They first debut in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'' and have appeared in every subsequent installment of the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]] to date.

| ==History==
| | The success of the Mario Toy Company's earlier toys, the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]]s, was so great that it allowed them to expand to sell other mini toys, including [[Mini Peach]], Mini Toad, and [[Mini Donkey Kong]] toys as well. |

| |
| In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', the success of the Mario Toy Company's earlier toys, the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]]s, was so great that it allowed them to expand and sell other Mini toys, including [[Mini Peach]], [[Mini Donkey Kong]], and Mini Toad.

| Mini Toads are playable characters in this game as well, but only in Special Kit 1 (which is unlocked by completing 3 minigames) for the [[Construction Zone]]. If a Mini Toad comes in contact with a [[Fire Flower]], it will become a [[Fire Mario|Fire Mini Toad]]. | | Mini Toads are playable characters in this game as well, but Special Kit 1 has to be unlocked first in order to use them. If a Mini Toad comes in contact with a [[Fire Flower]], it will become a [[Fire Mini Toad]]. |

|
| ====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!''====
| | Mini Toads appear again in the third installment ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]''. They can be unlocked for use in the main game and in the Construction Zone by beating Rooftop levels 1, 2, 3. |
| Mini Toads appear again in the third installment of the series, ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]''. After beating [[Jungle Rumble]]'s DK level, the Rooftop levels become accessible. Mini Toads are found in the first three levels. After beating them, Mini Toads are unlocked to be used in Construction Mode, where they can be used along with other Minis. They can also be selected to replace Mini Marios in most levels (aside from DK, Key, and Rooftop levels) in the Showroom section of the option menu, but they act the same as the other mini toys. Selecting "Minis" will make Mini Toads appear alongside other Minis. Since each level has at least two minis, Mini Toads will appear in all levels except for the previously mentioned when this option is chosen. | |

| ====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''====
| | [[File:MiniBlueToad.jpg|thumb|left|100px|A blue Mini Toad in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''.]] |
| The Mini Toads reappear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]''. Here, Mini Toad's spots are blue instead of red possibly to reference ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. In the main worlds, it appears in the fourth level of every world in a capsule that another Mini must walk into to break. It becomes available from the start in the Construction Zone to use in the Multi Door option, and can be unlocked for use outside of that option by submitting a level to the Challenge Mode contest or making 20 submittable levels. In plus mode, Mini Toads appear in many levels alongside other minis, and they must be taken to the goal in the right order. | | The Mini Toads reappear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]''. They will be playable as in the other games of the series. Additionally, the Mini Toads are the second type of Minis that the player encounters during gameplay (the first being the Mini Marios). However, a key difference is that the spots on the Mini Toads' heads are shown to be blue instead of red in this game, giving them a coloration very similar to [[Blue Toad]] or Toad's original coloration from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. In ''Mini-Land Mayhem'', Mini Toads was most likely given blue instead of red spots for two reasons: |
| | #Blue Toad was a playable character in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. |
| | #Mini-Mario's exit was already red, so Mini-Toad had to get a different color. |
|

|
| ====''Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move''==== | | ==Trivia== |
| Mini Toads once again appear in ''[[Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move]]''. In this game, the Mini Toads retain their blue coloration from ''Mini-Land Mayhem!''. Mini Toads are unlocked as playable characters by unlocking the Many Mini Mayhem mode in the main game. After this, Mini Toads can be used in any of the game's levels. A Mini Toad is also unlockable as one of the toys in the Toy Collection, earned by collecting 30 stars.
| | *Strangely, they are the only mini toy without a wind-up key and legs. In ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!'', however, they do have a wind-up key. |

| ====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars''====

| |
| Mini Toads reappear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]''. They function in the same way as in previous games. In the Main Game, they are first found in [[Runaway Warehouse]] in Level 3-2. They appear afterwards in many other levels, such as every Multi-Door level after Runaway Warehouse. They are also common in the Bonus Levels.
| |
| | |
| To use them for the Workshop, the player must buy them in the [[Winding Ravine]] section of the [[Workshop Store]] for 25 stars.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge''====
| |
| Mini Toad returns in ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]''. It can be unlocked via a [[Toad]] [[amiibo]]. In this game, Mini Toad reverts to its original color scheme, and it is now a wind-up toy like the rest of the cast. Mini Toad's unique ability is reduce its size by inserting its body into its head and then crawling on its head, which allows it to pass through narrow passages that other Minis cannot access.

| |
| Mini Toads appear in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' in the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC and in the base game of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', present in the background near the [[Finish Line (object)|start/finish line]] in {{classic-link|GBA|Ribbon Road}}. They take on their original, pre-''Mini-Land Mayhem!'' red color scheme, and their bodies appear to be made of wood. This marks the only appearance of Mini Toads (or any Mini character) in the ''Mario Kart'' series.
