The '''Guide Toad''' is a character in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. He is a cheerful green [[Toad (species)|Toad]] holding a green flag and a green book. He appears immediately after [[Mario]] has unlocked [[Ruddy Road]] and returned to [[Port Prisma]], at which point he is already situated just outside the exit tunnel. The first time Mario speaks to the Guide Toad, he tells him about accessing a map of Port Prisma via the manual. He then claims he is good with directions, inquiring if Mario would like to know more about a specific district.

Mario may ask about the red district, blue district, yellow district, or none of the above. When inquired, the Guide Toad gives Mario a brief rundown of the chosen district, mentioning the most important locations in each one.

One of [[Huey]]'s hints mentions a Toad holding a flag near the town entrance in the red district, suggesting they talk to him for help with navigation. This of course refers to the Guide Toad.

Guide Toad has various [[List of Paper Mario: Color Splash pre-release and unused content|unused]] recolors within the data of ''Paper Mario: Color Splash''. Although he does not return in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', [[List of Paper Mario: The Origami King pre-release and unused content|unused]] redrawn versions of his sprites can be found among other graphics of characters exclusive to Port Prisma, including recolors and back sprites.
