Justice Toad

“Now... Stand back, citizen! Justice Toad, savior of Prism Island, has returned to crush evildoers!”

—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 his shoes, pants, journal, and vest. 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 are 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.

Quotes

• "Mario! Thanks for the save! Too bad you couldn't save my dignity. My clothes fell off when I fell from the airship! I wanted to teach those paint-stealing villains a lesson, so I jumped on their ship! But that thing is faster than it looks! I was hanging on for dear life, and my grip finally gave out.

Go find those Paint Stars, Mario! FOR JUSTICE! Ugh... If I ever get out of here, I'm gonna use my powers to come up with a special move that'll one-shot any bad dude on the planet! Although, by the time Mario's done, there might not be any bad dudes left. Save some for me!"
• "Just two Big Paint Stars to go. May justice be with you! Did Yellow fall asleep? Or is this the final level of meditation? He looks so peaceful."
• "Just that green Big Paint Star left to find! Go get it!"
• "We'll all be cheering you on from here! Go restore peace and justice to Prism Island! Maybe then we'll be able to get out of this gate for a little bit..."
