U]]'', and has also appeared in other games.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Small Yellow Toad Render.png|frame|left]]

Yellow Toad appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' for the first time as a main hero and a playable character. Yellow Toad, alongside [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]], attends [[Princess Peach]]'s birthday, in where [[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]] kidnap Princess Peach using a cake. The four venture out through eight world to rescue the princess and defeat Bowser and his minions. After rescuing Peach, Yellow Toad rides on a hot air balloon alongside Blue Toad. They later invite Luigi to ride in their balloon for the journey back to [[Peach's Castle]] after he was left behind by his own balloon, sailing off with Mario and Princess Peach onboard.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Yellow Toad makes his next appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. He regains his role as one of the main protagonists of the game along with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]]. As of this game, his voice lines are swapped with Blue Toad's when compared to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.

Within the game's introduction sequence, Yellow Toad is first seen alongside Blue Toad, the Mario Bros., and [[Princess Peach]] attending a lunch at the [[Peach's Castle]]. However, their peaceful meal is soon disturbed by the sudden appearance of multiple [[airship]]s consisting of [[Bowser]] and the [[Koopalings]]. Using a [[Mecha Hand|giant mechanical arm]] (which extended itself from Bowser's airship into the main hall of Peach's Castle where the heroes were taking their lunch), Bowser pulled away Peach's chair from harm and instead aimed a mighty punch at Yellow Toad and his other three friends (causing them to be knocked out). Seizing the opportunity, Bowser used the mechanical arm to scoop up Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, and the Mario Bros., and threw the heroes far across the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Upon crashing into the [[Super Acorn]] Tree (consisting of many [[Super Acorn]]s) and falling back to the ground with a powerful force, the four heroes soon get up and see [[Peach's Castle]] getting invaded by Bowser's forces in the far distance. Deciding to take action against Bowser and his minions, Yellow Toad and his friends run across the plains in the start of a new adventure.

Yellow Toad reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. In this game, he is referred to as simply "Toad" and can be switched with Blue Toad when holding L or ZL (SL when playing with a single Joy-Con).

=====''New Super Luigi U''=====
Yellow Toad returns as a playable character within the multiplayer mode of the expansion pack game ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. Very much like in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', Yellow Toad journeys through the Mushroom Kingdom to save Princess Peach once again along with the help of [[Luigi]], [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]], and [[Nabbit]]. Yellow Toad is affected by Luigi's distinct physics, having higher jumps yet lower traction. Yellow Toad also [[scuttle]]s, much like the other playable characters.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:SMK 41.png|thumb|upright=0.66|Propeller Yellow Toad on the cover of the 41st issue of ''Super Mario-kun'']]
Yellow Toad along with Blue Toad are featured in the forty first and forty second issues of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. As the story is based on ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', the two Toads are introduced as Mario's new accomplices. Throughout the adaption of the two issues, Yellow Toad plays an important role by journeying alongside Mario, Luigi, and Blue Toad on their quest to rescue [[Princess Peach]] from [[Bowser]] and his forces.

Both Yellow Toad and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] are seen in their propeller forms on the cover of issue 41.

===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===
Yellow Toad appears on four [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Character Cards]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''.

===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
In ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', Yellow Toad is a playable character in soccer and baseball in his [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel]] and [[Penguin Mario|Penguin]] forms respectively. He also appears in two different [[List of Mario Sports Superstars digital cards|collectible cards]] in these forms.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
The Flying Squirrel Toad [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' uses the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' artwork of Yellow Toad's Flying Squirrel form.

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
{{main|Penguin Mario#Mario Kart Tour{{!}}Penguin Mario § Mario Kart Tour}}
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Penguin [[Toad]] utilizes the same color scheme seen in Yellow Toad's Penguin form from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games.

===''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''===
Yellow Toad returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.

===Other appearances===
Yellow Toad and the other ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' heroes were shown as some of the featured characters in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] tech demo. He was shown wearing the [[Propeller Mario|Propeller Suit]] in the demo as like in the original game's box art. The 3DS tech demo screen of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' (featuring Yellow Toad and his friends) is later an obtainable puzzle in the Puzzle Swap mode of [[Nintendo 3DS#StreetPass Mii Plaza|StreetPass Mii Plaza]].

Yellow Toad, along with Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad and [[Mii]]s, are also seen as playable characters in the [[Wii U]] tech demo ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Mii]]''.

Yellow Toad alongside Blue Toad, Mario, Luigi, the Koopalings, and various other characters from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' made cameo appearances in the Wii game ''[[wikipedia:Taiko no Tatsujin Wii: Minna de Party Sandaime|Taiko no Tatsujin Wii: Minna de Party Sandaime]]'' where the characters can be seen dancing to the various tracks featured in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.

While Yellow Toad is absent from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' (as he was replaced by [[Princess Peach]] in those games), when [[Toad]] grabs a Fire Flower, he uses the same color scheme as Fire Yellow Toad.

==General information==
===Personality===
Unlike the other Toads in the game (with the exception being [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]]), Yellow Toad is shown to be an extremely noble character as seen in the intro of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' where he ran right after the Mario Bros. to help them on their quest to save [[Princess Peach]]. He even went on to fighting the several bosses in the game including [[Bowser]] himself at the end (something that most Toads would rarely do considering their fear over Bowser).

===Speech===
In comparison to Blue Toad, Yellow Toad has a much higher pitched voice that is very much like the voice that the [[Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade)|Yellow Toad]] of the [[Toad Brigade]] had in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', who also sounded higher pitched in comparison to the other Toads in the game. However, since ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', the voices of Yellow Toad and Blue Toad were changed, with Blue Toad having a higher pitched voice while Yellow Toad has a lower pitched voice.

===Abilities===
[[File:Fireyellowtoad.png|frame]]
[[File:NSMBU Flying Squirrel Yellow Toad Artwork.png|thumb|left|Yellow Toad in his Flying Squirrel form in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'']]
As with the other playable characters, Yellow Toad demonstrates an extremely versatile moveset, consisting of traditional moves such as the [[Ground Pound]], [[Spin Jump]], and [[Wall Jump]] in addition to simpler moves. Regardless of his size, he is able to pick up and carry heavy items and objects as well as other characters with unlimited stamina. He is able to any use items the other characters are capable of using and interact with these characters. His stats are balanced so as not to provide an advantage.

Regardless of his current power-up and item inventory, Yellow Toad usually retains some yellow in his color scheme. His Propellor Suit, for instance, is yellow, as well as his Squirrel Suit. Any additional outfits he dons also tend to feature his emblem on the side.

Any items and power-ups added throughout the series are available for Yellow Toad, giving him the abilities as they would any other character.
