| '''Friendly Floyd''' is a salesman and recurring character in ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]''.

|
| Friendly Floyd first appears when [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] arrive in [[Yoshi Village]], where he has been trying to sell items such as toothbrushes and lightbulbs to the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], which they have no use for. He explains to the brothers that [[Bowser]] has kidnapped several of the villagers and sealed [[Yoshi]] himself in an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] when he attempted to fight back. Mario tries to hire him as their translator for the Yoshis, but Floyd declines, instead selling them ''ACME's Yoshi Language Learner'' for 3,000 coins. The Mario Bros. claim it is a rip-off, so he lowers the price to 10 coins since they were friends of Yoshi (the book, however, reveals that every word and phrase translates to "Yoshi"). | | '''Friendly Floyd''' is a character from the [[Super Mario Adventures]] comic strip that was featured in ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' magazine in [[1992]], which was later released as graphic novel. |

| In a later part, Floyd appears in [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s dream, in which he is the priest marrying the princess to Mario.
| | [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] first bumped into Friendly Floyd at [[Yoshi Village]], where he had been trying to sell [[items]] such as toothbrushes and lightbulbs to the Yoshis, which they had no use for. There he told the Bros. that [[Bowser]] had kidnapped several of the villagers and had sealed Yoshi in an egg when he attempted to fight back. Mario tried to hire him to act as their tranlator, so they could understand what Yoshi was saying. However, Floyd declined, but he did sell them a "Yoshi Language Learner" and took off (Unfortunately, every word or phrase in the book translated into the word "Yoshi".). |

| Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and [[Toad]] run into Floyd again while he is trying to sell lipstick to a [[Piranha Plant]]. He tries to sell his new makeup line to the group, which instead gives Luigi the idea to impersonate Princess Toadstool and give himself up to Bowser to save Mario. Floyd also supplies [[Bomb (object)|bombs]] to the group, and he tries to sell medical supplies to the [[Koopalings]] as Yoshi defeats them. After the tower is blown up and everyone lands in the forest, Floyd parts with the group again.
| | Later, The Bros., Yoshi and [[Toad]] ran into Friendly Floyd again when he was trying to sell lipstick to a [[Piranha Plant]]. He was convinced by Luigi to help them defeat The [[Koopalings]]. He supplied bombs to the group and helped in the battle too. Later on when [[Princess Peach]] blew up Bowser's Tower he, after saying goodbye, took off again. |
