Editing Red Rescue Squad Apprentice Toad

{{character infobox

This [[Toad (species)|Toad]] is first found in front of the [[Old Sacred Tree]] in the [[Sacred Forest]]. He has come to wish for help joining the [[Rescue Squad]], as well as to admire its size. When he turns around and spots [[Mario]], he initially assumes that the plumber has become much larger, until [[Huey]] explains that he has actually been sized down. He asks them to help him return to normal and then heads to the Rescue Squad headquarters in [[Port Prisma]], made more difficult by his smaller legs.

When Mario arrives at the station, the Toad has already started introducing himself to the [[Rescue Squad Chief]], describing himself as small but fierce. However, the chief explains that it would be dangerous for him with his size, much to his dismay. He responds by running away and attaching himself to a nearby wall, weeping over his rejection. Mario must activate the [[Cutout]] here and use the [[Magnifying Glass (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|Magnifying Glass]] to properly restore the Toad's size. He notices a difference right away, and now believes that Mario has shrunk as well. Huey explains that the Toad has returned to normal, much to his excitement.

He runs back to the chief, who is shocked by his quick return. However, he keeps his word and makes the Toad the newest recruit to the red Rescue Squad. Although he does not receive the official uniform, he is given a pink scarf to identify himself. The chief explains that he will start out small and move on to better things, much to both of their excitement. If [[Rescue Red]] has not been rescued yet, the apprentice waits close to the chief until he shows up.
