'''Toodles''' is a wealthy [[Toad (species)|Toad]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' who has a summer home in [[Poshley Heights]]. She likes to flaunt her wealth by wearing expensive fur dresses and luxurious jewelry. It is unknown how Toodles amassed her fortune; however, the game indicates that she is a gold digger, using her physical attractiveness to leech off the wealth of men. 

Toodles' name might be a pun of "toodles", another way to say goodbye stereotypically associated with posh or wealthy people, especially women.
==History==
[[Mario]] meets Toodles in the lobby of the [[Glitz Pit]] in [[Glitzville]], where she is looking for the current champion to flirt with him, ignoring Mario at first; however, once Mario claims that title for himself, Toodles's flirtatious advances shift towards him.

Mario encounters Toodles again in Cabin 002 of the [[Excess Express]] during his quest for the [[Garnet Star]] in [[Poshley Heights]]. The drawer in her bedside table is filled with "giant mounds of cosmetics", speaking to her passion for beauty. During the three-day trip, her [[Gold Ring (item)|Gold Ring]] is stolen by [[Doopliss]] (disguised as [[Zip Toad]]) and she asks Mario to locate it. The [[Three Shadows]] plan to use the ring, along with the [[Excess Express waitress|waitress]]'s [[Shell Earrings]] and the [[Nitro Honey Syrup]] from the [[Businessman|businessman's]] [[briefcase]], to bomb the train. This would fulfill the "sticky, yummy doom" Mario was warned of in an effort to prevent him and his partners from reaching the Star. Mario eventually catches the fake Zip Toad, who reluctantly relinquishes the stolen items, including the Gold Ring. When Mario returns the ring to Toodles, she rewards him with thirty [[coin]]s, which she refers to merely a "trifle" to someone like herself.

After her ring is returned, she offers to chat with Mario once the train has made a stop at [[Riverside Station]]; she choses to stay in her cabin instead of go outside.  When she hears of his interest in the Garnet Star, she reveals it is kept in [[Poshley Sanctum]]. She keeps a summer home in Poshley Heights near the sanctum to escape the bustle of city life.  She invites Mario to visit and chat with her at her summer home after their trip has ended, though doing so yields no special reward. By the end of the day, she is eager to get beauty sleep to avoid developing wrinkles.

At the start of the third day, Toodles, along with the other passengers and staff, goes missing, being absorbed into a hoard of [[Smorg]]s that attacks the train. Mario eventually defeats the Smorgs, causing them to blow away in the wind. After the incident, Toodles safely arrives at her summer home in Poshley Heights.  The lavish home is decorated with expensive furniture and what appears to be a solid gold ceiling fan.

When [[Bowser]] and [[Kammy Koopa]] visit Poshley Heights during the intermission after Chapter 7, Bowser can optionally talk to Toodles, who expresses her desire to mount his "terribly fine horns" in her foyer to highlight her social status, which Bowser rejects in disgust.

Toodles is apparently friends with [[Jolene]], the current manager of the [[Glitz Pit]]. In her [[I need my magazine.|trouble]], Toodles asks for Mario to return the [[Wrestling Magazine]] that she loaned to Jolene.

While Mario battles the [[Shadow Queen]], Toodles cheers for him, and points out to [[Pennington]] that the hero he is supporting is Mario, not [[Luigi]].
