Character Sheet: Toadette (Revision)

 TOADETTE


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

Today, let's cover Toadette. She appears precisely once in this run of games, in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, as a supporting character and builder of the Papercrafts. That said, I remain thoroughly convinced she took over the role originally intended for Kylie Koopa, as most of her behavior and mannerisms in the game are far more reminiscent of Kylie's and seem a bit out of character for Toadette herself. However, one thing we do have to talk about is the fact that Captain Toad has gained enough through Professor Toad to warrant his own moveset, and Toadette will make the jump from being Toad's echo to Captain Toad's. So . . . consider this the debut of Captain Toad's moveset, I guess.

Here's her moveset:


Standard B: Flashbulb

This one is based on hers and Captain Toad's helmets ability to stun and kill Boos using the flashlight on top. Toadette will put on her helmet and it will glow brightly, doing damage to those in the vicinity


Side B: Pickaxe

This is based on the Pickaxe item appearing in the game, a powerful weapon that acts similarly to the hammer in Smash. They will pull it out and swing it up and down while moving forward for a short period.


Up B: Fan

This is based on the fans that appear in Treasure Tracker and elsewhere that require you to blow into the mike and blow them upward. A fan will appear below their feet and send them flying upward.


Down B: Dig Up

This one is based on Professor Toad's in combat ability. Since they also follow the explorer theme, it fits well for them to inherit it. Both will dig into the ground with a shovel. Captain Toad will unearth coins that will hit anyone nearby, but Toadette will have the chance to dig up a Peach Crown, thus allowing her to transform into Peachette.


Final Smash: Papercraft

This will not be Captain Toad's final smash. A group of Toads will bring in one of the Papercrafts she built throughout the game and carry it around, using it to smack its hammer and throw fireballs around the stage.


Entrance: Stepping out of a cave with the Toad Brigade theme playing


Taunts: Waving and winking, tucking her hands together under her chin the way she does, maybe she could even inherit Kylie's big thumbs up thing.


Thanks for reading! Next up, we'll cover the big bad bruiser, Bowser himself.
