In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', '''Toad''' ({{ja|キノピオガード|Kinopio Gādo}}, ''Toad Guard'') is [[Peach]]'s [[neutral special move]]. When used, 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. | |||
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 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.

# '''Grumpy Toad''': Toad no longer needs to be hit to use the attack, and will instead fire it regardless, allowing it to be used as a more conventional attack.

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.

Starting with ''Smash 4'', Toad is now metal if Peach is under the metal effect. | ||
