| |
| Yellow Toad, supposedly nicknamed Ala-Gold by Nintendo developers<ref name="kombo_bucken">Oxford, David. [http://wii.kombo.com/article.php?artid=15203 New Super Mario Bros. Wii's Two Toads Have Names, After All... Sort Of]. November 17, 2009</ref> and Wolley by IGN forum members<ref name="kombo_yvan">Oxford, David. [http://wii.kombo.com/article.php?artid=14376 IGN Introduces New Super Mario Bros. Wii's New Stars: Yvan and Wolley?]. June 16, 2009.</ref>, appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' for the first time as a main hero and a playable character. The game begins as [[Princess Peach]]'s birthday is being celebrated by the princess herself, the Mario Bros., [[Blue Toad (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Blue Toad]], and Yellow Toad. During the festivities, a massive [[cake]] is brought into the castle. Immediately, [[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]] emerge and they kidnap Peach. Yellow Toad bravely follows closely behind the two Mario Bros. (with Blue Toad behind him) as they set off on a quest to save [[Princess Peach]].
| |
| | |
| Throughout the adventure, Yellow Toad along with his allies would have to face many of Bowser's minions ranging from [[Goomba]]s to [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Bros.]] Eventually at some points of a world, Yellow Toad would have to fight some of the mini-bosses in the games. These mini-bosses are: the Koopalings, Bowser Jr. and [[Kamek]], who all have rather different fighting styles. Upon defeating all the mini-bosses, Yellow Toad would find himself at [[Bowser's Castle]] at the end of World 8. After going into the castle, Yellow Toad would have to fight the Koopa King himself and eventually upon surving the battle and causing Bowser to fall into defeat, Yellow Toad along with his friends would be able to save the princess. After freeing her from her cage, Peach would give a small kiss for Yellow Toad and the other heroes as a thank you for saving her.

| | |
| In the end of the game, Yellow Toad can be seen riding a hot air balloon alongside Blue Toad and Luigi (however the latter has his own balloon). Once Luigi allows Mario and Princess Peach to ride in his balloon, they soon take off before he could get it causing him to be left behind. Fortunately, the two Toads invited Luigi to ride in their balloon for the journey back to [[Princess Peach's Castle]].

| ==Characteristics==
| |
| ===Personality===
| |
| Unlike the other Toads in the game (with the exception being [[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.
| |
| | |
| 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]]'' where he also sounded higher pitched in comparison to the other Toads in the game.
| |
| | |
| ===Powers and Abilities===
| |
| Throughout the game, Yellow Toad is shown to be able to perform several moves that the Mario Bros. have used in the past such as the [[Ground Pound]], [[spin jump]] and even the [[wall kick]]. Yellow Toad is also rather strong despite his size; being able to pick up, carry, and even throw items much larger than himself such as [[barrels]]. He is also capable of carrying other characters such as the Mario Bros. with ease at any point in the game. He is also revealed to be skilled in riding [[Yoshis]]; being able to control them effectively as like the Mario Bros. All of these are to not give players advantages over each other though.
| |
| | |
| He is also able to use all of the available power ups in this game, including the new [[Propeller Mushroom]], the [[Penguin Suit]] and the [[Ice Flower]]. Upon using them, he is able to gain a special ability from the items (such as throwing [[fireballs]] when using the [[Fire Flower]]). All of these power ups make Yellow Toad's coloration change to his preferred choice of color, yellow.

| *'''European Official Site Bio''': ''"As loyal servants to the Mushroom Kingdom throne, there's no way the Toads are about to sit back and watch Bowser and Co. bring their unsavory schemes to fruition. Toads have aided Mario on plenty of adventures in the past, but this time around they're not just letting Mario know the princess is in another castle - they're coming along for the ride!"''

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Yellow Toad along with the other heroes of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' 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.
| |
| *When Yellow Toad has a [[Fire Flower]], his cap resembles a [[Mega Mushroom]].
| |
| *When Yellow Toad has a [[Penguin Suit]], his cap resembles the cap [[Ghost T.]] wears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
| |
| *Although not confirmed, Yellow Toad and Blue Toad might share a relation to each other, like Mario and Luigi
