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 fixed 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 three 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 before they could progress further.

In Super Mario Run, Toadette appeared as a referee for Toad Rally mode and could also be unlocked as a playable character by unlocking her house in Kingdom Builder, which itself was unlocked by recruiting 200 Toads of each available color and spending 1000 coins to build the house. Toadette's gameplay was the same as Mario's, except that she took only one hit to defeat. Toadette was also temporarily playable in some stages of the Remix 10 mode. 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, like all other Power Moons obtained in that kingdom) for every achievement that he accomplished

In New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Toadette was added as a playable character joining Mario, Luigi, two Toads and Nabbit in their quest to save Peach from Bowser and the Koopalings. Toadette was able to use a unique power-up known as the Super Crown, which would transform her into Peachette, a form that was nearly identical to Peach's appearance.

Sports Games

Toadette first appeared in a sports game, and they are her primary source of appearances.

Mario Party

Toadette appeared as an unlockable playable character in Mario Party 6, where she was unlocked after depositing thirty stars in the Star Bank. She made return appearances as a normal playable character in Mario Party 7, Mario Party 8, Mario Party 10, while she was left out of Mario Party 9 entirely. She could also be unlocked in Mario Party: Star Rush by recruiting her in the Toad Scramble mode.

She also made a nonplayable appearance as the host/co-host of several modes in Mario Party Advance and in Mario Party DS as host of the Toadette's Music Room board. In the second stage of the latter game's Story Mode, Toadette asked for Mario and company's help in defeating a Hammer Bro who was messing up her instruments, and after they did so, she rewarded them with the second Sky Crystal. In Mario Party: The Top 100 and Super Mario Party, she and Toad acted as hosts for the game. In the latter game, Toadette also guarded the Stars on each board.

Other Appearances

Video Games

  • She made a non-playable appearance in Yakuman DS as a default opponent.

In her Spirit battle, Toadette's Spirit possessed a female Villager and fought alongside a Mii Brawler dressed as Toad. After being defeated, Toadette's spirit moved to a nearby hut and ran explorations.
  • In Super Mario Maker, she was included as one of Mario's possible Mystery Mushroom costumes, after she was unlocked by completing the "Toadette: Treasure Tracker" event course.

  • Several Toads resembling Toadette are also seen in the storybook opening of Super Mario Galaxy.
