==History==

====''Super Mario Bros.''/ ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' / ''Super Mario Bros. Special''====
[[File:Mushroom_retainer.gif|frame|right]]
[[File:3toads.gif|thumb|left|130px|Three Toads after being rescued in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''.]]
In
The only Mushroom People left in their original forms are Princess Toadstool's seven remaining servants, also called the '''mushroom retainers'''<ref name=spell/> or simply '''Retainers'''<ref name=maid>"''At the goals of Worlds One through Seven, Retainer, Princess Toadstool's maid is awaiting Mario's rescue Help her! Princess Toadstool is imprisoned at the end of World Eight.''" Tatsumi Yamashita, ''The Official Nintendo Player's Guide'', Tokuma Shoten, 1987, ISBN 999832369X. Page 32.</ref>, who are found in the first seven of the game's eight [[castle]]s. While the English instruction booklet claims that they are under Bowser's spell,<ref name=spell/> the Japanese version correctly states that they were merely captured.<ref name=Kinopio>「お姫様に仕える7人のキノコ、魔王の人質になっている。」 (''Seven Mushrooms who serve the princess. The Demon King is holding them hostage.'') - [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/clv/manuals/ja/pdf/CLV-P-HAAAJ.pdf ''Super Mario Bros.'' Japanese instruction booklet], page 14.</ref> Additionally, an official guide describes them as female maids, but is missing the part mentioning seven of them, implying that they are instead a single character.<ref name=maid/> When rescued, the mushroom retainer informs Mario or Luigi that their princess is in another castle.
The mushroom retainers reprise their role in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]''. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', there are as many mushroom retainers in the castle as the castle's world number (one in World 1-4, two in World 2-4, etc.). In the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', Worlds A, B, and C have five, six, and seven of them respectively. In the ending cutscene of the original version of ''Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels'' and ''Super Mario Bros. Special'' (and to a lesser extent, ''[[VS. Super Mario Bros.]]''), all seven of the mushroom retainers Mario/Luigi rescued throughout the game can be seen circling Mario/Luigi and the princess, exclaiming "Thank you Mario/Luigi!" in the former. Despite Mario rescuing only three Toads while completing Worlds A-C in ''The Lost Levels'', World D's ending, after rescuing Peach again, will still show seven Toads surrounding Mario/Luigi and Peach like with World 8's ending.
====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Line 37 ⟶ 38:
Although Toads are absent in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Many Toads (including Toad himself) are found inside the rooms of [[Princess Peach's Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It is implied that these Toads are sealed behind the Castle's walls so that they could not escape to seek out for help. Upon Mario's arrival to the castle, the imprisoned Toads inform Mario about [[Bowser]]'s takeover of the castle, and give him various hints about the [[Power Star]]s. A number of Toads even manage to hold onto a few Power Stars and later give them to Mario. Two Toads are also seen (alongside Princess Peach) in the ending of the game after Mario defeats Bowser for the final time.
[[File:RecRoom.png|thumb|right|150px|The Toad hosting the Rec Room in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.]]
In the remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the Toads presume the same role of providing tips while being sealed behind the castle walls; however, their messages are slightly altered for each of the playable characters that talk to them. Additionally, a Toad also tells Mario to find the various keys needed to unlock the drawers of Peach's dresser. Every time Mario brings a key to this Toad, a new [[minigame]] appears and becomes available to play in the [[Rec Room]]. Toads also make cameo appearances as background characters in the various minigames. Some are even dressed up as waiters in the Luigi minigames. The two Toads that appeared alongside Peach in the ending of the original are absent from the remake.
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====

===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
[[File:ToadMissiontoSavePeach.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mario and Luigi with one of the saved female Mushroom Retainers.]]
Very much like in the original game of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', the Toads were presented as Princess Peach's servants as well as the peaceful citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom in the animated film ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]''. They were mentioned to having lived in peace until King Bowser (leader of the Koopas) arrived to destroy their Kingdom and kidnap the fair Princess Peach. The Toads were soon kidnapped, and many were turned into various inanimate objects such as flowers (thus, being unable to help the Princess). Both Mario and Luigi saved the Toads at various instances, and as a result the Toads were freed from their spells. To thank them, the Toads rewarded the Mario Bros. with various items and power-ups (such as [[Super Mushroom]]s) to help them with their journey.
Line 106 ⟶ 107:
===''Super Mario Shirayuki-hime''===
[[File:Gma amada mario 26.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The seven Toads finding the presumed dead Peach in ''[[Super Mario Shirayuki-hime]]''.]]
In the retelling of the classic fairy tale story of ''Snow White and Seven Dwarves'' featuring Mario characters in ''[[Super Mario Shirayuki-hime]]'', seven Toads played the roles of the seven dwarves. The seven featured Toads acted very much in a child like manner; however, they were very close to Princess Peach throughout the tale and sworn to protect her as Mario ran off to do an errand. Sometime later, the seven Toads decided to head out of the cabin (in which the Toads, Mario, and Peach stayed in) and go exploring. After bidding Peach farewell until their short returns, Bowser (disguised as an old woman) arrived to the scene and tricked Peach into eating a poison apple that would cause her to fall into a deep slumber. Not long after Bowser had fled, the seven Toads arrived to the scene and discovered Peach on the ground. Assuming that she was dead, the Toads fell into sadness and placed her in an outdoor coffin in order to preserve her beauty.
Line 123 ⟶ 124:
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
[[File:Toad_SMRPG.png|thumb|One of the Toads in the game.]]
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Toads live in various towns, such as Mushroom Kingdom, [[Rose Town]] and [[Seaside Town]]. Many Toads are shopkeepers or inn owners and helped Mario and his party by offering their services. In Rose Town, Mario has to help the Toads, who are paralyzed by [[Bowyer|Bowyer's]] [[Aero]]s. In Seaside Town, the inhabitants, including many Toads, are imprisoned in a shed by [[Yaridovich]]. Mario eventually rescues them. A few Toads also appear in remote areas such as [[Monstro Town]] and even inside [[Barrel Volcano]]. Many Toads in this game have different patterns on their hats than normally found on Toads. The inhabitants of [[Rose Town]] have target shapes, [[Hinopio]] in Barrel Volcano has a flame pattern.
Line 129 ⟶ 130:
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
Toads appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the main residents of [[Toad Town]]. There is also one in each [[Toad House]] in all towns of the game, except for the one in [[Star Haven]]. According to [[Goombario]], these Toads had been sent to man the Toad Houses by [[Princess Peach]] in order to help the denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom's towns. The Toad inhabitants of [[Dry Dry Outpost]], known as [[Dryite]]s, wear turbans over their mushroom caps. Also, a Toad martial artist, known as [[The Master]], is featured in the game. He runs a karate dojo in Toad Town, and has two pupils named [[Lee]] and [[Chan]]. He can be fought as an optional boss. The Master's sister, [[Tayce T.]] is also a Toad Town resident. She is considered by many to be an extraordinarily good chef. She cooks any item that Mario bring to her into new, potentially stronger items.
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:TTYD_Toad.png|thumb|A [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario''-style]] Toad.]]
The species appear again in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They live in many of the game's towns, and are also owners of almost every shop found in [[Rogueport]] and the surrounding areas. During the events of the game, a large group of orange Toads are stranded in the [[Pirate's Grotto]] on [[Keelhaul Key]], along with the [[Pianta]]s [[Francesca]] and [[Frankie]]. Mario has to use [[Admiral Bobbery]]'s [[Bomb (attack)|Bomb ability]] to help them escape the Pirate's Grotto.
====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Toads do not make a major appearance. [[Toad]] himself is present at the beginning of the game, telling Mario and Luigi that Princess Peach had been captured, and several Toads appear as part of the [[audience]] when Mario performs a [[Stylish Move]]. Toads also appear in the minigame, [[Mansion Patrol]]. They somehow manage to get themselves captured by [[Boo]]s, and the player has to aim the [[Wii]] Remote cursor at the ghosts, and destroy them to free the Toads. Whenever a captured Toad is freed, they provide the player with a power-up, but if the player accidentally shoots a Toad, they will lose [[point]]s. They also are mentioned in Toad's [[Caught Card]] which is the last of the card collection.
Line 185 ⟶ 186:
====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the Toad's life force, known as [[vim]], is extracted by the [[Shroob|Shroobs]] to be used as fuel for their UFOs during their invasion of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. This process occurrs at the [[Vim Factory]]. Many Toads also appear at Peach's castle, giving information to Mario and Luigi. Also, there are Toads with red caps and white spots called [[Mountain Toad]]s that live in [[Thwomp Volcano]]. Many Toads are also transformed into shroob mushrooms when their vim is extracted from their bodies (this is especially seen in [[Toadwood Forest]]).
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''====

[[File:Toads SMR.png|350px|thumb|left|Artwork of multiple Toads from ''[[Super Mario Run]]''.]]
Toads, in general, are very loyal to Princess Peach and the Mushroom Kingdom, but tend to panic in dangerous situations. For example, during [[Bowser|Bowser's]] attack on [[Peach's Castle]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', many Toads begin to panic, mindlessly running around in circles and occasionally tripping, only to resume mindlessly running around in circles. Also, during the events of ''[[Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', in the conference held by Princess Peach, a Toad suggests that the entire kingdom should "panic". It is often due to their cowardice, that many Toads are relatively non violent; that notwithstanding, they may fight if it is by all means for self defense, though they seem to prefer running away and cowering before their foes. There are other Toads who develop tough natures, such as those who live in [[Rogueport]], or adventurous natures, such as the [[Toad Brigade]].
