'''Toadies''' are enemies from that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They usually travel in groups of four and are the minions of [[Kamek]] the [[Magikoopa]].

In ''Yoshi's Island'', four red-cloaked Toadies will carry [[Baby Mario]] away if [[Yoshi]] allows him to float free for too long. There were also the seldom seen green [[Solo Toadies]] who would swipe Baby Mario if he fell off Yoshi's back, and another dark pink variety that would swoop in and seize the baby immediately after he was dislodged from Yoshi. Unlike the red Toadies, the Solo Toadies did not fly off to Kamek immediately but would hover around with Baby Mario, making it difficult for Yoshi to get him back.

The Toadies reprised their role in the direct sequel to ''Yoshi's Island'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Serving Kamek who had traveled back in time, the Toadies also kidnap babies from all over the Mushroom Kingdom, including [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Peach]]. Baby Mario's and Baby Peach's captors were attacked by the [[Stork]] who saved them from being kidnapped. Toadies also appeared in the mini-game [[Scratch and Match]], which is featured as a bonus challenge in ''Yoshi's Island'' and ''Yoshi's Island DS''.

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', the Toadies would appear and carry defeated Yoshis off to [[Bowser's Castle]]. In ''Yoshi Touch & Go'', Yoshi must stop the Toadies from stealing Luigi by throwing eggs at them. Small green Solo Toadies also appear as generic enemies in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]''; rather than following a determined path, they would make a beeline for Baby Mario or Yoshi.

The orb item depicting a Toady in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' is incorrectly labeled as "[[Magikoopa]] Orb". This is corrected to "Toady Orb" in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', although the ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' mini-game [[Broom Zoom]] seems to confuse them with Magikoopas again (saying that Toadies use brooms, while it is actually Magikoopas who use them).  In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Toadies run the [[Item Shop|Item Shops]] in [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]].

A group of Toadies appeared in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', assisting Kamek, yet again.

The groups of red Toadies have not been seen to directly attack anything and can not be attacked themselves by Yoshi. However, in the final boss battle in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', they could be accidentally shot down with eggs that were thrown so high they went off-screen. The red Toadies plummeted slowly from the top of the screen to the bottom.

Toadies also appear as Kamek's assistents in the [[Club Nintendo]] comic "[[Mario in Mariozilla]]". They help him invade Mario's garden, but when his plan to shrink Mario fails, they flee. The Toadies are later seen during a fight between Mario and Kamek, supporting the Magikoopa. After Kamek and Mario get shrunk by the abilities of the Magikoopa's broom, some Toadies work together with [[Dr. Light]] and [[Princess Peach]] in order to transform their master back.

In this comic, Toadies looked different from their appearance in the games: their actual eyes and pupils were visible behind their glasses, rather than just the spiral form; their characteristic teeth were missing; they wore armor with round short sleeves instead of their usual robes; and they had fingers.
