The '''Mailtoad''' is a purple [[Toad (species)|Toad]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', who is a member of the [[Toad Brigade]]. Unlike the other Toad Brigade members, Mailtoad is unique in that he periodically delivers messages to Mario in the [[Comet Observatory]] and on [[Starship Mario]]. Once his team is rescued in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]], he will start delivering his mail. He also goes on missions to various other galaxies with the rest of the Toad Brigade. He is the only member of the Toad Brigade that does not return in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', or is playable in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''.

==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:Mailtoadsmg.png|thumb|left|200px|Mailtoad talking to Mario at the Comet Observatory.]]
After the Toad Brigade is rescued by Mario, Mailtoad will have a letter from [[Princess Peach]] containing five [[Extra life|1-Up]]s (or 20 if the player selects [[Luigi]]) every once in a while. He continues to deliver mail to Mario throughout the entire game, and will post certain messages on the [[Wii]] message board. Mailtoad will also give Mario various other letters, such as when Luigi finds a [[Power Star]] and needs rescuing, and Mailtoad includes a picture of where Luigi and the Star are. At the start of the game he is located near the Garage but after Mario gets his second [[Grand Star]] he will have moved near [[Rosalina]].

Along with the other members of the [[Toad Brigade]], Mailtoad can be seen throughout several different galaxies. He seems to have a carefree personality, as seen when Mario first finds the Toad Brigade and he sings cheerfully. Mailtoad apparently enjoys snorkeling, as he can often be found wearing a snorkel and will sometimes be seen underwater. He claims to have a "Level One Snorkel-Toad Certification". In [[Purple Coin]] levels, he will tell Mario if he saw any of the coins underwater or not. He also tries racing the penguins in [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], but fails to win.

When Mailtoad first introduces himself to Mario in the Comet Observatory, he refers to himself as "a mailtoad", implying that there are other Toads with this same job.

After the player has collected all the [[Purple Coin]]s in [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], the Mailtoad will receive a message. If the player talks to him, he will send a congratulatory picture to the [[Wii Message Board]]. This picture differs depending on whether the player spoke to the Mailtoad as Mario or Luigi. If Mario speaks to him, the picture will show Mario and Peach standing on the [[Good Egg Galaxy#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]] of the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] with some Lumas, including [[Luma (character)|Young Master Luma]]. If Luigi speaks to the Mailtoad, the picture will feature Luigi and Rosalina standing in front of [[Peach's Castle]] with the [[Toad Brigade]]. The picture can also be sent to friends.

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
[[File:Mailtoadsmg2.png|thumb|left|200px|Mailtoad and Mario on Starship Mario.]]
Mailtoad stands on [[Starship Mario]], ready to deliver letters whenever Mario returns from a Power Star mission. If Mailtoad has a letter or postcard, a small letter symbol appears over his head. The player needs to speak to Mailtoad to receive the message. Some letters are from Peach and include bonus 1-Up Mushrooms. When Mario receives an invitation for a special event or challenge, Mailtoad also presents this to the plumber. Mailtoad keeps all delivered mail handy, so if Mario ever wants to revisit a past correspondence, he can just speak to the mailtoad, unlike in the first game where past messages from Mailtoad could not be read again.

The Mailtoad will deliver an image to the Wii Message Board if the player beats [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]] and another if the player collects all 242 [[Power Star]]s.

This is a list of all the mail Mailtoad delivers in the game:
{{br|left}}
*1 letter from [[Gold Gearmo]] (known only as "Gearmo"). Informs Mario of the [[C'mere, Goomba]] mission in [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]].
*1 letter from [[Silver Gearmo]] (known only as "Gearmo"). Informs Mario of the [[C'mere, Topman]] mission in [[Space Storm Galaxy]].
*2 letters from [[Black Jibberjay]] (known only as "Jibberjay"). Informs Mario of the [[Jungle Fluzzard Race]] and [[Fastest Feathers in the Galaxy]] missions in [[Wild Glide Galaxy]] and [[Fleet Glide Galaxy]] respectively.
*3 letters from [[The Chimp]]. Informs Mario of the [[The Chimp's Stomp Challenge]], [[The Chimp's Score Challenge]] and [[The Chimp's Coin Challenge]] in [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]], [[Honeyhop Galaxy]] and [[Slimy Spring Galaxy]] respectively.
*1 letter from [[Luigi]]. Informs Mario that he and Luigi can switch between each other in Starship Mario at any time.
*1 letter from [[Rosalina]] (identity not revealed then). The [[1-Up Mushroom]]s received are scaled depending on how many lives the other save files previously lost.
*1 letter from a [[Bee|Honeybee]]. Contains a [[1-Up Mushroom]].
*1 letter from a [[Star Bunny]]. Teaches Mario how to use the Jump and Spin technique.
*5 letters from [[Rosalina]] (identity not revealed then) for the Baby Luma. Each one contains 50 [[Star Bit]]s.
*1 letter from [[Princess Peach]]. It contains 5 [[1-Up Mushroom]]s.

Additionally, if the player loses a certain amount of lives in one save file, then talks to the Mailtoad in another save file, they will receive the same number of 1-Up Mushrooms on the latter save file.

===''Super Mario Odyssey''===

After being absent in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'', Mailtoad returns in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. He runs the [[regional coin]] section of a traveling [[Crazy Cap]] store inside the Toad Brigade's [[Starshroom]], appearing in it along with [[Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade)|Yellow Toad]] in the [[Lost Kingdom]], the [[Moon Kingdom]] and the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]]. He also appears on an expedition to the [[Dark Side]] with the [[Hint Toad|other]] [[Banktoad|Toads]] after the story objective [[Arrival at Rabbit Ridge!]] is complete, where he comments on the many [[rabbit]]s and pieces of [[Hint Art]]. In this game, he wears an exploration outfit and backpack to match the rest of the Toad Brigade, as well as a [[Crazy Cap#Explorer Hat|safari hat]] when on the Dark Side.
