He is a red [[Toad (species)|Toad]] with an oversized backpack and a headlamp, the former preventing him from being able to [[jump]]. He is the leader of the [[Toad Brigade]], a group of Toads that provides help to [[Mario]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and its [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|sequel]]. He subsequently appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' as a playable character in special levels known as [[Captain Toad's Adventures]], which inspired the game ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', of which Captain Toad is the main protagonist.
 
'''Captain Toad''' (also known as '''Toad Brigade Captain''') is a character who first appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. He is a red [[Toad (species)|Toad]] who is dressed with an oversized backpack and a headlamp. In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', Captain Toad also wears an explorer's outfit and a red necktie. He is best known for being the self-proclaimed leader of the [[Toad Brigade]] organization. The Prima guide for ''Super Mario Galaxy'' considers him to be [[Toad]], using Toad's artwork as his. Due to his similarities to the aforementioned character, confusion arose between the two characters.
 
Captain Toad earned his own starring role in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' which revolves around a tale of the hard-working Toad going out of his way to stopping a [[Wingo|a massive bird]] from taking away his treasure and his friend [[Toadette]].

The Toad Brigade Captain debuts as the self-proclaimed captain of the [[Toad Brigade]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. He appears to be one of the few characters that escaped the destruction of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], along with the Toad Brigade members and [[Luigi]]. The Toads lost Luigi in space, and instead found themselves in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. [[Mario]] eventually finds the Toads and rescues them. He rewards Mario with the first [[Power Star]] of that galaxy.
Captain Toad appears as the self-proclaimed captain of the [[Toad Brigade]]. In the game, he appears to be one of the few Toads that had escaped the destruction of [[Mushroom Kingdom]], along with his fellow Toad Brigade members and [[Luigi]]. The Toads soon lost Luigi in space, and soon all of them found themselves in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. Mario eventually finds the Toads and rescues them.  


The Toad Brigade Captain can sometimes find [[Power Star]]s for Mario. In order to follow [[Mario]], he uses a special spaceship called the [[Starshroom]] to provide him and his brigade with transportation while traveling through the galaxies. When Mario reaches the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], the Toad Brigade Captain is appointed as Royal Guard Commander. If Mario is [[Bee Mario]], the Toad Brigade Captain becomes frightened at first, though quickly recognizes him.  His headlamp can be used to defeat [[Boo]]s by shining his headlamp at them.  
As a thanks, Captain Toad and his brigade attempts to help Mario on his quest by going adventuring alongside him. Sometimes, Captain Toad even finds a [[Power Star]] for Mario (though these stars are sometimes obvious to find for the players). Captain Toad's headlamp can also be used to defeat [[Boo]]s by shining his headlamp at them. In order to follow the hero, Captain Toad uses a special spaceship called the [[Starshroom]] to provide him and his brigade with transportation while traveling through the galaxies. Generally, Captain Toad appears to want to help [[Mario]], but is sometimes cowardly and lazy throughout the adventure. Despite his cowardliness, Captain Toad is portrayed as being extremely loyal throughout the game (as even described by his official biography), and tries his best to help Mario to save [[Princess Peach]] from [[Bowser]] without giving any signs of giving up.

[[File:Deep Shell Well.png|thumb|250px|The Toad Brigade Captain presenting Mario with a [[Power Star]] in the [[Slimy Spring Galaxy]]]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Captain Toad makes an appearance once again as the Toad Brigade Captain (even naming himself as he has a special [[item]] that the other members of the [[Toad Brigade]] do not have - a headlamp). He is first met by [[Mario]] in the mission, "Digga-Leg's Planet" where he warns Mario about the "scary monster", [[Digga-Leg]]. He is found nearby from his [[Starshroom]]. Additionally, Captain Toad's [[Starshroom]], at this point, has a [[Checkpoint Flag]] on the underside of the spaceship that [[Mario]] can use to save his progress before facing [[Digga-Leg]]. After getting the [[Power Star]], Captain Toad and the other members of the Toad Brigade decide to assist Mario (like the first game), and they use their [[Starshroom]] to follow [[Starship Mario]] around the galaxies. It is revealed that in this game, Captain Toad and the other members of the [[Toad Brigade]] had asked the [[Luma (species)|Luma]]s to help them build the [[Starshroom]] in order to save [[Princess Peach]]. However, after finding [[Mario]] and deciding that he would do the job better, the Toad Brigade follow and help Mario on his quest to rescue the princess instead. In the ending of the game, he and his brigade accompany [[Mario]] back to their planet to celebrate his victory over a shrunken [[Bowser]].
The Toad Brigade Captain reappears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. He first appears in the mission "[[Digga-Leg's Planet]]", where he warns Mario about the "scary monster", [[Digga-Leg]]. They use their Starshroom to follow [[Starship Mario]] around the galaxies. Originally, the Toad Brigade wanted to save [[Princess Peach]] by themselves, but after finding Mario and deciding that he would do the job better, the Toad Brigade decides to assist Mario instead. In the [[Slimy Spring Galaxy]] mission "The Deep Shell Well", the Toad Brigade Captain manages to obtain the star before Mario arrives. However, he accidentally falls inside a chest that locks him inside. When Mario opens up the chest, the Toad Brigade Captain pops out and gives him the star, asking Mario not to tell the other Toad Brigade members of this event. In the ending of the game, he and his brigade accompany Mario back to their planet to celebrate his victory over [[Bowser]]. He can sometimes be seen daydreaming in various areas about resting up instead of adventuring.

[[File:SM3DW Captain Toad Goes Forth.png|thumb|left|250px|Captain Toad in the course [[Captain Toad Goes Forth]]]]
Very much like in the first game, Captain Toad is again loyal to his friends, but extremely cowardly. He can also be seen daydreaming in various areas about resting up instead of adventuring. However, Captain Toad does occasionally get to being successful as he sometimes finds a few [[Power Star|Power Stars]] for Mario (though he often needs to find Captain Toad in the level in order to obtain the Power Star). One prime example of Captain Toad's generosity for a free star is in the [[Slimy Spring Galaxy]] where Captain Toad manages to snatch the star from the end of the level before [[Mario]] arrives. However, after obtaining the [[Power Star]], Captain Toad accidentally falls inside a chest that locked him inside. After Mario opens up the chest, Captain Toad pops out and gives him the star (though not before asking Mario to not tell the other [[Toad Brigade]] members of this event). There is also a mission which involves Captain Toad that is called "Search for the Toad Brigade Captain". This mission has [[Mario]] look for Captain Toad who is lost somewhere in the [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]].
Captain Toad reappears under his current name and design in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port, ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. He is seen in some courses throughout the game, known as [[Captain Toad's Adventures]]. These courses are composed of puzzle-based stages, where the goal is to obtain all five [[Green Star]]s using Captain Toad, who is the only playable character. Aside from walking, he is not able to perform any special moves, even [[jumping]]. Instead, the player must rely on the different elements and obstacles within the course to progress, such as timed platforms which propel Captain Toad into the air instead of jumping. His headlamp can still defeat Boos and other ghost-like enemies, but instead of defeating them instantly, he will defeat them after stunning them. In the original game, the player uses the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]] to move Captain Toad around the stage. He starts in his [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]], and will shrink if he is damaged (his cap and spots will also switch colors). The music that plays in most of these levels is an extended variation of his theme in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. In the Nintendo Switch port, the Toad Brigade members will act as the other playable characters in the multiplayer mode of Captain Toad's Adventures. They have the same powers as Captain Toad.


Captain Toad also makes cameos in some of the normal courses of the game as a non-playable character, usually in danger. If the player rescues him, Captain Toad will award a Green Star. He also appears as the conductor of the [[Coin Express]] train of [[World 5 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 5]]. In [[Tricky Trapeze Theater]], he is seen in a hidden area after a trapeze and a [[Clear Pipe]] by a [[Roulette Block]]. His last appearance is at the end of [[Champion's Road]], where he can be seen cheering in the crowd.
====''Super Mario 3D World''====
[[File:SM3DWtower.png|thumb|left|230px|Screenshot of '''Captain Toad''' in the course [[Captain Toad Goes Forth]].]]
Captain Toad is seen in a series of courses throughout ''Super Mario 3D World'' known as [[The Adventures of Captain Toad]]. These courses are comprised of a puzzle-based stage, where the goal is to obtain all 5 [[Green Star (Super Mario 3D World)|Green Stars]] using Captain Toad, who is the only playable character. This is also the first time he is playable in the series. Asides from walking, he is not able to perform any special moves, such as [[Jump]], [[Roll]], etc. Instead, the [[player]] must rely on the different elements and obstacles within the course to progress, such as timed platforms which propel Captain Toad into the air instead of jumping. His headlamp is also capable of stunning ghost like enemies, such as [[Boo]]s. The player uses the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]] to move Captain Toad around the stage. He starts off in his [[Super Mario|Super form]], and will shrink if he is damaged (his cap and spots will also switch colors).


Captain Toad makes a minor appearance in the ''Bowser's Fury'' mode of ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''. After defeating [[Giant Bowser]] and viewing the credits for the first time, Captain Toad can be found on a small island near [[Scamper Shores]] where he is being chased in a circle by some Cat [[Biddybuds]], similar to his appearance in [[Sunshine Seaside]] from the main game. After Mario defeats them, Captain Toad rewards him with a [[Cat Shine]] and remains on [[Fur Step Island]] with Toadette and the rest of the Toad Brigade for the rest of the game.
Captain Toad also makes an appearance in some of the normal courses of the game. In some instances, he will be in danger. If the player rescues him, Captain Toad will award a Green Star. He also appears as the conductor of the [[Golden Express]] train of World 5. In [[Tricky Trapeze Theater]] of the same world, he is seen in a hidden area after a trapeze and a [[Clear Pipe]] by a [[Roulette Block]]. His last appearance is at the end of [[Champion's Road]], as he can be seen cheering in the crowd.
 
====''Super Mario Maker''====
[[File:CaptainToadMarioMaker.png|thumb]]
While Captain Toad himself does not make an actual appearance in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', a Captain Toad [[Costume Mario|costume]] came out on December 25, 2015, unlocked via completing the Event Course [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (level)|Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]. Though Captain Toad is able to jump here, this level is created so that it can be completed without jumping. Also, the [[Toad]] [[amiibo]] allows Mario to gain a costume akin to the [[Pixel Toad]] sprite from ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''. Additionally, when Mario rescues a Toad while wearing the Toad costume, the Toad will say "Ah, Captain! It's terrible! Princess Peach has been taken to another castle!" likely referencing Captain Toad.
 
====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:Captain toad odyssey.jpg|thumb|left|Captain Toad meeting Mario in the Metro Kingdom in ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]
[[File:SMO Captain Toad sprite.jpg|thumb|Captain Toad in his sprite form]]
Captain Toad makes a reappearance in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', now wearing the same outfit as in ''Super Mario 3D World'' and ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''. In this game, he is a non-playable character. He appears in most kingdoms in an often difficult-to-reach location. When Mario finds and speaks to him, he hands over a [[Power Moon]] he had found while exploring that kingdom. Like other non-playable characters, he gets scared and will not be able to talk to Mario if he is approached by the protagonist while he is capturing an enemy. The music heard when Captain Toad is talking to Mario is the same as the one heard in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Although he does not physically appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', it is strongly implied Captain Toad is Legendary Explorer in the game's story mode. Legendary Explorer's courses are heavily adventure-based, and require little jumping to complete (e.g. [[Fire Koopa Clown Carnage]]). In the same course's description, Legendary Explorer mentions "having to do the laundry" as an excuse not to go on the "grand expedition"; in [[Boo-ring Course]]'s description, he mentions "attempting to recreate a star he found a long time ago." Unlike other course creators who are implied to be ''Super Mario'' characters, Legendary Explorer does not use the same speech pattern as Captain Toad himself in the Japanese version.
====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
[[File:SMBW screenshot Captain Toad.png|thumb|100px|Captain Toad in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]
Captain Toad makes his physical debut in a 2D game in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. Like in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', he is found in hidden areas of the world, rewarding the player with 50 [[flower coin]]s for speaking with him. Regardless of which playable character interacts with Captain Toad upon his first encounter, he does not recognize them and remarks that this is their first time meeting.
Captain Toad appears in five separate locations, all of which are isolated from the rest of the world map, and can only be accessed through [[warp pipe]]s; three are located in [[Pipe-Rock Plateau]], and two in [[Sunbaked Desert]]. By entering the pipes in World 1, Captain Toad can be found in the [[Petal Isles]] (high above the entrance to World 6), on a vista overlooking [[Fluff-Puff Peaks]], and a cavern above the palace in [[Deep Magma Bog]]. From the pipes in World 4, he is met behind a waterfall on the right side of [[Shining Falls]], and on a remote island in [[Fungi Mines]].
===''Super Mario-kun''===
Captain Toad is featured in the respective volumes of the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' manga that cover the stories of ''Super Mario Galaxy'', ''Super Mario 3D World'', and ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''. While Captain Toad's design remains the same as his in-game one in most of his appearances, in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 49|volume 49]] he is drawn with a toothbrush mustache.

{{newsubject-section}}
In ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS enhanced port]], Captain Toad is the primary protagonist. He can now defend himself by using power-ups, wield weapons such as the [[Super Pickax]], and pick [[turnip]]s from the ground to attack enemies. However, like in ''Super Mario 3D World'', Captain Toad cannot jump in this game.
[[File:Captain Toad TT artwork03.png|thumb|160px|right|Captain Toad snagging a diamond in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''.]]
Captain Toad stars in the [[Wii U]] title ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' as the primary protagonist. <ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/06/10/e3-2014-captain-toadas-treasure-tracker-coming-to-wii-u?abthid=53972f94f6f711652000000d</ref>. In comparison to his specific levels from ''Super Mario 3D World'', he can do more than just walk, as he can now defend himself by using power-ups, wield weapons such as the [[Super Pickaxe]] and pick [[turnip]]s from the ground to attack enemies.


In [[Episode 1]], Captain Toad's journey begins when [[Toadette]] shows him a [[Power Star]] she found on the top of a level. However, a large bird known as [[Wingo]] swoops down and claims the Power Star for itself. Captain Toad falls backwards, however Toadette is kidnapped by Wingo after she latches onto the Power Star in an attempt to get it back. Determined to get Toadette and their treasure back, Captain Toad heads off through many puzzle-like stages to reach the top of [[Wingo's Watchtower]] where Wingo holds Toadette hostage.
Captain Toad's journey begins when [[Toadette]] shows him a [[Power Star]] she found on the top of a level. However, both Toads were in for a shock when a large bird known as [[Wingo]] swoops down and claims the treasure for itself. Stunned by Wingo's sudden appearance, Captain Toad falls backwardsw; however, Toadette is unfortunately kidnapped by Wingo after she latches onto the Power Star in an attempt to get it back. Determined to get Toadette and their treasure back, Captain Toad heads off through a plethora of puzzle-like stages to reach the top of Pyropuff Peak where Wingo holds Toadette hostage.


Ultimately, Captain Toad finds Wingo at the top of a tower. There, Captain Toad battles Wingo and defeats the bird via the use of giant turnips. Toadette and the original Power Star are saved, which causes the two Toads to celebrate in their victory.
Ultimately, Captain Toad finds Wingo at the top of a tower and fights his way to the very peak of the tower. There, Captain Toad battles Wingo and defeats the greedy bird via the use of giant turnips. Toadette and the original Power Star are saved by this point which causes the two Toads to celebrate in their victory.
[[File:Wingo boss encounter.jpg|thumb|180|left|Captain Toad encountering Wingo at its tower prior to their first battle.]]
Later on, Toadette finds another Power Star and leads Captain Toad to it; however, much like before, Wingo returns with revenge and kidnaps Captain Toad along with the Power Star. Devastated, Toadette now heads to Pyropuff Peak to save Captain Toad. Upon trying to save Captain Toad, the fight fails as the Captain is knocked far away from the scene while Toadette is recaptured by Wingo. Sometime later, Captain Toad regains consciousness in a dark cavern and attempts to retrieve a lost Power Star within the level. However, he is cruelly met by Wingo who steals the Power Star right before the Captain, and taunts the Captain even more with both the treasure and Toadette (who is once again attached to its necklace) before flying off again.  


[[File:Wingo boss encounter.jpg|thumb|180|left|Captain Toad encountering Wingo at its tower before their first battle]]
Frustrated by various scenes of Wingo flying past him, Captain Toad finally makes it back to the tower where Wingo resides and makes his way to the very top (while avoiding Wingo) to have a final battle against the bird boss. Upon declaring victory by throwing a giant turnip into Wingo's mouth and ultimately causing Wingo to fall from the air once more, Toadette is finally free and the stolen Power Star is at last retrieved. Both Captain Toad and Toadette get on a minecart soon afterwards during the staff roll of the game.
In [[Episode 2]], Toadette finds another Power Star and leads Captain Toad to it; however, much like before, Wingo returns and kidnaps Captain Toad along with the Power Star. Toadette now heads towards her next adventure to save Captain Toad. Upon trying to save Captain Toad at [[Battle Tower Blitz]], their reunion is short-lived as the Captain is knocked far away from the scene while Toadette is recaptured by Wingo. Sometime later, Captain Toad regains consciousness in a dark cavern and attempts to retrieve a lost Power Star within the level. However, Wingo reappears and steals the Power Star right before him and taunts Captain Toad with both the treasure and Toadette before flying off again.  


After this, Captain Toad finally makes it back to the tower where Wingo resides and makes his way to the very top to defeat him. Upon declaring victory by throwing a giant turnip into Wingo's mouth and ultimately causing Wingo to fall from the air once more, Toadette is finally free and the stolen Power Star is retrieved. Captain Toad and Toadette get on a minecart during the staff roll of the game.
Upon the end of the minecart trip, Captain Toad notices a Green Star falling from the sky and immediately chases after it much to Toadette's dismay. It is then revealed as to how Captain Toad  arrived into the Sprixie Kingdom as he falls into the pipe leading into the area after the Green Star tumbles within the pipe. Thus, this begins Captain Toad's adventures within ''Super Mario 3D World''.

Upon the end of the minecart trip, Captain Toad notices a [[Green Star]] falling from the sky and immediately chases after it much to Toadette's dismay. He then falls into a Clear Pipe leading to the [[Sprixie Kingdom]], which begins his adventures in ''Super Mario 3D World''. In the [[Nintendo Switch]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] versions, the cutscene is altered where he instead notices the [[Odyssey]] traveling overhead, thus beginning his adventures in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.
Captain Toad and the Toad Brigade make an appearance as a trophy within ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. The Toad Brigade trophy is depicted in the style of how the Toads appeared within the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games.
 
Much like in ''Super Mario 3D World'', Captain Toad's cap colors become inverted upon [[Small Mario|taking damage]], making his cap look similar to a [[Super Mushroom]].
 
As of the 1.1.0 update of the Nintendo Switch version, a [[palette swap]] of Captain Toad called '''Purple Captain Toad'''<ref>{{cite|author=@NintendoAmerica|date=March 13, 2019|url=x.com/nintendoamerica/status/1105544188995592192|title=Purple Captain Toad is ready for two-player Partner Adventure for every level in #CaptainToad: Treasure Tracker!

[[File:MKT Captain Toad.png|thumb|upright=1.33|Captain Toad drifting in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
Captain Toad makes his ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series debut as a High-End driver in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', introduced in the [[Exploration Tour (2020)|2020 Exploration Tour]]. Despite being an alternate version of Toad, he is considered a completely separate character from Toad as opposed to a variant, similar to [[Dr. Mario]], who is a separate version of [[Mario]], although in the game's IDs the two are considered variants. His [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] is the [[Hammer]]. Starting from the [[Sky Tour]], he is available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.
 
In this game, Captain Toad jumps during most of his [[Jump Boost]] animations, despite his heavy backpack still being on.

Captain Toad is a member of the [[Toad (species)|Toad]] species, and as such is short and usually smiling, with a mushroom cap with red spots. In his earlier appearances, his attire was more simplistic, with a red vest and white pants. As a result, his appearance was similar to many other red-spotted Toads. His key, distinguishing features include his large, oversized backpack, which prevents him from jumping, except in ''Mario Kart Tour''. He has a headlamp, which distinguishes him from his fellow Toad Brigade members as their captain. Captain Toad can defeat [[Boo]]s and [[Peepa]]s by shining the light from his headlamp at them for a moment, similar to [[Light Box]]es.
Captain Toad is a member of the [[Toad (species)|Toad]] race, and as such appears as a chid-like humanoid wearing a mushroom cap often seen with a large smile etched upon his face. He is a Toad with red spots upon his large mushroom cap and during his earlier appearances, his attire was simplistic with a red vest and white pants. As a result, his appearance was similar to many other red spotted Toads. However, his key distinguishing features included his large backpack and a headlamp which distinguished his appearance from his fellow Toad Brigade members as their captain. This headlamp actually had the ability to defeat [[Boo]]s merely by having Captain Toad shining the light at them.


From ''Super Mario 3D World'' onwards, Captain Toad wears a beige explorer's outfit with two chest pockets on both sides, a red neckerchief, a brown belt with a gold buckle, and red shoes, and he retains his headlamp and large backpack. In the most recent update for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS versions of ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'', Captain Toad gains an alternate, purple color scheme for the new co-op mode.
In ''Super Mario 3D World'', Captain Toad's design was revamped with his clothing having been changed to an explorer's suit (to further emphasize his love for treasure) as well as the addition of a red necktie and red shoes. His headlamp and large backpack return in his redesign as well.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Captain Toad has a more subdued color scheme than in the ''Super Mario'' games, while his outfit appears to be more detailed.

[[File:Captain Toad Toad Brigade snooze.png|200px|thumb|left|Captain Toad asleep alongside Yellow Toad.]]
Despite being the leader of the [[Toad Brigade]] organization in both ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|sequel]], Captain Toad is extremely cowardly. His cowardice often leads to his fellow Toad Brigade members to talk negatively about the Captain behind his back. The captain also tends to be accident-prone and as a result, often lands himself into danger. Captain Toad can also be seen to be lazy as he can be seen daydreaming about relaxing in various galaxies. He also appears to be extremely quick at making tall tales to make himself appear braver than he truly is to the rest of his brigade members.

Regardless of his negative traits, he is seen to be highly resourceful in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' titles. He also rewards [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] with coins to replenish health and even power-ups. Captain Toad does occasionally find [[Power Star]]s himself; however, he is always ready to give it to either Mario or Luigi in an attempt to help the hero in his adventures as well as for the cause of saving the universe.
Regardless of his negative traits, Captain Toad is highly resourceful. He (or at least one of his brigaders) is seen to be a highly experienced mechanic as he was able to repair the [[Starshroom]] that he and the other Toad Brigade members used every time it broke. He also rewards [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] with coins to replenish health and even [[Power-Up]]s. Captain Toad does occasionally find [[Power Star]]s himself; however, he is always ready to give it to either Mario or Luigi in an attempt to help the hero in his adventures.


Captain Toad is described to being the "fearless" hunter of Green Stars within ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and proves this title by being on a constant hunt for the exclusive stars despite lacking the ability to jump. Like in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', he constantly rewards Mario, Luigi, [[Toad]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Rosalina]] with Green Stars or [[coin]]s and [[Power-Up]]s when encountered.  
Captain Toad is described to being the "fearless" hunter of Green Stars within ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and proves this title by being on a constant hunt for the exclusive stars despite lacking the ability to jump (as a result of his heavy backpack.) Regardless, he maintains his gracious character from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and constantly rewards Mario, Luigi, [[Toad]], [[Peach]], and [[Rosalina]] with Green Stars or even [[coin]]s and [[Power-Up]]s when encountered.  


Captain Toad is somewhat greedy, as he cannot help but try to snag any treasure he sees. This is shown in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''{{'}}s ending, where he does not hesitate to chase after the [[Green Star]] he sees falling from the sky, and after it falls into the [[Clear Pipe]] that leads to the [[Sprixie Kingdom]], he tries to get it but falls into the pipe too. The director of ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'', Shinya Hiratake, describes Captain Toad to being so engrossed with finding treasure to the point where his obsession is akin to a crow attracted to shiny things or a moth to a flame. As a result, Hiratake even questions Captain Toad's loyalty to the Mushroom Kingdom due to him being oblivious to his surroundings as long as the captain finds any treasure.<ref>[https://www.polygon.com/2018/8/7/17658584/captain-toad-treasure-tracker-nintendo-legend-of-zelda Personality of Captain Toad] as part of an interview with director Shinya Hiratake (posted August 7, 2018). Retrieved August 8, 2018.</ref>
Captain Toad also has a bit of a greedy side, as it seems he can't help but try to snag any treasure he sees. This is shown in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'''s ending, where he does not hesitate to chase after the [[Green Star]] he sees falling from the sky, and after it falls into the [[Clear Pipe]] that leads to the [[Sprixie Kingdom]], he tries to get it but falls into the pipe too (which explains how he got there in the first place in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''). 
Going along with the common frightful characteristic of the Toads, Captain Toad is no exception as he can be seen to be panicking in a comical sense from various enemies throughout most of the main game courses (often requiring one of the other playable characters to help him out).


Similar to other Toads, Captain Toad has a frightful characteristic, as he can be seen to be panicking in a comical sense from various enemies in his appearances in ''Super Mario 3D World'' courses.

Upon the release of ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the [[Prima Games]] guide stated that the Toad Brigade leader was the main [[Toad]] character, using Toad's artwork as his. Due to his similarities to the aforementioned character, it caused confusion between the two characters when it was stated that Captain Toad was the same Toad as in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. However, it has since been confirmed that Toad and Captain Toad are not the same character.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20170202063331/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/replies/AYMHAAACAAADVHhqTRtYFw|title=Comment on Miiverse] as part of an interview with producer Koichi Hayashida|date=December 6, 2014|accessdate=June 24, 2024}}</ref> Him being a separate Toad with a unique name was confirmed in the ''Super Mario Pia'', an official memorial book written for the 30th Anniversary of ''Super Mario Bros.''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Pia''|page=59|language=ja|quote=キノピオ<br>キノコ王国の住人たち。ピーチをさらわれてマリオに助けを求めるのがお約束のシリーズを代表するキャラで、赤色や黄色などカラーはさまざま。また、キノじいやキノピオ隊長など固有の名前をもつものもいる。 (''Toad<br>The inhabitants of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Despite these explicit statements, a few other sources have gone on to suggest a connection with Toad. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', if the Toad spirit is leveled up to 99 and enhanced, it turns into Captain Toad. In a pamphlet given at Japanese cinemas showing ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' explaining the references in the film, ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' is mentioned in the pages about Toad and it is described as the first 3D action game with Toad as the main character.<ref>{{cite|author=@FarmboyinJapan|date=April 29, 2023|url=x.com/FarmboyinJapan/status/1652295768303366144|title=You were also handed this mini pamphlet of “Game references in the Movie”, that gives extremely basic explanations of what things from the movie originated in what game.|publisher=Twitter|accessdate=June 24, 2024|archive=twitter.com/FarmboyinJapan/status/1652295768303366144}}</ref> In a video posted by [[Nintendo|Nintendo UK]] on {{wp|YouTube}} to promote Nintendo Switch games featuring ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' characters, gameplay of Captain Toad in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' is showcased in the segment about Toad.<ref>{{cite|language=en-gb|date=July 11, 2023|timestamp=0:32|url=youtu.be/7koSokxhXAI?t=32|title=Mario and friends on Nintendo Switch!|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 11, 2023}}</ref>

File:Captain icon.png|Captain Toad icon
When first introduced in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Captain Toad introduces himself as the self-appointed leader of the Toad Brigade much to the disdain of the other members of the Toad Brigade. It is later revealed that the other Toads of the group felt that he was not suitable to be a leader due to his cowardice and his tendency to abandon his team at the first sight of danger. Despite this, Captain Toad values his team deeply and always goes back to help rescue his team with the help of Mario or Luigi regardless of the dangers, though he prefers to avoid direct combat in each instance. Additionally, the other Toads of the brigade do express some form of concern for the captain whenever he goes missing during his various exploration trips around the galaxy and often call for the help of Mario or Luigi to help them look for him at times.

</gallery>
In ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'', Captain Toad is shown to have a close bond with Toadette and appears to enjoy going on expeditions with her. While his greedy desires for treasure do occasionally distract the captain from spending time with Toadette, Captain Toad cares for her as he goes through various dangerous worlds in order to rescue her and their treasure from  Wingo (vise-versa for Toadette herself who returns the favor in rescuing Captain Toad when he's captured). Rare emotions of deep concern for Toadette and frustration are also expressed by Captain Toad during the various cutscenes in the game.
 
Additionally, it appears that the other members of the Toad Brigade have gained further respect for Captain Toad in this title as they trust his decisions in retrieving treasure and are even seen cheering for him whenever Captain Toad clears certain levels. The Toad Brigade will even allow Captain Toad to lead them during certain levels in the game.
