I'm just a dandy ol' mushroom and a slave of Princess Peach. Smiling on the outside... and eternally DEAD on the inside. |
” | —Toad in Super Mario 64: Meet the Toad |
Toad #232563465 (commonly referred as Toad) is one of the three classic tritagonists (alongside Peach Toadstool and Bowser) in the SMG4 series.
He is a sarcastic, immature, and possibly depressed servant of Princess Peach. Toad is also quite stubborn and is lots of trouble, especially when Mario or Toadette are involved. He resided in Princess Peach's Castle, living there with Peach and SMG4. Alongside Luigi, he is often the victim of Mario and SMG4's antics and misadventures; he is sometimes subjugated by Peach. This causes him to be antagonistic at times since he despises almost everyone around him, including Mario, who he considers to be an idiot. He has an abusive relationship with Toadette as when the two are seen together, they are almost always seen fighting or arguing with one another, with Toadette normally being the abuser.
Appearance
Toad is a very small Toad with fair skin, black eyes, chubby cheeks, a mouth that usually smiles, tiny arms, and stubby feet. His mushroom cap is white with five red spots. Toad also wears a blue vest with yellow lining, although the lining wasn't originally shown. He has white pants and brown shoes.
Personality
Prior to SMG4's arrival in the SMG4 Universe, Toad was humble and innocent. After being zapped by SMG4's Guardian Pod, he became idiotic but regained some sanity after SMG4 made a meme featuring him. Toad became a grouchy and hateful, albeit snarky Toad who loathed Mario and despised his life in Peach's Castle, often attempting to destroy it at any opportunity.
Sometimes, Toad was an insufferably obsessed fan of Mario, being annoying to the point that even Mario himself despised him to the point where he tried to murder him. He was overjoyed when Mario was captured by SMG3 and taken to the Kushroom Mingdom though, still showing his dislike for the plumber.
More recently, the extent of Toad's life has shown him as an absolutely miserable person, after ten years of putting up with Mario's stupidity and processing the increasingly r*tarded state of the Mushroom Kingdom have rendered him a hateful and angry individual—not to mention that Princess Peach apparently uses her Toad Retainers for humiliating and disgusting tasks in everyday life (including sponges, nightstands, and ladders). According to him, the only thing that makes him happy is seeing Mario and any other person he hates suffering.
As a form of relaxation, he began hoarding a massive stash of candy in the Metal Cap level; upon eating it, he gets a sugar rush and begins acting incredibly stupid and hyperactive, much to everyone else's annoyance. Toad is also extremely lazy; most notably in 2018 videos such as SMG4: The Mario Purge (Halloween 2018) or SMG4: Mario's Late!, he's always seen slumping on the couch, sometimes with his phone.
Toad is an incredibly greedy person. In Super Mario 64 Bloopers: Toad Gold, after finding a cache of karat gold underground the castle grounds, he bought Peach's Castle and was violently protective of his wealth (he soon lost it after Luigi shot the floor and it all fell into the collapsing hole). In R64: Stupid Mario Party, he used his friends to get money with the promise of giving the winner a Power Star. However, when Luigi won, Toad gave him a fake star and kept the real one for himself (granted Mario's noticing this led to him getting revenge on Toad by giving him a hanging wedgie on the Castle flagpole and melting down all his coins). SMG4: The Mario Purge (Halloween 2018) revealed him as being an even bigger coward than Bob Bobowski, choosing to side with the Teletubbies to save his own skin.
However, Toad does miss his friends, as he was welcoming when he didn't see them in a long time, as shown in SMG4: The Tari Abnormality and SMG4: War of the Simps. However, he usually just gets hurt in the process.
Powers And Abilities
Power level: C
- Durability: Toad was able to survive being flattened by Mario's giant cheeseburger. Incidentally, he was later able to ride on top of one without falling down.
- Magic: In the Mushrooms & Morons series, Toad happened to be a wizard.
- Mech: Toad has the ability to summon a mech. He used it to combat Giga Bowser and ultimately won. In SMG4: Mario Battle Royale, he was also able to use a mech which he used against the other battlers.
Weakness
- Bad Luck: In a lot of episodes, Toad was mostly getting hurt, mistreated or burned as in SMG4: The Tari Abnormality, SMG4: If Mario Was Smart and SMG4: Mario VS Siren Head. He also got used by Mario who tries to fix his car.
Criminal record
As Toad has expressed his desire to be rid of Mario, he has unsurprisingly committed crimes in the past.
- Abuse of Power: In Super Mario 64 Bloopers: Toad Gold and Super Mario 64 Bloopers: President Toad Washington, both of which had Toad becoming rich, he outright abused his newly-gained power and fortune to do whatever he wanted and get payback at the gang for his butt-monkey status (in the former, he bought Peach's Castle and banned SMG4's Gang from entering, and in the latter, he became president of the Mushroom Kingdom for a day and destroyed the castle to replace it with a grand casino with "dancing old people").
- Racketeering: In SMG4: The Mario Mafia, he participated in Mario's gang to fight Bowser's mafia.
- Rioting: This happened when he participated in a shootout with Mario's mafia in Bowser's hotel.
- Tyranny: In Super Mario 64 Bloopers: President Toad Washington, Toad became president of the Mushroom Kingdom, using his new-found power to cause chaos around the Mushroom Kingdom. He also dreamed of becoming a ruthless dictator in SMG4: Marioception, turning the kingdom into a dystopian wasteland.
- Accidental Bank Robbery: In Super Mario 64 Bloopers: Party Rock Prisoners, a drunk Toad accidentally assisted an equally drunk Mario in stealing money from a bank in the middle of an actual heist. This led to the two getting arrested.
- Manslaughter: In Super Mario 64 Bloopers: President Toad Washington, he accidentally killed many people but was luckily not charged.
- Mass Annihilation: In SM64: ṩṩἔᾗмὄḋᾗᾄʀ 10 (350k apocalypse special), Toad attempted to destroy the world with the giant Mario Head simply because he was tired of his status as a butt-monkey. Despite Mario managing to do away with Toad, the plan still went through (but due to the existence of the status quo, this crime was undone).
- Murder, Theft and Scam: In R64: Stupid Mario Party, Toad killed a Lakitu to steal his cloud and gave Luigi a fake Power Star.
- Seduction of a minor: In R64: the Toad, the Fat and the Ugly., although he did not know about this until the end of the episode, he dated Toadette, who was 9 years old, he was shocked when he found out about this, and then the police arrested him for this.
Trivia
- Funnily enough, despite being portrayed as very fast on his feet in the mainstream Super Mario series, Toad in the SMG4 universe is incapable of running fast, most likely because of his stubby, legless feet. Toad was ranked by Luke & James as the third powerful "C-Tier" character in the "SMG4 character Powerlevels" tier list (following Rob the Scarecrow & Sonic the Hedgehog) during the 5,100,000 subscribers Livestream.
- He likes cookies (as do Bullies, Big Bullies, and Lilyncookies), which results in him occasionally turning into Cookie Monster and going crazy.
- He is addicted to sugar and becomes hyperactive when he ingests some, as seen in many episodes of the SMG4 series.
- He doesn't know how to use a lightsaber.
- He once dressed like a woman to escape jail.
- When Toad is in the Men's locker room, he feels someone watching him as revealed in Super Mario 64 Bloopers: Enter X.
- According to Mario Attempts Tik Tok Challenges he and Toadette have a son.
- He drives a Cheep Cheep Kart in R64: Stupid Mario Kart. Possibly this is a reference to the face he makes when he is using the Golden Mushroom power-up.
- In Super Mario 64 Bloopers: Spells n' Wiztards, it was revealed that Santa Claus didn't give Toad his 2013 Christmas present, making him strongly hate Santa.
- Funnily enough, Toad, the hateful, cynical jerk is apparently on the nice list in SM64 Christmas 2015 - Christmas Crazies, compared to Mario, who despite his narcissism and in general being a complete nuisance is generally good-hearted, ended up on the naughty list.
- In SMG4 Christmas 2018: The Most Important Thing, Toad got coal for a present, much to his frustration, while Mario got a can of Sprite.
- According to Mario, he's a little wiener. In SM64: Meet the Mario., Toad also added that, in verbatim, "there are only 3 things that tub of flub cares about. Spaghetti, himself and being naked."
- As revealed in Super Mario 64 Bloopers: The Visitor. (2014), Toad likes spaghetti.
- Toad seems to have changed personality a few times throughout the SMG4 series.
- Starting off in 2011-2012 with a similar one that he has now until was changed in 2013 to be hyper and annoying until 2016 when it was changed back to a more cynical version of the one he had in 2012.
- Toad appeared to have a watch that says "Mario Is My Homeboy." Since this was during the period where he went through his personality change, it's possible that he removed the watch after going back to hating Mario.
- Toad rarely changes his expressions. However, he's more prone to doing so in later episodes.
- Like Peach and Bowser, he has rarely interacted with any modern characters.
- Toad is one of the four characters to appear in the very first video on the SMG4 (Super Mario 64 Bloopers Short: The Cake Is a Lie!). The others are Princess Peach, Lakitu, and Mario.
- As revealed in SM64: The Adventures Of Mario And Luigi Ep 4, no one high fives Toad. However, despite this, Professor E. Gadd high-fived Toad after saying Mario was a loser during his nightmare in SMG4: Marioception.
- Toad was once a teacher at Plumber Academy. While he was a teacher there, he was known as Mr. Toad.
- Toad likes Doritos.
- He has tried to escape from Peach's Castle more than 643 times, only to be stopped by Mario in every attempt. He has been seen outside Peach's Castle in some cases.
- However, it might be possible he finally escaped from Peach’s Castle without getting stopped by Mario in SMG4 Christmas 2019: Mario Alone.
- According to Toad, he gets paid by Peach in peanuts; additionally, Peach uses Toads for everything, including as a sponge and furniture. The worst thing Peach uses Toads for, however, is as a human body shield.
- Toad and Toadsworth are some of the few Toads in Peach's Castle that are able to think as the others are brain dead.
- In the Mushrooms & Morons series, he was a wizard and is able to turn invisible, teleport, and so on.
- Toad goes crazy if he has coffee as well as sugar.
- According to SMG4: High School Mario, Toad does not know to write his own name.
- Starting with SMG4: Mario's Late!, a running gag in the series involved Toad sitting lazily on his couch while playing or reading on his phone, indicating him as a couch potato. This is further proven in SMG4: Mario vs IT 🤡, where he said "Outside is for plebs".
- He also got hurt or ran over (by Mario) in a lot of recent episodes. Most of these are cameo appearances with this gag.
- His grumpy behavior in recent episodes may be due to not eating candy anymore and he was forced to suffer Mario's r*tardedness putting him in a bad mood like he was before he started eating candy. However, in SMG4: Food Wars, he was seen eating candy once again until Peach picked him up and threw him at Meggy Spletzer in an attempt to save her own skin.
- Hank Hill is his grandpa.
- According to R*tarded Recap 2016, Toad has a Ph.D. in getting high.
- Mario thinks Toad is an asshole.
- In SMG4 Season 9, his appearances have become less frequent due to other modern main characters in SMG4's Gang appearing in 9 episodes with speaking roles and 4 main roles.
- In SMG4 Season 10, his appearances became slightly more frequent again, but beside a lot of his appearances being cameos, he only had 5 speaking roles and 4 main roles (or 2 without counting SMG4 Movie: Meggy's Destiny and SMG4 Christmas Special 2020) because he wasn’t a main character in these episodes or didn’t even have a speaking role). In all the episodes of 2020 except one he got less screen time than a minute.
- In Season 11, he was a main character in SMG4: Nintendo Gets Deleted.
- Toad appeared in all WOTFI Episodes except for SMG4: War Of The Fat Italians 2019.
- As revealed in Super Mario 64: Meet the Toad, Toad and Toadsworth are the only two Toads in Peach's castle who have the ability to think, as most of the other Toads are shown to be absolutely mindless, unless told to do a specific thing.
- In super mario 64 bloopers: the switcheroooveralls, Toad used to be a rock.
- As Toad was never shown being told about Mario’s status as an avatar, whose death would destroy the SMG4 Universe, it is unknown how he would react to it. It is likely that due to his cynical, hateful attitude and general hatred of the plumber, he would probably believe it to be a lie, as a r*tard like Mario could “never” be someone important and would likely want proof.
- It is possible Toad was killed off along with Peach’s Castle being destroyed, due to it being sunken in order to stop the Demonic Goop, as well as the fact that the last time Toad was seen on screen in the movie was with a weird appearance in the castle.
- However, he is seen in Mario Does Internet Tutorials (though the Mario Does Things series is non-canon). He would then make a canon appearance in SMG4: You Made Mario Do This, confirming that he was able to escape before the castle's destruction.
- Also, in SMG4 Movie: IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT, he was infected.
