Toadette is a young Toad girl who was introduced as an extra character for Mario's sports games. She has since started making sporadic appearances in other Mario games, including appearing in some of the RPG titles and having a supporting/playable role in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

Background

Adventure Games

Toadette made her first appearance outside of sports games in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. She showed up whenever Mario learned a new move and taught him how to use it. She seemed quite sad when she finished teaching Mario the last move and had to say goodbye. She also appeared in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix as the owner of an island hotel. When Mario and Toad accidentally twisted the hotel into a corkscrew, she demanded that they fix it, despite their hurry. After they used the power of dance to do so, Toadette warned them about the dangers of the sea, but was promptly ignored.

In Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Toadette joined Captain Toad in exploring for treasure. However, her attempt to stop Wingo from stealing a Power Star resulting in her being captured. After she was rescued, Captain Toad was kidnapped instead, and Toadette was then able to travel on a solo adventure where she fought Wingo herself. She ended up being recaptured twice before Captain Toad defeated Wingo for good.

She later played an important behind-the-scenes role in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, where she worked with the Paper Toads that Mario, Paper Mario and Luigi collected in order to create Papercrafts and other useful items for their quest, as well as making Trio Attacks for the tree protagonists to use. Toadette described herself as the brains of the operation, with the Paper Toads acting as her manual labor. After her Papercraft Yoshi defeated Papercraft King Boo, the Kameks attempted to have her captured to stop her from making any more Papercrafts, at which point Mario's group had to save her from a Fly Guy in a minigame to progress.

Toadette also appeared in Super Mario Odyssey, After the main story was completed, she could be found in Princess Peach's Castle, where she kept track of the achievements that Mario made within the game and gave him a Power Moon (in the shape of a Power Star) for every achievement that he accomplished.
