| | '''Rings''' are the primary collectibles in the ''{{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog}}'' series. They are intended to be collected by [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], attributing to the gimmicks of the game, in a similar way to [[Mario]] collecting [[coin]]s in his games. Similar to coins, rings are typically golden, shiny, and small, allowing Sonic to easily and quickly collect them. Although they are featured prominently in a variety of ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' installments, rings tend to make little appearance in the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series, aside from occasionally being involved in the gimmicks of an event or serving their traditional role as collectibles. |
| The '''Attack Piece Toad''' is a character in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. He is a red [[Toad (species)|Toad]] with an interest in [[Attack Piece]]s. He is found in [[Mushrise Park]], where he provides two [[Attack Piece]]s along with an explanation on how they are used. Later on, he is found in a hotel in [[Wakeport]], although he is not immediately recognized.

| ==History== | | ==''Mario & Sonic'' series== |
| This [[Toad (species)|Toad]] is met in the foyer of [[Peach's Castle]], appearing after [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] have departed from [[Twinsy Tropics]] following their first visit to the area. Once they have entered, a red Toad panics over what is to be done, asking them for suggestions. Monologue Toad, standing next to him, snaps him out of it. He tells the trio his friend is too distraught to speak for himself and proceeds to explain for him. Notably, he tells them to listen carefully to his following text and not to skim through it, alluding to the fast-forward button.
| | ===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''=== |
| | | Rings are surprisingly sparse in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', though they are featured in the [[Dream Long Jump (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games)|Dream Long Jump]] event, albeit larger and with a different function. The player is intended to guide their character through as many as possible, each providing a brief burst of speed, seeming to do so with a small gust of wind. Otherwise, rings have no purpose in the game, with [[coin]]s typically used as collectibles during the minigames. Notably, the sounds which play when the player traces a figure in the [[Vault (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for DS)|Vault]] event are the same sounds traditionally played when rings are collected. |
| With this matter clarified, the Toad proceeds to give his story. According to him, he was on [[Mount Brrr]] and noticed [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Paper Bowser Jr.]] taking both [[Princess Peach]] and [[Paper Peach]] with them. To summarize, he tells the trio Mount Brrr would be their next destination. Right after this, a cutscene plays to determine this. Once the cutscene has played, the Toad reiterates the move and his disbelief to [[Bowser]] having a villa.

| | |
| Suddenly, he collapses on the nearby floor, envisioning the princesses in great distraught and disbelief, with both Bowser Jrs. acting ungrateful. He claims this to be a fate worse than death and vows that Bowser will be stopped. Only after he states this does he realize he slowly strayed from the others during his extensive monologue, all of whom have left. With [[Toadette]] and the gang now in front of the castle, the Monologue Toad can be heard moaning at a nearby window. As they are discussing their plans to get to Mount Brrr, the Toad suddenly dashes out of the castle, vowing to find the princesses, or at least his princess, himself.

| | |
| Unexpectedly, this Toad is encountered again shortly on. He is seen narrowly running from [[Paper Petey Piranha]] in front of the path leading to the mountain. After he ends up in his grip, the Toad decides to explain the predicament once more. This time, he directly tells them not to fast forward through his text, with a message on the screen serving as a reminder. He then proceeds to go on a soap box rant. He begins by telling them they had battled a different [[Petey Piranha]]. He seems to stray from this topic, citing the arrival of the paper characters and eventually listing some of the trio's best features. He ponders whether they will be able to save the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. As he is wondering his own fate, Paper Petey Piranha tosses him out of sight. He is never seen or mentioned again after this.
