'''Captain Toad''', originally known as the '''Toad Brigade Captain''',<ref>[[Search for the Toad Brigade Captain]]</ref> is a character who first appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. A red [[Toad (species)|Toad]] with an oversized backpack and a headlamp, the former prohibiting 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 ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. He subsequently appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' as a playable character in special levels known as [[Captain Toad's Adventures]]. Captain Toad earns a starring role in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', which revolves around a tale of the hard-working Toad going out of his way to stop [[Wingo]], a massive bird, from taking away both his treasure and his friend [[Toadette]].

[[File:SMG Talking to Captain Toad.png|thumb|250px|right|[[Mario]] meeting the Toad Brigade Captain and the [[Toad Brigade]] in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]]]

The Toad Brigade Captain debuts as the self-proclaimed captain of the [[Toad Brigade]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. In this game, he appears to be one of the few to have escaped the destruction of [[Mushroom Kingdom]], along with his fellow Toad Brigade members and [[Luigi]]. The Toads soon lose Luigi in space, and soon all of them find themselves in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. [[Mario]] eventually finds the Toads and rescues them. If Mario is [[Bee Mario]], the Toad Brigade Captain becomes frightened at first, though quickly recognizes him. He rewards Mario with the first [[Power Star]] of that galaxy.

As thanks, the Toad Brigade Captain and his brigade attempt to help Mario on his quest by going adventuring alongside him. Sometimes, the Toad Brigade Captain even finds a [[Power Star]] for Mario. The Toad Brigade Captain's headlamp can also be used to defeat [[Boo]]s by shining his headlamp at them. To follow the hero, the Toad Brigade Captain uses a special spaceship called the [[Starshroom]] to provide him and his brigade with transportation while traveling through the galaxies. Generally, the Toad Brigade Captain appears to want to help [[Mario]] but is sometimes cowardly and lazy throughout the adventure. Despite his cowardliness, the Toad Brigade Captain 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. In the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], it is revealed that the Toad Brigade has been appointed Royal Guards, with the captain as the Royal Guard Commander.

[[File:Deep Shell Well.png|thumb|250px|right|The Toad Brigade Captain presenting Mario with a [[Power Star]] in the [[Slimy Spring Galaxy]]]]

The Toad Brigade Captain reappears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. He is first met by [[Mario]] in the mission, "[[Digga-Leg's Planet]]" where he warns Mario about the "scary monster", [[Digga-Leg]]. After getting the [[Power Star]], the Toad Brigade Captain and the other members of the Toad Brigade decide to assist Mario throughout the game, and they use their Starshroom to follow [[Starship Mario]] around the galaxies. It is revealed that in this game, the Toad Brigade Captain and the other members of the Toad Brigade had asked the [[Luma (species)|Luma]]s to help them build the Starshroom 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 [[Bowser]].

 

Very much like in the first game, the Toad Brigade Captain is loyal to his friends, but cowardly. He can also be seen daydreaming in various areas about resting up instead of adventuring. However, the Toad Brigade Captain does occasionally get to be successful as he sometimes finds a few Power Stars for Mario (though he often needs to find the Toad Brigade Captain in the level to obtain the Power Star). For instance, in the [[Slimy Spring Galaxy]], in the mission "[[The Deep Shell Well]]", the Toad Brigade Captain manages to snatch the star from the end of the level before Mario arrives. However, after obtaining the Power Star, the Toad Brigade Captain accidentally falls inside a chest that locked him inside. After 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.

The Toad Brigade Captain, now renamed simply Captain Toad, is seen in a series of courses throughout ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ,''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', 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 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 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]]''.

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]] 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.

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 all, 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.

[[File:CaptainToadMarioMaker.png|thumb|right]]

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.

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''. 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''.

To commemorate ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'''s release on the [[Nintendo Switch]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]],<ref>[https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/1017215464273899522 Hint Art tweet by official Japanese ''Super Mario Odyssey'' Twitter]</ref> Captain Toad could also be found through all released extra [[Hint Art]] in his sprite form from ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', which replaced the usual [[Luigi]] sprite until August 8, 2018.<ref>[https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/1020062223912357889 Captain Toad tweet by official Japanese ''Super Mario Odyssey'' Twitter]</ref>

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 they do not require 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 ''Mario'' characters, Legendary Explorer does not use the same speech pattern as Captain Toad himself in the Japanese version.

Captain Toad stars in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' as the primary protagonist. 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 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.

In [[Episode 1]], Captain Toad's journey begins when [[Toadette]] shows him a [[Power Star]] she found on the top of a level. However, both [[Toad (species)|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 backwards; 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 [[Wingo's Watchtower]] where Wingo holds Toadette hostage.

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.

In [[Episode 2]], 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.  

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.

[[File:PurpleToad CTTT.png|thumb|100px|right|Purple Captain Toad]]

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 [[Clear Pipe|pipe]]. Thus, this begins Captain Toad's adventures within ''Super Mario 3D World''. In the [[Nintendo Switch|Switch]] and [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] versions, the cutscene is altered where he instead notices the [[Odyssey]] travelling overhead, thus continuing his adventures in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.

As of the 1.1.0 update of the Nintendo Switch version, a palette swap of Captain Toad called "'''Purple Captain Toad'''"<ref>@NintendoAmerica. (March 13, 2019). [https://twitter.com/nintendoamerica/status/1105544188995592192 ''"Purple Captain Toad is ready for two-player Partner Adventure for every level in #CaptainToad: Treasure Tracker!

Like its name suggests, it is a purple version of him with a purple cap similar to that of a [[Poison Mushroom]], a purple scarf and purple shoes instead of red ones.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====

Captain Toad is mentioned in Toad's trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', while in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Captain Toad and the Toad Brigade make an appearance as a trophy. The Toad Brigade trophy is depicted in the style of how the Toads appeared within the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games.

Captain Toad makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' on the [[New Donk City Hall (stage)|New Donk City Hall]] stage, standing near the top of the building.<ref>[https://www.smashbros.com/assets_v2/img/stage/stage_main01.jpg]</ref> He also appears in this game as an Ace-class Grab-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], obtainable by enhancing [[Toad]]'s spirit at level 99. When equipped, items gravitate towards the fighter.

Three different [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]]s appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' appear that depict Captain Toad upon scanning the Toad amiibo.

Captain Toad makes his ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series debut as a tour-exclusive High-End driver in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', introduced as the Week 1 Spotlight driver for the [[Exploration Tour]]. His [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]] is the [[Hammer]].

===Other appearances===

Captain Toad makes a few cameo appearances (in puppet form) via the video series ''[[The Cat Mario Show]]'' that feature on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and Wii U's eShop. Additionally, a collectible stamp of Captain Toad's appearance from the show can also be unlocked in the 3DS [[Nintendo Badge Arcade]] for ''The Cat Mario Show'' theme.

In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Captain Toad appears as a playable skin. His artwork in the game is a ''Minecraft''-esque rendering of his artwork from ''Super Mario 3D World''.

Captain Toad is a member of the [[Toad (species)|Toad]] species, and as such, is short, 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, and a headlamp, which distinguishes him from his fellow Toad Brigade members as their captain. Captain Toad can defeat [[Boo]]s and [[Peepa]]s simply by shining the light from his leadlamp at them for a moment, similar to [[Light Box]]es.

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 - 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 Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Captain Toad has a more subdued color scheme than in the ''Mario'' games, while his outfit appears to be more detailed.

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 sometimes 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. Despite his tendency to land himself into trouble, Captain Toad 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, Captain Toad is seen to be highly resourceful in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' titles. 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-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.

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]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and [[Rosalina]] with Green Stars or even [[coin]]s and [[Power-Up]]s when encountered.  

Captain Toad also has a bit of a greedy side, as it seems 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 (which explains how he got there in the first place in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''). 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>  

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 in his appearances in ''Super Mario 3D World'' courses (often requiring one of the other playable characters to help him out).

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, confusion arose 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>[http://web.archive.org/web/20170202063331/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/replies/AYMHAAACAAADVHhqTRtYFw Comment on Miiverse] as part of an interview with producer [[Koichi Hayashida]] (posted December 6, 2014).

Retrieved September 3, 2020.</ref>

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.

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 (as evidenced in the ending of the game where Captain Toad is seen chasing after the green stars that fall from the sky after rescuing Toadette), Captain Toad does genuinely care for her as he goes through various dangerous worlds in order to rescue her and their treasure from the clutches of 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 even go to the point of allowing Captain Toad to lead them during certain levels; thus, showing off their agreement in seeing Captain Toad as the true leader of the group.

'''Toad's Collectible Card bio:''' "''Toad is Princess Peach's closest confidant and sworn protector. Typically Toad is a happy character, as seen by the constant smile on his face. But now he has reason to be concerned. His beloved princess has been kidnapped by Bowser, and Toad will stop at nothing to help find her. Just when all is feared lost, Toad and his friends appear in their Mushroom-shaped ships and help guide Mario on his quest to save Princess Peach.''"
