The '''Mini Toads''' are [[Toad (species)|Toad]] toys produced and sold by the [[Mario Toy Company]]. They first debut in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'' and have appeared in every installment of the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]] to date, excluding the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong|platforming-oriented original]].

The success of the Mario Toy Company's earlier toys, the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]]s, was so great that it allowed them to expand and sell other mini toys, including [[Mini Peach]], [[Mini Donkey Kong]], and Mini Toad.

Mini Toads are playable characters in this game as well, but only in Special Kit 1 (which is unlocked by completing 3 minigames) for the [[Construction Zone]]. If a Mini Toad comes in contact with a [[Fire Flower]], it will become a [[Fire Mini Mario|Fire Mini Toad]].

Mini Toads appear again in the third installment of the series, ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]''. After beating [[Jungle Rumble]]'s DK level, the Rooftop levels become accessible. Mini Toads are found in the first three levels. After beating them, Mini Toads are unlocked to be used in Construction Mode, where they can be used along with other Minis. They can also be selected to replace Mini Marios in most levels (aside from DK, Key and Rooftop levels) in the Showroom section of the option menu, but they act the same as the other mini toys. Selecting "Minis" will make Mini Toads appear alongside other Minis. Since each level has at least two minis, Mini Toads will appear in all levels except for the previously mentioned when this option is chosen.

The Mini Toads reappear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]''. Here, Mini Toad's spots are blue instead of red possibly to reference ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. In the main worlds, it appears in the fourth level of every world in a capsule that another Mini must walk into to break. It becomes available from the start in the Construction Zone to use in the Multi Door option, and can be unlocked for use outside of that option by submitting a level to the Challenge Mode contest. In plus mode, Mini Toads appear in many levels alongside other minis, and they must be taken to the goal in the right order.

It is revealed from the first trailer that Mini Toad will return to ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', returning to his original design. In this game, Mini Toad is able to turn into a smaller version of himself, enabling him to move through small passages, a feature unique to him.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ESC_Se-Tmg</ref>

Mini Toads make their first non-''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''-related appearance in the [[Animal Crossing X Mario Kart 8|DLC]] retro track [[Ribbon Road|<small>GBA</small> Ribbon Road]] as "spectators" to the race. They take on their original, pre-''Mini-Land Mayhem!'' red color scheme, and their bodies appear to be made of wood.
