Toad is a recurring character from the Mario games, and serves as Princess Peach's assistant. He plays a sidekick role for the Mario Bros. in the games, often assisting them in a variety of ways on their adventure. He has yet to make a playable role in the Super Smash Bros. games. However, he does make several cameo appearances throughout its installments.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
In Game
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Toad is used as Peach's neutral 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 Yoshis, and again behind the finish line.
A notable rumor had spread about Toad being playable in Melee.
Trophy Description
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.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
In Game
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Toad is once again Peach's neutral special move.
Toad is technically playable within the unlockable Masterpiece, Super Mario Bros. 2, but first the player has to make Peach lose all her lives in it before time runs out.
Trophy Description
One of the servants at Peach's Castle in the Mushroom Kingdom. Toads give off a strong sense of peace. Most feature white heads with red polka dots, but there are other colors as well. Toad's incredible uprooting speed in Super Mario Bros. 2 is unrivaled, adding to the rumor of his superhuman strength... however out of place it might seem.
: Super Mario Bros.
: Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Stickers
Toad also has quite a few stickers (three in total) in the game which are mainly usable by the Mario characters.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
Toad is once again Peach's neutral special, and once again has a trophy.
Trophy description
NA: A race of charming mushrooms that dwell in the Mushroom Kingdom, they prefer to be called Toads... Come to think of it, that's an odd name. It's not like they're very good jumpers. Captain Toad can't jump at all! What's that? ToadSTOOLS? ...That makes more sense.
PAL: A charming tribe of mushroom people from the Mushroom Kingdom. "Toad" seems like a bit of an odd name for them, though. Like...they may be small, and some are green, but there's nothing really frog-like about them. Captain Toad can't even jump! Oh. Wait. Hold on a sec. "Toadstools"...Nooow it makes sense!
Trivia
- There was an infamous rumor that claimed Toad could be unlocked in Melee; however, it was proven false.
- 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.
