Toadette: Difference between revisions

'''Toadette''' is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] character who was originally introduced as a playable racing partner for [[Toad]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' Toadette has since then appeared in other games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], most commonly as either a playable or a supporting character. Toadette is the most commonly recurring female Toad in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. Toadette has been shown to be on good terms with such characters as [[Princess Peach]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], Toad, [[Toadsworth]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], and [[Mario]]. Toadette's defining traits are her bouncing pigtails, cheerful and energetic personality, and occasional bursts of creativity.

Toadette, along with the other characters, returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', an enhanced port of ''Mario Kart 8'' for [[Nintendo Switch]]. She is now available from the start and shares stats with only Wendy and Isabelle. She is also the 200cc Staff Ghost for {{classic-link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}}. [[Peachette]], a powered-up version of Toadette, also appears as a playable character as part of Wave 6 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. As such, Toadette won't appear as a CPU if Peachette is present in the race, although both appear in the {{media link|MK8DXThankYouEndScreen.jpg|photo}} which appears at the end of the credits for the ''Booster Course Pass''.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Toadette appears whenever [[Mario]] discovers a new [[hammer]] upgrade or a new pair of [[Boots]]. Toadette hosts a tutorial session with Mario and explains how to use the new ability (a role similar to [[Toad]]'s in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''), and whenever Mario uses a new item on the first try correctly, she blushes. During her last tutorial with Mario, Toadette runs off in tears of emotions, knowing she will not see him for the rest of the adventure. After [[Punio]] returns to [[Boggly Woods]], Toadette leaves a message on the notice board in [[Rogueport]] wondering where he went. If Mario attempts to fix the [[Happy Lucky Lottery]] and is caught, [[Lucky]] mentions that he had to tell Toadette she will not be able to play. He also claims that this caused her to "burst into tears".

Toadette appears as one of the playable characters in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. In this game, Toadette plays identically as the other characters besides the Yoshis and Nabbit. At the start of the game, Toadette, alongside others, is invited to the [[Flower Kingdom]]. Daisy prevents her from falling over after Bowser uses a [[Wonder Flower]] to become [[Castle Bowser]].<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=August 31, 2023|url=www.youtube.com/live/G0m_uNaSres|title=Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct 8.31.2023|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 31, 2023}}</ref> Toadette later celebrates with the others when Castle Bowser is defeated and the kingdom is saved.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Toadette appears in her ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' appearance as a master [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], encountered in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]]. In her spirit battle, the player has to defeat a female [[Villager]] and a [[Mii Brawler]] in a Toad hat and vest on the [[smashwiki:Battlefield form|Battlefield form]] of [[The Great Cave Offensive]]. Once the battle is won, Toadette will host the Ruins, one of the locations in the Explore activity, where spirits can embark on a two-hour expedition searching for treasure. After each expedition, the player is often rewarded with Spirit Points.

In the [[Nintendo Switch]] exclusive DLC [[Special Episode]], Toadette hunts for the [[Shiny Crown|Shiny Crowns]] and [[Super Crown]] alongside Captain Toad. Unlike other chapters, Toadette can only be played as in multiplayer. As the chapter progresses, Toadette shows less interest in the common Shiny Crowns than Captain Toad, as she is really looking for the Super Crown, which is located on the 30th floor of the [[Chaos in the Grand Labyrinth|Grand Labyrinth]]. Once the last stage is completed, Chapter 1's ending sequence then plays, but the Super Crown hangs on a corner of the mine cart.

Toadette briefly appears in the [[Super Nintendo World]] theme park area's trailer, standing on [[Peach's Castle]]'s balcony with Peach.<ref>{{cite|author=ProsafiaGaming|date=January 13, 2020|url=youtu.be/zUNsj5SBDJo|title=Super Nintendo World - Cinematic Trailer + Mario Kart Ride (Born to Play - Universal Studios)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=January 8, 2021}}</ref> In the theme park itself, Toadette greets tourists in the [[Super Nintendo World#Yoshi's Adventure|Yoshi's Adventure]] attraction.<ref>{{cite|author=Universal Parks News Today|date=February 3, 2021|url=youtu.be/s_EAcuzv73w|title=Yoshi's Adventure FULL RIDE & Queue Tour - Super Nintendo World|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=April 4, 2024}}</ref>

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Toadette is introduced as Toad's partner, which has been continued throughout the spin-off games. According to the official guides from [[Prima Games|Prima]] for ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', [[Toad]] and Toadette are siblings.<ref>{{cite|quote=Toad's sister, Toadette, hasn't been seen before.

In the introduction of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', both Toads can be seen sitting beside each other in a grassy plain while watching the shooting stars. Their team name in ''Mario Party 6'' indicates that, being the only two playable Toads, they are good friends. Regardless, the two are on good terms, including sharing good chemistry in the baseball games. It is revealed in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' that Toad built her a special table by himself (for her music recital), which was later given to her by Peach. However, they are not romantically involved, according to an interview with [[Koichi Hayashida]].<ref>{{cite|author=Corriea, A.
