− | + | Once upon a time, there was a character named '''Toad'''. It was not terribly difficult to spot him, until the release of a game that called the entire species [[Toad (species)|toads]]. Not only did that de-characterize him drastically but brought into question which of his appearances actually counted. Most people limit his first appearance to [[Super Mario Bros. 2]] in which he is a playable, main character - even if it is commonly believed that he was one of the retainers in [[Super Mario Bros.]] | |

− | + | In his first adventure in Sub-Con, in Super Mario Bros. 2, he proves his worth by showing off the strength of his people. His jumping is not quite as good as Mario's, but his strength is nothing to scoff at. Through his adventures he faces his fear of cobrats, a blast right out of his very dreams. | |

− | + | Afterwards, his appearances became infrequent. He received a starring role in [[Wario's Woods]], where he saves the Dark Woods from [[Wario]]. His own adventures were then limited to kart races and tennis matches. He did, however, prove his worth in [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]] by providing Mario with invaluable advice. In fact, he even traversed through Smithy's Factory to provide Mario and his friends with a variety of items. In [[Super Mario 64]] he and other toads provide Mario and his friends with even more advice. | |
− | + | He also appears in [[Luigi's Mansion]], having apparently followed Mario into the mansion. He helps Luigi by telling him things and saving the game. The instruction manual of [[Super Mario Sunshine]] describes the red-capped toad as being Toad... although though his vest is colored wrong. He is described simply as 'Peach's Attendant' and no more. A recently introduced character, [[Toadette]], has become his 'partner' character. It's probably reasonable to assume that there is something between the two, but as usual with the series, there is no canon evidence for anything. | |
− | + | In [[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]], Toad discovers that someone has broken into Truffle Towers and stolen the Music Keys, and recruits Mario to help get them back. Despite the danger, Toad faithfully stays by Mario's side and ferries him around the kingdom in the SS Brass. | |

− | + | In the Mario Party games, Toad initially appeared as the host in [[Mario Party]], [[Mario Party 2]] and [[Mario Party 4]]. He (or another toad) also ran shops in various games. Staring in [[Mario Party 5]], Toad was incorporated as a playable character. Toad was later playable in [[Mario Party 6]] and [[Mario Party 7]], and in [[Mario Party 8]]. Toad also appears in [[Mario Party Advance]], [[Super Mario Fushigi no Korokoro Party]], [[Super Mario Fushigi no Korokoro Party 2]], and [[Mario Party DS]]. | |
