Character Sheet: Toad (Revision)

TOAD


This will largely be our last run of revisions, for the Mario series at least. Now that the RPGs are over, pretty much every game left is either something we've already covered for the most part (Remakes, etc.), or run on a core game mechanic not unique to any one character (the Sports games). So, once these are done, I will do character sheets for new characters added and just a general sum up for everyone else. With all that said, let's get into it:

1. Mario 
2. Luigi 
3. Professor E. Gadd 
4. Princess Peach 
5. Toad 
6. Toadette 
7. Bowser 
8. Dry Bowser 
9. Bowser Jr. 
10. Koopalings 
11. Koopa Troopa 
12. Dry Bones 
13. Goomba 
14. Piranha Plant 
15. Boo 
16. Cheep Cheep 
17. Blooper 
18. Bob-Omb 
19. Lakitu 
20. Monty Mole 
21. Spike 
22. Hammer Bro 
23. Chargin' Chuck 
24. Wiggler 
25. Chain Chomp 
26. Birdo 
27. Petey Piranha 
28. King Boo 
29. Paper Mario
30. Yoshi 
31. Baby Mario 
32. Baby Bowser 
33. Kamek 
34. Shy Guy

Not much to say on Toads this time around. They mostly just act as the NPCs inhabiting the games with not much more to offer outside of being affected by the villain of the week, like getting inflated to ginormous proportions by Fawful in Bowser's Inside Story. A few individuals stand out, like Toadbert or Professor Toad, but not much to say really. The most interesting thing going on here is the bit of a shake-up I'm doing in regards to the Toad characters on the roster. Basically, Professor Toad helped me nail down a unique concept for Captain Toad, meaning he will have his own slot. And as Toadette is well known now for her particular participation in Treasure Tracker, she could easily make the jump to being either one's echo. And if she is Captain Toad's echo, well, there's a certain other prominent Toad that has been left out thus far, and I think it's high time to rectify that.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Pick Up and Throw
I have returned to Toad's moveset prior to Treasure Tracker, thus removing any influence Captain Toad had on the moveset.

Side B: Ice Flower OR Boomerang Flower

Up B: Propeller Hat

Down B: Treasure Chest
Could possibly turn him into Captain Toad.

Final Smash: Mega Mushroom

Entrance: He arrives aboard the Toad Brigade's ship.

Taunts: "Thank you, Mario, but our Princess is in another castle." That whistle bit at the beginning of the Toad Brigade's leitmotif. "Alright."

Next up: Let's cover his sister?, Toadette!
