'''Toad''' ({{ja|キノピオ|Kinopio}}, ''Kinopio'') is a recurring character from the {{uv|Mario}} series.

==Origin==
The Toads as a species made their debut in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros.}}'' as [[Princess Peach]]'s assistants, and have appeared in nearly every ''Mario'' game since. They are humanoid characters with mushroom-shaped heads and simple eyes who wear sports vests, white diaper-like pants reaching up to their chests, and brown shoes.

Toads appear with a wide variety of different colored spots on their cap. The most common Toads feature white caps with red spots and mostly appear in many ''Mario'' games as an NPC. The Toads with the blue or yellow spots are also playable characters. Other Toads sometimes feature caps with an inverted color scheme (e.g. a red cap with white spots, etc.).

In ''Super Mario Bros.'', a single Toad is encountered at the end of the castle levels in World 1 through World 7 after defeating the fake [[Bowser]] where they deliver the famous line "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" Toad made his playable debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (a reskin of the Japan-only game ''{{iw|mariowiki|Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic}}'', then re-released in Japan as ''Super Mario USA'') as one of four playable characters. He has the greatest speed and power but has the lowest jump height, which would return with the playable appearance of a blue Toad in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D World}}''. Toad also appears as a playable character in various ''Mario'' spin-offs and a common NPC in most ''Mario'' games.

Prominent members of the Toad race include {{iw|mariowiki|Toadette}}, a female Toad who mostly appears in the ''Mario'' spin-off games; {{iw|mariowiki|Toadsworth}}, an old Toad who acts as Princess Peach's attendant; and {{iw|mariowiki|Captain Toad}}, a Toad explorer who leads the reoccuring {{iw|mariowiki|Toad Brigade}} and helps Mario in his quests in the ''Mario'' series.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
===Assist role===
Toad serves as {{SSBM|Peach}}'s [[Toad (move)|neutral special move]] which can be used to [[counter]] an enemy's attack.

===As a [[background character]]===
Toad also appears as a background character in the {{b|Mushroom Kingdom|Adventure Mode}} stage of [[Adventure Mode]]. 

Toad can be found running back and forth behind the arena with the [[Yoshi Team]] and behind the finish line.

In addition to these two roles, [[List of rumors#Unlocking Toad|a notable rumor]] had spread about Toad being playable in ''Melee''.

===Trophy===

There are many Toads in Peach's castle and across the Mushroom Kingdom, and although they look similar, they have varied natures. Not the best of guards, Toad must often be rescued.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==

Toad's incredible uprooting speed in Super Mario Bros. 2 is unrivaled, adding to the rumor of his superhuman strength...however out of place it might seem.

===As a [[Mii Costume]]===
[[File:DLC Costume Toad Outfit.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Toad Mii Brawler costume in ''SSB4''.]]
Toad serves as the basis for the Toad Hat and Outfit [[Downloadable content (SSB4)|DLC]] [[Mii Costume]] for the {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}s. The Toad set was released alongside the other [[Downloadable_content_(SSB4)#Wave_4|Wave 4]] Mii Fighter costumes on September 30th, 2015.

During the reveal trailer, the Mii Brawler representing Toad is first seen on the [[Mushroom Kingdom U]] stage. The Mii Brawler is next seen collecting a [[Super Mushroom]] on the [[Jungle Hijinxs]] stage. The ending image feature the two Mii Brawlers on the [[Gaur Plain]] stage.

===Trophies===
The Toad trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}}, it is part of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' {{h1|Trophy Box|Super Mario Bros.}}. The Toad + Quacker trophy is exclusive to the Wii U version; it is part of the ''Super Mario Kart'' [[Trophy Box]].
{{Trophy
|name=Toad
|image-3ds=ToadTrophy3DS.png
|image-wiiu=ToadTrophyWiiU.png
|desc-ntsc=A race of charming mushrooms that dwell in the Mushroom Kingdom, they prefer to be called Toads... Come to think of it, that's an odd name. It's not like they're very good jumpers. Captain Toad can't jump at all! What's that? ToadSTOOLS? ...That makes more sense.
|desc-pal=A charming tribe of mushroom people from the Mushroom Kingdom. "Toad" seems like a bit of an odd name for them, though. Like...they may be small, and some are green, but there's nothing really frog-like about them. Captain Toad can't even jump! Oh. Wait. Hold on a sec. "Toadstools"... Nooow it makes sense!

{{Trophy
|name=Toad + Quacker
|image=QuackerTrophyWiiU.png
|desc-ntsc=Though its appearance calls to mind an infant's toy, the Quacker is really a fully functional motorbike with some serious acceleration. That's because its frame is so light, you might expect it to float on water like a swan boat! But that lightness also makes it easy for other karts to push around, so try to stay out of trouble.
|desc-pal=Despite just looking like a child's plaything, the Quacker is a fully-functional motorbike with serious acceleration and a frame so light you'd think it'd be able to float on water like a swan boat! That lightness makes it easy for other karts to push it around, though, so avoid drawing attention to yourself as you slip by your rivals.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===Assist role===
[[File:SSBUWebsitePeach3.jpg|thumb|Toad used as Peach's neutral special move.]]
Toad returns and serves as {{SSBU|Peach}}'s neutral special; however, unlike in previous games, Toad actively guards her, rather than be used like a human shield. Toad also attacks alongside Peach during her [[grab]], [[pummel]], and [[throw]]s. 

A {{iw|mariowiki|Blue Toad}} also appears as part of {{SSBU|Daisy}}'s moveset, acting in a similar fashion to Peach's Toad.
{{clr}}

===As a Mii Costume===
[[File:Toad Mii SSBU.png|thumb|Toad outfit for Mii Brawler.]]
The Toad Hat and Toad Outfit returns as a Mii costume for the {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}}s in the base game.
{{clrl}}

===Spirits===
Toad also appears as three different [[primary spirit]]s. It can also be obtained by scanning the Toad amiibo. 

Toad's Spirit Battle uses a Mii Brawler puppet fighter wearing the Super Mushroom Hat and a blue Toad Outfit and is fought on the [[Princess Peach's Castle]] stage, which is is based on Princess Peach's Castle where Toad serves as Princess Peach's attendant in the ''Super Mario'' series. The music track is based on the theme song of Captain Toad, who serves as the main protagonist of ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''. During the battle, the Mushroom items appear, referencing how the Toads are a race of mushroom-like humanoids. Also, the Mii Brawler favors [[Suplex]], referencing Toad's plucking abilities in his major playable appearances.

Captain Toad can be obtained by [[enhanceable spirit|enhancing]] the Toad spirit at level 99.

The Cheep Charger Spirit Battle uses a Peach puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Mario Circuit]] stage. During the battle, Peach favors her grabs and throw moves, which features Toad, who is depicted driving the Cheep Charger. Also, Peach has increased move speed, referencing the Cheep Charger's high acceleration stats.

==Trivia==
*The panicked Toads seen running in the {{b|Mushroom Kingdom|Adventure Mode}} stage in ''Melee'' have the same animation as the one used in [[Toad (move)|Peach's neutral special move]].
*In an official poll held on ''[[Smabura-Ken]]'' (the game's official Japanese website) regarding characters for a potential sequel, Toad placed ninth with 27 votes. Among video game-original (and therefore eligible for ''Smash'') characters, Toad is currently the highest-voted one who has yet to become a fighter.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult2.html</ref>
*Toad's ''Brawl'' Trophy mentions ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' as his post-debut appearance, and ironically, that is the only Mario Kart game where Toad is a secret character, let alone unlockable.
