#{{User|SmokedChili}} Well this is a surprise, someone actually did what I would have done. Nevertheless, I might as well be the only other person to support this. From what I've seen, the majority of these "the" Toad appearances and bios are the result of this Wiki's intepretation. What exactly gives "the" Toad his distinct persona again? His name? Interchangable with other Toads. His personality? Not much different from generic Toads. The use of pronoun "he"? Besides gender (note: Toads are sexless, not genderless) and specifics, that's applicable to generic Toads. The bios? When generic enemies have their own bios which treat them as their own characters, this point is moot. The appearance? Okay, this might have some merit, but that's only depending on the game. I don't count games where multiple Toads with the standard look appear, and I'm still skeptical about games where only one Toad with the standard look is playable, because in Mario games, the standard look gets usually priority, expections including ''3D World'' and ''Sticker Star''. As I said in the deleted Toad related proposal, I consider the Japanese Mario fans lucky, because they aren't bothered to argue about which Toad is "the" Toad, because to them it seems clear the generic Toads don't have much going for them. | #{{User|SmokedChili}} Well this is a surprise, someone actually did what I would have done.

#{{User|Aokage}} The "3D World Blue Toad = ''the'' Toad" decision is a prime example of how people are just labeling whichever Toad they want as ''the'' Toad. Had they known Captain Toad was going to get a bigger role in his own game, they probably would've wanted him to be ''the'' Toad instead. It's clear that Nintendo - especially NoJ - doesn't really have this concept of "Toad the Toad". | #{{User|Aokage}} The "3D World Blue Toad = ''the'' Toad" decision is a prime example of how people are just labeling whichever Toad they want as ''the'' Toad.
