In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', '''Toad''' is [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s [[neutral special move]]. Peach pulls Toad out of [[wikipedia:Magic satchel|hammerspace]], and holds him out in front of her. Upon being hit, Toad will emit a shower of spores to do damage. Unlike Marth 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 incoming move. The spores themselves can be [[absorb]]ed, and the move is in fact the only counterattack that fires [[projectile]]s when activated.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl, Toad is Peach's neutral special move. 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 Marth 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 counter/reflecting moves like Fox's Reflector or Marth's Counter.

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.
