- “Thanks for using your local banktoad!”
- —Banktoad, Super Mario Galaxy 2
Banktoad is a green Toad who is a member of the Toad Brigade. He has a great love for treasure and can often be found in many different galaxies where he can usually be seen digging for coins. Originally unnamed, Banktoad receives his title in Super Mario Galaxy 2 for his duty of banking Star Bits in that game.
History
Super Mario Galaxy
In Super Mario Galaxy, Banktoad and four other Toads form the Toad Brigade. During the annual Star Festival, Bowser attacks the Mushroom Kingdom and kidnaps Princess Peach, inadvertantly abducting Luigi and the Toad Brigade as well. Luckily, Mario comes across the Toad Brigade during the first mission in the Honeyhive Galaxy, after which they follow him back to the Comet Observatory. Once there, they construct a small spaceship called the Starshroom with the help of some of the Lumas onboard the Comet Observatory. After this, they use the spaceship to travel across the universe in order to help Mario recover the lost Power Stars. Banktoad can often be found with the Toad Brigade in various galaxies throughout the game. He can usually be seen exploring the area, digging for coins with his pickaxe, or otherwise giving Mario helpful hints regarding his quest.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
During his travels, Mario collects a lot of Star Bits. The player can deposit Star Bits with this banker (he appears after the player visits Spin-Dig Galaxy) on a regular basis. Banked Star Bits collect interest, which comes in handy when the player needs to make a withdrawal to feed the Hungry Lumas that Mario encounters on the World Map.
Banked Star Bits transfer across save files, so if players start a new game, they can keep all the Star Bits that they have in the bank. The Banktoad's appearance also changes, depending on how many Star Bits Mario gives to him. He can only hold up to 9,999 Star Bits, however. This, along with the galaxy's Comet Medal, is required in order to access the Prankster Comet in Grandmaster Galaxy.
Depending on how many Star Bits Banktoad is holding, his appearance will change accordingly.
- 0-999 Star Bits: Banktoad holds a white Star Bit with both his hands.
- 1000-1999: He wears glasses with his hands empty like Blue Toad.
- 2000-3999: He begins carrying a round shield with the image of Princess Peach's emblem on the front and a spear nearly twice as tall as himself.
- 4000-5999: Banktoad slings a pickaxe over his left shoulder.
- 6000-7999: He puts on goggles and a snorkel that look identical to the ones Mailtoad sometimes wears in water levels (especially Purple Coin missions).
- 8000-9999: Banktoad attaches the flashlight part of a miner's helmet to a strap he places around his head like Captain Toad.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Banktoad is also confirmed to appear in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. It's unknown if he retains his banker role from Super Mario Galaxy 2.
