With a mainline adventure game firmly established for the Game Cube, the next order of business was to make sure that all of Mario’s most popular spinoffs found representation on the system as well. First was the Mario Kart series, with a brand new entry with the fun gimmick of having two drivers per car. Most of the characters had built-in partners: Mario with Luigi, Peach with Daisy, Wario with Waluigi, and Bowser with his fresh new partner Bowser Jr. In all of this, Toad still needed a good partner.
Along came Toadette, a small female Toad, with a pink head and mushroomy pigtails coming off of it. Sometimes referred to as Toad’s sister, though not quite firmly established, as tends to be the case in the Mario series. Toadette would soon prove incredibly popular, becoming a permanent fixture of most sports titles and even cropping up as a playable character in several adventure games.
As a playable fighter, she will take up a spot as the echo fighter to the soon-to-be-introduced Captain Toad, owing to her role as Player 2 in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. Her moves will pull largely from that game, but will also have plenty of her own flair to them and pull from many of her other appearances.
Likelihood rating: Strong
