)|Triple Jump]], [[Pole Vault (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games)|Pole Vault]] and [[Javelin Throw (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for Nintendo 3DS)|Javelin Throw]], as well as a single yellow Toad appearing as an umpire in [[Table Tennis (Doubles)]]. The Toads also make several appearances in the Story Mode, with several appearing outside [[Big Ben]] and helping set up for the opening ceremony in the opening, who are later scared off by the arrival of the [[Phantasmal Fog]]. A group consisting of a yellow Toad, blue Toad, and purple Toad appear being attacked by [[imposter]]s alongside Peach and [[Blaze the Cat|Blaze]], and following the imposters' defeat follow the group. The yellow Toad spots [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] and [[Amy Rose|Amy]] unconscious and the group goes to see if they are okay. Afterward, the purple Toad later informs the group that he had spotted [[Rouge the Bat|Rouge]] in the area. The Toads and the rest of the girls group later call Mario, Luigi, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] during their confrontation with Bowser and [[Dr. Eggman]]. The Toads also appear in the Girls Bonus episodes, where they help with the preparation of the invitations for the Olympic Games. [[List of badges in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Badges]] of blue, yellow, and purple Toads can also be obtained from the badge machine.

In ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', [[Toad]], along with three other Toad colors can be used; the colors being blue, yellow, and green. The alternate colors can be unlocked by playing as Toad 15, 20, and 25 times. Alternatively, the blue and yellow Toads can also be unlocked by clearing certain Mushroom Cup missions. The green Toad on the other hand is found at certain Star Cup routes. Also, the Toads appear as NPC seen in several courts in the game. The Toads even have a home court for Hockey and Dodgeball at [[Toad Park]].

For the first time since ''Wario's Woods'', a Toad is placed into the starring role in the Wii U title ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''. This title is notably the first game to be named after a Toad within the series. Playing similarly to [[Captain Toad's Adventures]], [[Captain Toad]] explores new areas in search of hidden treasures. Toadette additionally co-stars as a playable character in certain levels throughout the game as well. While both playable Toads are unable to jump due to their heavy backpacks, they are capable of using various tools to take out enemies such as using a [[Super Pickax]] or tossing turnips in a similar fashion to ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. The story revolves around the two Toads exploring box-like levels in a puzzle/platformer-based adventure for treasure while seeking out the giant bird [[Wingo]] that continues to steal the Power Stars from the heroes throughout the game.  

==='' Mario + Rabbids'' series===  

While not in the [[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle|main game]] themselves, a figurine of the five colored Toads can be found in a chest in the [[Ancient Gardens]]. Toad and Toadette also appear as supporting characters.

====''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''====  

The following is a list of [[Quest]]s in which the heroes must save Toads.  

 

Toads appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' as the inhabitants of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Like their game counterparts, they are very timid, believing that they cannot fight back against [[Bowser]] because they are too adorable. Some Toads wear glasses and are elderly.<ref>{{media link|TSMBM poster Peach 2.jpg}}</ref><ref>Illumination (November 29, 2022). [https://youtu.be/TnGl01FkMMo The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Official Trailer]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved March 21, 2023.</ref>

Toads, in general, are very loyal to Princess Peach and the Mushroom Kingdom, but tend to panic in dangerous situations. For example, during [[Bowser]]'s attack on [[Peach's Castle]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', many Toads begin to panic, mindlessly running around in circles and occasionally tripping, only to resume mindlessly running around in circles. Also, during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', in the conference held by Princess Peach, a Toad suggests that the entire kingdom should "panic".  

It is often due to their cowardice that many Toads are relatively non-violent; that notwithstanding, they may fight if it is by all means for self-defense. However, they seem to prefer running away and cowering before their foes. There are other Toads who develop tough natures, such as those who live in [[Rogueport]], or adventurous natures, such as the [[Toad Brigade]].  

Toads are fairly short humanoids with human skin tones. Possessing the appearance of young human children, Toads are among the smaller races of Mushroom Kingdom. They have dark, beady eyes while they also possess stubby feet with an unknown number of toes and typically possess almost no visible legs, although occasionally, some Toads may be depicted with visible legs, including in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''Excitebike: Bun Bun Mario Battle Stadium'', and the Save Data Toad in ''Mario Party'''s village. Their most recognizable trait is their large mushroom caps and small bodies. It is never clarified if the mushroom is a cap or part of their physiology as occasionally Toads have pulled it over their face like a hat. Typically, Toads either have white caps with red, blue, green, yellow, or purple spots. However, some games also introduced Toads with caps of inverse colors such as red, blue, green or pink caps with white spots or light brown caps with dark brown spots (in the case of Toadsworth). Although the Toad species resemble humanoid fungi, they may<ref>''Super Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet, ''Nintendo Comics System'' description, ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' Toad trophy, etc.</ref> or may not<ref name=ToadGender>Corriea, Alexa (November 17, 2014).

Retrieved November 17, 2014.</ref> actually be mushrooms.

Toads generally wear simplistic clothing in the case of males wearing vests that typically reflect off the color of the spots on their mushroom caps; these also reveal a portion of their chest. Some female Toads are shown to also sport vests (such as Toadette); however, they also wear long dresses. Toads also sport tall, white, diaper-like pants (with ridges on the top visible below their open chest) that resemble the base of a mushroom or toadstool stalk, and in the Japanese box art for ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', these pants are low enough to show their belly button. Most Toads also sport common brown-colored footwear. [[Dryite]]s from ''[[Paper Mario]]'' prove that some Toads possess different wardrobes based on the area they come from. These Toads wore tagelmusts and desert clothing while also possessing tanned skin. However, in some games, such as ''Super Princess Peach'', they are depicted wearing red spots and blue vests, making them appear identical to Toad himself. However, some games, such as ''Mario Tennis Aces'' and ''Mario Kart 8'', have made attempts to differentiate the Toads from the playable Toad by making the only Toads with purple/blue/yellow/red/green spots with the matching vests.

===Mushroom caps===  

|caption2=Fire Blue Toad with changed cap colors

All Toads have special mushroom caps on the top of their heads, just like actual [[mushroom]]s. Whether the mushroom cap is a hat or part of Toad physiology was never explicitly revealed in the games and is usually left somewhat ambiguous. However, according to [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]], the director of ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', a Toad's mushroom cap is in fact not a hat but a part of the Toad's head.<ref>Nintendo. (February 5, 2018). [https://youtu.be/EVNYfoFcrZY Super Mario Odyssey Dev. Talk - ft. Mr. Koizumi]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved February 5, 2018.</ref> This is further implied in ''Mario Kart Tour'' where Toad characters who don't wear something on their cap cannot win challenges involving characters wearing hats. ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' and ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' show that the cap is simply a type of hat (or at least that it can be safely removed). When Toad took off his mushroom cap in these cartoons, he revealed his round head with a few strands of hair. ''Paper Mario'' depicts the Toad conductor's hat (which itself is too small to house a mushroom cap) briefly coming off [http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_64/pm/sheet/12752/ revealing] a bald head without a mushroom cap. In ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', a Toad's skeleton is briefly seen when they are shocked, and the cap does not appear to be a part of it. On the other hand, Shinya Hiratake, the director of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', made a reference to Toad caps by mentioning "[[Captain Toad|Captain Toad's]] mushroom head".<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20160911004113/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHivJJYRCA Shinya Hiratake in a Miiverse interview:] "''I always thought Captain Toad's mushroom head looks sort of like a turban, so I tried to give the world a bit of an Arabian Nights theme, which you don't really see a lot of in the Mario series.''" Retrieved July 18, 2017.</ref> Various Toads are also shown to have hair hanging down from underneath their caps, such as [[Toadofsky]] and [[Jolene]].

When Toads are hit, they seem to drop spores (as seen in ''Mario Tennis'' and the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series). Indeed, the [[Toad Minister|Chancellor]] of [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]] claims to have "almost dropped [his] spores" after hearing [[Exor]] crash into [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''.

While most Toads wear white mushroom caps with different colored spots, there are exceptions. Toadette wears a pink-colored mushroom cap with white spots (another example being [[Toadiko]]), and [[Toadsworth]] wears a yellowish-colored mushroom cap with brown spots. Some Toads even have caps that are an inverted version of the regular caps, like [[Toadbert]], who has a blue cap with white spots. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the color of a Toad's cap can change via power-ups such as the [[Fire Flower]], where Fire Yellow Toad's cap turns yellow with red spots, resembling that of a [[Mega Mushroom]], and Fire Blue Toad's turns blue with red spots. Furthermore, some Toads have other shapes on their caps, such as the yellow stars on [[Dr. Toadley]]'s cap; additionally, the [[Excess Express waitress]] and [[Vanna T.]] have hearts on their caps, while the [[Excess Express engineer]] has a much smaller cap without a mushroom shape at all.

While the Toads are often shown to be fleeing at the first sign of danger during the games, some situations prove that the mushroom people are more than capable of protecting themselves during battle. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (the first game that has a Toad as a playable character), Toad is revealed to be even stronger than the Mario brothers themselves and he is also shown to be very speedy as well. The Mario baseball games also prove the strength of the playable mushroom people as they are shown to be considerably powerful, despite their size. The Mario soccer games also have the Toads being able to use powerful head butts as an offensive attack, a trait further emphasized in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' and ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', where they are shown to be quite durable, capable of surviving a throw into walls or breakable objects (often head-first) without sustaining any injuries. Additionally, the Toads are capable of performing a fiery and powerful [[skillshot]] known as the [[Fire Meteor]] in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. In ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', Toad's strongest stat was his speed while his power and technique stats were slightly below average. Additionally, Toad is capable of using his spores to creating a reflective shield as well as gargantuan mushrooms that Toad is capable of controlling to attack opponents for his special move. These attributes are also present for Toad's alternate colorations.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the two playable Toads are shown to have stats that rival Mario and Luigi's own powers and abilities. The Toads are also capable of using the same power-ups (such as the [[Fire Flower]]) that are available to be used by the Mario brothers in order to gain new forms. The Toads are also shown to be skilled in riding [[Yoshis]] in this game as well. In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', the three Toads that help Mario on his journey are shown to be just as capable as Mario himself when it comes to adventuring around the Mushroom Kingdom. They are also shown to be very speedy as they were capable of easily outrunning Mario throughout the game since the introduction. The three Toads and Toad himself are also capable of using various Power-Ups in this game such as the [[Propeller Box]] (which serves the same purpose as [[Propeller Block|the block]] from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'') and the [[Super Leaf]] (to become [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki Toads]] and fly alongside Mario during the ending of the game).  

Initially, the Toads' original names are referred to as mushroom retainers, which can mean that they are a specific group of Toad characters that help guard Princess Peach. They have appeared at the end of each world in ''Super Mario Bros.'', thanking Mario for saving them while informing him that Peach is still missing. Despite this early name, the term "mushroom retainer" has rarely been used since the original NES game, having only recurred in the video game series with the enhanced [[Game Boy Color]] port ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]''. "Mushroom retainer" is intended to be an early localized name for the Toads as a species, along with mushroom people, which has been inserted in the digital manuals of [[Virtual Console]] re-releases. The name and role that goes with it does make an appearance in other early media; for example, the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'' and the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' introductory story "[[The Legend]]" describes [[Toad]] as the royal mushroom retainer. The more reserved [[Wooster]] holds a similar position in the series, but is instead called the "royal mushroom assistant" and (somewhat regretfully) directly serves the [[Mushroom King]] rather than the princess.
