Mario Games he's been in:
These are the games where Toad has had an active role. Not much, is it?
SMB:2- Selected from a team of four
Mario Kart/Mario Kart64- He was a pretty good driver, with THE BEST handling.
Mario's Dream Tennis- The fastest of the eight selectable, I believe.
Wario's Woods-LEAD ROLE!!! Fighting Wario for control of the, um, woods.
Mario Games he's had a major role in the story:
Although Toad has not been in very many active roles, in most games he has had a large part in the story.
SMB- The final mushroom in World 7 was Toad. All the others were related to him
SMB:3- Toad's Mushroom House o' Goodies! Also the card game and such
Super Mario RPG-Toad had a HUGE story line role in this. Besides being a beginner tutor, he was VERY helpful throughout the game.
SM64- Gives you some free stars and helps with the game.
Mario Games he HASN'T BEEN IN:
These are the games where Nintendo choose NOT to put in the mushroom helper Toad, and why.
SMW- Different land
SMW:2-Different time
SML:1-3- I guess, many people were not in this game
Forgotten Heroism:
Info. about Toad and reasons he has been neglected.
He runs around Mushroom Kingdom/World to help Mario throughout his quest. Shouldn't Mario, the great hero, be able to get along by himself?
He had a decent character in both SMB:2, dream Tennis, and Mario Kart. Fast, agile, nimble, are these the character traits of a hero or what?
He's one of the higher ranking Mushroom officials on the entire Mushroom Kingdom. Pretty cool job if you ask me.
He usually supplies Mario with Items though out the game. The net time you use a Super Leaf in SMB:3, remember where you got it.
Anyone who's ever read the Mario comics or books knows it's Toad that always saves everyones butt.
Why People Like Toad:
Why do people like this lovable 'shroom? Here's why!
He's got a Mushroom for a head, instant protection againced the rain. Too bad I don't have a hat like that.
Royalty-Who doesn't like someone in charge.
Loyalty-He's always there for Mario. Running after him, dodging Koopa Klan members, and just to give him a power up. Wow.
Cothes- The pant/vest combo is so trendy
Popular- All the mushroom people thoughout the games are simply refered to as Toad. Wow.
Don't you just love it how in world one of SMB:3 Toad supplies you with 2 whistles and a P-wing?
