==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Peach pulls out | Peach pulls Toad out of [[wikipedia:Magic satchel|hammerspace]], and holds him out in front of her. Upon being hit, Toad will emit a damaging shower of spores. Unlike Roy 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 [[absorb]]ed, and the move is in fact the only [[counterattack]] that fires [[projectile]]s when activated. 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]]. | 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]]. | ||

Daisy's version is functionally identical, but uses a blue Toad instead of using Toad himself. 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''. | ||

# '''Toad''': Default. | # '''Toad''': Default. | ||
# '''Sleepy Toad''': The move has marginally increased startup lag, and noticeably increased ending lag. Additionally, while Toad appears to stay out for the same period of time, the actual counter-armour window is shorter. However the move puts grounded opponents to sleep, with the duration increasing with the opponents percent, and this potentially enables earlier KOs by setting Peach up for a smash attack. Deals 3% damage. Doesn't float upwards as high as the default version when used in midair. | # '''Sleepy Toad''': The move has marginally increased startup lag, and noticeably increased ending lag.

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 dropping spores upon being hit was first seen in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Mario Tennis}}'' upon completing a tournament with Toad. | 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 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, if she is played in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Run}}'' and defeat Bowser, she rescues Toad instead of Peach. Blue Toads were the color Toad that supported Daisy on her team in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Mario Stikers Charged}}''. Blue Toads can also be seen piloting Daisy-themed hot-air balloons in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}'', and ''{{s|supermariowiki|Mario Kart 8 Deluxe}}''. | ||
