In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl, Toad (キノピオガード Toad Guard) is Peach's neutral special move. Peach pulls Toad out of hammerspace, and holds him out in front of her. Upon being hit, Toad will emit a damaging shower of spores. Unlike Marth or Ike's Counter which increases in damage when countering stronger attacks, Toad's spores do the same damage (3% each for a total of 18%) and knockback regardless of the power of the blocked attack. The spores themselves can be absorbed, and the move is in fact the only counterattack that fires projectiles when activated.
The move can be bit difficult to use, as there is quite a bit of delay before Peach can block attacks, especially compared to other countering moves like Fox's Reflector or Marth's Counter.
Origin
The move is unique to the Super Smash Bros. series, but the Toads are Peach's loyal servants in the Mario series, as well as the Mushroom Kingdom's dominant species.

Trivia
- Early screenshots of the move sparked rumors that Toad would appear as a playable character.
- Giant Melee, Mega Brawl, and Super Mushrooms all affect Toad's size, though Metal Boxes don't affect his coloring, due to the fact that Toad is a separate model from Peach.
