-'''{{wp|Mojo Nixon}}''' (born '''Neill Kirby McMillan, Jr.'''; August 2, 1957 – February 7, 2024) was an American musician. He retired from the music business in 2004, briefly putting his retirement on pause for the release of a solo album in 2009. In recent years, he hosted several {{wp|Sirius Satellite Radio}} shows, and on occasion has performed for special one-time events.
-As an actor, he played the role of [[Toad (film character)|Toad]]'s [[Dinohattanite]] form in the 1993 [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]]. Toad's character in the film is a music-driven political critic of [[President Koopa]] who briefly performs an anti-Koopa song upon first meeting [[Mario (film character)|Mario]] and [[Luigi (film character)|Luigi]]. Mojo Nixon uploaded an extended two minute version of this song on his personal YouTube channel in 2012.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWJy7_lJs0o&ab_channel=MojoNixon Mojo Nixon - King Koopa / Demo for the Super Mario Bros. movie soundtrack - 1993]. ''YouTube''.</ref> Toad's [[Goomba (film species)|Goomba]] form seen later in the film is instead played by John Fifer, though the film still pays homage to Toad's musician roots by equipping him with a harmonica. On February 7, 2024, he died from a cardiac arrest.
