Justice Toad

Template:Character-infobox Justice Toad is a red Toad and one of the three Chosen Toads in Paper Mario: Color Splash. He first appears in Cherry Lake, but later moves to The Crimson Tower and stays there for the rest of the game.

History

Justice Toad is first seen hanging onto one of Bowser's airships at Port Prisma, moments before Mario and Huey grab the Mini Red Paint Star. When he is seen again, Justice Toad's grip finally gives out as soon as Mario and Huey arrive at the entrance of Cherry Lake. Justice Toad is later seen in the level hanging onto a tree whilst a Fan blows continual gusts of wind, making it difficult to get to the Toad unless Mario squeezes the Fan into a card. After this is finished, Mario then knocks the Toad out of the tree and soon after, Justice Toad quickly hides behind a bush next to a tree as he has only his undergarments on at the moment, as his clothes and Journal were blown away by the airship he was clinging onto prior the meeting.

Justice Toad then explains his reason for clinging onto the airship: he wanted to teach those who were stealing paint from areas a lesson. After introducing himself to Mario and Huey, he then requests that Mario find his belongings which are the following:

	Toad's Shoes - In the second part of Cherry Lake, Justice Toad's shoes can be found within a bush shortly after obtaining a second Card slot from a Soggy Guy that Mario saved from a Shy Guy 4-Stack.
	Toad's Pants - In the third part of Cherry Lake, Justice Toad's pants can be found by going under the dock with a water-wheel, going through the opening in the wheel, and knocking the pants down from the tree.
	Hero's Journal - North of Justice Toad's hiding place, and left of the entrance of the screen, there is a Pry Guy who is snooping through the contents of Justice Toad's journal. All Mario has to do to obtain it is defeat the Pry Guy.
	Toad's Vest - East from Justice Toad's hiding place, southeast and further along south is an area with a water-wheel which is not operational as a Blue Slurp Guy is draining the stream of its' color without stop. After Mario manages to navigate the docks and get to the Blue Slurp Guy and defeat him, the stream will flow and from there, Mario is able to reach the Toad's Vest by jumping down from the water-wheel's cliff and hopping across a piece of flotsam. In this same area is a Blue Mini Paint Star, however Mario and Huey will not be able to reach it without Justice Toad's help.

After returning all of Justice Toad's belongings to him, he will then go to the area where his vest once was and assist them in reaching the Blue Mini Paint Star. At first glance, it appears that Justice Toad is full of hot air in saying he could make the star easier to reach, but out comes the key shaped apparatus attached to his head and Justice Toad uses telekinesis to move the Blue Mini Paint Star, and it turns out that he was also unaware of his own powers. After this, Justice Toad then takes off for Crimson Tower's gate.

Even after gathering the three Chosen Toads together, it turns out the job is not quite done yet. In order to open the gate, Mario needs to hammer them into their keyholes. After Mario does this, the gate opens and it appears that they are gone. However, this is not so; they are still alive and are able to communicate through the small holes on the gate. They then encourage Mario to go after the Red Big Paint Star. They're seen again at the Port Prisma festival after Mario defeats Morton Koopa Jr. and reacquires the red Big Paint Star, and once more after the defeat of Black Bowser at the Port Prisma celebration.
