| '''Hint Toad''' is a member of the [[Toad Brigade]], first appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', where he was not given a name until ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. He is a blue [[Toad (species)|Toad]] who wears big, round glasses, without which he cannot see,<ref>{{cite|author=Hint Toad|quote=I can't see a thing without my glasses! I hope they're safe!|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2''}}</ref> making him one of the few Toad Brigade members with a distinct physical trait aside from color, alongside [[Captain Toad]] and [[Toadette]]. He is often characterized as intelligent, knowledgeable, and helpful. | | '''Blue Toad''' is a one of the five members of the [[Toad Brigade]], which act as [[Princess Peach]]'s attendants and royal guards. He is the smartest member of the brigade and often helps [[Mario]] with the use of his knowledge. |
| | |
| Hint Toad is similar to [[Toadbert]], [[Russ T.]] and the [[Toad General]]. They are all glasses-wearing, intelligent Blue Toads.

| | [[Image:Smscast.jpg|thumb|left|150px|'''Blue Toad''' and the rest of the cast from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.]] |
| In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Hint Toad appears as one of the five members in the [[Toad Brigade]]. Eventually, Mario comes along and saves the five Toads (including Hint Toad) in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. Throughout the game, the Toad Brigade attempts to help Mario on his quest by traveling throughout the different galaxies in the search for [[Power Star]]s. In their last appearance in the game, the five Toads are revealed to have been promoted to Royal Guards due to their work of helping Mario.
| | Blue Toad made his debut in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' along with his fellow alternatively [[Mailtoad|colored]] [[Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade)|Toads]] who had went along with [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toadsworth]] on their trip to [[Isle Delfino]]. Blue Toad played a very minor role as he just remained in the Delfino Plaza for nearly the whole game just worrying about the Princess who had been kidnapped. However, he is often seen away from the other Toads and can be found near the lighthouse that contains the portal to [[Gelato Beach]]. He can also be seen enjoying himself along with the other Toads in the ending credits of the game. |
|
| |
|
| Of the Toad Brigade, Hint Toad is shown to be the smartest of the five Toads and provides Mario with some very useful information about the galaxies. To show his intelligence, Hint Toad wears glasses and is known as the "smart one".
| | ====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''==== |
| | [[Image:SMSunshine Toad(species).jpg|thumb|The [[Toads]] before forming the Toad Brigade (Blue Toad is in the middle).]] |
| | Blue Toad made a reappearance in this game as one of the three Toad employees who worked in the Toy store creating [[Mini Mario]] toys. He was working peacefully until [[Donkey Kong]] arrived and had stolen the toys with brute force. Later on, Blue Toad along with the other 2 [[toads]] appear at the scene where Donkey Kong had dropped all the Mini Marios and had started laughing at him along with the others. However in his anger, Donkey Kong kidnaps the Toads and climbs up on the top of a building with the 3 in his arms. Fortunately, [[Mario]] once again manages to defeat the ape and saves Blue Toad and the other 2 Toads. |

| Hint Toad is once again part of the Toad Brigade in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. He, along with the other Toads in the brigade, arrives on [[Starship Mario]] after Mario clears [[Spin-Dig Galaxy]]. Once again, he is the smartest, and often gives Mario hints on how to defeat [[Bowser]]. His speech changes every time Mario clears a world. In the [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]], Hint Toad will be picking at the ground with a pickaxe. He says he lost his glasses, but upon closer examination using the first-person view, he is actually hitting his glasses with his pick.
| | In this game, Blue Toad appears as one of the five members in the [[Toad Brigade]]. He was said to have escaped with the 4 other toads and as well [[Luigi]] from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] into Space however they were soon separated from Luigi. Eventually, Mario came along and saved the 5 Toads (including Blue Toad) in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. Throughout the game, the Toad Brigade attempts to help Mario on his quest by travelling throughout the different galaxies in the search for [[Power Stars]]. In their last appearance in the game, the five Toads are revealed to have been promoted to being Royal Guards due to their work of helping Mario. |
| | |
| After giving the [[Banktoad]] 1,000 Star Bits, he will wear a pair of glasses similar to Hint Toad's pair because he wants to look smart.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
| |
| [[File:MarioAndHintToadSMO.jpg|thumb|left|Mario talking to Hint Toad in the Sand Kingdom.]]
| |
| Hint Toad once again appears in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' as a supporting character, being named as such for the first time. He is performing a survey of [[Power Moon]] locations to help [[Peach]]. If Mario gives Hint Toad 50 [[Coin]]s, he will mark the location of an unobtained Power Moon on the map of the kingdom they are in. There is no limit to how many hints can be given, except for the number of unobtained and unrevealed Power Moons in that kingdom. The row of a revealed Power Moon in the Power Moon List is marked with a Hint Toad icon. Both the hint and this icon disappear once the Power Moon is obtained. Hint Toad does not mark Power Moons that already have their location revealed, and does not start conversations with Mario if there are no hints he can give for Power Moons in a kingdom. Hint Toad always appears alongside [[Uncle amiibo]], another character who helps Mario find Power Moons. Hint Toad only starts appearing after first completing [[Multi Moon Atop the Falls]] in the [[Cascade Kingdom]]. He only appears on the [[Dark Side]] after the objective [[Arrival at Rabbit Ridge!]] is completed and does not appear at all on the [[Darker Side]], but does appear in every other kingdom. He has the same appearance as in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'', but now dons a [[Crazy Cap#Explorer Hat|safari hat]]. The brochure that Hint Toad holds has a map of [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.<ref>https://twitter.com/UndeadBatteries/status/926991088933629952{{dead link}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| Although Hint Toad can already be found in the [[Lost Kingdom]] at the beginning of the area, another blue Toad wearing the Toad Brigade attire can be found near [[Talkatoo]].

| ====''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
| |
| Hint Toad appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' as a playable character in the [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] levels when playing in multiplayer mode. He has the same appearance as in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''. In the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of the game, Hint Toad is found near the peak of [[Mount Magmeow]], trying to outrun a [[Conkdor]] attacking him, much like [[Captain Toad]] in [[Conkdor Canyon]]. Upon defeating the Conkdor, Hint Toad thanks Mario by rewarding him with a [[Cat Shine]]. Visiting [[Fur Step Island]] from then onward show him reunited with [[Toadette]] and the other Toad Brigade members Mario and [[Bowser Jr.]] find.

| |
| [[File:Captain Toad Toad Brigade snooze.png|thumb|250px|Hint Toad with three of the other Toad Brigade members.]]
| |
| Hint Toad appears in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''. He appears in some levels and will give [[Captain Toad]] a [[Super Gem]], [[Super Mushroom]]s, or [[1-Up Mushroom]]s when found. His appearance is similar to how he appeared in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' titles with his signature pair of glasses. However, he now sports an explorer suit and backpack for collecting treasure much like the Captain himself.
| |
| | |
| He also helps the Captain in other missions such as following him around alongside the other members of the Toad Brigade for unlocking various secrets and helping Captain Toad obtain a Power Star. Prior to the final fight against [[Wingo]], Hint Toad tosses a [[Super Mushroom]] to Captain Toad as he climbs to the peak of the tower to fight the bird in order to assist the Captain.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
| |
| Hint Toad has only made cameo appearances in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Hint Toad and the Toad Brigade appear in a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], depicting them with their ''Super Mario Galaxy'' design. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Hint Toad is on the artwork on the Starship Mario [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]].

| | Ever since his debut appearance to the ''Mario'' Series, Blue Toad is often portrayed as to being no different than other members of his [[Toad (species)|species]]. Due to the fact that he is often shown alongside the companionship of other toads, Blue Toad was forced to be given small and generic roles in most of his appearances. However he does show some key differences such as his knowledge which was first seen in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' where he would provide tips to [[Mario]] about the history of [[Isle Delfino]] (this includes the information about [[Yoshis]] once inhabiting the island in large numbers long ago). His intelligence is further proven in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' where he provides many tips for Mario. Also in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Blue Toad appears as a loner as he is often seen isolated from the other toads for unknown reasons for most of the game. |

| | *In ''Super Mario Galaxy'' during some [[Purple Coin]] challenges, the Blue Toad will give the player advice about how to get some hard to reach coins. |
| | *Blue Toad shares many similar characteristics with the characters [[Toadbert]], and [[Russ T.]] as they are all blue-spotted Toads, are intelligent, and wear glasses (though Blue Toad only demonstrates the last two traits in ''Super Mario Galaxy''). |
| | *It is not impossible that the Blue Toad from [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]] is this specific Toad as the two have strong similarities appearance wise. |
| | *In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', after giving the [[Banktoad]] 1000 Star Bits, he will wear a pair of glasses similar to Blue Toad's pair because he wants to look smart. |
| | *How Blue Toad manages to keep his glasses on is unknown, as he has no ears or nose to rest them on. |
