'''Toad''' ({{ja|キノピオ|Kinopio}}, ''Kinopio'') is a recurring character from the {{uv|Mario}} series.
 
==Origin==
The Toads as a species made their debut in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros.}}'' as [[Princess Peach]]'s assistants, and have appeared in nearly every ''Mario'' game since. They are humanoid characters with mushroom-shaped heads and simple eyes who wear sports vests, white diaper-like pants reaching up to their chests, and brown shoes.


{{Infobox Character General
Toads appear with a wide variety of different colored spots on their cap. The most common Toads feature white caps with red spots and mostly appear in many ''Mario'' games as an NPC. The Toads with the blue or yellow spots are also playable characters. Other Toads sometimes feature caps with an inverted color scheme (e.g. a red cap with white spots, etc.).

In ''Super Mario Bros.'', a single Toad is encountered at the end of the castle levels in World 1 through World 7 after defeating the fake [[Bowser]] where they deliver the famous line "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" Toad made his playable debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (a reskin of the Japan-only game ''{{iw|mariowiki|Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic}}'', then re-released in Japan as ''Super Mario USA'') as one of four playable characters. He has the greatest speed and power but has the lowest jump height, which would return with the playable appearance of a blue Toad in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D World}}''. Toad also appears as a playable character in various ''Mario'' spin-offs and a common NPC in most ''Mario'' games.

He has made many appearences in the mainstream mario games varying from as an npc who provides assistance, to a playable hero as shown in Wario Woods where he defeats [[Wario]] to save the woods from being taken over by the evil antagonist. However lately [[Toadsworth]] has been taking over many of his previous roles for providing help in the main mario games while Toad becomes playable in the various mario spinoff games such as Mario Kart.

[[File:SSBUWebsitePeach3.jpg|thumb|Toad used as Peach's neutral special move.]]
Toad returns and serves as {{SSBU|Peach}}'s neutral special; however, unlike in previous games, Toad actively guards her, rather than be used like a human shield. Toad also attacks alongside Peach during her [[grab]], [[pummel]], and [[throw]]s.  


A {{iw|mariowiki|Blue Toad}} also appears as part of {{SSBU|Daisy}}'s moveset, acting in a similar fashion to Peach's Toad.

The Toad Hat and Toad Outfit returns as a Mii costume for the {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}}s in the base game.

===Toad Rumor===
===Spirits===
It has been rumored that Toad could be unlocked if a player was to hit all the credits after clearing [[Classic Mode]], [[Adventure Mode]], or [[All-Star Mode]]. This rumor was sadly proven false but many fake screenshots were made to trick players into thinking he was real. The Toad used in the screenshot was the one in [[Mushroom Kingdom Adventure]] and in Peach's B button attack.
Toad also appears as three different [[primary spirit]]s. It can also be obtained by scanning the Toad amiibo.  


===Trophy Description===
Toad's Spirit Battle uses a Mii Brawler puppet fighter wearing the Super Mushroom Hat and a blue Toad Outfit and is fought on the [[Princess Peach's Castle]] stage, which is is based on Princess Peach's Castle where Toad serves as Princess Peach's attendant in the ''Super Mario'' series. The music track is based on the theme song of Captain Toad, who serves as the main protagonist of ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''. During the battle, the Mushroom items appear, referencing how the Toads are a race of mushroom-like humanoids. Also, the Mii Brawler favors [[Suplex]], referencing Toad's plucking abilities in his major playable appearances.
''"Toad, [[Peach]]'s longtime servant, first showed off his strength in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', then proved to be an agile driver in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. There are many Toads in Peach's castle and across the Mushroom Kingdom, and although they look similar, they have varied natures. Not the best of guards, Toad must often be rescued."''


* Super Mario Bros.
Captain Toad can be obtained by [[enhanceable spirit|enhancing]] the Toad spirit at level 99.


==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
The Cheep Charger Spirit Battle uses a Peach puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Mario Circuit]] stage. During the battle, Peach favors her grabs and throw moves, which features Toad, who is depicted driving the Cheep Charger. Also, Peach has increased move speed, referencing the Cheep Charger's high acceleration stats.
===In Game===
In the game, Toad is once again Peach's neutral B button move, and is still not a playable character. It was rumored that he was unlockable, but this rumor was proved false.

Toad (キノピオ, Kinopio) is a recurring character from the Mario series.

Origin[edit]

The Toads as a species made their debut in Super Mario Bros. as Princess Peach's assistants, and have appeared in nearly every Mario game since. They are humanoid characters with mushroom-shaped heads and simple eyes who wear sports vests, white diaper-like pants reaching up to their chests, and brown shoes.

Toads appear with a wide variety of different colored spots on their cap. The most common Toads feature white caps with red spots and mostly appear in many Mario games as an NPC. The Toads with the blue or yellow spots are also playable characters. Other Toads sometimes feature caps with an inverted color scheme (e.g. a red cap with white spots, etc.).

In Super Mario Bros., a single Toad is encountered at the end of the castle levels in World 1 through World 7 after defeating the fake Bowser where they deliver the famous line "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" Toad made his playable debut in Super Mario Bros. 2 (a reskin of the Japan-only game Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, then re-released in Japan as Super Mario USA) as one of four playable characters. He has the greatest speed and power but has the lowest jump height, which would return with the playable appearance of a blue Toad in Super Mario 3D World. Toad also appears as a playable character in various Mario spin-offs and a common NPC in most Mario games.

Prominent members of the Toad race include Toadette, a female Toad who mostly appears in the Mario spin-off games; Toadsworth, an old Toad who acts as Princess Peach's attendant; and Captain Toad, a Toad explorer who leads the reoccuring Toad Brigade and helps Mario in his quests in the Mario series.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

Assist role[edit]

Toad serves as Peach's neutral special move which can be used to counter an enemy's attack.

As a background character[edit]

Toad also appears as a background character in the Mushroom Kingdom stage of Adventure Mode.

Toad can be found running back and forth behind the arena with the Yoshi Team and behind the finish line.

In addition to these two roles, a notable rumor had spread about Toad being playable in Melee.
