The most recognizable member of the species is the character known as [[Toad]], who is typically depicted as Peach's loyal servant; regardless, Toad has also adventured directly alongside Mario on several adventures since his debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. The character continues to appear as a playable representative for the species in various spin-offs in addition to his own starring roles in 1994's ''[[Wario's Woods (Nintendo Entertainment System)|Wario's Woods]]'' and 1995's ''[[Kinopio Live]]''. Other Toads such as [[Toadette]], [[Toadsworth]], and the [[Toad Brigade]] organization also make prominent appearances throughout the series. Members of this species other than the aforementioned main Toad character may also be referred to as simply "Toad" without the use of an indefinite article, one such instance being found in a [[Don't Fold Under the Pressure!|video]] by [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]], where this name is used to refer to the [[Oarsman]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=November 5, 2020|url=youtu.be/Dk0M2hJRm3Q|title=Test Your 5-Second Focus with Paper Mario: The Origami King|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 5, 2023|quote=Who was sitting the closest to Toad?}}</ref> | The most recognizable member of the species is the character known as [[Toad]], who is typically depicted as Peach's loyal servant; regardless, Toad has also adventured directly alongside Mario on several adventures since his debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

The mushroom retainers reprise their role in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]''. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', there are as many mushroom retainers in the castle as the castle's world number (one in World 1-4, two in World 2-4, etc.). In the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', Worlds A, B, and C have five, six, and seven of them respectively. In the ending cutscene of the original version of ''Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels'' and ''Super Mario Bros. Special'' (and to a lesser extent, ''[[VS.

Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.'', the latter of which replaces all Toads with caricatures of various Japanese celebrities), all seven of the mushroom retainers Mario/Luigi rescued throughout the game can be seen circling Mario/Luigi and the princess, exclaiming "Thank you Mario/Luigi!" in the former. Despite Mario rescuing only three Toads while completing Worlds A-C in ''The Lost Levels'', World D's ending, after rescuing Peach again, will still show seven Toads surrounding Mario/Luigi and Peach like with World 8's ending. Much like the case with Bowser's wristbands, due to the NES only having three colors per sprite, both Peach's and the Toads' eyes are actually depicted as transparent pixels colored black due to the black background used for castle levels, as demonstrated in the aforementioned ending cutscene showing the sky turning blue. | ||

[[Toadette]] also joins the playable roster, making her debut in the ''Super Mario'' series, with the ability to convert some Toads to the player's side to obtain more Toads of their own color before the final tally in Toad Rally. | ||
Generic Toads of Red, Blue, Yellow, Green and Purple colors are seen in '''Kingdom Builder''' populating the places, along with Toad Houses. | |||
The game also features a game mode called '''Toad Rally''', in which players compete against "ghosts" of other players in one-minute runs through randomized levels, with the goal being to collect the most coins and Toads. A Toad is attracted when performing one of the following actions: | |||
* | *rolling jump (jump when the character is rolling after a long fall) | ||
* | *vaulting jump (jump when vaulting) | ||
* | *jumping on more than one enemy without touching the ground in between | ||
* | *wall jumping at least twice on two walls one opposite to the other | ||
*collecting a | *collecting a Pink Coin | ||
*collecting all the | *collecting all the Blue Coins that appear after hitting a P Switch | ||
*jumping in the inside of a | *jumping in the inside of a Fire Chain | ||
*being the first to touch the | *being the first to touch the Checkpoint Flag | ||
While there’s no limit in the amount of obtainable Toads, only the first 30 Toads obtained by each of the two players are shown in the Rally summary. | While there’s no limit in the amount of obtainable Toads, only the first 30 Toads obtained by each of the two players are shown in the Rally summary. | ||
By performing these actions, the player also fills up a meter presented near the top of the screen. Once the meter is filled up (or a Super Star is obtained), the player will temporarily enter a Coin Rush, where objects dispense considerably more coins than normal and enemies supply more coins upon being defeated. The Super Star will also have an additional effect of automatically collecting nearby Coins and Pink Coins for the whole duration of the Coin Rush, beside granting invincibility. Coin Rushes can be prolonged by performing certain actions (the same as those that fill the Coin Rush meter) or collecting coins. | |||
At the end of the one-minute round, both competitors' total number of coins and Toads are compared, giving them a numerical score, which corresponds to the number of Coins collected multiplied by a multiplier that depends on the number of Toads attracted. The player with the higher score wins, resulting in them taking the Toads of the other player. If the player wins the match, they gain the Toads both they and their opponent collected during the match. However, if the player loses, they lose a few of their Toads they had before the match started. Using certain characters can also result in a difference in the amount and variety of Toads gained. If the player plays as one of the [[Yoshi]]s, Toads of the corresponding color are more likely to be attracted. If the player plays as [[Toadette]], the player is able to attract Toads more easily and in the result screen some of the opponent’s Toads will go toward Toadette, raising her Coin multiplier and lowering the opponent’s Coin multiplier. | |||

There is also a Toad called [[Jammin' Toad]], who is seen wearing headphones and listening to music. | ||
Like many of the supporting characters, Toads will cower and refuse to talk to Mario if an enemy gets too close to them, regardless of whether Mario has captured the enemy in question or not. | Like many of the supporting characters, Toads will cower and refuse to talk to Mario if an enemy gets too close to them, regardless of whether Mario has captured the enemy in question or not. | ||

The Toads will follow Luigi through the mansions, but if left alone, they sit idly, crying until Luigi goes near them. They are used to assist Luigi to get through missions: using the [[Poltergust 5000]], he can latch on a Toad's head with {{button|3ds|R}} to carry him or by firing the Toad from the nozzle with {{button|3ds|L}}, the latter which is used for weighing down platforms or accessing alcoves that Luigi can't reach. The Toads can also retrieve treasure and key items for Luigi if they touch it and retrieve it for him. | ||
Each Toad has his own fear, and cannot cross an area that he fears so Luigi must carry him with the Poltergust 5000 to circumvent this. As long as Luigi is escorting a Toad, Luigi cannot enter another room unless the Toad is with him. The Toad assistants also panic if ghosts suddenly appear or from sudden noises, frantically running around a room until the source is dealt with or they are flashed with the [[Strobulb]]; they otherwise cheer for Luigi if he is sucking up ghosts. When dealing with [[Sneaker]]s, the ghosts may capture a Toad if Luigi is capturing another ghost; the plumber must use the Power Gauge to grab the Toad from the Sneaker to release him, but sometimes it will let him go on its own. | Each Toad has his own fear, and cannot cross an area that he fears so Luigi must carry him with the Poltergust 5000 to circumvent this.

In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', each Toad has good running abilities, but their fielding skills are rather weak. In fact, the Purple Toad has the weakest fielding abilities in the game (tied with [[King K. Rool]]). In Challenge Mode, all Toads (even [[Toadsworth]] and [[Toadette]]) are on either [[Princess Peach]] or [[Daisy]]'s team. The Toads share good chemistry with Peach, Toadette, and Toadsworth, [[Pianta]]s, [[Baby Peach]], and certain [[Mii]] characters, and bad chemistry with Bowser, Bowser Jr., [[Goomba]] and [[Paragoomba]].
