'''Toad''' ({{ja|キノピオ|Kinopio}}, ''Kinopio'') is a recurring character from the {{uv|Mario}} series.


'''Toad''' is a major character from the [[Mario (universe)|''Mario'' series]].  He is [[Princess Peach]]'s loyal retainer, and usually acts as someone who needs to be rescued, or provides [[Mario]] with hints or items to help him on his adventures. Like many characters in the Mario series, Toad is named after his species of the same name. The toads are the dominant species in the Mushroom Kingdom and also come in various colours, mostly red, blue, green, yellow and purple.
==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.


Toad has made many appearances in the mainstream ''Mario'' games, his role varying from someone who provides assistance, to a playable hero as shown in Wario's Woods where he defeats [[Wario]] to prevent him from taking over the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. However, lately [[Toadsworth]] has been taking over many of his previous roles for providing help in the main ''Mario'' games while Toad has become playable in the various ''Mario'' spinoff games such as ''[[Mario Kart]]''.
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.).


==Character description==
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.
Toad made his debut appearence in [[Super Mario Bros.]] as one of the Mushroom Retainers who needed to be rescued by Mario after being kidnapped by [[Bowser]]. After being saved, Toad appeared no different than any of the other retainers and just provides Mario with the infamous line "Thank You Mario! But Our Princess Is In Another Castle!" However in [[Super Mario Bros. 2]], this specific toad was a playable character. Toad was the fastest of the four characters playable in the game and was also the strongest as well. However, he had the weakest jump out of the characters, so many considered him better for speedruns of the game due to his speed and small jumps. However, the super jump (which could be activated by charging up) in this game could aid Toad to jump further and higher. In [[Super Mario Bros. 3]], Toad was given the role as to running Toad's house. These houses have Toad hosting mini games for Mario to win power ups and extra lives.


In the puzzle game Wario's Woods, Toad was the main protagonist who had to prevent Wario from getting full control of the Mushroom Kingdom by defeating Wario's minions with bombs, which were provided by a fairy named Wanda. [[Birdo]] also made appearances by providing encouragement for Toad. Toad fought Wario by himself in the end of the game and eventually defeated the evil antagonist, allowing the area to be restored back to peace.
Prominent members of the Toad race include {{iw|mariowiki|Toadette}}, a female Toad who mostly appears in the ''Mario'' spin-off games; {{iw|mariowiki|Toadsworth}}, an old Toad who acts as Princess Peach's attendant; and {{iw|mariowiki|Captain Toad}}, a Toad explorer who leads the reoccuring {{iw|mariowiki|Toad Brigade}} and helps Mario in his quests in the ''Mario'' series.


In some of the later games, Toad appeared with more smaller roles that he shared with many other generic members of his species. Toadsworth also appears in some games including [[Super Mario Sunshine]] where he appears to replace Toad's role as a source of help. Toad plays several roles in the Mario RPG games including ''Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars'' where he was a major supporting character and ''Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga'' where he was a playable character for a short time. He also informed [[Mario]] and sometimes [[Luigi]] of the kidnapping of [[Princess Peach]] in some games. A small group of Toads also appear in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' as the Toad Brigade and throughout the game, the Toads attempt to help Mario to look for Power Stars. Toad is often speculated as to being the leader of the Toad Brigade due to his similarities with the leader, both personality and appearance wise. Two similar looking Toads appear in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' as playable characters. In this game, Toad shares the same moves and stats as the Mario Brothers themeselves.
==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
===Assist role===
Toad serves as {{SSBM|Peach}}'s [[Toad (move)|neutral special move]] which can be used to [[counter]] an enemy's attack.


==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
===As a [[background character]]===
[[File:Toad_trophy152.jpg|thumb|left|215px|Toad's Trophy in Melee]]
Toad also appears as a background character in the {{b|Mushroom Kingdom|Adventure Mode}} stage of [[Adventure Mode]].  
===In Game===
In the game Toad is used as [[Peach (SSBM)|Peach's]] Standard Special Move which can be used to counter an enemy's attack. Toad is also seen in the background of the first level of [[Adventure Mode]], running behind the arena with the [[Yoshi (SSBM)|Yoshis]], and again behind the finish line.  


===Toad Rumor===
Toad can be found running back and forth behind the arena with the [[Yoshi Team]] and behind the finish line.
It was once 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 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 Standard Special Move.


===Trophy Description===
In addition to these two roles, [[List of rumors#Unlocking Toad|a notable rumor]] had spread about Toad being playable in ''Melee''.
''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.''

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

==Trivia==
* Out of the Big Eight ''Mario'' characters ([[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], Toad, [[Yoshi]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Wario]] and [[Bowser]]), Toad is the only one of the group to not be playable in any of the ''Smash'' games so far.
*The panicked Toads seen running in the {{b|Mushroom Kingdom|Adventure Mode}} stage in ''Melee'' have the same animation as the one used in [[Toad (move)|Peach's neutral special move]].
*According to the official ''Melee'' poll, Toad was the 4th most wanted character (with 27 votes) from the ''Mario'' series for ''Melee'', right after Bowser (169 votes), Princess Peach (66 votes) and Wario (65 votes). Bowser and Princess Peach appeared in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the latter of which also starred Wario, so, if the developers are indeed simply working down the list, it seems likely that Toad will become playable in the next ''Smash'' game, though this has not been confirmed by Nintendo.
*In an official poll held on ''[[Smabura-Ken]]'' (the game's official Japanese website) regarding characters for a potential sequel, Toad placed ninth with 27 votes. Among video game-original (and therefore eligible for ''Smash'') characters, Toad is currently the highest-voted one who has yet to become a fighter.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult2.html</ref>
*Around the time of Brawl's reveal (When the actual name wasn't even known yet), it was said Wario and Toad were the two most requested characters for the game.  Wario was revealed in the first trailer as playable, but Toad has yet to be playable in a Super Smash Bros. game.

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.

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.

Captain Toad can be obtained by enhancing the Toad spirit at level 99.

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.

Trivia[edit]

  • The panicked Toads seen running in the Mushroom Kingdom stage in Melee have the same animation as the one used in Peach's neutral special move.
  • In an official poll held on Smabura-Ken (the game's official Japanese website) regarding characters for a potential sequel, Toad placed ninth with 27 votes. Among video game-original (and therefore eligible for Smash) characters, Toad is currently the highest-voted one who has yet to become a fighter.[1]
