Toadette
- “Woo-Hoo! I'm the winner! Woo-Hoo!”
- —Toadette, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Toadette is Toad's female counterpart and is his sister. Unlike most Toads, she has a pink cap with white spots, instead of a white cap with colored spots. She also has a red vest-like item on her pink dress with a slightly paler yellow lining than on Toad's vest. Little else is known about her, as she was mainly created to provide Toad with a partner in multiplayer games. As portrayed in Mario Superstar Baseball Toadette has some kind of a relation with Toadsworth, but just like Toad her relation towards him remains unconfirmed. In Mario Party 8 Toadette sounds rather juvenile; her voice is more high-pitched and her laugh sounds childish. But like all the other characters in the Marioverse her age is unknown.
Biography
Double Dash Racing
Toadette first appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! as Toad's racing partner. Both Toad and Toadette need to be unlocked before they become playable characters by winning the Star cup at 100cc . Additionally, her personal racer, the Toadette Kart, can only be unlocked after Toadette herself is unlocked. Their special item is the Golden Mushroom.
The Paper Tutorials
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Toadette appears whenever Mario discovers a Hammer or a new pair of boots. She hosts a tutorial session with Mario, explaining how to use the newfound ability. Additionally, the game also reveals she likes animals and that she became sad when little Punio stopped visiting Rogueport Sewers.
Also, the game indicates that Toadette is a very emotional character. For instance, if the player changes the time on their GameCube's clock, Lucky, the Bulky Bob-omb who runs the Rogueport lottery, will mention that the lottery numbers were messed up because someone changed the clock, and that when he told Toadette this, she cried her little eyes out. Additionally, during the last tutorial session with Mario, Toadette will run off crying, knowing she will not see the plumber hero for the rest of the adventure.
It is also significant to note that during these tutorials, Toadette blushes whenever Mario performs a new move correctly, indicating that Toadette might have a slight crush on the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Strangely, her counterpart Toad does not appear at all in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Only the species of Toads appear in the game.
In Mario Party
Toadette has also become a recurring character in the Mario Party series. In Mario Party 6, Toadette can be unlocked by paying the Star Bank thirty Stars. In the sequel, Mario Party 7 and that sequel's sequel Mario Party 8, she does not need to be unlocked. Toad and Toadette share the same special orb: the Triple 'Shroom Orb , which allows the player to roll two dice blocks for three turns. Strangely, in Mario Party 6, when she is put on the same team as Wario, the team name is "Secret Friends", implying that Wario and Toadette are actually good friends (although Wario is on negative terms with her counterpart, Toad). Additionally, when teamed up with other malicious or evil characters the resulting team name is usually quite positive towards them (for example, Waluigi and Toadette is 'Diabolical Duo' and teamed with Boo is 'Terrifying Twosome' and teamed with Koopa Kid is 'Potent Pals'). This leads some to believe that Toadette may have a dark side. Although, when teamed with Princess Peach, their team name is 'Pink Punishers' . When teamed with Princess Daisy, their team name is 'Shopping Buddies'. This gives some indication that the princesses are indeed good friends with Toadette. The fact that she is giving a positive team name with villains, could be that she is very friendly and can get along with anybody.
Toadette is also a playable character in the game Mario Superstar Baseball. However, like Mario Party 6, she needs to be unlocked. To make her available, Princess Peach must beat Challenge Mode as the Team Captain. Toadette is a speed type character who plays well when Princess Peach, Toadsworth, and Toad are on her team.
Dance the night away...
During the events of Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, Toadette opens a hotel by the sea in World 2-1. However, because of the chaos caused by the removal of the Music Keys from Truffle Towers, her hotel became twisted like a corkscrew. Thankfully, Mario arrives and uses the power of dancing to return her hotel to its original shape.
Evening under the Stars
A female Toad resembaling Toadette appears in the opening cinema to Super Mario Galaxy. Due to the fact the cinema is from 100 years before the game, it is likely this is Toadettes ancestor.
Personality
Toadette is an energetic and bright girl. She is friendly and playful and enjoys being with her friends. Toadette is also caring and sensitive as mentioned earlier. Like Toad, she is partially childish.
Physical Appearance
Toadette is a pink capped Toad with pink plaids and is spotted with white dots. Like all Toads, she has beady eyes and is very short. Toadette wears a pink dress with a white pattern going through it along with a red and gold vest. This gives her a cute and innocent appearance.
Mario Superstar Baseball
Toadette is playable in her first sports title. Toadette is a speed character who starts out on Peach's team in story mode. She just so happens to be tied with Yoshi as the fastest character in the game. Toadette also happens to be the only sub-character with two special abilities, "Sliding Catch" and "Wall Jump". Aside from her only captains and sub-captains have two special abilities. Like it says in her bio, Toadette's fast feet makes a bunch of plays look extremely easy whether she's on the field or on the bases.
Buddies:
- Peach
- Toad
- Toadsworth
Bio: "A cute Toad girl with plaited locks. Though her profile is relatively unknown, she is definitely a cheery, upbeat girl who's full of energy. Taking advantage of her fast legs and light weight, Toadette can make a lot of plays look completely routine."
