In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. 4, Toad (キノピオガード, Toad Guard) is Peach's neutral special move. When used, 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 Roy 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.
Customization

Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:
- Sleepy Toad: A counter that puts the foes to sleep. It knocks away airborne enemies. It can also be performed faster than the default version of the move.
- Grumpy Toad: Toad releases spores immediately upon use, but loses its counterattack effect and deals less damage.
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 do not affect his coloring, due to the fact that Toad is a separate model from Peach.
- This is the only counter move that is not a down special.
- The "Sleepy Toad" name could be a reference to the Star Fox character Slippy Toad, who appears in most of Star Fox Smash Taunts in-game.
