Unlike most other counterattacks, which increase in damage when countering stronger attacks, Toad's spores do the same damage (3% each for a total of 18%, or 3.5% each for a total of 21% in ''Ultimate'') and knockback regardless of the power of the blocked attack. The spores themselves can be [[absorb]]ed, and the move is in fact one of the two only [[counterattack]]s that fires [[projectile]]s when activated, the other being {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}'s [[Scintilla]]; this can be exploited by characters who possess [[Reflection|reflectors]] with damaging hitboxes, such as Mario, Zelda, Fox or Min Min, who can hit Peach with their reflectors' damaging hitboxes in order to trigger her counterattack, causing her to get hit by the spores as a result of the reflectors continuing to remain active after initially hitting Peach. When using this move in midair, Peach will float upwards upon the first use, which can be used to surprise an opponent. | ||
The move can be a bit difficult to use, as there is quite a bit of delay before Peach can block attacks, especially compared to other countering moves like [[Shulk]]'s [[Vision]] or [[Marth]]'s [[Counter]]. | |||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the animation is altered, as Peach now crouches while letting Toad protect her. Daisy's version is functionally identical, but uses a blue Toad instead. In this iteration, the move's startup is much faster, though it no longer stalls Peach in the air as long as it did in ''SSB4''. | |||

The move is unique to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, but the [[Toad]]s are Peach's loyal servants in the [[Mario (universe)|''Mario'' series]], as well as the {{s|supermariowiki|Mushroom Kingdom}}'s dominant species.

Toads appear in a variety of colors, blue included. {{s|supermariowiki|Blue Toad}} is playable in ''{{s|supermariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. Wii}}'', ''{{s|supermariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. U}}'', ''{{s|supermariowiki|New Super Luigi U}}'', | Toads appear in a variety of colors, blue included. {{s|supermariowiki|Blue Toad}} is playable in ''{{s|supermariowiki|New Super Mario Bros.

Wonder}}'', and a separate blue Toad only named Toad is playable in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros 2}}'', ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario 3D World}}'', and ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Maker 2}}''. Toads do not have any known direct affiliation with Daisy outside of her close friendship with Peach, but Toads can be partnered with her in various spin-off games, and if she defeats Bowser in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Run}}'', she rescues Toad instead of Peach. Blue Toads are among the various Toad colors that can be seen piloting Daisy-themed hot-air balloons on N64 Royal Raceway in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}'' and ''{{s|supermariowiki|Mario Kart 8 Deluxe}}'', alongside ones themed after Peach and [[Rosalina]]. | ||
