'''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.

I hope they're safe!''" - ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''</ref> Hint Toad is one of the few Toad Brigade members with a distinguished design feature, along [[Captain Toad]] and [[Toadette]]. He is often characterized as intelligent and helpful.
 
Hint Toad is similar to [[Toadbert]], [[Russ T.]] and the [[Toad General]]. They are all glasses-wearing, intelligent Blue 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.

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.

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>
Hint Toad once again appears in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' as a supporting character, being named as such for the first time. He appears alongside [[Uncle amiibo]] to help Mario locate [[Power Moon]]s scattered in every kingdom. Unlike Uncle amiibo, he charges Mario 50 yellow coins for every Power Moon location. 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]].


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]].
In the [[Lost Kingdom]], another blue Toad wearing the Toad Brigade attire can be found near [[Talkatoo]]; however, this is most likely a mistake as the only blue Toad in the Brigade is Hint Toad, who is seen in the beginning of the stage instead and always wears glasses, unlike this Toad.

==Trivia==
*Hint Toad shares many similar characteristics and looks similar to the characters [[Toadbert]], [[Russ T.]] and the [[Toad General]] as they are all glasses-wearing blue-colored Toads that are intelligent.
*In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', 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.
*In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', 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 ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', the guide that Hint Toad holds has a map of [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.<ref>https://twitter.com/UndeadBatteries/status/926991088933629952</ref>
