In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Brawl, and Smash 4, Toad (キノピオガード Toad Guard) is Peach's neutral special move. Peach pulls Toad out of 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 absorbed, and the move is in fact the only counterattack that fires projectiles 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 Fox's Reflector or Marth's Counter.

Customization

An icon for denoting incomplete things.

Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:

  1. A variant where Toad immediately releases spores when pulled out.
  2. It is currently unknown what the second variation is.

Origin

The move is unique to the Super Smash Bros. series, but the Toads are Peach's loyal servants in the Mario series, as well as the Mushroom Kingdom's dominant species.
