Peach pulls out Toad and holds him out in front of her. Upon being hit, Toad will emit a damaging shower of spores.

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, Zelda 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]]. | 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]]. | ||

# '''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 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.

U Deluxe}}'', 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 were the color of Toad that supported Daisy on her team in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Mario Strikers Charged}}''. Blue Toads are also 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]]. | ||

*Interestingly, Toad is referred to as "he" in Peach's Move List, but is referred to as "it" in Daisy's. The reason for this may be that the main red Toad has developed his own identity, but other colors of Toads are not as significant in the series, and are seen as a species rather than their own character (Daisy's Move List even refers to him as "''a'' Toad" rather than simply "Toad"). | *Interestingly, Toad is referred to as "he" in Peach's Move List, but is referred to as "it" in Daisy's.
