Toad (キノピオ, Kinopio) is a recurring character from the Mario series. and serves as Princess Peach's assistant. ContentsOrigin[edit]The Toads as a species made their debut in Super Mario Bros. 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 Bowserwhere they deliver the famous line "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" Toad made his playable debut in the Japan-only game Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic (repurposed as Super Mario Bros. 2 for international markets) 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 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 Toadette, a female Toad who mostly appears in the Mario spin-off games; Toadsworth, an old Toad who acts as Princess Peach's attendant; and Captain Toad, a Toad explorer who mostly helps Mario in his quests in the Mario series. In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]Assist role[edit]Toad serves as Peach's neutral special move which can be used to counter an enemy's attack. As a background character[edit]Toad also appears as a background character in the Mushroom Kingdom 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, a notable rumor had spread about Toad being playable in Melee. Trophy[edit]
Toad, Peach's longtime servant, first showed off his strength in Super Mario Bros. 2, then proved to be an agile driver in Super Mario Kart. 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[edit]Toad appears as a playable character in the Super Mario Bros. 2 Masterpiece. Assist role[edit]Toad returns and serves as Peach's neutral special move. Trophy[edit]
One of the servants at Peach's Castle in the Mushroom Kingdom. Toads give off a strong sense of peace. Most feature white heads with red polka dots, but there are other colors as well. 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.

In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]Assist role[edit]Toad returns and serves as Peach's neutral special. As a costume[edit]Toad serves as the basis for the Toad Hat headgear and the Toad Outfit paid DLC costume for the Mii Brawler. Trophies[edit]The Toad trophy appears in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U it is part of the Super Mario Bros. Trophy Box.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]Assist role[edit]Toad returns and serves as 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 throws. A Blue Toad also appears as part of Daisy's moveset, acting in a similar fashion to Peach's Toad. As a costume[edit]The Toad Hat and Toad Outfit for the Mii Brawler returns as part of the base game. Spirits[edit]Toad also appears as three different primary spirits. It can also be obtained by scanning the Toad amiibo. Toad uses a Mii Brawler puppet fighter wearing the Toad Hat and a blue Toad Outfit and is fought on the Princess Peach's Castle stage. During the battle, the Mushroom items appear, referencing how the Toads are a race of mushroom-like humanoids, while the Mii Brawler favors Suplex, referencing Toad's plucking abilities in its major playable appearances. Captain Toad can be obtained by enhancing the Toad spirit at level 99. During the Cheep Charger spirit battle, the Peach puppet fighter favors her grab and throw moves, which features Toad and is fought on the Mario Circuit stage. During the battle, Peach has increased move speed, referencing the Cheep Charger's high acceleration stats. Primary spirits[edit]
