| '''Yellow Toad'''<ref>''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' instruction manual, pg. 14</ref> is a member of the [[Toad (species)|Toad species]] who first appeared in the game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' where he appeared as both a friend and ally to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. He is a playable character within the multiplayer mode of the game along with Luigi and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]]. He later reprised this role in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', and has also appeared in other games.

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
| |

| |
| Yellow Toad appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' for the first time as a main hero and a playable character. The game begins as [[Princess Peach]]'s birthday is being celebrated by the princess herself, the Mario Bros., [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]], and Yellow Toad. During the festivities, a massive [[cake]] is brought into the castle. As Peach approaches the cake, [[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]] emerge out of the icing and successfully kidnap [[Princess Peach|Peach]] (at this point of time, Yellow Toad and the other heroes were stunned by the force released by the cake after it was thrown at the protagonists). Yellow Toad bravely follows closely behind the two Mario Bros. (with Blue Toad behind him) as they set off on a quest to save [[Princess Peach]].
| |
|
| |
| Throughout the adventure, Yellow Toad along with his allies would have to face many of [[Bowser]]'s minions ranging from [[Goomba]]s to [[Hammer Bro]]s. Eventually at some points of a world, Yellow Toad would have to fight some of the mini-bosses in the games. These mini-bosses include: the [[Koopalings]], Bowser Jr. and [[Kamek|Magikoopa]], who all have rather different fighting styles. Upon defeating all the mini-bosses, Yellow Toad would find himself at [[Bowser's Castle]] at the end of [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8]]. After going into the castle, Yellow Toad would have to fight Bowser himself. Eventually upon surviving the battle and causing [[Bowser]] to fall into defeat, Yellow Toad along with his friends would be able to save the princess. After freeing her from her cage, [[Princess Peach|Peach]] would give a small kiss for Yellow Toad and the other heroes as a thank you for saving her. Upon receiving the kiss, Yellow Toad can be seen jumping in a joyful cheer beside an amused Peach.
| |
|
| |
| In the ending sequence of the game, Yellow Toad can be seen riding a hot air balloon alongside Blue Toad and [[Luigi]] (though the latter has his own balloon). Once Luigi allows [[Mario]] and Princess Peach to ride in his balloon, they soon take off before he could get in; thus, causing him to be left behind. Fortunately, the two Toads invited Luigi to ride in their balloon for the journey back to [[Peach's Castle]].
| |
|
| |
| In this game, he was supposedly nicknamed '''Ala-Gold''' by Nintendo developers<ref>Holmes, Jonathan. [http://www.destructoid.com/nsmb-wii-release-bash-bucken-berry-and-ala-gold--155242.phtml NSMB Wii release bash: Bucken-Berry and Ala-Gold!]. Destructoid.com November 16, 2009. (Accessed June 28, 2012)</ref>.
| |
|
| |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
| |
| Yellow Toad makes his next appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. He regains his role as one of the main protagonists of the game along with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]].
| |
|
| |
| Within the game's introduction sequence, Yellow Toad is first seen alongside Blue Toad, the Mario Bros., and [[Princess Peach]] attending a lunch at the [[Peach's Castle]]. However, their peaceful meal is soon disturbed by the sudden appearance of multiple [[airship]]s consisting of [[Bowser]] and the [[Koopalings]]. Using a [[Mecha Hand|giant mechanical arm]] (which extended itself from Bowser's airship into the main hall of Peach's Castle where the heroes were taking their lunch), Bowser pulled away Peach's chair from harm and instead aimed a mighty punch at Yellow Toad and his other three friends (causing them to be knocked out). Seizing the opportunity, Bowser used the mechanical arm to scoop up Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, and the Mario Bros., and threw the heroes far across the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Upon crashing into the [[Super Acorn]] Tree (consisting of many [[Super Acorn]]s) and falling back to the ground with a powerful force, the four heroes soon get up and see [[Peach's Castle]] getting invaded by Bowser's forces in the far distance. Deciding to take action against Bowser and his minions, Yellow Toad and his friends run across the plains in the start of a new adventure.
| |
|
| |
| Yellow Toad reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. In this game, he is referred to as simply "Toad" and can be switched with Blue Toad when holding L or ZL (SL when playing with a single Joy-Con).<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHcXqC2vOq0</ref>
| |
|
| |
| =====''New Super Luigi U''=====
| |
| Yellow Toad returns as a playable character within the multiplayer mode of the expansion pack game ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. Very much like in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', Yellow Toad journeys through the Mushroom Kingdom to save Princess Peach once again along with the help of [[Luigi]], [[Blue Toad]], and [[Nabbit]]. Yellow Toad is affected by Luigi's distinct physics, having higher jumps yet lower traction. Yellow Toad also [[scuttle]]s, much like the other playable characters.
| |
|
| |
| ===''Super Mario-Kun''===
| |
| [[File:SMK 41.gif|thumb|upright=0.66|Propeller Yellow Toad on the cover of the forty first issue of ''Super Mario Kun''.]]
| |
| Yellow Toad along with Blue Toad are featured in the forty first and forty second issues of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]''. As the story is based on ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', the two Toads are introduced as Mario's new accomplices. Throughout the adaption of the two issues, Yellow Toad plays an important role by journeying alongside Mario, Luigi, and Blue Toad on their quest to rescue [[Princess Peach]] from [[Bowser]] and his forces.
| |
|
| |
| Both Yellow Toad and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] are seen in their propeller forms on the cover of issue 41.
| |
|
| |
| ===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', Yellow Toad appears in two different [[List of Mario Sports Superstars digital cards|collectible cards]] as [[Penguin Mario|Yellow Penguin Toad]] and [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Yellow Flying Squirrel Toad]].
| |
|
| |
| ===''Luigi's Mansion 3''===
| |
| Along with Luigi, Polterpup, Mario, Peach, [[Toad]] and Blue Toad, Yellow Toad makes an appearance in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''. He is seen reading a book next to Blue Toad. Like everyone mentioned above, Yellow Toad was invited by Luigi to spend their vacations on [[The Last Resort]]. And like everyone except for Luigi and Polterpup, Yellow Toad is captured by [[King Boo]] and put inside a painting, only to be later rescued by Luigi and Polterpup. In the [[ScareScraper]], he, Toad, Blue Toad and Green Toad have to be rescued in the Find the Toads mission.
| |
|
| |
| ===Other appearances===
| |
| Yellow Toad and the other ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' heroes were shown as some of the featured characters in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] tech demo. He was shown wearing the [[Propeller Mario|Propeller Suit]] in the demo as like in the original game's box art. The 3DS tech demo screen of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' (featuring Yellow Toad and his friends) is later an obtainable puzzle in the Puzzle Swap mode of [[Nintendo 3DS#StreetPass Mii Plaza|StreetPass Mii Plaza]].
| |
|
| |
| Yellow Toad, along with Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad and [[Mii]]s, are also seen as playable characters in the [[Wii U]] tech demo ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Mii]]''.
| |
|
| |
| Yellow Toad alongside Blue Toad, Mario, Luigi, the Koopalings, and various other characters from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' made cameo appearances in the Wii game ''[[wikipedia:Taiko no Tatsujin Wii: Minna de Party Sandaime|Taiko no Tatsujin Wii: Minna de Party Sandaime]]'' where the characters can be seen dancing to the various tracks featured in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.
| |
|
| |
| While Yellow Toad is absent from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' (as he was replaced by [[Princess Peach]] in that game), when [[Toad]] grabs a Fire Flower, he uses the same color-scheme as Fire Yellow Toad.
| |
|
| |
| Yellow Toad also appears on two [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''.
| |
|
| |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|Spirit]] showing Yellow Toad's [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel]] form appears.
| |
|
| |
| ==General information==
| |
| ===Personality===
| |
| Unlike the other Toads in the game (with the exception being [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]]), Yellow Toad is shown to be an extremely noble character as seen in the intro of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' where he ran right after the Mario Bros. to help them on their quest to save [[Princess Peach]]. He even went on to fighting the several bosses in the game including [[Bowser]] himself at the end (something that most Toads would rarely do considering their fear over Bowser).
| |
|
| |
| In comparison to Blue Toad, Yellow Toad has a much higher pitched voice that is very much like the voice that the [[Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade)|Yellow Toad]] of the [[Toad Brigade]] had in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', who also sounded higher pitched in comparison to the other Toads in the game. However, the voices of Yellow Toad and Blue Toad were changed, with Blue Toad having a higher pitched voice while Yellow Toad has a lower pitched voice.

| |
| [[File:NSMBU Flying Squirrel Yellow Toad Artwork.png|thumb|left|Yellow Toad in his Flying Squirrel form in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'']]
| |
| Throughout the game, Yellow Toad is shown to be able to perform several moves that the Mario Bros. have used in the past such as the [[Ground Pound]], [[Spin Jump]] and [[Wall Jump]]. Yellow Toad is also rather strong despite his size; being able to pick up, carry, and even throw items much larger than himself such as [[barrel]]s. He is also capable of carrying other characters such as the Mario Bros. with ease at any point in the game. He is also revealed to be skilled in riding [[Yoshis]], being able to control them as effectively as the Mario brothers. His balanced stats are present so as not to give players advantages over each other.
| |
|
| |
| He is also able to use all of the available power ups in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', including the new [[Propeller Mushroom]], the [[Penguin Suit]] and the [[Ice Flower]]. Upon using them, he is able to gain a special ability from the items (such as throwing [[fireball]]s when using the [[Fire Flower]]). All of these power ups make Yellow Toad's coloration change to his preferred choice of color, yellow.
| |
|
| |
| In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', Yellow Toad is given a new power-up ability in the form of the [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel Power-Up]]. Upon gaining the effects of the [[Super Acorn]], Yellow Toad (much like his comrades) can use his new form to glide through the air and latch onto walls.
