Overview

Toad is a recurring character in the Mario franchise. He is part of an eponymous species, a sapient anthropomorphic and peaceful clan of mushroom-like people, habitants of The Mushroom Kingdom (Location). He is an attendant of Princess Peach (Character), leader of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Toad has appeared in countless Mario franchise titles, being playable within certain titles and a non-playable accompaniment in other ones.

Character

Toad constantly travels onward with the cast, vowing to protect and the entire Mushroom Kingdom. Toad taking commands under his own hands prominently ends in failed attempts, resulting in achieving a handicapped victory during events of the princess's kidnapping.

Despite occasional displays of cowardice, Toad is notable for being one of very few characters who consistently aids Mario and his partners through a variety ways throughout their adventures to help the Mushroom Kingdom and other realms in the Super Mario universe.

As leader of the Mushroom Kingdom advisers, he is positioned closest to the royal command becoming a personal attendant to Princess Peach Toadstool.

Background

NES to SNES

In various games Toad is present as a non-playable supporting character, who gives items to Mario (Character) and friends. For instance, he is present within the original Super Mario Bros. at the end of each castle, except the final one where Princess Peach is being kept. Toad's first gameplay recognition in North America is in Super Mario Bros. 2, the remake.

In Toad's first encounters with adventure, he travels with Mario and co. into Sub-con. Toad proves his age of emulation and worth of initiative by showing off his compelling strength more mightier than other people. He is considered the strength of the four playable character in the game.

In next generation games, Toad has marked his appearance in various Mario series spin-off games. He has a great range of apt speech, demonstrating his host prowess throughout the Mario Party series. Toad has become the staple for prolific speed in the Mario Kart series.

Misconceptions and Confusion

1912007-super_mario_galaxy_toads_toad_brigade_prologue.png

Blue Vested Red Toad in the Toad Brigade

The Red Toads of the Mushroom Kingdom often mingle in areas and define a fine line of misleading identity. The character named Toad is often more than mistaken for other members of The Mushroom Kingdom as their appearances are identical.

Super Mario Bros.

The infamous phrase...

" Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!"

... is shared by all of the Mushroom Retainers and is not identified as the sole user of the phrase.

New Super Mario Bros Wii

Toad is present in Miyamoto's 2010 greeting card featuring characters from NSMBW yet is not featured within Mario's adventuring crew.

In Super Mario Galaxy the Mushroom Brigade feature a headstrong leader Red Toad. His figure head and personality traits are similar to Toad's character, and the distinguishing line is far too canny of a similar tone.
