Peach pulls out Toad and holds him out in front of her. Upon being hit, Toad will emit a damaging shower of spores. 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%) and knockback regardless of the power of the blocked attack. The spores themselves can be [[absorb]]ed, and the move is in fact the only [[counterattack]] that fires [[projectile]]s when activated; this can be exploited by characters who possess [[Reflection|reflectors]] with damaging hitboxes, such as Mario or Fox, who can hit Peach with their reflectors 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]].
